Bach party!

Emly, on March 6, 2020 at 11:33 AM Posted in Parties and Events 0 4

So I need some advice..

I am the bride and my MOH is starting to plan the bach party, I told her I would help plan it since she seemed a little lost and she just wanted to make sure its what I wanted. Any way originally when the idea of a bachelorette party came up I said I just want something low key maybe a paint and sip or something. Well now a little while later I have decided I'd like to get the full party experience, go out on the town, be obnoxious and just have a good time LOL. MOH and I are super excited about this and can't wait to work out the details! There's just two problems...

1) One of my bridesmaids is my FSIL and shes (to put it nicely) a bit controlling and when she doesn't get her way she throws a fit.. I guess a while back she already started to plan a party for me without talking to anyone else about it (she still hasn't for that matter) she has t-shirts made and everything already from what her mom tells me. Shes still under the impression that I want something low key; that's probably what she would prefer too because shes a loud mouth and in a low key situation she would have a better chance of the attention being on her.. (i like her i swear Smiley xd ) Anyway I just don't know how to break it to her that my MOH is already working on something else.. Should I do it and run the risk of her throwing a fit or should I have FH talk to her and just explain that something else is already being planned (this would probably lead to a less dramatic outcome but i also understand its not really his job) or should MOH do it? Either way I don't think she will be happy that I want to go out on the town but.. girls just wanna have fun, right?? LOL


2) My second dilemma is with my MOH. She lives right down town where we would be going out to that night so we could walk, but we still might need some type of transportation. She suggested that her bf could drive us around.. Now I don't want to sound ungrateful for the offer but I really cannot stand her bf and when they are together he just makes her the worst version of herself she can be.. I would just prefer not to have to be around him on a night thats supposed to be fun. Shes head over heals for this guy and I'm trying to be a good friend and support her relationship and I try to like the guy, but hes just an absolute dink.. As far as she knows I like him, so how do I tell her that I would prefer for him not to be there?? I would love to rent like a party bus or something but its not in the budget for me and I don't want to inflict any cost onto anyone else either.


Ugh sometimes I hate being so sensitive to conflicting situations. Someone tell me what I should doXD

    I would be up front with the FSIL that your MOH is also planning something and think they should both work together and combine ideas and if she is difficult then she can kick rocks. Your day and not about her. Second, I would maybe get an air bnb in the location you want to party and where all guests can walk back to the location so no driving is needed.

    1. I don't think you need to deal with this at all unless your FSIL brings it up to you personally. Your MOH should send a group text to all the bridesmaids and let them know what you want and what she is thinking. It sounds like your FSIL wants to be involved in planning so she should be given a job, but just not main planning. You could always have a separate girls night too if your FSIL really pushed it.

    2. I'd tell her you just want a girls night and you'd rather uber everywhere. If you want a party bus, I'd probably just pay for it yourself since that seems like an extra cost your MOH isn't planning on. Tell her you don't want a strict tentative plan but you want it to be a girl's night so you'll just uber or lyft when you want to go somewhere else.

    As for the FSIL, I would either have your FH talk to her about it and let her know that there are already plans in the making by your MOH. (that's why surprises aren't always the best in a situation like this!) Or, as another suggested, have your MOH group text everybody the plans.

    For the bachelorette night transportation, I also agree with saying you want to keep it as a girls night - which DUH, that's exactly what your bach party should be!
