Your opinions on bachelor/bachelorette parties?

One of the most fun bachelorette parties I have ever been to was a sleepover! We had fabulous food and watched old movies and just had lots of girl time. If you want to make it little more raunchy, you can have a sex toy lady come (just like a tupperware party, but with sex stuff!) Your husband should tell his friends no strippers. Other than that, he can go to bars if he wants, or go bowling, or go to a sporting event.

No I think you are smart. I never understood how you decide to marry someone , and then its off to the strip club. If you don't want your fiancee doing that then you should tell him. The party's should be about celebrating your marriage with your friends and nothing more.

My husband and I discussed it first. I can be called a prude too, because I made it clear that I wouldn't like to find out if there was any strippers there or hanky panky. You can always get all of your friends together, they can pitch in, males and females and get a large banquet hall, and have a before the wedding blowout to kiss your single lives goodbye. It will also give all the people a chance to meet before the wedding and they will feel more comfortable on the day of your wedding. Or just do what you mentioned, that sounds awesome to me, like the scene in Waiting to exhale. It's your celebration so it should be how you want it, who cares what they want, you are the bride! Have a good time.

I think it's fine to for the bride and groom to each have their separate party. Just b/c you don't like it, doesn't mean you have the right to look down on those that do. I don't like strippers, but let others do as they please. If you don't like it, do something different. But, looking down on others does not make you an better of a person. If you can't trust your hubby at his bachelor party, you can't trust him anywhere. The strippers at those parties just want the money, they don't want to hook up with your hubby. So, they won't be hanging all over him. He's more likely to cheat on you, with less people around. Why do it at a bachelor party where there are people around. See what I'm saying.

I told my bridesmaids, "No strippers!" I think they are gross. My bridesmaids ignored me and we went to a male review anyway. I ended up having sooooo much fun. The strippers were so over the top that we just laughed and drank all night. To balance the night out we had nice dinner at a restaurant and went to a nightclub too. To be honest, the strip club was the most memorable part of the night because it was so funny and wild. Of course you should do whatever you want for your party, but if they plan a more traditional bachelorette party for you, then try to keep a open mind about it. It might be fun.

Neither one of us wanted the parties. In fact, he told me first that he didn't want one. We decided to have our friends meet us for a nice dinner at our favorite little restaurant. We had a blast!

i'm throwing two bachelorette parties in the near future: one in vegas, to lay by the pool and maybe take in a show (non-stripper, per bride's request) second: we're going to have an overnighter at a spa and get massages (and probably more laying by a pool)

I am not into that stuff either. Fortunately I have a great MOH. I told her what i DIDN'T want and she made sure it won't happen. The other girls were pressureing her to do the stripper/club thing but she made sure to stick to my wishes. Bless her. We are going out to a commedy club and then to a hotel for a girls night in where we can drink without the worry of driving.

i completely agree with you. i never understood, why people feel compelled to go crazy with strippers and such because they are getting married. i've always felt that if a someone says they want one last "free" night, they might not be ready for marriage.u are suppose to marry someone, because u found the right person, n u don't want to be with anyone else. my husband & i didn't have any parties, just a nice bbq with friends. don't feel pressured into something, that you maybe will always wonder what happened...
