    Is your mom coming to  your bachelorette party? or if you already had it did your mom come? and how was it?

    I'm having the typical bachelorette party and i want my mom there but some days I have doubts so I'm still thinking about it... would love to hear any stories or opinions.

    thanks!

    My mom, FI's mom, and anyone else who wants to come will be invited! Our families are really close, and I wouldn't even think of not inviting them! We are having a typical bachelorette party, and they are both looking forward to it.

    I didn't invite my mom; I don't think she expected to be invited.

    That said, I didn't have a typical bachelorette party, so it would have been fine for her to be there.

    My mom came for the begining (we did a co-ed at a comedy club and then went out). My younger sister wasn't 21 so my mom came with her. Once we were ready to really party, my mom took that as her cue to leave-and take my underage sister ith her:)

    My Mom and one of my aunt's came.  Both of them had a blast and I'm glad they were there!  I didn't have the most "typical" bachlorette though; dinner, bowling and ended at a pub (which was pretty much dead) and both my mom and aunt are in their early 40s and drink/party (even though age has nothing to do with it, as my grandmother is in her 70s and will drink anyone under the table and stay up all night...)

    My sister had a casual bachelorette (spa & winery for a glass of wine & boardgames with all the women in our family), and having my mom there was very nice.

    I'm going to have a more typical bachelorette party, and I would feel weird with my mom there, particularly because she doesn't drink. I actually would like to have my aunt there, though, but she's much more laid back. I think it depends on a. your mom's personality b. the kind of shower you're having and c. if those two mix :)

    I had a Pure Romance party and it was weird enough having my SIL there. LOL. I didn't need my mom to see the cock ring demonstration.

    I do remember one time on a trip for college, we were eating at a Hard Rock Cafe and there was a bachelorette party going on in which it looked like both the mom and MIL were there (two mid-50s women, everyone else ~25-30), and one of them (not sure which) was sitting at the table with a penis hat on, and she looked like she'd rather have been tarred and feathered than be at that party, lol.

    My mom and aunt came to my bachelorette party and they had a great time. My MIL was supposed to come but she ended up getting sick that morning. My b-party wasn’t anything wild or inappropriate (wine tasting, a nice dinner, comedy show and then karaoke) so the elders of the group (they’d kill me if they knew I’m referring to them as “elders”, lol) were totally in their element. I’m super close with both my mom and aunt and now that I’m older, we’re more like friends than anything. Everyone had a great time and I’m thrilled that I got to enjoy my bachelorette party with most of the women I love.

    Last I checked, my kids don't even want to see an R-rated movie with me.  If this event involves penis hats, I'm pretty sure it would be awkward for both your mother and you.

    My mom is pretty open and if she wants to come then she is more then welcome. However, my FI mothers. She is not invited nor would she even come. They are a BIG Christian family and I can see the judging from here if she came. lol, But to save face, we are having a low key party at our home which everyone is invited to come including FI moms, our over age aunts, my little sister and FI close cosuin (both are 20), then I know my girls will take me away to something crazy. And this will be for the ladies who don't care about what goes on at a Bachelortte party.

    I definitely had a non-traditional bachelorette. I decided to only do family in my wedding party, so I have my 2 sisters, an aunt, and 2 cousins (16 and 11 years old). I wanted the older people to be able to drink and enjoy themselves and I didn't want to exclude my cousins, so we went on a wine tour in upstate NY. My mom and grandma came along because, hey why not, Grandma likes to get down every once in a while, too. It was a lot of fun, driving around place to place and we even had a karaoke hookup in the van.

    (I did end up having a local quasi-bachelorette a few weekends ago with some girlfriends for some mom- and grandma-free fun.)

    thanks for all the replies lady.

     my mom is in her mid 40's, and she drinks. I also want her best friend there because I'm really close to her, and her friend is lots of fun! so it wouldn't be right to invite her friend and not my mom. I think my mom will have fun , I just have doubts some days.

    my BM's aren't telling me too much but I know there'll be a stripper, drinks, and  a penis cake haha.

    I'm not really sure since I don't know what we're doing... I told my BMs to go ahead and invite Mom/FMIL and an aunt if we do something not too crazy, or a wine tasting or something.... but I don't see my mom/FMIL wanting to go out for a late night of drinks, etc.

    @2dBride:  haha I think my mom would just laugh at the penis hats(which i never seen either) & I mentioned the stripper to her and she thinks that'd be fun! lol we'll see

    @cardnasac:  yes on the same boat as you, my FMIL is not invited, I love her to death but she would be a fish out of water at the party.
