Is it smart to have the bachelor/bachelorette party the week of the wedding?

My FI and I are trying to put together logistics as far as how we are going to go about our bachelor/bachelorette parties. He really is hell bent on having it the week of, meanwhile I'm just feel like I'm going to be freaking out the week of, but we are hiring a wedding planner so essentially by this time everything will just need to be executed properly. I would prefer this time to honestly have to myself and trust the process (still being a phone call away though), but a lot of our bridesmaids and groomsmen are out of town guest so we are essentially trying to figure the most feasible way possible to execute this. I just personally don't think it is smart.

ADVICE PLEASE!

FYI: We aren't planning our parties, but we are going out of town and have opted to be in charge of our own plane tickets and things like that and we also are trying to be considerate to our Bridal party by not having them have to take off so many days or buy so many plane tickets.

    I would avoid that week. I think I would be so excited and overwhelmed with the wedding that I wouldn't be able to really enjoy it. I know they wanna plan something outside and I don't want anyone sunburnt. Plus I'm old and if I drink it takes me a while to recover. Smiley laugh

    If you are planning on going a little crazy (which I assume you are since you mentioned Vegas) I wouldn't do it the week of. I personally wouldn't want to be recovering from too much fun that close to the wedding. I am also a little afraid of injury, I am a klutz and I am that girl that frequently falls when I am intoxicated - honestly I have two left feet even when I am not intoxicated. I can see me rolling a ankle and not being able to rock my wedding heels LOL. My BP decided on throwing a bachelorette party for me the last weekend of June, so 3 months prior to the wedding. Everyone is also located all over the U.S. so this helped spacing out travel for them since many of them will be flying in for both the bachelorette party and then the wedding. FH's friends are still planning his but I expect they will do his at least a month before.

    We're doing ours on the same weekend as each other's and we are doing them 3 weeks prior to the weekend. We most likely would have done them a little closer but Memorial Day falls in between there and my birthday so we didn't want that to get in the way!
