    Seems like this is the traditional thing to do, but lately i have been hearing girls not really doing it and as for me, I never really cared to have a bachelorette party and would not be sad or disappointed if i didnt have one. Just wondering how you guys feel about it.

    I really don't care to have a bachelorette party. I only have a couple of very close friends, I'm only have a MOH in my bridal party (and she's a good bit older than me), I'm not a big drinker, and all the gals that would come are pretty scattered geographically. It would be hard to get everyone together.

    If anything, I'd like to just have a girls only movie night/sleepover. Lots of comfort food and chic flicks and maybe a bottle or two of wine. I'd be a happy girl.

    I would much rather have a nice dinner with my closest girlfriends than have a guy at a bar "Suck for a buck" (lol although the money WOULD be nice...)

    I'm with tessabella, I'd love a girly sleepover and just something laid back with my closest friends. I wouldn't be upset in the slightest if we didn't do any sort of bachelorette event though.

    I agree - I'm not a big party person, and I can't drink.  I would much prefer a quiet dinner with close friends or some other low key activity.

    I really want to have a bachelorette party because I really enjoy going out on the town, having nice dinners, and drinking with my girlfriends. I don't want any sort of raunchy thing or a stripper or anything too stereotypically nasty. I'm not wearing a tiara. I'm not wearing a sash. None of that. I'd just really like a classy night out on the town with my girls, especially because my FI and I are probably going to end up moving out of NYC in a few years and I won't be able to see everyone as easily.

    I love partying with my friends, and if they wanna throw me a bachelorette party, I'm totally down!  I'll wear the sash, tiara, penis veil, the whole shabang, LOL!  Some of the best nights on the town I've had are at my friends' bachelorette parties!  It's too much fun to pass up!  :)

    I'm definitely looking forward to a bachelorette party!! I don't want strippers either, but we're planning to hit the town and then have a slumber party ;). I live only a few blocks from all the good bars that I like so I think it should be a fun night to walk out, drink what we want, walk back, and hang out all night. I don't think this is something I'll be able to do too often after getting married (how many times can you kick your husband out of your apartment??!) so I'm really excited about a girls' night out that will unlikely be repeated (sure we'll all hang out often, but probably not like this!).

    I'm having one but it'll be more of a nice outting than trashy suck for a buck type deal-

    Drinks, finger foods, and games at my MOH's place, then out to dinner at a nice restaurant, then out to a laid back pub type place for after-drinks :)

    I'm having a bachelorette, but none of the raunchy stuff. Just a weekend away with my girls... we'll definitely go out and have lotsa drinks, but no one will ever know it's anything other than a girls night out.

    I've no interest in a bachelorette personally. If I have a wedding shower that alone will be a minor miracle!

    I do hope my guy has a bachelor party though, I think he'll enjoy spending some time with the guys.

    While I'm all for the idea of going out with all my gal pals - I wouldn't really care if I didn't have an official bachelorette party.  I have a girls night every week with my closest girl friends in the area.  I have a hard time imagining what would be much different about a bachelorette party than what we already do - except that we'd definitely be going out to the bars, which doesn't happen too often.

    I told my girls, that I don't want a "bachelorette party" or a "hen party" as some call it. None of us drink. My sister and my FSIL are both bridesmaids, and only one of them will barely be 18 by time we get married! LOL. So the day before the wedding, I think that me & my four girls, my mom, and maybe his mom & aunt will probably go to the movies & out to eat. Just have a girls day out since those rarely happen.

    My FI said that a few of his guys would want him to do "wild stuff" but he said that he doesn't want to. He will probably hang out with his BM, which is his uncle, and "go four-wheeler riding!"  *shakes head* Men...loL!

    tonight is my bachelorette party and although i voted 'no, i don't care', i'm happy to hang out with my local (= none of my bridesmaids) girl friends by having dinner and going to a martini bar for a couple of drinks.  nothing crazy, it's more like an excuse to hang out.

    I know my family is planning one. It won't be a whole night on the town, it will be at a place with lots of food and drinks and my family and friends. As a matter of fact it will have a stripper. My aunts and cousin and friends all don't mind. it will be a big family affair.. as a matter of fact I think my aunts enjoy it more than anything .. hahahado care about having a bachelorette party? :  wedding Icon Wink.

    I care about having a weekend with my girlfriends to relax and spend time together, so that is what we are doing...a weekend at the beach.  It is my "bachelorette," and I am sure we will go to the bars, but the focus is not "suck for a buck" or anything trashy.

    I care about having a nice evening {or spa day!} with my closest girlfriends, but not in a traditional bachelorette party sense. My gf's are also far spread across the country, making a real get together a bit tough.

    Personally, I am not into the typical bachelorette parties= humiliating the bride with penis straws ... no thank you!

    Although, I've never been to one, and am the "first" to get married ... and my MOH is my teenage sister + chose to have no bridesmaids. I wouldn't mind a fun and relaxing weekend away with my mom & sister and whoever else may be able to join us ... but just for relaxing on the beach and going to the spa. 

    However, my f-sil asked if I want to have a lingerie party ... I said I don't know.

    I'm not a huge drinker, plus I would want to spend my bachelorette with people closest to me and that includes my two younger sisters who are not yet of legal drinking age. I choose other because I do want a bachelorette party in the sense that I would love a night with my best friend, my sisters, my mom, and a few other people where we could hang out and have a ball. We're actually considering doing something like going to an indoor waterpark hotel not far from us, that way those who wish to drink can but those who don't can do other things. I think it sounds like a blast for us and more of a bonding experience than bar hopping for a night.

    I would be mortified to wear a tiara and veil in public, let alone with genital shaped ecoutrements, so we're skipping this tradition.

I want to have a theme, but havn't decided what theme yet. But we will be doing it up with the veil, sash, straws, and being that rowdy group of girls that we all know and love, LOL do care about having a bachelorette party? :  wedding Icon Wink

    I am doing everything on my own and don't have anyone in my bridal party since they live so far away and can't make it.   But I only wish I could have one:)  I think there are so many different kinds of parties you coul dhave.  I am not a big drinker but I love too dance.  So for me I always thought dressing everyone up in prom dresses and just getting to be goofy for a night would be fun.  If I was rich a cruise:)  Bit dreamer:)

    I was on the fence b/c everyone lives in different cities, and I didn't want people to be inconvenienced etc.  But my MOH insisted.  And I kind of wish I just said, "No thank you".  It was alright, but it ended up being just her, one other BM, and my sister (for dinner, she's 8 mos pregnant so left after that).  My MOH was in a foul mood the whole time, yawning and being low energy.  My other BM was fun, but...I wanted to be super thankful, but it was such a let down to have my supposed BFF be so grumpy that I would rather not have had one at all.

    I just wanted to chime in and say that I have absolutely no interest in a b'ette party. My fiance has no interest in a bachelor party, either. Mostly, because we feel that we haven't been single for four years now, so what exactly are we celebrating? We don't really get it.

    I can completely understand brides wanting a girl's night before the wedding, and the groom wanting a boy's night, but I'd rather keep it low-key if someone really wanted to throw me one: camping or a sporting event for boys and a spa day or nice dinner out for girls. Anything that's roudy or over-the-top seems silly and pointless to me.

    Plus, it's not like once you're married you're required to stay home with your husband/wife! We both plan on spending lots of time together, of course, but also not lose touch with our friends who are single. We're not joined at the hip :)

    It's not my style to have a big "peenie headwear" Chippendales kind of bachelorette party, and I honestly don't expect my bridesmaids' to go all out. I think we will probably go to dinner at a fun restaurant and then go have drinks & dance at a club, but nothing out of the ordinary, no "Bachelorette" crown or anything! Just a fun girl's night out. We're going to do manicures & pedicures the day before the wedding but my MOH is going to pay for that.

    I want a party, but not a bar-hopping, peenie-wearing blowout. I'm working with my MOH to find some fun under-21 friendly things to do. On the list? Japanese steakhouse, manicures, massages, and renting a hotel room (probably two or three, really). We'll buy some alcohol for the hotel, but I'm not a big fan of drinking heavily anyways.

    I had one of the funnest nights of my life. It was an absolute blast dancing and singing and looking all hot a la Sex and the City (the theme was black and white cocktail dresses).

    We had dinner at my house, entertainment *cough* (it was freakin hilarious lemme tell ya), dessert and cocktails at the melting pot, then dancing!

    I really don't care whether I get one or not, but I know several of my close friends want me to have a wine-tasting weekend either in Temecula or Paso Robles.  On the other hand, I only see my FI on the weekends and hate to give up that time.  If we are able to move in together before the wedding, I will be more excited about a weekend with the girls.

    I want one as long as there are no penis-shaped items present. I'm not a prude at all, but that stuff just stresses me out!

     

    I would love a pimp cup though to carry around. Perhaps like this, but with more fake bling.

    http://shinebrides.com/273_500_csupload_5276213.jpg?u=633861624837993750

    My MOH and/or bridesmaids could carry these...
