So far no bachelor party... Should I say somethong?

Jaime, on July 12, 2017 at 7:17 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 33

So my girls have been great and have planned an amazing weekend for me next month. I feel bad for my FH because his men havent told,mentioned or planned anything for him as far as we can tell . My FH loves poker and the casino and wanted to do a Vegas trip but realizes thats not an option. He has been down because he doesn't think his best man or party will plan anything. Should I reach out to the best man? It is his younger brother. Ps im on mobile sorry about typing errors

    No. These are all optional parties, it's rude to ask and it's for sure not your place to ask. Vegas sounds nice but it is also expensive for airfare, hotel, etc. It's especially rude to ask or assume or hint around a vegas trip as a Bachelor party.

    I agree about Vegas. Honestly its too late to plan it. I think he is just down since they arent planning anything. He would be happy with a guys night out honestly

    I'm sure he's a little down about it, and it sucks but no one is entitled to this. You still have two and a half months (how exciting!!), maybe they will put something together between now and then! If they're anything like my FH friends they'll procrastinate till a few days before!

    Probably So! I hope he at least will get a boys night prior. My little sisters by arranged for golf at a nice club day before wedding so at least he will have that. They could mix drinking and call it a bachelor party haha

    No. These parties, IMHO, have gotten completely out of hand, time and money wise. I think it would honestly be embarrassing if you got involved, even though you're coming from a place of love.

    Maybe you two could plan a little jaunt there after the wedding?

    There's still time. They may be planning something for him. Or maybe when the brother hears about yours it will remind him to plan something

    You're not getting married until October. How do you know his BM isn't planning something? You'd be at least 2 months away from a bachelor party. Not everyone plans parties months in advance. Either way, stay out of it.

    I asked our best man about it, but he is also one of my best friends. I mainly asked because DH officially asked him to be the BM much closer to the wedding than I would have liked and I wasn't sure if he'd thought about organizing one or not. DH would have been fine either way and probably wasn't expecting one since we're the organizers of our group. He quickly decided it should be a total surprise so I had to be in the loop because we were making final vendor appointments. I definitely would not have asked him to throw a bachelor party for DH, and if we weren't that close I probably wouldn't have asked him about it at all.

    Girls certainly plan things more in advance than guys. They will likely plan something next month or so.

    No, you don't say anything. My FH's best man is taking him on a camping trip in August so it's definitely not too late and they might have a surprise plan. However, even if they didn't you still don't say anything. I haven't heard anything about a bachelorette being planned for me and that's fine. I'm planning to give myself a spa day when Fh is gone for his.

    Personally I would just drop a hint. Maybe when you are talking to his BM or GM just talk about your party and then say "sooo what are y'all gonna do?" Don't make it seem like they have to, but sometimes men forget and you have to remind them. But don't make it sound like they have to.They may already have something planned but haven't said anything as well. I know the BM and GM in our bridal party are having the Bachelor party the Thursday before the wedding and My bachelorette party is like a month before. Girls plan a lot better than men, most of the time.

    Neither FH or I had these parties thrown for us so this week-end the two of us are going to Vegas. My dad and step-mom are meeting us out there to celebrate and relax.

    Can the two of you just take a mini vacation?

    My Hs friends were super last minute on it. He was about to move away to me and like a week before his friends wanted him to come over to say goodbye and hang out one last time and they ended up surprising him and made it into a bachelor party and went out and everything. They might plan something later - they still have lots of time! I would just leave it alone and try to lift your husbands spirits. On the chance they don't plan anything maybe y'all can go out together before the wedding just to celebrate!

    I'm having a bach, but no one's really planned one for FH. A GM asked if he could plan one and I said it would be a great idea. (He didn't want to step on BM's toes and I KNOW BM hasn't planned anything.) I've asked FH what he'd want to do for a bach and he was lukewarm on it.

    Honestly, it's their deal. And it's ****% optional. So I'm staying out of it.

    Listen, generally the bachelor/bachelorette parties are not planned 2 months out from the wedding. I'm 30 days out and just had mine this past weekend. There's still plenty of time for your gm's to plan something and from experience with my FH, they plan EVERYTHING last minute. For example- we had the spa, hotel, dinner, male review and club reservations ready a month before the party. The boys were meeting us at the club at the end of the night and we were all sharing an awesome hotel room, but my FH didn't plan what he wanted to do during the day until the day before the event. I wouldn't worry about it, honestly. In reality, it's out of your hands. If they chose not to throw him a party then that's there perogative. Good luck.
