Who else did not want to do a whole bachelorette weekend?

I see post about everyone bow doing a bachelorette weekend. Am I the only one who just wanted a simple night out. I do not want my bridesmaid to have to be away from families that long. I don’t want to be away from fiancé that long. I don’t want them to spend that much money on me. Anyone else feel...

Anyone else feel this way ? We are doing a board and brush party. I am painting my wedding welcome sign.

    I kinda wish I had done a simple night out! The weekend was long and exhausting

    I'm with you on this! I don't have very many friends so a bachelorette party wouldn't be fun for me. My brother and his girlfriend (who are also our best man and MOH) are taking us to Maine for the weekend at the end of the month as our bachelor/bachelorette party. That's good enough for me.

    We didn't even want to have bachelorette parties. I couldn't imagine going out of town to spend more money and ask my friends to do the same. We eventually decided to have a party at a friend's bar with a bunch of friends to celebrate our upcoming marriage.

    I personally probably won't be doing a bachelorette weekend myself. My entire bridal party will have to be traveling and are already spending money on other things for the wedding. I am probably leaning towards a painting party myself and sipping for a few (My MOH is under age and one of my bridesmaids doesn't drink) and a nice dinner/lunch depending on when we can meet. I just don't think the bachelorette party is something to make your whole bridal party blow money on and I think everyone will be more content with one night than a whole weekend.

    I'm with you there. One tonight is good enough for me. Money tight as it is with bills and wedding stuff. I could not ask my girls or anyone else in the family to spend any more money or time off from work. In all honest you are not really single once you get into a realtionship there another person you have to think about besides yourself. Just my opinion

    I think it really depends on a few factors. I'm doing a weekend but I have a few out of town guests so for them to come in for just one night they wouldn't come. 2 of my sisters are flying in from NY (to FL) so for them a weekend is worth it but if all my girls were local then we probably would just do a night out. Its all preference.

    That could be a nice time! You don’t have to party hard to call it a bachelorette party. Do each other’s nails and do facials and watch silly 80’s movies and Mad Libs it whatever silliness you like. It would be a great way so de-stress just before the wedding.
    People look at me funny when I say I don’t have friends. I have coworkers. If any of us left our jobs I know we wouldn’t keep in touch. I have one really close friend here and one back in my hometown and I’m OK with that. My sister is planning some big surprise and I’m just letting her do it because she lives on the other side of the country and we never see each other.

    I had mine a little over a week ago, the evening following my bridal shower. I originally didn't want anything at all, but my sister (MOH) convinced me that it would be fun to have something when my friends and bridesmaids were already in town for the shower. We met up at my house after the shower, played a couple fun games (both G rated), went out to dinner, had a couple drinks, and I was home by 11 pm. It was perfect.

    I'm so with you! I think the whole weekend or destination bachelorette parties are a little too much and put pressure on people to spend money - which i don't like. Dinner and going out was plenty!

    My girls and I are doing 1 evening that is it. I had a few of my younger friends, tell me they are getting me trashed and I wont be coming home that night. Um yea I put a stop to that right away. 1. I don't drink but maybe 2 drinks a year and 2. I want a fun time I can remember, really thinking a drag show would be fun, and then I want to go home and crawl into bed with my FH and my puppers. No need for a weekend if you don't want one.

    I don’t even want a bachelorette party! I live in New York, a majority of my party in Massachusetts, one in Vermont where the wedding is, and the last in Alabama. I told them that if we were to do something I would do something with each of them individually (like with my MOH I kind of want to do a spa day). I just am not into the entire “celebrating your last party not married” thing. My fiancé isn’t even have a bachelor party because he views it as a “last celebration of freedom” and doesn’t think I’m locking him down or anything.
