Is it weird that I don't want a Bachelorette Party

I'm with you! My wedding isn't for a while but I'm dreading a bachelorette party.

Have you talked to your bridesmaids about not wanting one?

Nope, I don't want one either. My MOH will probably do a movie and drinking night, but I don't want a traditional bachlorette party. I'm having a really small wedding so just hanging out would be fine.

Not me.. hangout would be fine too.

I'm not having one! A lot of my friends are married/babies and are too busy... (Its hard enough to plan just a dinner with some girlfriends) My mom wants to get some friends together and do a canvas/wine or cooking class.. We may do something like that since I'm not having a bridal shower either.. my preference... I don't want to make family/friends come out for me multiple times lol.. I'm weird..

Nope...I don't want one either...or a shower

No. I didn't have one the first time around, and if it happens again, definitely not. My personal opinion (infused by the fact that I"m ancient) is...

1. If anyone thinks this is their 'last night of freedom' they shouldn't get married

2.They've gotten too expensive, too intensive, and too crazy

3. Male strippers .....ewww....

4. Giant floating inflatable penises, or, well, any type of penis decor....shirts that say, "bride", tiaras, sashes....... nope.

But that's just me.

Bach parties don't have to be wild and crazy.

My girls and I did dinner and a piano bar.

Some people here have done cooking classes, high tea service, etc.

If you don't want to go out, that's totally ok, but please don't think that all bach parties have to be crazy with male strippers, etc.

I am not a fan. It’s just not really my style. We didn’t do any sort of dinner the night before, so instead of a bachelorette party, all my friends that came in for the wedding and I went out to sushi. It was so fun and it was a good chance to catch up with everyone!

We ended up doing more of a girls night, went to sushi dinner, then bar hopped a bit and it was so much fun. Bach parties come in many different forms. Spa days, beach days, or a night in watching movies or sleepover

Or nothing at all. Do you.

I didn't have either a bachelorette party or bridal shower. The rehearsal dinner was pretty much the party we had and it was a lot of fun!!

I told my MOH when she asked, I just wanted it to be me and the 3 of them. Of the BM's is 15 so I know nothing crazy will happen. And that's just how I want it to be :-)

I'd prefer to do something local and low key like winery hopping, dinner at a nice restaurant, or doing one of those wine and paint nights.

I am 100% with @Celia! We are going to a BYOB painting class and a nice dinner and calling it a night. I just find "traditional" bachelor/bachelorettes to be disrespectful to your relationship because you are in a committed relationship that's about to get even more serious (marriage) and you shouldn't need a "last fling". If you're getting married, you've already flung.

I don't like being the center of attention - hell I am somewhat anxious about the wedding and now I have to sit through a bachelorette party. My bridal party and my FH says I just need to "suck it up", and let my dear friends spoil me for once. Hoping for something simple.

So no OP, you are not alone.

You 100% do not have to have a party thrown in your honor. I had a great time at mine, but I love that kind of stuff. This is not necessary by ANY means. Do you, boo.

Nope, you're not alone. I've told my family I don't want one but I suspect they're planning a surprise bach anyway. UGH!

Not at all, I dont even want a shower....

I was at one this past Sunday that was a Drag Brunch. It was really fun and low key, and really fit the bride's personality.

I agree with everything Celia said. I won't be having one. My best friend got married in July and didn't have one and said she didn't feel like she missed anything. My sister/MOH and my two bridesmaids will stay overnight with me the night before and I'm happy with that.

I don't want the traditional bach party either, no. Too disrespectful and not really my thing. FH and I were actually considering starting our bachelor/bachelorette parties out together doing something competitive like laser tag (guys vs girls) then going separate ways and doing something fun but low-key with our respective crews.
