Joint Bachelor/Bachelorette Parties

My FSIL is doing this for her bachelorette party. She's doing it because she doesn't trust her FH (but that's a whole other story!). As someone attending, I'm a little disappointed but since my FH is going to the bachelor party, I just look at it as a fun night out together.

That's what my FH and I are doing. We are having separate days and dinners, and meeting up at night for some drinks. We also have separate hotel rooms with our friends. We wanted to spend some time together because we share most of our friends. None of our groups think it is weird, most are excited to see there SO at the end of the night. It probably depends on your crowd and your FH.

My fiancé and I were invited to one, but were not able to go

We are doing our own things during the day then all meeting up at night to go get drinks together.

My FH was dead set against it lol. Oh well, Ill have fun without him

FH and I have talked about this as a possibility. His parents had one! If we did we would probably do our own things during the day and get together in the evenings like PP have said

I did a co-ed bachelor-bachelorette camping trip and I really enjoyed it because I got to meet most of the groomsmen for the first time. I already knew all the bridesmaids. We had a lot of fun

Hard pass for me.

That's what we are doing. We rented out a section of a bar that we will meet up at later in the evening.

We're doing this too. It was actually my FH's request. My MOH and his BM were a tiny bit disappointed but they love us so they want to make it work.

Nope not for me. I am not a big party girl and I know my FH wants to go all out.

@Hannah- we are likely doing an overnight but FH wants to rent a theatre and play video games. There's nothing that I want to do that he can't see, I just think it's supposed to be a night away from that person.

I would go to one for someone else but I definitely wouldn't want to do this for myself. It kind of defeats the purpose to me. IMO

My FH and I want to do this but our bridal party is super against it. We'll probably both end up in Vegas but at different hotels.

I actually think that's a sweet idea! I'm dreading the idea of a bachelorette party because I'm not big with parties or drinking... I would be happy just watching a good movie and getting some good food lol

Mine was, actually! We started off separate, but then by the time 11 o'clock hit, the guys just came and hung out in our hotel room. It was actually kind of a blast because besides one bridesmaid, everybody that was in my BP had a SO in my husband's party. It was actually a blast. We had our solo girls time, and then it just became one big party.

We are going to be separated all day/dinner but later that night (say around 10pm) we'll meet for drinks. Nearly all of my girls are either married or in a relationship with his guys so it's not weird at all to any of us.. just a big bunch of friends celebrating our soon to be marriage that's how we see it

We are having our wedding an hour and a half away from where everyone lives so we are doing a combined Rehearsal Dinner and Wedding Party two weeks before so everyone knows where to go and what to do. This will be so much fun! There is a lake and we are going to play yard games and make it a competition like girls vs boys. BUT we do want to have some time with just our friends so when the girls go to get manis/pedis and whatever else we do, they will be at our house playing video games and screwing around. It is completely up to you and if anyone is 'upset' by this, then they don't have to come. They can do what they want for their own wedding

Were doing a joint, but it won't be coed. We're doing a weekend in Nola (I know destination bachelorette parties aren't super popular here, but all our girls are spread out across the country. Most people would be traveling no matter where it was). A lot of our girl friends are both of our friends, and my FW is veryyyy introverted and says if I did a separate one she probably wouldn't even have her own, so joint party!!

I'm not a fan. generally when i go out to parties or bars, FH is with me and its a lot of other couples. i like that the bachelorette party was an opportunity just to go out with my ladies.
