Mom and MIL coming to bachelorette party?

KNB2016, on September 21, 2016 at 11:08 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 35

Have anyone of you had your mom or future MIL at your bachelorette? Both are coming to mine and I'm a little nervous about it. We are having a pure romance party and then going to a local bar afterward so I don't think it will be too terrible. Any experience with this?

    I guess it depends what your relationship is with your mom and MIL.. I went to one where the moms were there while the bride opened lingerie and it felt a little icky

    It's not something I would personally be comfortable with. Although, I do know people who have done it.

    That sounds super awkward and uncomfortable to me. I love my FMIL but I do not need to get drunk with her.

    I'm super super close with both of them so I didn't have second thought inviting them but now that's we're closer (Saturday) I'm feeling a little shy about being in the bar dancing ect

    How does other people in attendance feel?

    You may not think it's too terrible but your friends might be horrify. But if everyone on board, why not.

    Nope nope and nope. It is one thing if you are having a brunch or nice dinner and that is it. I am very close with my mom, not so much with MIL, but would never have them be part of my bach that had any sexual tones or themes.

    My fmil wanted nothing to do with it haha. My mom did, at first I made a comment to MOH that I didn't want her there, but in the end I was like F it, whoever wants to come can come, not going to hurt my mom's feelings. It wasn't as much fun having her there tbh, I wanted to be reckless and not worry about what my mom would think, but it was fine. Not a big deal. Kind of wish she didn't want to come, but I'm not going to exclude her.

    We only did a bar crawl and still didn't invite them. It's harder to let loose with your friends when they are around.

    My best friend's mom went to her bachelorette party, but not her MIL. We did a pure romance party and then went bar hopping. Her mom was the DD. :-) The party was so much fun and the consultant did all the orders in a private room so no one knows what anyone else bought. The Pure Romance party is also good because she will receive money towards her purchases so you will be helping her pay for her items and no one has to know what she got.

    Personally, I would never do this. If I went to a bachelorette where someones mom was there I would feel awkward. I know my BFF's mom well, but will still feel weird for her to be at something like that. Like PP's have stated, I guess it depends on your relationship with them.

    I'm also thinking my mom will skip the bar part but my FMIL will not miss the chance to go to a bar.

    @Christina W that's the way out pure romance lady does it too! I actually went to my MOH's moms bachelorette so she will be at mine as well. I'm super close with her as well. We are just one big friendly family I guess lol

    I've gone to a Pure Romance party with my mom but we are super close and it wasn't awkward at all. We have had some very detailed conversations before haha. I am just an open person about mostly everything. I never thought about her coming to my Bachelorette party, but it will prolly just be us younger girls. I wouldn't be opposed to my mom or FMIL coming since I literally do everything with my mom and all my friends call her mom too, but I can see how it would bother some people.

    No way. That would be way too awkward. Also I feel like they (particularly mil,) might be watching your behavior...judging you on small things you might not even notice. I personably wouldn't lol.

    Pure Romance with my mom (much less his) sounds really awkward....

    @Lanie I am the same way with my mom and also FMIL. FMIL just went though a nasty divorce so shes been glued to my hip these past few months so we're pretty open about things.

    I invited both to mine, but my sister and SIL objected. We just stayed in my grandparent's rental lake house, laid out, and drank the weekend away with my aunt, uncle, and grandparents.
