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

I honestly thought that was typical until I came to WW

We did our bachelor/bachelorette parties the day before our wedding and it went okay. Everyone made it to the chapel on time, sober and ready to go. It's a "know your crowd" thing IMHO. We had a lot more day events and had a late wedding with small wedding parties, so everyone had plenty of time to sleep in. If you think people are going to get too crazy, I would try to do it early if you can.

I am! Same reason,And I can't wait!! This Thursday 7/6 and I'm getting married Friday!!!

If you don't plan on getting drunk or staying out late then sure. Otherwise you are putting everyone at risk for a rough, hungover wedding day. I would want everyone to be feeling 100% on my wedding day so we can all enjoy the great day that we have put so much time, effort, and $$$ into, but that's just me.

No way would I do that! I think that's a recipe for disaster!!

When my aunt and uncle got married... decades ago... my uncle had his bachelor party the night before the wedding, for the same reason as you all. He was so hung over on the wedding day that my grandfather, who was a doctor, had to give him B12 injections so he could make it down the aisle.

For me personally, I would make it a spa day or a night at vineyard instead of a night out at a bar. Late nights are obvious on your face -- your skin won't be glowy, you'll have bags under your eyes, you or your girls might be hungover (sick/headaches) which would really ruin your wedding day. I would be even more concerned about the guys and about your FH looking and feeling his best. My FH went to a buddy's bachelor party and his friend jumped on his back for a piggyback ride, knocking my FH face-first to the sidewalk. He had a nasty scrape on his face that still hadn't fully healed by the time their wedding happened 2 weeks later and had to be in all the bridal party pictures. Imagine if something like that happens!!

Yes! But we are doing a girls night in slumber party! With a pure romance party, snacks, light drinking, and chickflicks!

Yea, I don't have an option to do it earlier. If you look at the OP, everyone is in different parts of the country so the night before is the only chance for the shindig. Thanks for all of your opinions but I guess people don't do it like they used to. Happy planning!

Nope. Absolutely not

Well I am in a bp, and we are having it the night before after the rehearsal dinner! We are making custom perfume and drinking "a little bit" of wine. It'll be done by like 9:30pm. The reason we did this was so that all the bridal party ladies could participate.

I am skipping a bachelorette party and instead having a couples thing (renting a pub cycle), however my FH is having the "bachelor party" the night before due to his groomsmen all being from out of town. Really, all it will be is a few guy friends going out for a beer or two, my FH isn't big on heavy drinking/partying.

Were doing our the week before. Hopefully, nobody is too hungover. Good luck

This seems like a really bad idea! A night of drinking causes baggy eyes, congestion, mild edema, headaches, not to mention the chances of being hungover and useless.

My party is all over the country, we're still meeting 2 months before. If you absolutely cannot get together, do something more lowkey, like a day at the spa or a pool day with your friends... little alcohol and an early bedtime.

Mine will be two weeks before my wedding.

This may be one of those events you just can't have.

I went to one when I was a BM right out of college. Almost everyone was hung over, and OMG the bags under peoples eyes. Even touching up the wedding photos didn't help the bride. The wedding was at 1 pm and tbh, everyone was the worse for wear - myself included.

The night before you really want to try and get a good night sleep (HAHA like that is going to happen because of nerves, right???) and not get tanked. Unless you don't drink and are planning to get your partying on earlier in the evening, then I say go for it.

Hell no! We like to party and it would be a disaster!

I personally wouldn't want to do this, even if you aren't going to be drinking a lot. The night before I plan on going to bed early if I can and just relaxing so I'm able to feel well rested and ready for my wedding day! But if that's the only day you can all get together, maybe have a more low key night? Spa treatments or a slumber party with movies?

I'm glad you asked this because I was concerned. My whole bridal party lives out of state and so does majority of my close friends. My bachelorette party will be the night before my wedding. I'm hoping it works out as I don't plan to be out too late and I don't get trashed.

Personally, I would not have a full-blown, drinks in hand, party at the club bach the night before my wedding. But, something low key would be fine.

All of my girls live in different states. We are traveling for my shower and will have the bach that night. Not all my BM will make it. A little bit of a bummer, but it's totally ok.

Second PPs about doing it 2 nights before the wedding.

I'm abstaining from alcohol a month before the big day so I'm doing it a month and three days before...I'm a gigantic lightweight and almost died at my cousins bachelorette party. I would be sure to take it easy and hydrate!!
