Joint Bachelor/Bachelorette Party?

@COBride, the idea isn't to spend the entire weekend together, it's 90% a logistical reason (otherwise for my FH's bachelor party the GMs would either have to pay for the rooms, or I would need to go to Vegas to sign them all in for a comped room and then leave). The initial thought would be to meet up for happy hour on Fri, go our separate ways, and come back together on Sun before driving back. All the fun stuff for the parties would be done separately. Like I said, we all want to do different things (dancing with the girls versus Top Golf for the guys).

We're doing joint parties in Vegas! We are staying at different hotels though and will be doing our own thing for most the weekend. I think we are planning on having one joint dinner together, but that's it. I've heard from other people i know who have done the same thing that it was a lot of fun!

FI and I have been throwing the idea around of a joint bachelor/ette party. We found a laser tag place near our home and thought it'd be a real fun idea to play boys vs. girls laser tag.

We did a joint party because we live in WA and our BP is in CA so we thought it'd be easier to do one big party together. Originally we wanted to find somewhere at the halfway point, but we handed the general idea (joint party in a cabin somewhere) to our MOH and BM and they ran with it! They dubbed it "bach fest" and decided on Tahoe (which was actually further for us, but we didn't mind) over a long weekend. We all stayed in the same cabin but they made sure we had separate activities planned. It was a blast! I loved our separate day (white water rafting for us, beer and poker for the guys), but I also loved that the whole BP getting to hang out and have fun together before the big day. It was awesome!

I didn't see your updated details when I posted before- that seems like a reasonable plan. I'm curious which pools are open at that time? We like to go over MLK weekend but haven't stayed anywhere with an open pool, and I love me some Vegas pooling. I did notice when we were at the sports bar in the Monte Carlo that they had an open pool and hottub, but I recall their rooms being pretty meh.

We're planning one. We both wanted to go to New Orleans so we though why not just go together. We'll do a fee things together, then split up and do stuff with out BM and GM separately. People advised us against it, but I think it'll be really fun.

My husband said NO FREAKING WAY when I brought up the idea of doing a joint one LOL. My brother and his wife did theirs in NYC the same weekend, girls and guys did separate things during the day/dinner then we all met up for more drinking and dancing. It worked for them but it's definitely not for everyone!

I think you should go there get dinner as a big group or something then go do your own things and maybe plan on meeting for brunch the next morning.

Last wedding I was in we did this, booked rooms and did our own thing, since 90% of the bridal party had spouses that were groomsmen we met up with them for lunch and then went our separate ways. It was super fun!

We actually plan on doing this outselves. FH and I would joke about having our bachelor/ette parties in Vegas and our bridal party was down. We're in the middle of looking for a house to share as a group, do our own things and get together one night for dinner and a show. We're even doing it all on the weekend of our dating anniversary the way we do our annual trips.

I think it'll be fun

I think that sounds like a great plan. MOH would probably be excited about not having to pay for the hotel, tbh LOL
