Bridal Shower Strippers?!

A stripper at the bridal shower?!

I don't believe in the whole "my last turn up" thing at all.... I don't get it. If this is your last night of freedom - don't fucking get married. My FH and I are as committed to each other today and next year and 10 years from now.

That being said, just tell your mom no, that is not happening and you don't want it at all.

Explain to her what you just did to us. Bridal shower = formal and for all ages. Bachelorette party = crazy and booze and strippers.

I had a mimosa bar at my bridal shower so booze is fine....but strippers.

Nope

No.

Tell her no! If she's not hosting, tell her both you and the host do not feel this is appropriate and the host's decision is no stripper. If she's hosting, tell her you'd appreciate it if she would respect your wishes.

Dear lord no

Ashleigh, yea i just have to break it to her. We are very close but i really dont want her to see me having fun drinking and partying with my girls.

Erin, I want a bachorette party because it's tradition! Not to mess around . But yes i will tell her no, thanks

No no no not for a bridal shower!

Side comment: We went to a drag show for my cousin's bachelorette. Her husband's 90 year old grandmother came. Thank goodness she is mostly deaf and couldn't hear all of the raunchy things the drag queens were saying to her!!

Samatha, thank you, she is a co host along with my MOH, hopefully they both respect my wishes.

Just say NO.

Uhhh no strippers at the shower!

I'm not really in the camp of a bachelorette party being a last night of freedom thing either, as to me I hadn't been single for years at that point. I wouldn't have behaved any differently that night than I would have a couple years before or now that I'm married or even in a couple years. But regardless it's still a night out with the girls (that is, if that's how you choose to go with it) and it's quite different from a shower. A shower is usually held mid afternoon with all your female relatives (sometimes co-ed, but most often women) and typically your fiances as well (or broken into 2 showers). I would have been MORTIFIED if there had been a stripper at my shower. Honestly, I still would not be able to face my ILs. I think it was weird enough for my MIL that we played a game like the newlywed game and I had to say my favorite part of DHs body and I said his butt! His mom, sister, and cousin all were thoroughly freaked out by that (they are super conservative). I think it might have literally killed his mom if there had been a stripper! Perhaps your mom doesn't understand what a shower normally entails? Look up some ideas on pintrest to show her or some wedding movies with shower scenes (lol, shower scene...).

So my mom didn't even come to my bachelorette and all we did was go to a live theatre festival. LOL. So I totally get it.

Just tell her. Also, bachelorette isn't a freedom event. You're only "free" when you're single.

@Reggie thanks for the advice. His family is pretty conservative too but my family is the complete opposite.

Some ppl literally don't understand this. One of my summer interns rides home with me everyday (she's from China and doesn't have a car, so her FILs pick her up everyday from my house so they dont have to get into downtown traffic, whew) she thought a shower was a bachelorette, she kept asking about partying & strippers I was like no think: baby shower (finger foods, games, and opening gifts). A bachelorette is like the female version of a bachelor party. Its not that hard to understand. So tell your mom you want a baby shower for a bride.

Mine too. I come from a super liberal family and his is super conservative so I've had to make some adjustments. But my mom would never suggest strippers at a shower, lol. She would totally be up for going to see them after though!

Haha!! She has the wrong party in mind!

Agreed with prior posters about bachelorette parties and "freedom" and whatnot. But yeah. Who thinks this is a good idea? O.o
