    My sister got engaged, yay! She's going to be having a courthouse wedding and then a party later because her fiance is from another country and they won't have time to plan the wedding they want, which means they have to get married pretty soon. I'd like to throw her a bachelorette party before she gets legally married.... but I'll have a one month old then. I'm planning on breastfeeding so I don't want to plan anything too crazy, I'll either have my husband with the baby close by for when she needs to eat or take her along with us.

    Anybody have some baby friendly ideas? Also budget friendly? She threw me an amazing bachelorette party surprise trip so I would like it to be special for her too, but I just bought a house and am having a baby so I just don't have the money. I'm open to going out or staying in and throwing a party at home.

    We are doing a "Pure Romance"  ( ie. sex toy party) party to start mine. That way most of the ladies including my mom and Fmil can come to that if they want and then we will drink and all that.

    I'm not a club goer so it's going to be pretty laid back.

    I would just throw a party at home, and the make a plan so that maybe once the LO is no longer so dependent, you all have a girls weekend or something. Maybe once they throw their big party later, you can try to plan something bigger then.

    You could do all kinds of stuff, Pampered Chef has a bridal registry, you can do Scentsy, Slumber Party..there are so many different types of party companies out now. Or you could just do a girlfriends night in

    How about a themed party at home. Can you pump and leave the milk with your husband?

    Maybe an around the world party. Each person makes an appetizer or dish and brings a bottle of wine from that country. When they RSVP they RSVP with their country so no one duplicates. Evite is great for this!

    Then you could make little flags of the country and a label card so everyone knows what dish is what and from where. Maybe organize a blind wine tasting for a fun thing to do?

    You could do a "name that tune" with songs from different countries and people have to guess what country it is. Play 10 and they can write their answers on a piece of paper. Then tally them up and the top three winners get a prize based on international foods (like wine, swiss chocolate and even a "gag" prize of a can of refried beans.

    @Crisark: I thought about that, but I think she'd just be embarrassed. I think it sounds fun though!

     @MrsSl82be: That's a good idea, that way we'll be able to do something more when my baby's a bit older and I won't have to have her along with us. 

    @lefeymw: That's a great idea, and perfect for my sister! She loves to travel, she met her fiance on a tour of Europe and they've been traveling together ever since, because he lives on the other side of the world.

    @Crisark:  I love PR parties, but lord have mercy, your Mom AND FMIL!??? Girl have you lost your mind?!  ;)

    What about a paint your own pottery place?  A lot of them allow you to bring your own booze too.

    @KristenGotMarried: I love paint your own pottery! But it's way more me than her, I'm the artsy one in the family. It's hard for me to come up with things that she loves instead of things that I would love to do.

    Is your sister okay with that? you may want to ask her what she wants to do. Not to be rude but this is about her not you. My MOH had a baby 2 weeks before my bachlorette party and she was still able to go and not have a baby there. She didnt stay the whole night or anything but she planned it out pretty well, with pumping and everything.

    i dont know to me i would ask her what she wants to do and go from there. i would just be upset if my bachlorette party was focused around a baby.

    what if you do something at your house like the "toy or sexy outfit party" and then have the other BM's take her out afterwards? that way you can host the first party of the party and then she can do something fun out on the town for last part?

    Hmmm, with a one month old, I think I'd be more inclined to host a party outside my home so I didn't have to clean up afterward.  :)

    My sister's bachelorette was at a bowling alley.  If your sister is more into sports, a bowling alley or some sporting event (baseball game, etc...) might be fun.

    @Julesb81: I understand some people wouldn't be ok with having a baby at their party, but I just don't see my sister being one of those people. She's not a go out clubbing type of person, so it would have been pretty laid back anyway. I don't want to pump, and I'm not going to spend all that money on pumping supplies just for one night. I'm not going to focus the party around the baby, I just want something that a baby is able to be at. I've thought about wine tasting and things like that (obviously not for a baby but things she would like and I'd still be able to attend), but I'm just trying to get other ideas for fun things we could do.

    @Mrs. Spring: She does like baseball! I'll have to go check the game schedule. I've thought about the clean up aspect as well, if it's an at home thing we'll probably just use my SIL's house.
