Mom @ Bachelorette?

Allyson, on August 17, 2019 at 11:50 PM Posted in Parties and Events 0 43
My mom asked me if she is invited to my bachelorette party... is this normal? I was under the impression that your bachelorette is something that your MOH and bridesmaids throw for you. We don't have any other older women in our family, so it would be just my mom with a bunch of young girls all day, and I feel like she would probably feel awkward or left out. My mom and I are close and I feel really bad because when I told her that it was just bridesmaids for the bachelorette, she got offended. Are you guys inviting your mom to your bachelorette? Do you think I should invite her?

    We started the night with my mom. We did dinner and a few cocktails. She dipped out after dessert and we started bar-hopping.

    My late mom was pretty awesome, the "cool" mom, so I would have definitely invited her. I have never been to one where there was a mom at, but I think if you want her there you should invite her.

    My mom has already invited herself to an event that hasn’t yet been planned. I don’t have any issue with it. We’re all adults and she knows how to have a good time.

    Since the traditional bachelorette party involves strippers, I seriously doubt it's traditional to invite your mom.

    I think it depends on if you want her there and what you’re doing. If you were having a paint and wine party I wouldn’t see the issue, if you’re going to bars and strip clubs probably not.

    My mom is cool and loves to go bar hopping and gets along with my friends, so she's coming! She was there for my 21st birthday and it was an absolute blast 😂 For some, it might not be normal, but if you want her there and if both of you know you'll be comfortable and have fun, I'd say go for it!!

    I don't think it's the norm. It's usually a bunch of strippers and boozing.

    I think it’s totally up to you! We went wine touring and then had a sleepover at a local air bnb for mine, and my mom’s not really a partier OR drinker, so she didn’t come. But if you think that both you and your mom would enjoy your plans, why not? Or maybe have her along for part of them? Traditionally, moms come to the bridal shower and it’s younger women only at the bachelorette party. But. Your choice!

    Totally up to you! We did dinner, and wine and paint, and a piano bar. Both my mom and FMIL came. At the same time, FH did axe throwing and breweries as a bachelor party and he had both dads there. Neither of us are big partners, and we are close to our families so it was the obvious choice

    Typically I think they aren’t normally invited. That being said it definitely depends on the relationship you have with her. I threw my best friend a bachelorette party and because of their relationship her mom was invited, and also was the DD for the bus we rented. I think it depends, because although if my best friends mom came to my bachelorette party it wouldn’t be weird but if my mom came I’d find it awkward.

    Hmm that’s tough. My mom definitely won’t be at mine, but I am also not very close with my mom in that way. I guess it all depends on what you’re doing and if you’d want her there or not... I’d imagine if she’s really the only older woman in your family that might be part of why she feels left out/ offended because there’s no one else for her to relate to.. maybe if your on the fence about it have your MOH or whoever is planning your bachelorette go over the details of what you’ll be doing at your bachelorette with her and let her decide if she wants to come? Or as someone mentioned above have her join for some activities but maybe not all so that way you still have time with your friends.

    I've been to bachlorette parties where the mothers are invited but most of them they are not. It is a personal preference. I did not invute my mom to mine, I'm not that close with her and it was def not her seen. She wouldnt of wanted to come but my MIL seemed offended that she was not invited..

    I didn't have a bachelorette party but if I did I wouldn't have thought twice about my mom coming. She a bit of a stick in the mud so I'm not sure if she would have wanted to be invited

    I think it depends on what you are doing and your relationship with her.

    It really depends on your mom. Is she cool? Would she have fun? Is it okay if she hears someone tell a story from your party days?

    I think it depends on each individual relationship. It never used to be normal, but lots of brides now have their moms invited if the Bach will be something mom would enjoy. Really, it’s up to you if you’d like her to attend or not
