    Trying to plan my LAST wild night of fun as a single lady, but keep running into issues combined with my indecisiveness SO I could really use some ideas from the hive!

    The issues:

    My sister (MOH) is underage so anything wil bars, vegas, basically anything fun is out!

    My friends are mainly students finishing their last year of pharm school AKA broke :( And I feel guilty doing anything SUPER expensive.

    The ideas so far:

    1. Trip to Vegas: This would be the ultimate experience BUT it will cost $$$ and my sis won't be able to participate much

    2. Rent Oregon Coast Beach House: This would be reasonable, only 4 hour drive from Seattle but I don't know how bachelorette partyish it will be....more of a relaxing weekend

    3. Downtown Seattle: Prob rent a hotel suite and go out on the town. Fun but MOH gotta wait behind :( Plus we've all been out in Seattle many times

    I really want this to be an experience to remember!! But I don't want to step on peoples toes (MOH and $$$ factor). What do u think? Any OTHER good ideas? Or are any of these great ideas?

    Should have waited a year when my sis is of age and we're all pharmacists.....sigh

    Does a bachelorette party have to be crazy and nuts? I think the beach house sounds awesome! You could do all the girly things, plus you're far enough away to make it seem like a trip away.

    I think the beach house would be fun, and I do agree that it doesn't have to be crazy town for everyone but I'm a pretty vanilla girl and I really would like it to be a wild party :) Going out for at least part of it is a must...if we do the beach house there isn't really any opportunities for that...

    If you are close to Seattle, you are probably not that far from Vancouver. The drinking age in Canada is 19 so you sister would be able to go to you with the bars. Have you considered doing a weekend in Vancouver?

    Good date pink slipper :) Yeah we talked about BC....it would kind of be the best of both worlds. I think we ruled it out cuz my sis doesn't have a passport but she could get on that this month. We're thinking June! Lots to do there then?

    Thanks for your help ladies :) Keep those ideas coming!

    As long as she is a US citizen, she should be able to cross the border with her WA ID and birth certificate. Passports only take 6-8 weeks to get.

    On a different note, Lake Chelan is a great place to rent a house and party for a weekend. Check out www.vrbo.com for rental houses. We have done that a few times with 6-8 girls and had a blast.

    I like the beach house. Is there no country bar nearby that some of you could go to at some point if you needed to go out to feel wild?

    What about an all ages club/bar/music venue that only serves alcohol to those of age?

    This sounds so familiar - I sometimes wonder if I should have waited until I graduated pharmacy school to get married (I have 2 more years though) and my sister is my MOH and is underage.

     

    I like the beach house idea :-)

    Props to @pink slipper...her solution about BC was the one I was going to make! Great minds think alike!

    Good luck! I figure, with the right girls & mindset, you'll have a wildly good time, whatever you choose!

    One of the things I'm doing is a private cardio striptease/pole dancing class (don't actually take your clothes off of course!)  Am planning on having the girls over to my place before and after for drinks/food/etc.  Maybe that's a way to still have fun, but involve your MOH?

    I think you might actually need a passport now to go across the border, but I am not sure if that law has taken affect yet.
