We went to the wineries for the day! It was just perfect for me and my girls!
I picked "none, didn't want one" but it was also kind of the second choice, because I imagine if my friends had SUGGESTED something I would have enjoyed it. I mean, FI and I have been together 8 years. To go out for one last "single" night would have seemed odd, but to have a special night to spend with my friends would have been nice. Sadly it wasn't offered/brought up.
MOH is planning a spa day followed by a nice dinner, then probably a sleepover with lots of chick flicks.
@melisslp: @Miss Longcoat: Those sound like fun! I'm not sure what I'm doing for my bachelorette party yet, if I even end up having one. It could be low-key, or it could be crazy!
Keep those responses coming, ladies!
We are just going for lunch and maybe getting pedicures afterward. I'm 27 and feel like I'm over the whole party thing.... I would much rather go have good conversation and laughs with my closest girls, then go out get sloshed, look at sweaty men dancing (ewww) and not remember my party the next day. : )
I already told my friends that I wanna go bowling. Good old fun like when we were young. Plus, noone has a chance of drinking and driving. That is important to me.
I want a low key, just dinner and a few drinks.... but my friend has warned me that I should not drive out and to "be prepared". eeeek!
I don't think I am having one. 2 of my BM live in OOT, My MOH lives OOT, and the other 3 are either too young to plan anything or just non existant in any planning as it is! So probably won't have one!
I had 2 (both small groups of ladies) one in Vegas and one in Palm Springs, both had 1 1/2 days of relaxing and one night of going out. In Vegas we went to a comedy club and I had a "LIST" of things to check off and in Palm Springs we went to a restaurant and then went back and got dressed for dancing.
club. They both were fun and I'm glad we did them.
Going Low-Key. FH and I discussed this early on, when we were still in the bf/gf stage, and decided to have a laid back get together with friends, have an awesome dinner, have some great drinks, maybe play some pool and head home feeling awesome. Strippers and clubs just don't do it for us and neither do hangovers.
I am going to one in two weeks where I know there will be a stripper there. The bride is 28.
Back in the day I would be running to the bank to get singles. Now I am like ew. Back in the day I would be wasted on Mad Dog or Apple Pucker. Now I like a nice dry martini. Back in the day the girls and I had to SCRAPE the bottom of the couch for money to pay for stripper, limo, drinks, etc. Now we can afford all that and more. So we will be spending the day at the spa and go out to a very nice dinner. And maybe some stripper pole classes for giggles. :)
mine was standard clubbing. i am away on internship for a year, so my BMs couldnt do one for me and i always said i didnt want a typical crazy bachelorette, but my coworkers were super nice and wanted to do something. i said i like dinner and dancing, so we did that, but then they bought some accessories and forced me to wear it! (headpiece with veil, sash, flashing button!). i never wanted the accessories and extra attention, but it turned out to be fun! and everyone kept buying me shots, so i ended up puking in the bathroom - something i probably havent done since my early to mid-20s!
I wanted the crazy party - but, the reality was - with friend's having kids and other responsibilities - I wanted it as low-key as possible. It ended up being dinner w/ a club/drinking afterwards. It felt more like a weekend night out than a crazy bachelorette party.
A friend of mine (in her mid-30's) just got married for the second time. Her Bach party was in a neighboring city (about 2 hours away where she had moved from to be with her FI). We first took a pole dancing class, then drank wine and opened gifts at a friends house and then went bar hopping. It was a lot of fun and that's exactly what I want to do for my Bach.
We will be spending the day wine-tasting, probably spend the night at a hotel, and then lounge by the pool the following day. We live about 45 minutes from Napa, so its not too big of a trip.
If it weren't for Napa, I probably would have liked to have a spa day, followed by dinner, or some sort of "educational" activity - flower arranging, jewlery making, cooking class, etc. Nearly all of my girlfriends are married, or about to be married, and we're pretty over the bar scene.
In addition, many of the girlfriends who are invited to the wedding live all over the place, so I'm not expecting a big showing for the bachelorette party. I'm thinking it will be about 4 ladies. I'm pretty excited to relax by the pool with cocktail.
We went to a country park hotel on the Friday for afternoon (was very posh)
On the Saturday the other two BMs arrived and we went to watch the horse racing, drink in a pub, a meal then clubbing.
We aren't doing B-parties .... instead, we are doing a joint "family bowling night" with music, pizza and fun the night before the wedding 
I really want one but nobody has sais anything. My sister wants to take me out for drinks though, so I gyess that is it. I wanted a wild party with clubbin and drinking and I wanted to wear the PENIS TIARA :)
We are doing a Jack and Jill with our wedding party, at a friend's pool.
My friends took me on a tour of haunted New Orleans (we were in town for a conference), then a late dinner and walk on Bourbon street. I don't drink so it was especially perfect for me!
Update: Went to the bachelorette party of my friend who is 28 this weekend. Majority of the girls are over 30 and some are married. Everyone was RUNNING from the stripper. The poor guy left after 20 minutes because no one wanted to get humped by him. In our 20s it would of been different but I think we really outgrew strippers for sure!
I spa day to me sounds perfect. Nothing against strippers, but I would just rather keep it low key. That bowling night sounds freaking fabulous. I might borrow that idea. I like Jack & Jill affairs anyway.
@Prewitt: Hahahaha. Love the picture!
@baletrina: Thanks for the update!
Just had mine last weekend. We did a joint party (Jack and Jill?) and went out for dinner and then to a comedy club. It was a lot of fun! (we were supposed to go paintballing too, but that fell thru unfortunately)
It is my second marriage. The first was still the old fashioned kitchen tea. Very nice. This time I'm asking my friends to donate time or something etc. going to the SPCA and helping to clean the cages or go to the old age home and to spoil them a little. Something like that would be nice. We haven't got an orphanage nearby, that could have been an option too. But I like the SPCA idea most. Maybe they can donate a blanky or food
Going to have a spa afternoon with a few close friends. Pink champagne, massages, mani-pedis, and pink cupcakes. Kind of a grownup version of a Princess party which is fitting because my fiance calls me Princess :o)
Mine was pretty low key we went to San Diego and rented a room for the night.
We had a spa day that consisted of Massages and Facials. We then went to an AMAZING dinner and went to a Karaoke bar until 1pm.
It was pretty awesome and I woke up the next morning with no hangover. That was my ideal bachelorette. :)
We plan to go out of town, and I hope for a good balance between relaxation girl time and hopefully some more crazy fun night time activities for the non-pregnant attendees. Definitely different than the bachelorette parties I attended and/or hosted in my early twenties. We did something similar for my best friend when she was 27, and at the time I probably would have wanted a crazier scene, but now it's my ideal, too! She's so wise. :)
I don't want a crazy bachelorette party - I feel like I'm too old for that now. I can't party like I used to in my early and mid 20's.
But that being said, I do LOVE karaoke and would love to kit a karaoke bar, but none of my girlfriends like that... even thought I know it's my bachelorette, I want my friends to have fun too!
I don't know what we're going to do, but I would say that it will be a low-key night. And I'm ok with that - I'm too tired for much else! lol!
I didn't have one. I think it would have been nice to go out with my bridesmaids to a low-key dinner or something, but we didn't fly into town until two days before the wedding (and it was a mad dash of last minute preparations from the time the wheels hit the runway). Planning a wedding from 2500 miles away definitely had its less-than-fun moments...and I could have used some relaxing girl-time!
I didn't have one either. We had a very small wedding and no bridesmaids/groomsmen. I also live far away from my closest friends and there wasn't enough time to make something happen the day before the wedding when a few friends were in town. I wish we could've done something though. I would've liked to have gotten dressed up and gone to a fancy jazz bar or something, sip martinis and wine and just talk and laugh. But alas...
I had a low key bachelorette...it was the night before my shower, so getting drunk was not an option for me. We just went to a very late dinner and then did a little dancing. Nothing crazy.
35 here - i went out for dinner with my MOH, BM's and another girlfriend, then back to my BM's apartment for pre-drinks with about 15 other ladies, then out barhopping, where we drank our faces off and danced the night away, it was PERFECT :)
I'm 31 - my best friends organized a long weekend getaway at two cabins in Big Sur. It was AMAZING. We hiked, cooked, ate, drank, and relaxed. Best weekend ever.
Interesting! I'm 33 and I don't know just yet what is in store for me...lol...but we are definately going to see some naked men (well, almost naked) and do some bar hopping in Philly. My mom and close Aunts will be there (HA!) for all the fun! Gotta see some strippers, it's just way too much fun!

Pick the category that best describes your bachelorette party. (They're ranked in order from non-existent to mildest to all-out craziest if that helps you decide which description is most fitting.) And how does your party compare to the ones you may have attended in your teens and 20's?
