Thoughts on inviting non wedding party person to bachelorette weekend?

I always just thought that the bridal party goes to the bachelorette weekend and no one else, but when I went to a bachelorette party for another friend she also had a few other non party friends come out with us for the night on the town and it was so fun! I mean she only had 3 bridesmaids and there were like 8 of us total going out with her.


I have 7 bridesmaids and I wanted to go to Vegas for a weekend trip and I’m wondering if it would be weird or faux pa to invite any other people? My work bff expressed interest in going (kinda like a joke, but I know she would be really fun!) and now I’m thinking of inviting her to go but I don’t want it to be weird with my bridal party since they don’t know her? Should I just leave it as is with only my bridal party and not even think about this idea? What do y’all think? I’m still inviting her to the wedding too.

    You can invite whoever you'd like to the bachelorette party! It doesn't have to be just wedding party members. The only thing to make sure of, is that anyone who is invited to the bachelorette party should also be invited to the wedding. Also, don't discuss anything specific to the wedding party or give out wedding party gifts at the bachelorette party if you have non-wedding party members there. Otherwise, invite whoever you'd like!

    Oh good idea! I’ll save the gifts for the rehearsal dinner or morning of the wedding.

    It is common to invite more than just your bridal party on your bachelorette. I invited friends that were not members of our wedding party and I have been on bachelorette parties where I was not a member of the wedding party.

    You can definitely invite people outside of your wedding party to your bachelorette! We are doing a joint Bachelor/bachelorette weekend in Vegas and both sides of our wedding parties invited people outside of the WP. I believe there are 11 people going that are not in the WP

    Also while it is perfectly fine to include others as PPs have said, if someone is “hosting” the event , it is important to clear it with the host, in case they have any budget restrictions and can’t accommodate extras, or have already made plans contingent on the number of girls already invited

    As long as they're also invited to the wedding, I say go for it. Only half of the guests at my bachelorette party were bridal party members and we had a great time.

    I've talked about it briefly with my MOH and i plan on inviting about 4-6 people who aren't in the bridal party, they're cousins of either me or my FH
