My b-party was kind of like this. I, too, squirm a lot. lol. So we just went out to dinner then back to my friend's house. She had made chocolate fondue and the girls paid for a massage therapist to come and give 25 minutes massages. It was heavenly. And I ate a lot of chocolate. :)
when i think of slumber parties i think of junk food and cute pjs!
you could get some ice cream and her fav junk food and/or takeout and have everybody wear some cute pjs, maybe even in her wedding colors with hers being white.
victoris secret has CUTE lounge wear and pj sets! omg they have the CUTEST bride zip up white cotton jacket that you could get her and then some cute white pj pants. the easiest way to find the jacket is type in bridal in their search at the top of the homepage and then itll be towards the bottom under the lingerie. i personally cant wait to get it soon!
make her wear the bacheloretter crown and sash and decorate the house or living room. party city has bachelorette themed decorations. the lingerie thing sounds cute, as long as people dont bring toys, she might faint!
yall can make non-alcoholic cocktails and serve them in martini glasses and everyone, even the younger girls and older ladies will enjoy it!
watch some bride/love themed movies, like bride wars and the notebook!
hope this helps some!
I think Avocado had a similar bachelorette party. You could play fun grade school games like light as a feather stiff as a board and such :) My sister played a bunch of board games at hers - we loved Apples to Apples!
Ooooo bride movies! excellent idea. Def. going to have to get her a white/bride sweatsuit - she'll look so cute in it. :)

I didn't want a bar hopping party, which is usually the type of party I've attended for previous friends...instead, I wanted something low key, relaxing, and casual. Originally the girls were thinking a spa day and then a slumber party idea, to have maybe a couple of drinks, watch movies, chit chat, and spend sometime laughing. Now though, the Mr. suggested we have a joint weekend get together and we're heading down south for a nice weekend of fishing and spending time with close friends.
I think movies would be great, cute games are a fun way to learn a few things you didn't know, maybe some karaoke would be fun, and if it's affordable...massages, manis/pedis are great as well!
I went to a bachelorette party once where we watched a bunch of movies like Muriel's Wedding. I think there was a dinner party involved, too...
For a bridal shower/bachelorette party I helped plan, we bought this "pin the bow-tie on the bachelor" game, where, obviously, it's this poster of a half-naked guy in a very seductive pose, and you blindfold people as they tape on little bow ties. We scanned a pic of the groom-to-be making a kissy face, and stuck it on the poster's face, which everyone thought was hilarious. Not sure if this would be too crude for your friend, but we had fun!
we just did a "tame" party for a friend at church. We went out to dinner. Came back to the house and divided into teams and made toilet paper lingeri. It was hilarious! Then we had girl talk and played a few board games.
One of my bridesmaids is my little sister. So, we had a tame bachelorette so that she could be included. We started out at a pottery painting place. I thought it was going to be lame, but it turned out to be a blast. I have the artistic abilities of a Kindergartener so there was a lot of laughs! Then we went to a Hibachi restaurant. FUN. Then later that night we went back to my friend/bridesmaid's and had desserts and wine (optional... not stressed). It was so great to have a low-key time with my girls.
I like the spa idea, you could do a spa-night sleep over, you'd get a lot of cute pictures with facemasks and cucumbers.
Maybe hire a personal chef for a night to do a cooking class too? (if shes into cooking) Or a psychic? or any sort of instructor that appeals to her tastes
I just got back from my bachelorette party, which was this weekend. I am not a squeamish person, BUT my sister is my maid of honor and I was really stressed out about having that kind of talk around her. My friends knew this and really toned it down, which was great. Here's something that you could do to make it extra fun and still keep it PG rated. My friends did the questions thing, but they videotaped my fiance answering the questions and then we played the tape during the party. It was a total surprise to me, and really, really fun. So this way the focus isn't really on the dirty questions, but more on laughing at the differences and watching us both think hard about the answers.
Slumber party, yay! No penis cake if it will make her squirm. Sorry, but I do NOT believe that you should be making the bride feel uncomfortable when she's stressed already. Help her unwind, yes (I love the idea of massages! You could even give each other massages, try out hairstyles, paint each others' nails, etc.) but please don't intentionally make her squirm!

@mechiebaby: That's tamer than "Pin the Dick on the Crotch", at least!
MJ, I would love to share with you about mine, because I think it's exactly the kind of thing you're looking for ... may have to PM you later.
I was underage when I was my sister's MOH and we did a weekend at a friend's waterfront house with margaritas, but the main activity was a scrapbooking party. Everyone was asked in advance to bring photos of them and my sister over the years and we all contributed a page. (Not exactly adventurous, but we added the risque factor with our lingerie theme.)

My maids thew me an awesome party two weekends ago. We went to the beach and basically just had a great girls weekend. The highlight though was when each of my friends stood up and pulled out a scrapbook page they put together of memories that the two of us shared. Then they pulled together a quiz of a bunch of random questions that I had to answer about each maid - and I had to guess who was who. It was a great and special night - so don't worry, you can definitely throw a non-alcoholic all ages appropriate bachelorette party!

I wouldn't do a peenie cake, maybe you could do one with a cute Panty motif if you will be giving her lingerie. Still sassy, but without the male anatomy. :) Or a tree with their initials... something romantic.
For drinks, try punch! I have a good recipe for one that has raspberry sherbert in it, it is really yummy! You could also do a mock champagne punch- white grape juice and gingerale.

I agree with taffy, I don't think a peenie cake would be a good idea. Wait, is her mom and sister going to be at this too? If so, definitely no peenie cake ;)
I love the idea of slumber party with lots of chick flicks/bride movies. And no peenie cake!
Don't know if you're still looking for ideas, but I have a friend who sounds exactly like yours. She was actually PETRIFIED of her bachelorette party cause she was scared that her BM's would plan something R-rated for her! Instead, they planned a scavenger hunt for her that took her all over her (small) hometown. They chose places that were meaningful to their friendships with her (ie. where we used to get ice cream after school in jr. high, etc.) and places that were meaningful to her and her FI. One BM went ahead and got all the necessary store clerks, etc. involved, which was awesome. It turned out really great, and the bride felt really special and reminded of a lot of great times in her life. Afterwards, they had chocolate fondue. Just though I'd offer this suggestion...
Here is that punch recipe:
http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Fruity-Sherbet-Punch/Detail.aspx
I used raspberry sherbet instead of orange.
my bridesmaids took me out and did a scavenger hunt, which wasn't really my favorite thing. But aftewards we came back had goodies, opened my gifts and we watched 3 wedding chick flicks! awesome.
LOVE the scrapbook idea!
The mani-pedi idea sounds great, too. I want to go to one right now!
How about a hen party brunch or luncheon? No need to drink anything stronger than mimosas.
A public venue keeps everything PG instead of R.
I, too, find off-color remarks and even lingerie things distasteful for a wedding event. (I LOVE hanging out and going dancing with gay guys so I'm not a prude.) I'm not religious - I just think wedding and pre-wedding events are not the place for such things.
I am by no means religious (spiritul, but not religious). I drink, I swear, and I hate the usual R & X rated bach. parties. I LOVE the idea of having an at-home party with a personal chef and/or manis & pedis. After marriage, the opportunities to do a girls slumber party are quite rare, so she might really enjoy this. I don't think lingerie would offend her if the gifts were opened at a private home and not in public.
I sound a lot like your friend. I already told my MOH that I don't want any of the typical b-party stuff...and I am scared she won't listen.
From that perspective then, I would ask you to just be entirely sure about the cake. I agree it can be fun to make friends squirm, but just be sure if you want to make her feel like that in relation to wedding festivities. I think I will be upset if my MOH doesn't respect my comfort level and has something that I truely do not care for.
That said, you know your friend way better than I do of course, so if you think it's a risk she would enjoy, go for it. I am thinking that I want to go to a fondue restaurant for my dinner and then maybe to a jazz or comedy club. I still want the bachelorette sash, tiara, etc, just not with male genitalia.
Additionally, I think it's worth noting that I am all for the lingerie portion of the evening, so long as they're a little more classy and a little less trashy...so that the lingerie is still more of my style. But of course I want something pretty to wear for the husband once we're married!
You're a great friend for being so considerate of what she wants and what she'll enjoy! I am sure whatever you do will be great.

Hi ladies, I would love your advice:
A friend of mine's getting married in March. her bridesmaids are her mom (MOH) and her sister (12 years old). (Just two people in the bridal party). Having attended a few of our friends bachelorette parties (which included barhopping, dirty toys and nasty jokes), she is a little worried about her own.
A little background on her:
She's a good Christian woman with extremely respectable morals. She doesn't drink, doesn't swear, and generally does not enjoy circumstances when these kinds of things are going on. She asked me to plan her bachelorette because I'm one of her oldest friends and I know what kinds of things make her uncomfortable (even though I occasionally enjoy those kinds of things myself
). She does like to have a little fun, and isn't afraid to go slightly out of her comfort zone.
So questions:
What can I do for this party? I want to make it a little less tame than her bridal showers will be, but I don't want to make her uncomfortable either - I want her to have a blast. So here's a few things I'm thinking so far:
I'll probably make a peenie cake. This is the kind of thing that'll make her squirm, but it's cake so it's not like I'm making her wear it in public or anything. We'll be among friends, and we'll be eating it. ;)
I'll interview her FI with questions about himself, then quiz her to see if she can guess his answers. I'll do the same for him (like ask him what her favorite movie is, favorite food, etc) so we girls can laugh about what he said about her.
I'll ask each attendee to bring a piece of lingerie for her to wear on the wedding night and beyond. This is a little dirty but not so bad, I think.
Any other suggestions? Have you been to a bachelorette party that was more "slumber party" style?
