The get together known as the "bachelor party" or "stag party,"
has recently been joined by a female counterpart known as the
bachelorette party.
Like the bachelor party, the bachelorette party has become a
celebration of the end of "being single" and usually includes the
immediate wedding party and very close friends of the bride or
groom. The best man or maid of honor is usually in charge of
coordinating the event.
Be creative when planning your party. A room in a restaurant, a
hotel or a spa suite are popular party locations because they
allow you to fully enjoy yourselves without disturbing other
guests. Bar hopping or nightclubs with comedy or live
entertainment are other popular choices. And while you're out
enjoying the evening, avoid any problems with drinking and driving
by treating yourself to a night out in a limousine or perhaps a
double decker bus.
For a party at home, video movie rentals or comedygrams can
provide fun and memorable entertainment. Wherever your party is
held, you can cater it yourself with prepared party trays and
"just heat and serve" entrees from local specialty stores or
caterers.
The bachelor or bachelorette party sometimes takes the form of a
shower, with the bride or groom receiving small gifts. Lingerie,
gag gifts, or things to use on the honeymoon are popular themes
for this type of party.
Be sure to preserve the evening in pictures. These party pictures
will create an album of laughs that will last long after the
party's over!
This party is best held a week or two before the wedding; not the
night before! That way you won't be putting anything in the way of
your enjoyable wedding day. |
