Anyone do a Bachelorette Party after the wedding??

Patricia-Ann , on June 13, 2018 at 5:19 PM Posted in Parties and Events 0 26
Has anyone done a bachelorette party after the wedding? Timing is tight and no one is taking lead and I don’t realky have time to plan so was thinking might be easier to do a month or so after the wedding? Thoughts?

    No, because you're not a bachelorette after you're married. If no one has stepped up to plan one for you, then you just don't get one, unfortunately. You don't plan a party in your own honor.

    Anything after the wedding is just ladies' night out.

    You will no longer be a bachelor or bachelorette so no I’ve never heard of this. You also don’t plan your own.

    my husband never got a bachelor party. It’s not required

    You aren't a bachelorette after the wedding. After the wedding it would just be a girls night out to celebrate you being newly married...or since no one is taking the lead and you shouldn't be planning your own bachelorette party, maybe consider just skipping it. Personally, I think it's a dumb tradition and it's just one more thing people have to shell out money for a wedding as a guest/bridesmaid/family member, so I'm not doing one and have requested to not be thrown one.

    I think that would be a bit silly.

    If timing is tight either skip it OR maybe just have a girls night out shortly after you are married with some of your close friends.

    Definitely don’t plan a bachelorette after your wedding. I know it’s tough because you want one but if someone hasn’t volunteered to plan it you’ll have to do without. Are you having a shower? After my shower we are going out to dinner/bar hopping, I’m not calling it a bachelorette as I’m having an actual bachelorette a few weeks later but if you’re just really wanting to go out maybe you could suggest something like that. I’d just be careful to not make it seem like your planning your own bachelorette.

    Yes, suppose couldn’t call it a bachelorette party. Might sound silly to some, but I was looking forward to nice relaxing time with my gals. Not interested in going out to bars or fancy restaurants. And have a lot of changes to the wedding lately so I was looking forward to this. Suppose I will see what pans out. Thanks for the input

    Having a bachelorette party after the wedding would be like having your baby shower when your kid is 1 or having a 30th birthday party when you're 31.

    I'd talk to your girls about it! If your wedding is in September, you could for sure plan one in the short time you have (hopefully you'd have lots of help from MOH & Bridesmaids). But you could totally plan one after your wedding too more of a "girls day" if you wanted!

    I say GO FOR IT! I don't see a problem in wanting to have fun with your friends to celebrate getting married before or after it happens. Just because it's not normally how it is done doesn't mean it is wrong.

    You won't be a bachelorette anymore so you wouldn't label it as such. If you want to have a get together then it would just be a ladies' night out.

    I suspect there aren't any real plans because you have months until your wedding.

    I agree with this!

    Sorry, OP - you will be married after the wedding so you are not a bachelorette anymore.

    I think that would be a bit strange since you aren’t a bachelorette but a wife at that point.

    Don't call it a bachelorrete. Just call it a girls hangout. Will sound better.
    I do understand you want to experience every process it's just unfortunate your friends are not throwing you one and you don't have the finances to do that yourself (I don't agree with the notion of not throwing your own bachelorette).
