Combined Co-ed Bachelor Bachelorette Party

So not planning on changing my mind or anything, just interested in seeing what everyone has to say...

My fiancé and I have decided to have a combined co-ed bachelor/bachelorette party. We’re inviting everyone in our bridal party and their significant others. We’re renting out a private room at Dave & Buster’s with food and games. (I should say that no, my fiancé and I are NOT paying for any portion of it.)


Personally, I think it’ll be a lot of funny especially because our bridal party doesn’t really know each other. What does everyone think?

    If you and your fh planned it, my opinion is you two should be paying for it.

    I think it sounds wonderful. I think the idea is great, it will give people time to get to know each other and fun will be had by all. Enjoy!

    My Maid of Honor and I planned it because we had several issues with my fiancé’s Best Man backing out of the wedding so I didn’t want to place a burden on the guy he asked to take his old Best Man’s place.

    Lots of things could be said, but since you're not planning on changing your mind I'm not sure the point.

    We’re thinking of doing something like this too. My fiancé and myself aren’t huge on partying so we thought about combining our parties too. My MOH and his BM plan to rent out a karaoke room and do dinner at the restaurant.

    It's your party, if that's what you want then go for it. What works for some doesn't work for others. Don't worry about what others have to say!

    My fiancé’s original best man dropped out of the wedding, so we had to ask another guy to step up and take the original guy’s place. I didn’t want to add a bunch of extra stress on him at the last minute.

    And my maid of honor is doing all the inviting. I’m not sure why some things get taken so seriously.

    I wanted to see if other people had done this or were planning to do this. Not sure why you felt the need to comment if you didn’t have anything to say.

    Never said she couldn’t post, just said not sure why she did.

    We did the same. Our MOH & BM know we're pretty laid back and didnt want to go bar hopping, so they invited all our friends over for a bonfire and drinks. We went to the strip club after. We had a blast! All our friends stayed all night which was surprising. It worked well for us.

    But..but..I said good luck! So much for offering kind wishes around here. Man, no wonder it's hard to be nice to people. You professionals sure do know best.

    A friend wanted a joint bachelor party so that’s what we did. Pretty low key, but fun. We did mini golf, go karts, and bumper boats followed by a hike and bonfire. Do what makes you happy.

    I’m not planning my own bachelorette party. My maid of honor is doing the planning. Pretty sure I stated that earlier.

    Sounds fun. I'm not a fan of Dave and Busters, but I've been to several co-ed bach parties with different kinds of activities, barhopping, games, music... I'm always a bit curious about the tendency to have these single-sex parties around weddings.

    Honestly, knowing my fiance’s one brother, I knew he’d take them all to a strip club and I’m just not cool with that. I thought everyone would have more fun with something relaxed and the opportunity to get to know everyone.

    I love this idea!!! I didn't know people actually did this, but thanks for sharing. I may talk to my MOH about this and see if she can talk to FH BM about something like this.
