What do you think? Is planning your own bach party a faux pas or nah?

I'm planning my own so I personally feel like it's acceptable.

I don't want to plan the whole thing, but I've liked giving some ideas. And I know I'll do most of the driving because I've got the bigger and newer/safer/more reliable car.

Traditions change. Etiquette does not change (etiquette is making sure guests are comfortable).
No bride (or groom with a bachelor party) should plan her own bachelorette party. That is the responsibility of her attendants. The same goes for the bridal shower.
A bride can plan a bridesmaid luncheon/dinner/party that is an entirely separate event as a thank you for them participating. That is the only party she is allowed or expected to host herself prior to the wedding day.
