Going to bachelorette party as a married woman?

Not awkward at all! Bachelorette party is to celebrate the singledom of the bride, not the other girls

I don't really see why it would make a difference. Just go and support your friend and have a fun night out with the girls. I don't think I would act differently while out as an engaged versus married woman, so doesn't seem to make a difference.

I am the last of my group of friends/family to get married and all my married friends and family are excited about the bachelorette party! It's just another reason for a girls night or weekend fun! Enjoy it!

Why would that be awkward?

I don't think it would be awkward at all. You are going to have a girls night out doesn't seem any different to me. Go out have fun

I guess I was wondering if it felt awkward because when I think of a bachelorette party, I think of really rowdy parties involving strippers and all..not just simply a "girls night out"

If those rowdy parties with strippers were ok with you and your fiancé when you were engaged then, again, I don't see a difference when you are married. But most bachelorette parties aren't actually like that- I have been to 5 in the last few years and absolutely none of them had strippers, just a lot of alcohol and a few penis cakes...

I have been to a good number of bachlorette parties some with strippers some without. I guess just for me and FH it doesn't matter he knows that before him and I even started dating I've seen strippers and just thru my friend a 30th bday party with strippers so for me its not a huge deal.

Unless there is a naked guy sitting on your lap, it should be fine.

Oh don't be silly. the bachelor and bachalorete parities are a tradition and IMO it's all just a show anyway.

my now hubby has attended stuff like that and as long as it was in a public place* and there's a designated driver I didn't care at all.

*reason why I say public place is because the private parties with a dancer are changing to where often the groom gets 'roughed up' by someone who is not properly trained for things along that line- many dancers won't do the parties any more for that reason. so common sense must be applied.

Not weird in the slightest. Last bach I went to, there were three singles (including the bride) and two married (including me). I certainly didn't notice anything-- except that I don't drink, and that's what most bach parties revolve around.

I'm obviously not married yet but plenty of my friends are, and they still go to bachelorette parties and have fun! Everyone loves an excuse to get dressed up!! Plus, its to celebrate the bride-to-be so I don't think it has anything to do with the guests.

There will definitely be many married ladies at my bachelorette party (and one or two pregnant ladies), I think you'll be fine. Just have a blast!

Why would it be awkward as a married woman?

My married friend is coming. it's not YOUR bachelorette party. just 'cuz you're married doesn't mean you can't help someone else enjoy their "last harrah."

It will be fine. It's just a girl's night out when you come down to it. The only difference is that at Hen Parties, there are a lot more penis shaped objects.

It’s disgraceful that almost none of the responses here involve asking your significant other if they’re ok with it. Unless you consider the significant other to be an insignificant other. And no it’s not about “controlling”. It’s not about insecurities. And it’s women have got to get it through their heads that it’s got NOTHING to do with “trust”, whatever that word means anymore. It has to do with something called “respect”. Yes, respect. I not that all the people that give their approval here are women. You never, EVER, give a blind opinion like that without advising to go speak with the person most important in their life. If that person follows your advice and the significant other winds up breaking up with them due to your advice, how will you rectify it? You can’t. Stop giving your opinions, ladies, as to what’s right and wrong in someone else’s relationship.

Seriously, did it ever occur to any ladies here to suggest that it would be a good idea to speak with your husband? Maybe find out how your husband feels about it? Seventeen responses, all women, not one involved asking the person most important in her life. You never give someone value judgements like that, telling people what’s right and wrong, what’s good and bad. Did it ever occur to you for one second her husband may not feel comfortable with it? If her husband doesn’t like chicken, but you do, are you going to tell her to make chicken for dinner, that there’s nothing wrong with it? I have seen more than my fair share of relationships broken up because one partner decided to follow the advice of others instead of the significant other.

So the appropriate answer to your question is: ask your husband what he thinks and how he feels. He may actually thank you for taking his feelings into consideration instead of strangers.

View Quoted Comment Wow that’s a passionate response to people who probably aren’t here anymore.

why would my husband care if I went to a bachelorette party if he trusted me?

And yes I would say make chicken for dinner if you want it because it’s not my job as a wife or a person to ignore my own wants and needs just because he doesn’t like chicken. He can make his own meal if he doesn’t want what I cook.

Not awkward. But probably cheating. I would 100% divorce my wife, if I knew she went to a bachelorette party.
