Is it weird that I don't want a Bachelorette Party

I am not having anything that involves strippers/bar hopping. I am way too old for anything like that and honestly the stripper thing I wouldn't have ever wanted. (GROSS) just my personal feeling.

I however do want to do something with my MOH and bridesmaids and include my FG so it has to be kid friendly. I am a mom so I want to have fun will all of them....thinking spa and paint maybe.

I asked for no shower and a very low key just sitting around with friends kinda bach.

Instead I get two showers and dragged out to a rowdy bar for a bachelorette after the first one. Did I mention that I can't drink until the wedding due to dietary restrictions???? Not especially happy with my MOH today...

I didn't really want one, so my sister (MOH) rented out a place to stay overnight, made a dinner reservation for the BP and a few of my childhood friends, and that was it. It was the only time all my BMs were together until the wedding, and there were no strippers or penis decorations.

If you don't want one that's up to you, but if your BMs or whoever is hosting it is respectful of your wishes, it can be a really nice girls' night.

I think we might do dinner & something like bowling - for me, it's more about coming into town and seeing my friends. I moved away from my hometown, and where almost all of my friends still live - so it's more like - celebrate I'm in town, and happen to be getting married soon vs get drunk, inappropriate, do something I'll hate.

I didn't really want one and neither did DH. We each opted to just have a day (or night) out with friends, but nothing crazy. I had a beach day with a small group of friends. DH was supposed to do paintball but GM dropped the ball on scheduling in advance, so they just had drinks and saw a movie.

I'm totally with you DO NOT want one....

Yes, I'm having a Bachelorette party!!! I don't look at it as the last "fling", I look at it as a way to celebrate getting married with my girlfriends. Not sure what my sister has up her sleeve, but there will not be any strippers lol. That's not my thing. There WILL be dancing, I'm sure...most of my friends I met through dance classes when I was younger. We're all in our 30s so it's not like we're going to go nuts. But I'm excited!

I alwats thought I'd want a crazy, bar hopping, drunken night of debauchery. Then I met my FH and fell in love and got engaged and now I don't want that AT ALL. We are having a sleepover, there will be champagne, and nothing penis shaped whatsoever. And it will be a blast!

Nope. I didn't want one, didn't have one, and haven't regretted it at all

Neither me or FW are really interested in bachelorette parties. I've mentioned to my MOH that if we do anything at all, I'd prefer something low key, like a casual girls night at home or at a pub. I had fun throwing crazy/wild bachelorette parties for a couple of my friends before their weddings, but I'm the last one to get married, and I'm over it all. I'd be happy with wine and fondue, or drinks and pub food, while just hanging out. (or nothing at all is fine too).

I'm having one but we are just basically going to the beach for the weekend! My mom and nieces will be there so I wont really be going crazy but that's not how I am.

I didn't want one. I brought up the idea of a joint party, but it was hard to get everyone involved. My SIL was very eager to plan something for me. So the bridal party will be going out to dinner the Friday before the wedding and Saturday morning we will be getting nails done. Nothing crazy, just a nice night out

You are not alone! I do not want a bach, shower, or engagement party. FH doesn't want any of this stuff either. I've been involved in weddings where all of those have been over-the-top and a little gift-grabby and it has rubbed me the wrong way. Wedding only for us.

I'm having mine this weekend, but it'll be pretty low-key (thank goodness my MOH know me so well!); we're doing a nice evening out at a local jazz bar: good food, good music, great company.

But in answer to the OP, no, I didn't want a bachelorette party that goes down in history as a wild night; it's just not who I am or my style.

I'm not doing one. I have a lot of younger bridesmaids and my friends have kids. We are having a pool day (with all the younger ones and kids) and going to have a giant inflatable waterslide! My sister (MOH) is already planning it!

ETA: this might still count as a bach party but it is not the traditional wild and crazy, last hoorah type of party!

Not weird AT ALL. Even in my 20s I knew that the girls with matching hot pink t-shirts and fake tiaras getting blackout drunk at the bars looked like no fun. I'm even less interested now that I'm in my 30s and hangovers are an all-day event.

If anything, I consider the awesome vacation I took with my family this summer as my 'last hurrah'.

We didn't want bachelor or bachelorette parties either but our friends insisted and we combined them and just did a dinner and bar crawl. I'm so glad they got us out, we had so much fun and got to de-stress with our friends before the wedding

I do want one but I know that bach parties are being thrown differently now. You don't have to have the strippers in order for it to be considered a bach party. You can get creative and do brunch and a movie. You can even do a spa day or something.

I didn't have a shower or a bachelorette party. My MOH did surprise me with a bridal luncheon. Small, simple, beautiful....and no gifts!

Nope. I just want to hang out with a few friends to get food and drinks, then go home. My bridesmaid thinks it boring. I don't care,lol.
