Thoughts on a stripper for bachelorette party

A few months ago, my sister said something about getting a stripper for my party and I wasn't to keen on the idea. I specifically told her I didn't want one and just yesterday, I find out she actually reserved one and is asking for all the girls to chip in. I'm a little irritated since she's not...

A few months ago, my sister said something about getting a stripper for my party and I wasn't to keen on the idea. I specifically told her I didn't want one and just yesterday, I find out she actually reserved one and is asking for all the girls to chip in. I'm a little irritated since she's not doing it for me, she's doing it for her and I don't know how to bring it up to her since I already made my thoughts on the matter fairly clear. Plus, she's a pretty dramatic person, and now she is a month pregnant which is exagerating how emotional she is. Is anyone else doing the stripper thing and if so, should I just give up and hope for the best or should I let her know that I'm not happy? And fyi, I only found out because 3 out of the 6 bridesmaids don't want to pay for the stripper, so I'm not the only one who isn't very happy with this situation.

    Eh, it's not my cup of tea, but I'm pretty sure my bachelorette party is going to be a 90s throwback sleepover where we wear pjs, watch 90s movies (Spiceworld, anyone?) and listen to boybands all night. That's what I'm hoping anyway. None of us are big drinkers and a couple are underage anyway so we'll probably get a hotel room and just be preteen girls again for a night.

    However, I am begging my FH's friends to get him a stripper for his bachelor party because I know how shy he is and how freaked out he'd be by that. I think it would be hilarious and I know nothing would go down because he won't even comment on other women with or without me around. The gms would have a blast though Smiley winking

    It is very disrepectful of her to force you to have be in the same room as a naked man when you don't want to be. I would just tell her plain and simple that it hurts you to know that she doesn't care about your feeling and, when the stripper comes, the girls who paid their share and her can stay in the room with the stripper while you and the other 3 girls go into another room. I would also suggest letting all of the BM's know that you do not want to be any where near the stripper and they are paying for thier own show.

    Wow I just had this fight with my own sister and FSIL i told both of them flat out that I do not want any strippers and if they got one or took me to a strip club I was going to be HIGHLY upset and leave where ever we are and that they would ruin MY night...this party is your night not your sisters or anyone else's if you don't want a stripper then she should be ok with that I would talk to the other BM's and tell them how you feel they may be able to get her to change her mind

    Tell her you don't want one; this party is for you. No matter who pays for it, it shouldn't happen unless you want it to happen.

    how about a chocolate fountain instead? LOL!

    Tell her to have her stripper at her baby shower if she wants one that bad.

    First Tell her NO Stripper, YOU don't want one at Your Party.

    Next Tell her You will leave if she doesn't.

    Third tell your ALL bridesmaids ( Including the ones that have said they would chip in) the Same thing and that if they don't want one they really really shouldn't pay for one.

    Fourth come up with a plan B for the Bridesmaids who don't want one so that you all can leave and still have REAL fun. not this gross ... thing.

    Fifth ACTUALLY do the Plan B if it is neccesary.

    It is official! I spoke to her last night and there will be no stripper at the party. She asked me to send her a list of ideas since they don't have anything else planned so I just worked on that this morning. The only catch is, she said if she can't have one at my party, then she wants one at an "after party" for her baby shower. She is such a weird person lol
