Combined bachelor bachelorette party

Following! We are considering doing a half and half. The boys will go camping with us girls, then we all do our own thing during the day and just spend evenings together. I want to know if that stuff works out!

I think we might be doing this! Go to dinner separately and then both parties meet up later. My FH absolutely love being together and love having our friends together, so celebrating together at one point in the night is no question

To me it seems like an oxymoron. It's supposed to be your last night out without your significant other, right?

We have known each other and our friends since high school, so it just made sense to do one party with everyone.

I had suggested we do a joint party but my FH and his BM laughed at me and quickly shot the idea down. So did my bridesmaids. We are doing everything separately and no parents are involved.

I think me and my FH will do ours together.We talked about one night we do our own thing then the next night we all come together

I don't think there's anything wrong with it I would do it if we could agree on how to celebrate but we want to do different things and go different places. Also my mom will be going on my bachelorette trip we are very close and MOH made it very clear it's not a party if she's not there lol she's like one of the girls!

We are going to Vegas together, but we will split for the party night. Girls have dinner and a show planned. Idk what the guys are doing yet, but it won't be with us!

Are you planning your own bachelorette?

We have discussed this, but probably won't call it a bachelor/bachelorette party. Our bridal party lives across 7 different states and we don't get to see them enough so with limited time to spend with them all, we figured why split up when they can only be in town a couple days. The ones from California, Texas and Oklahoma really want to experience NYC so we think that is where we will go! We will probably still try to do something small with just the guys and just the girls, but only depending on time. We still have plenty of time to figure it out though.

We're doing this with my family (it's a tradition for us, every attendant brings an item that you not usually give, like a broom or toilet paper, for the couple) and with a group of mutual friends at my in-law's and in both we'll be having a BBQ... we already know this because my cousin and my FSIL already gave us a heads up (both already have a date set up)

My FH husband and I are doing separate things with our respective parties, and then meeting up for drinks at the end of the night. We have so many mutal friends at this point, it really didn't make sense for us to spend the whole night apart.

We are both going to Vegas the same weekend and will be doing our own things. But we are planning to get together as a group for dinner on the last night. No parents are coming.

I was in a wedding that did this, especially because the wedding party in included a bridesman and groomslady. We did dinner separately, then met up for a scavenger hunt of cute things to do at a few nice bars. (Have the bartender play you song, ask a married couple for advice, etc)

My highschool friend had a joint bachelor/bachelorette for his wedding in Amsterdam. A bunch of friends on both sides went out to dinner and end the night in the Red Light District. It was like another Saturday night out with good friend but in Amsterdam.

My FH and i have been together for 8 years now, and we will NOT be doing a combined Bach/ Bachelorette party. We didnt find it necessary. We will be doing it the same night, but will not be meeting up. I have a girl in my BP who insists we all meet up at the end of the night (her husband is a GM) we said no, and that its supposed to be your last night without each other! Just a personal preference

FH and I are having our parties on the same night, but he's going to be up in Milwaukee while I stay down here in the Chicago burbs. I don't like the idea of combining the two... not because I subscribe to that idea that it's your "last night free" or whatever, but because it's time to spend with your closest friends and cherish time with them.

I'm sure this could be fine depending on your crowd..but wasn't for us. My DH and his boys went on a cruise for his bachelor party. They met up with a joint bachelor/bachelorette party while there, and it was a total disaster.The boys acted like boys do on a bachelor party and the girls were less than impressed with them, causing lots of drama and fighting. In fact, after it was all said and done, DH and one of his buddies shared with me that they would be genuinely surprised if those peoples wedding actually happened following the whole debacle because it was THAT bad....but if yall are doing a single night event in town, I cant imagine it would go poorly, but would also feel like any other night out with your friends.

I have seen some really awesome bonfires. It was just hanging out and drinking and having a great time by the fire. Nothing fancy but just a good time.

I've brought this idea up with FH. I really like the idea, but if he's not into it I won't pressure him. It's a night for him to be with his friends so I will not be hurt if he says he would rather it just be the guys.
