Bachelorette Party

So I have thought about my bachlorette party. I ultimately know I dont want strippers, but like it doesn't have to be boring. I want my mom FMIL and some close friends and family there. My mom mentioned that I dont want my FMIL to be there but its supposed to be a fun party with my closest girlfriends and female family members. So I don't see why I can't have my mom and FMIL there. My grandmother has graciously accepted hosting the part since she has a pool and I wanted like a Mexican Luau theme. My grandmother is literally 65 and can get down with the best of us but...im having second thoughts.


Do I really want my mother and FMIL there? Do I want my grandmothers' there? Should I ask my bridesmaid/Future sister-in-law to host instead even though I already asked my grandmother to host (use her house)?

    Do what you want, there aren’t any rules. I’ve never heard of mothers and grandmothers attending a bachelorette party. It’s super weird to me, I would feel like you can’t really let loose and have fun. That’s just me.

    Aj lol I really don't let lose, but like I enjoy hanging out with them, but maybe I should just keep it for girlfriends and the bridal party.

    We are having a family friendly thing together. It is the bridal party, the groom's party, and us all together (6 in total). We are doing dinner for sure, and possibly an escape room. My oldest a junior bridesmaid so we wanted her to be included in an outing with us.

    It’s your party so you do what you want! Lol. I don’t let lose either haha, but I still wouldn’t want my mom or FMIL anywhere near my bachelorette party haha. I love them and all but I dunno, it’s rare I get all my friends in one place so I’d rather spend quality time with them! But if you want your family there go for it!

    Don't ask anyone who hasn't offered to host. That's asking them to open their home and wallet to throw a party in your honor.


    I'd just call it a bridal BBQ and have a fun pool party with whoever you want invited

    Agree with Willow. You shouldn't ask people to host parties in your honour. If your Grandma agrees, why not just host a get together?

    Well since my maid of honor is a flight attendant and doesn't have a home I assumed the next best thing was to ask a family member hence my grandmother, who has ample room and space to host, as in use her home as the place of origin for the party, not selfishly ask her to have a whole party in my honor and dole out whatever amount of money would suffice my needs.

    Maybe I should have said "I asked my Grandma to graciously open her home so that I can have my nearest and dearest around me during my bachelorette party in a comfortable and familiar setting." Host was agreeably not the right word but to save a little head space that's what I went with to keep things simple but did not literally mean it by it definition.

    Yes you can and should invite them if you want them there! I've been to a bachelorette where the mother and MIL were invited, as well as a sister-in-law, who was a minor at the time. We took a limo to a murder mystery dinner and had a BLAST. My honest favorite person to hang out with that night was the MIL because she was SO much fun. So definitely invite who you want there!

    Depends on your family. My mother did shots right along with us at mine. However, if you already invited them, it would be wierd to uninvite them
