    Who gets invited to the bachelorette party? I assumed it was just girlfriends your age that you would normally go out with but I just had one of my aunts ask if I was going to be inviting them. I hadn't even considered that but I don't want to leave them out if they are all expecting to be invited.

     I have eight aunts ranginging from 10 years older than me to 30 years older. i am close with some and not so close with others. I do feel that if I invite one I should invite them all. I'm just afraid that will kind of change the tone of what the bachelorette party is. I am not planning on having anything raunchy  or wild but I just thought a bachelorette party was more of a friends thing than a family thing. Plus I am having a bridal luncheon the next day and they will all be invited to that. I dont' want to offend or hurt anyone though. 

    So I guess what I am trying to ask is who is normally invited to bachelorette parties?

    Even if you're not planning an all out crazy penis-straws & poofy veil bachelorette, I think it's fair to make it a no-family event.  I opted to have a girls night out with one of my bridesmaids (in two days!) rather than figure out who to invite, but I would definitely rule out anyone I  didn't want to see me embarrassingly drunk.

    Could they maybe go to dinner with y'all then you and your friends go out? I'm really close to my aunts, so I would have invited them {they wouldn't have come knowing it was a friend thing} if I had had a b-party.

    Will the older aunts be offended if they're not invited? Your mom? I think to keep it simple, I would just invite my friends and family from my peer group (cousins and siblings ) that I'm close with.

    For my Bachelorette party I will be having my aunts there but that is because we are all pretty close and they love these kinds of parties. My sister (MOH) and my great friend are planning this for me and so far it seems pretty innocent, dinner, drinks and the casino =)
