Inviting bridesmaid's partners to bachelorette?

Well many of the bachelorette parties I've been to have been females only unless there was a male stripper. However, I think inviting her would be a great idea especially if it is all women. I don't see the harm.

Being a lesbian myself this is often an issue that comes up when inviting couples to what is normally an event for "just the the girls" or "just the guys". I wouldn't normally invite partners to the bachelor or Bachelorette party if the bride or groom to bes partner wasn't coming as well but in this case I would invite her. She's one of the girls too!

Yep, I would invite her. I've been to bachlorettes with couples before.

Thanks, Jakkia! Do you think it would be rude to the other bridesmaids who aren't bringing their boyfriends? I didn't mention this in the original post, but there is a guy coming (a bridesman), so it's not a women-only event.

I would totally invite her!

That's a good question. Maybe try talking to them to see how they would feel. Some may not care and may not even want their boyfriends to come lol.

I would ask your sister what she thinks. One of my bridesmaids is a lesbian and I've become pretty close with her fiance over the years. I asked her if she wanted her fiance to come and she declined because she preferred to use the weekend as time to catch up with her sorority sisters and didn't want to be the only one there coupled. See what your sister prefers!

I second asking your sister. One of my husbands groomsman is gay and didn't want his significant other there, the invitation was extended through the groomsman though. I'd just tell your sister if she wants to bring her partner she's more than welcome and see what she wants to do.

If it's just bridesmaids and not partners, she doesn't have to be included just because she happens to be a female partner.

Here's an idea: have your sister/MoH invite whomever you want.

There will likely be gay men at my bachelorette. If you're friends with your potential SiL, than why not invite her? Same goes with boyfriends. If you don't feel you know your bridesmaid's SOs, that well, then you don't necessarily need to push it. Ask your bridesmaids what they think.

Another vote for delegating that decision to your sister. Maybe she wants to party with her partner, or maybe she would just rather hang out with you!
