Bachelor Party

Stacey, on June 12, 2020 at 7:35 PM Posted in Parties and Events 0 6

My fiance's bachelor party is two days prior to our wedding because he didn't want his best man to fly across the country twice. In addition to the groomsmen and groomswoman, one of my bridesmaids will be attending. She is married to one of the groomsmen and it didn't make sense for him to travel the two hours to the bachelor party, drive back home the day after which is when the rehearsal is, pick her up and drive back. It also didn't make sense for them to drive two cars for our wedding because our venue would make them pay for each car since they were staying overnight. My fiance was on the phone with his friends talking about the bachelor party and they might play paintball at the bachelor party. I've heard that it can bruise. I am concerned because I don't want the bridesmaid and groomswoman having visual bruising from playing paintball at the bachelor party. My fiance thinks I'm overreacting because I asked that they don't play a game two days prior to our wedding that could leave bruises. The girls will be in long strapless dresses so it wouldn't matter so much if they were hit in the legs, but if they were hit in the arms the bruises could be very noticeable. Am I wrong for not wanting them to do something that could leave bruising? If they do decide to play even though I have expressed concerns and they end up with bruises, is there a way to cover those up?

    I have also heard that, it can bruise. I understand where you’re coming from because bruises can look quite ugly, but I think he should do what he wants for his bachelor party. Ferma lend us a very thick, super high coverage foundation that people often use to cover tattoo. It should be perfect for covering bruises. If you are getting a makeup artist they should also be very helpful at helping cover things with color corrector and foundation. I would try not to worry about it (easier said than done I’m sure)

    You could tell them if they’re gonna shoot only aim for the legs aha I mean cause it sounds kinda unreasonable to tell them not to play it if that’s what they wanna do

    I think there's a difference between asking and telling. You can bring up the bruising concern - though not as a visual problem, as a health problem - but to tell them not to is just going to cause push back.

    Also, there are lots of makeups that can cover up bruises, also, arnica helps dispel bruises.

    Unless the groomswoman and bridesmaid don't want to play and were just playing to be social (in which case they can do something together while the guys play), I think your best bet is to tell your groom and the other guys you aim low. You can also send them with some of those instant ice packs in case they get hit. Icing right away should reduce the swelling/bruising.
