Bridesmen at bachelorette party

Rachel, on October 17, 2016 at 3:35 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 5

Hello! I'm a long-time lurker and have found a lot of your advice to be helpful, so thank you for that and nice to officially to be on here! :-)

I've looked around for this topic here and on other sites, and have not found much information. Mixed-gender wedding parties seem to be fairly new so maybe that's why I'm not finding much. So basically, my WP is 9 people, including both men and women. My fiancee and I are each doing our own bachelorette party. I am not planning the stereotypical bachelorette party, but was thinking of doing a day trip somewhere close by, and this may possibly involve an overnight stay. I was just thinking of it as a fun trip with my WP, which are my siblings and closest friends, and I wanted to include them all. When I looked up including male attendants at pre-wedding events, I came across one post from a girlfriend of a bridesman who was very bothered about her boyfriend going to a bachelorette party.

    I do not want my bridesmen's girlfriends to be bothered by this, so I'm wondering...would it bother you if your bf/FI/H were involved in a "bachelorette party" (I hesitate to even call it that because it is a trip with men and women.) I thought about just inviting the bridesmen's girlfriends, but then of course, fair is fair so if I did that I would let the bridesmaids bring their boyfriends. I'm fine with doing this, I mean, I was sort of looking forward to a trip with my nearest and dearest, and making it a couples trip would make me the odd one out ha (since my fiancee is doing hers separately). Obviously my family's and friends' feelings are more important than my "vision," but I was just wondering...do you think it's necessary to include WP's SOs? Thank you in advance for your help! :-)

    Thank you both for your input! You're right, I'll just leave it up to them to plan/decide. But yes, definitely all of the WP is coming (if they want to/can), regardless of their gender :-)

    I think as long as you are okay with the whole wedding party attending then go for it! But let your WP plan it for you.

    It wouldn't bother me if FH was a bridesman and he went to a bachelorette party.

    I agree with PPs. Let your BP plan your bachelorette party and let them worry about any potential issues with their SOs.
