    Anyone else decide to do their bachelorette party *right* before the wedding?

     

    The majority of my friends are from out of town---and since they will be in town for the wedding, it would probably be easier to go out Friday night, or even Saturday after the rehearsal. Does this make sense?

     

    Our rehearsal is actually a rehearsal, it's not for guests. My grandmother is hosting brunch the day after the wedding for family and out of town guests (isn't that awesome?).

     

    I'm not a huge drinker, but I usually want 1 or 2 drinks when we go out. Can I do this the night before, or two nights before, or is that crazy?

     

    My MOHs are willing to plan me *anything* (because they are super awesome! even though one of them just got invited to be a bridesmaid for a wedding in August, she's still being super awesome!).

    I would try to go out on Friday, there are other in the wedding that will be partying with you and you really want them in the best shape for the wedding.

    @tksjewelry:Is it weird that my one MOH doesn't drink *at all* and my other MOH is like me and will drink 2? My bridesmaid can drink maybe 3 if she really wants. None of us are big drinkers, but we do like to go out.

    I don't think anyone will be hung over from this. :)

    I am not having a bachelorette party, but I arranged my sister's party for the week of the wedding. She got married on Saturday and the bachelorette party was on Weds. It was fun...we all piled into the stretch Navigator and went to a restaraunt/bar that does male strippers on Weds nights. We had as much fun IN the limo as we did in the restaraunt. My sister is not a big drinker but we still got her drunk...LOL. I think we were able to fit about 12 people comfortable in the limo.

    @ellabee: In SF, you can get a limo for as many as you'd like. You can do anything from a town car to limo to party bus to cable car. (Mr Toad's Tours even charters their cool old cars!)

    I'd also go for Friday. One option here in SF could be to go to Asia SF. I've never been, but I've heard good things. They're gender illusionists and do shows, dinner, etc. In fact, there are TONS of fab restaurants here if you want to go out to a great dinner.

    Mine is the Saturday one week before the wedding.  This is close enough that one of my out of town BMs will be here, but enough time for everyone to recover!

    I got married on a Sunday and had my bach party on that Friday night. We got hotel rooms, spent the afternoon hanging out and waiting for everyone to congregate, then went out to a nice dinner, went to a bar afterwards, and back at the hotel about 12:30. It was definitely most convenient for my firends, who were coming in from all over the place! I think the night was more tame than an earlier party could have been, just because I wanted to be really careful with my health right before the wedding. But, my friends and me aren't huge partiers anyway, so it worked out well for me :)

    I would not do it the night before. I say two nights before is fine, but the way I see it I want to get a good night sleep the night before the wedding since the next day will be super busy and emotional and everything.
