Anyone else having a bachelorette party the night before their wedding?

We aren't. I'd prefer a week or so before. I don't want to feel like shit, or my WP and friends to be hungover. It wouldn't make for a fun reception.

Hopefully nobody has a hangover. We thought about it (we haven't had one) but we are too worried about people thinking, "I'll be fine, I can have just one more" (5 later) And feeling like garbage the next day.

We are not having ours that close. We are doing the bachelor and bachelorette parties on the same day as my bridal shower! It will be just one big fun filled day! My shower is August 5th and we get married September 16th. I would think having them the night before the wedding would be exhausting. Especially if you're having a rehearsal dinner or something along those lines.

Ours will be a few days before. FH and I like to get loose and drink it up. I do not want a hang over of any kind the day of. As long as you know your limit and dont over do it, you should be fine though. I know alot of people that had theirs the night before and everything was fine.

I don't recommend this. I attended a wedding where the parties were the day before and the bride and groom was trashed. The bride actually wasn't very pretty, She didnt have that bridal glow. You could very clearly tell she was seriously hung over. The whole bridal party looked like they had been at a college party the night before. It was very messy and very obvious. During pictures the bride actually fell because she was still tipsy.

&& I'll say these people normally don't party-hardy. Guess they just wanted one last hoo-raa before the "i dos" and ended up getting wasted.

ETA: We had ours a few weeks ago. It worked with everyone schedules. Best Man does have a night of camping planned for my fiance this month tho. I plan on going to the spa that day.

We did, also because everyone lived in different states. My MOH planned activities during the day (bagels at our favorite bagel place in college, an escape room, and afternoon tea at a Victorian tea house), and then we took a break to go get ready for the rehearsal and RD. In the evening, we all hung out in the bridal suite, painted wine glasses, and ate a lot of cheese and chocolate while drinking sparkling cider/champagne (some of my BMs didn't drink, were pregnant, were breastfeeding).

I think the guys had a slightly wilder night, but I'm not entirely clear on their timeline of events.

It was fun just getting to spend time with my best friends all weekend, and it really didn't matter what we were doing.

It sounds like a poor idea. The night before your wedding is a really good night to celebrate with your family, your soon to be spouse, and calm down for your wedding. It's not the night to go get drunk with your friends.

Depending on what you do, I felt awful the entire day after my bachelorette party (lol). But even if I wasn't just drinking, I wouldn't want to. Our rehearsal dinner is going to be a bonfire because I don't want to get dressed up. I just want to relax and chill before a very big and long day.

My parents didn't do their parties this close to the wedding, but my dad's cousin did take him out drinking the night before until 6am. You can tell his eyes are bloodshot in some pictures bc he was so tired lol.

^^what OG Alecia said. Mine is 2 weeks before the wedding. I want to get plenty of rest the night before my wedding... And get up early in the morning and go for a run to calm my nerves.

Doesn't sound like a good idea but I guess it depends on how hard you're going to party. Maybe 2 days before the wedding if that's feasible?

I'm having mine the Thursday before my sat wedding. All my girls live all over the country.

Is there ANY way you guys could do this 2 nights before the wedding? If you're wedding is on a Saturday maybe you could do these on a Thursday night? It's very gracious if you guys to try and accommodate your bridal party but the night before your wedding is risky IMO. They would just have to fly in 1 day earlier and cost of flights might even be cheaper.

If you have alcohol involved then no!

Depending on what you are having it could be a great idea. My Party will be the night before the wedding due to everyone being from around the U.S.A and one of my Bridesmaids is coming from the U.K. We had gone to collage together and its special. However, its more of a girls night in then a girls night out. Also no one will be getting wasted since their will be a limited number of mixed drinks. If you were planning to go out bar hopping or having a huge party where their is a chance for everyone including yourself to get drunk to the point you would have a hang over it should not be done the day before.

Absolutely not...my hangovers have gotten so much worse with age! My bridal party is also all over the country, but we're going to do a shower/bachelorette combo a few months before I think.

I wouldn't do this, unless you plan on doing something really low key and ending early. Like maybe a spa day, dinner, and call it a night. Same for your FH.

Ours was 2 days before but we did disneyland together and separate dinners.. only one groomsmen drank a TON

I thought about it but i think we just going to celebrate july 4 weekend

I am having a Friday wedding so I guess that is why I was putting it out there.
