Bachelor/bachelorette Party confusion

How fun! I've actually heard of little getaways before getting married but never in place of bach/bachelorette weekends. I say do it!

I don't see why not! That could be really fun! If you want to still have a party with your wedding party, you could always do a fun weekend in someone's house and play games, drink etc!

What would differentiate this from a normal vacation? I wouldn't call it a party, but you can surely go by yourselves if you'd like and maybe have a lowkey bachelor/bachelorette party closer to home

I wouldn’t consider it a bachelor/bachelorette party, but you’re not obligated to have one of those parties and if you want to have a vacation that’s fine too!

You can take a vacation to do what you want , just the two of you, any time it is legal. Pushing others to do what they do not want to as a shower or bach celebration is really not polite. If what they are offering is half a day, or an evening , spent with friends, usually with food and drink, that is the most common bachelorette. TV and the wedding and hospitality industry pushing mini vacations is a new thing, and most people either don't have the time or the money to give 3 days and $500-$1000 , and these days, risking their health weighs against it too. Best to stop asking people to give you this kind of bach party, and go on your own or with other friends, not a wedding related party.

Agreed with Shelly! See if your friends would be willing to do a cookout or game night so you can celebrate with them!

You and your FH can go to Nashville any time you want, but I wouldn’t refer to it as a bachelor or bachelorette party.

It’s not weird at all we did a coed bachelor bachelorette party and it was a ton of fun just a handful of people good restaurants barhopping absolutely a blast
