Bachelorette Party

So I've been reading how it's not proper to invite people who are not invited to the wedding. Well today I just seen one of my girlfriends who I am not  inviting to the Maui ceremony. She knows we are having a small intimate wedding and even told me there was no way she could go. She does however want to do Vegas with some of the other girls in our circle who are also not invited to the ceremony. She loves to have fun as do the other girls....what do I say? Should I let her get together with my MOH and they can invite everyone and plan whatever they want?

Re: Bachelorette Party

  • I have people that aren't coming to our wedding but the people hosting the party invited them.  They seem to be more excited about it than my own BMs so I am just happy to have them there.  There are also a few of my friends unable to come to the wedding but want to be there for me, which is nice. 
  • Thanks!! It's good to hear the real stories rather than what people tell you should happen...my friend is so hyped about it and wants to help plan it so I guess I will let her and my MOH run with it :) Who doesn't love a girls trip right ??!!

  • Our bachelor and bachelorette parties are with our friends the week before we leave for Hawaii. Hawaii is just us and our parents. We're having an AHR when we return and they're all going to join us there.

    Everyone is cool with our DW and the way we decided to do it and they're just as excited for us and want to be just as involved in the celebration leading up to and following the wedding as if it were a wedding here.

    Of course, on the etiquette board this is a no-no and we're selfish for wanting to party with our friends if they're not invited to the DW, but they're all wet blankets and if you ask us, most of us are doing what we want and are getting very little to no backlash. Our friends and family support us and likely yours will support you too!
  • I have girls going that are not going to the wedding. If they want to go I say let them. The more the merrier :)
