No bach party-hate attention

Kristin, on August 26, 2019 at 12:27 PM Posted in Parties and Events 0 13
Anyone else considering not having a bachelorette party because they feel uncomfortable with attention? I've always been more of a background person, and don't often feel like I deserve the spotlight.
Also, out of curiosity, if you decided not to do a bachelorette (for any reason) were your BMs relieved or disappointed?

    I did one but I had a very unconventional one. It felt more like a hangout with my three friends. So it could definitely always be something way more low key and in your comfort zone.

    I'm not a huge center-of-attention person, but I'm still having a kind of two-part bachelorette party. My maid of honor and I are doing a weekend away in the mountains near some breweries, and then all the girls invited to the wedding who want to come are invited to bar hopping downtown where I (and most of our guests) live. I think my girls would have gladly planned something more extravagant if I had wanted that, but I liked doing something pretty low key, and I think my girls are happy to have to coordinate something not too far from a normal weekend out.

    My BMs know I'd rather stay at home and just relax with them. Even that is a bachelorette if you want it to be!

    I didnt have a bridal shower partially for that.
    My bachelorette party was super lowkey. My 3 girls and I just went to dinner and painted pottery. It was super fun and zero pressure to be the center of attention!

    I'd really prefer not to have one. If anything, I'd just like a low-key evening at a martini bar or restaurant. I'm super introverted and think that a big party would just be wasted on me, lol. My MOH is my sister, and she knows how I feel about this.

    Almost everyone in my bridal party, including myself, is tight on funds, so it's also just another expense that is not necessary at alllllll.

    A shower, wedding, and honeymoon is more than enough for me!

    I'm not doing a all out, crazy bachelorette party. Just me, my 4 bridesmaids, and a really good dinner downtown.

    If I have any sort of bachelorette party, I don't want more than a girls night in with a nice dinner or something. Bar hopping or strippers is definitely not my style.

    I didn’t want to do one originally but my girls started planning. I see it more as just hanging out and spending time with my friends.

    Ha, my girls would’ve been sad for sure! But, as I’m a low key person, they planned a super low key event. We had a night away, just my (3) wedding party girls and I— a night at an Airbnb, hung at the beach, made dinner in, then out for a nice brunch and some wine tasting at a couple vineyards. It was just time hanging with my best friends, not anything more, so it wasn’t a big attention-fest. They brought me a sash but didn’t make me wear it out, so the whole event just felt like regular (but amazing) time with my girls

    I definitely didnt want one. I hate attention, inevenncry on my birthday every year when my family sings happy birthday. My mom had a surprise party for me, which was sweet, but I was in a full blown panic. That being said, I keep being told that I HAVE to have one. My bridal party settled on an AirBNB in the Poconos and said we will just lay low. Itll be like any other family gathering. So that made me feel better. Maybe you can do something small? Even a wine and movie night?

    I’ve never been a big party person and don’t plan to have a traditional bachelorette, but I think I’d like for my FW and I, along with both our bridal parties, to do a low-key weekend getaway and rent an Airbnb somewhere—a bonfire, board games, and wine is more our speed than a big blowout.

    When my best friend got married, her bachelorette was just board games and drinks around her in-law’s pool. We all had an absolute blast. Your bachelorette can be whatever you want it to be, and if you really don’t want one, that’s fine too!

    I'm having an unconventional Bachelorette party. I'm not a drinker and not a spotlight fan, w
    So we are going bowling 5 minutes from my house. They have a bar (for the drinkers) but also laser tag, an escape room and an arcade. It will be a blast! Just do something you love... it can be whatever you want it to be. Smiley smile

    I'm severely introverted. I will not be having a bachelorette party. My sister (moh) said she wants to go out with me, FH, and her fiancé some night before the wedding..which I'm fine with.
