Bachelorette Party Fail - Should i even bother?

Shelby, on September 1, 2019 at 5:55 PM Posted in Parties and Events 0 4
So over the last few months leading up to my wedding, I’ve had a whole lot thrown my way that I wasn’t expecting. My dad nearly died, I had a friend actually pass away, I had a BM drop out, my FH is most likely having a GM drop out, we had a last minute catering-switch less than 2 months prior, and my FH and I had to move three months before the wedding due to emergency circumstances. I’ve lost over a month of wedding planning and now my MOH just told me she won’t be able to make it to my bachelorette party due to an ongoing medical emergency, which is totally fine and I understand. But two of my other BMs most likely can’t make it and I believe only 2-3 other people have said they can make it. Due to moving, I’ve also had to scale my plans WAY back due to having a smaller budget than I had originally anticipated. I just feel like since the move, the whole “bachelorette” thing is a total fail and just falling apart and I don’t know that I even want to deal with having one at this point. I feel like it won’t be fun for me with all of the stress surrounding it. Having a lame bachelorette is not really the tone I want to set right before my wedding either. Should I just put up, shut up, and go out or give up on it?

    I'm so sorry you've had to go through so much! I would honestly take time to heal and not do a bachelorette Smiley heart

    It sounds like too much all at once. If you're not up for a bachelorette, just try getting together with a few friends and enjoy a cocktail night in. More relaxing and way less stress. The big parties will come and go, but those intimate gatherings can be even more meaningful if the right people are there.

    I agree. An intimate night in with the girls who can make it sounds like a good compromise. Sounds like you could use a break, and some time to recoup! I threw a night-in bachelorette party for a friend years ago, and we had a blast!

    Agreed! Get together with those few who can make it and scale everything way back. It will feel appropriate with your smaller size group and my guess is that it will be an enjoyable distraction from all the stress in your life.
