Bachelorette party, and I'm nervous.

Julia Beth, on June 3, 2014 at 8:43 AM Posted in Community Conversations 0 8

My bachelorette party is this weekend. I have no idea what is planned, everything is top secret because my MOH is insisting it be that way. She finally caved once my other BMs convinced her that she should at least tell me the date, so I do know it's this weekend, but that's all.

And I'm nervous and I'm also not really excited. I don't know what to be excited for, and no one is even talking to me about this weekend, so there is no sense of anticipation. I'm a little nervous that after all this hoopla about a surprise, I might not even enjoy where we go/what we do. A few weeks ago I was out to dinner with one of my BMs and she commented that my bachelorette party is "no big thing." Then why all the fuss about a surprise??

I'd be VERY happy with a low key weekend/night but if it's going to be low key, then don't build it up with this surprise business.

I'm just bummed because I should be excited for my own bachelorette party, right!

    Just be excited and look forward to having a great weekend with the girls you love most! And, you should be excited that these girls love you enough to throw you a party and are so excited about it they've kept it a surprise. It seems to me they feel like they've planned the perfect weekend they see fit for you so just be happy and excited a group of gals know you well enough to plan it! It'll be great no matter what it is, I'm sure.

    Uh, infiltrate the bridesmaids circle, and get someone to tell you more about what's going on, and explain it them just like you did to us. That it's ruining part of the experience for you. What are you most afraid of? That it's an inappropriate party (strippers, etc.) or that you just don't think the activities (appropriate ones) won't be something you'd enjoy?

    I HATE surprises also, so this would drive me up the damn wall.

    Mine is being kept a surprise as well as my bridal shower. I know my shower is July 19th and my bachelorette party is August 9th and that's all I know. I don't even know what time to show up or what to wear. It's making me crazy!

    You know, my MOH/BM's wanted to do the same thing for me, keep it all a surprise, but I was given two key pieces of information: what to wear and what date/when to show up. I was also reassured numerous times by one of my BM (who knows that I CANNOT STAND SURPRISES) that the night wouldn't be anything I'd be uncomfortable with.

    That's just my experience that made the whole situation better for me.

    What's weird is that I usually do like surprises, but for some reason this is throwing me off. I trust that it won't be inappropriate (my one actual requirement was no strippers). I'm not exactly sure WHY I'm nervous, I just wish I had more information or that my bridesmaids were at least talking about it with me/being excited with me. It's like radio silence on the whole thing. The only two things I've been told are that it's "no big thing" and that it has to be some big super secret surprise.

    @Sarah-- I know, and I really am so grateful that they are doing this at all! It just feels like what I want doesn't matter. I begged my MOH for information and she flat out refused.

    @rusticbride--I have talked to one of my bridesmaids, who AT LEAST gave me an idea of what to bring/pack. I don't want to ruin the surprise that seems to be such a big deal to my MOH, but it's frustrating that she refuses to listen to reason when me when I say I would enjoy it more if I had at least some more info.

    Don't stress! Trust your best friends to give you an amazing night out. I'm sure everything will go great and you'll love it. I had the best time at my bachelorette party, so I'm sure you will too.

    Well, the best I can tell is that it's this weekend. If you knew now, it'd be kind of pointless. If they've at least listened to your requirement of no strippers, then I guess that's enough to go on so that you can trust the event will be something you'd enjoy.

    Even if it's not your cup of tea, you'll be with friends. Being with your friends on an occasion like a Bachelorette Party tends to be fun no matter how you choose to celebrate it.

    Oh girl. I know this pain. I am in the dark about everything about my shower (minus location and date), and it is driving me nuts. It's making me anxious, and I don't like it at all. I've been told (jokingly) that I can give opinions and suggestions, but it doesn't mean they'll be taken into consideration.

    I am a control freak, and it absolutely kills me to know nothing. My nerves are shot. WOOF!
