Does anyone have any good ideas for an alternative to a bridal shower?

    Even though this is my first wedding, I am 40 years old and really have no desire to sit there and open gifts while my friends and relatives "ooh" and "ahh".  I DO want to have a get together with all of the ladies in my life to celebrate the day, however.  I'm not much for a spa day type of experience so I am looking for other ideas for a "non-shower, pre-wedding, all ladies get together".

    You can do whatever you want. Go to a shooting range or play paintball. Hit up an amusement park. Pick an awesome restaurant for dinner. Head out to an orchard and pick apples. Have a BBQ in a park. Just pick an activity and tell the ladies to show up!

    Hoenstly...I hate showers.  I'll do anything for my friends and buy them gifts (i do love giving gifts!)  If my bridesmaids will let me...I'd love to have a big open house style party with food, drinks, etc like a REAL party and invite both men and women.  You want to do something where everyone will be comfortable and have a good time.  I like the idea of having it at a cool restaurant or bar, or a bbq!

    What about doing a wine tour of Woodinville?
