Boring Bachelorette Party

We are doing a joint bachelor/bachelorette party and going paint balling I'm super excited!

There are plenty of things that are fun which do not involve drinking. Let your MOH plan and you enjoy the festivities.

OP. Congrats. And don't sweat it. It sounds like your BMs have your back. There are lots of fun stuff to do without drinking. I'm not sure what we'll be doing, but my BM talked about pizza and a sleepover. Dorky? Yes. But oh so fun.

I don't drink (just personal preference). My bach party was me and my friends hanging out with a nice dinner, dessert, followed by a girls' night in with pizza, snacks, and movies. There was beer and wine, but no one got drunk and it was perfectly fine that we didn't go bar-hopping or get smashed. Instead, we just enjoyed each others company.

Congrats on you recovery thus far! Your friends know you well and will plan something fun regardless of whether alcohol is involved or not. It will be a blast no matter if people are drinking or not. Relax and enjoy!

A couple suggestions: spa day, escape room trip, paint night, cooking lessons? Mini boudoir sessions (hire a photog, do eachothers H&MU and each girl gets a half hour with the photog for pics?) some of these can easily involve alcohol but not be centered around it.

congrats on your sobriety!

A day at the beach, an amusement park, one of those fancy movie theaters that you can order food at, painting (on a canvas or pottery), horseback riding, a ballet, a play etc

Some people have mentioned active ideas and I think that is great! Some sort of activity that is fun for everyone to get involved. I saw paintball and that got me excited. I am not really a drinker and would so love a paintball bachelorette party

First of all, I want to seriously congratulate you for loving yourself, your future, and life enough to take control of something that was controlling you. It sounds a lot easier than it actually is, so you get major props from me for just getting through those first difficult three to seven days. Two months is terrific, but you're still in the infancy of your sobriety. Believe me, those who love you are well aware of your life change, and they will focus on giving YOU a wonderful event, not a drunken free for all.

You're going to be fine, and you'll come back with photos and a post telling us all about your fantastic BP. One day at a time, sweetie -- it's the God's honest truth, and the only way to win.

I have a friend who doesn't drink and her MOH planned a DIY wine & canvas night but with non-alcoholic beverages. Super cost effective as well! Some places also do Cookies & Canvas. And there are soooo many bachelorette party games that don't involve alcohol. You will have a blast!

Try not to worry. I don't drink much, so I had a bachelorette tea party. My friends knew it was perfect for me, and I don't believe people were upset that there were no drinks - I think everyone enjoyed the novelty of a formal tea. If you have an activity, everyone will be fine.

@Rachel Thank you so much for the encouraging words!

What about dinner and a show? A comedy show, concert, opera, musical, play. My cousin isn't a huge drinker, and for her bach a few years ago we did dinner and a show at the Funny Bone. It was a hoot, and while alcohol was available and most of us had maybe two or three drinks, no one was drunk or focused on the alcohol.

Congratulations on your recovery!
