Renaissance festival bachelorette party

I get where you’re coming from when it comes to not liking camping. There’s only 1 person who doesn’t really like the idea of camping, but there will be lots of drinks so she won’t care after a few lol.
Also, I’m not planning it, I just gave them the idea of what I’d really like and they went with it.

I'd go for sure!!

While I love a good Ren Faire, I don’t think anyone who would go to a Bach for me would want to do it. Our Ren is always jam packed and can be a daunting experience for a person.

I presume you have been to the one in your region before? I would just make sure that everyone is truly wanting to go. Is this something they would go to of their own volition?

View Quoted Comment My ren fest isn’t too crowded most of the time.
I have been to the ren fest before, multiple times and had a great time.
Like I said, most of the girls are 100% okay with it, but there’s one who’s not completely on board. She hasn’t been to ren fest before, though.
Until now I haven’t had any second thoughts since mostly everyone was happy to attend.

I would go to be fair but I would skip the camping, sorry. I hate camping with a fiery passion, even after a few drinks. I would make the overnight part completely optional so no one feels pressured. The fair part sounds fun though

View Quoted Comment The thing is, the fair is pretty far away from where everyone lives and we all need to be at the fest when it opens so we can stick together, plus they wouldn’t be able to drink much if they’re driving home.

I'm sure you all have cell phones, so if someone arrived late they can find you. And if they can't drink much because they're driving, that should be their choice, no?

This is where it crosses more into bridezilla territory, I think.

View Quoted Comment I second this. I’d come for the fair to be part of your bach celebration, but would find a way to leave afterwards. I don’t do camping lol. I’d probably hate it even more when drinking honestly, cause I’d want nothing more than a real bathroom and a bed to crash onto after a night of drinking. I definitely wouldn’t push the camping part onto your friends, even if they seem into it they might just be saying that. And the opposite is true too - some people might love camping and wanna come for that part but might totally cringe at the thought of the renaissance festival.

I do think it’s fine to plan your own bach party! Just be flexible as to how people take part.

I do understand where everyone is coming from. I just haven’t had anyone voice that they don’t want to do the camping part.

View Quoted Comment Well in that case I wouldn't go at all, or I would be safe and not drink at all so that I can drive home. The fair sounds fun, but I need a real bathroom and that's a non negotiable for me. I would have to decline if camping was the only option or if I felt pressured to just do it. Just make sure be girls are all really actually fine with camping and no one feels pressured to go. If they are all excited and cool with it, then go for it!

I LOVE the Renaissance fair!!! Wish I was your bridesmaid seriously.

If you like around the Texas Ren Fest you could come! lol

That sounds like so much fun! I think it's totally fine to mention to your MOH/bridesmaids that you'd like to do this! My MOH asked me to recommend places to go for mine and then we checked with everyone to see what would work best for all. I also told 2 of my fiance's groomsmen (that would be planning the bachelor party since the best man is going through some things) what my fiance would want to do because he's picky and gets uncomfortable easily, and they were glad I mentioned it

THIS, sorry but I'm not in the camp that thinks a bride can't have any say because it's like she's "throwing a party for herself" well it's supposed to be a party for her, she should suggest what she likes! If it's something that's going to be a major cost for the planners or attendees and they want to pass, that's up to them, but the idea that it's rude for the bride to ask or suggest festivities is a little overly-stringent for me. If I was planning I'd rather the bride tell us what she wants to do, rather than try and guess, or let the bridesmaids take over with ideas and have a disappointed guest of honor.

This seems like a SUPER fun idea - I'd say feel free to suggest it to your girls and if anyone's against the idea, they don't have to go.
