I'm over reacting? Co-workers want to throw Bachelorette

Since I got engaged my coworkers have always wanted to throw me a Bachelorette trip. Back story, my fiance and I met at work and basically the whole office has seen this relationship evolve. I said that they could, but to keep it to only a few co-workers because even though my coworkers are my friends, they still are coworkers. There is a level of professionalism that still needs to exist. They sent a note to all of my friends and coworkers about this trip, but to me that's too overwhelming. I prefer to keep the work Bachelorette separate from the one my sister (MOH) is throwing.I feel like am not going to be able to enjoy myself because I feel I will not be able to completely let my hair down. I'm I over reacting?

    I wouldn't let coworkers throw a bachelorette, especially one that involves a trip. If they want to throw a shower, fine. If they want to go out for a drink and dinner, fine. A bachelorette, no way.

    Maybe do a calmer one with them, and still do a normal one with your bridesmaids?

    I agree, a shower is more appropriate for them.

    I would feel uncomfortable too. I think they would understand if you asked them not to throw you one, but that you would love to go out to drinks with them to celebrate. I would be honest and say you're not comfortable because it's not professional.

    I mean a bachelorette can be calm too! I don't think it has to be too nuts, if you don't want it to be.

    I think a trip may be a bit much.

    I definitely wouldn't go on a trip with my co-workers. I've only gone out for drinks with them twice during Christmas during work hours. Lol I'd let them throw me a shower but that's about it for me. See if you can go to lunch with them instead of going on a trip.

    Yeah, agreed. A "bachelorette" could just involve getting drinks and having a night out with your co-workers, and I don't see that as inappropriate at all. A trip is too much, imo.

    A trip? Heck no. That's way too much togetherness with coworkers. These people are invited to the wedding?

    A trip seems like a bit much. Just tell them that a night out would be ok but you don't have the time and $ to travel right now?

    I would just have two, and tell your sister that. Have a friends one, then have your coworkers one. It's nice coworkers want to throw one, but I agree. You need to have a relaxed, let loose one with family/friends. Having 2 is totally fine!

    I would feel uncomfortable and would ask to just go out for dinner and drinks or something like that. Nothing too crazy.
