Who else did not want to do a whole bachelorette weekend?

View Quoted Comment The idea of a bachelor or bachelorette party is totally illogical, so I hear you. I told my FH that if we are single, he needs to let me know because I'm missing out on a lot of side piece action. This was my snarky response to his stupid definition of the bachelor party being a last night of being single. He took the point. Also, if you're marrying someone who is somehow going to prevent you from having future fun with friends...might wanna reconsider that...😂.

Celebrating your pending marriage (which is centered upon love and commitment and usually monogamy) by inviting naked women into the mix makes even less sense. Lots of these wedding things make zero sense to me.

I don't care if I even get a bachelorette. I'm really not a big party person and prefer the comfort of home

I told my bridesmaids that I would prefer a simple dinner and drinks rather then a bachelorette party. I don't need to go all wild and crazy, I did that in my 20s and that's simply isn't me anymore.

View Quoted Comment I think that is more of the tv version.
Mine is to celebrate with what men I care about the next chapter of my life. No overly drunk people, no naked people , no drugs. Just a dinner out and making nice paintings.

If we even have one it's going to be one night only. Maybe rent a hotel room to crash but no way a weekend getaway.

I did go on a bachelorette float trip though. There were 30 guys and gals camping and floating for the weekend. It was fun minus getting sun poisoning.

Maybe, but my FH and his friends have a "tradition" of attending a strip club. I suggested perhaps that might work with someone else, but that if he needed to celebrate his pending marriage to me, it won't involve naked women. The two ideas do not logically connect.

What my sister did was just have a mini get together in their hotel room the night before the wedding.

I’m doing an overnight in NYC. Planning on getting dinner, seeing a show, browsing the stores. I don’t want a traditional bachelorette with bar hopping and drinking for an entire weekend

I wanted a simple night IN! My friends all got together with booze and food and we hung out at a friends house in our leggings/sweat shirts.

I by far prefer one day or one evening outings for most bachelorette parties. Except for something like camping, or staying at a lakefront cottage, very close to home with no travel and low cost, I pretty much refuse longer ones now as a friend or when in the wedding party. Even when I was single. I went to a huge number of single day and evening ones before this mini vacation trend. Better by far, for me. I have been to 6 I day or one evening ones these summer, and still have 2 others in Sept. And October. I have spent $30 to $80 on each. I have turned down going to 3 at a cost of $450-$1100 ( what people who went paid) for 3-4 day trips. My husband has been to 2, skipped 2 that we're weekends requiring travel, and went to on local boating and poker at a lake weekend. What with giving showers, shower and wedding gifts, for all the weddings I have been to of my family and friends, and 2 wedding gifts us 3 bach and wedding gifts for hubby's friends or family, I cannot possibly consider spending hundreds, and multiple 3-4 day trips away from my husband and 5 kids. Like destination weddings, they don't seem like a good time, to spend a lot of money on a vacation I never want in a place I do not want to be with people who are fine for 6 hours, but never a multi-days vacation.

Nope, me and girlfriend went out to bar to listen to live music, share some pizza and we were home by 10:30, I think!!!! If I were invited now, or had been invited back in the day, to an ENTIRE weekend? Hard pass - sounds like the inner portal of you know where to me!

Same here! We are doing a girls night out. To me a weekend trip was not necessary but nothing against the people who choose to do that.

I didn't want a whole weekend. We are getting our nails done during the day and then at night we are going to a craft bar to drink cocktails and do string art. I wanted something fun but relaxing.

I myself like the idea of just one night. I have two young children (10 and 6 year old) I wouldn’t be able to sleep if I’m not with them.

No weekend here, we are doing a co bachelor /bachelorette get together with some dinner, hotel greene putt putt and some pool, one night only a week before the wedding

We just had games and dinner at Dave & Buster's.

I did want a 4 day stay in Vegas but when it finally came down to planning it all, no one could make that happen, including myself, financially. I settled for Mexican food, margaritas and a comedy show. Just because other people do it doesn't mean it's tradition or anything you have to do. Don't feel cheated by doing your bachelorette party Your Way. As long as you and your guests have a great time, that's really all that matters. 😁

My bridesman tried to do a whole weekend, and I had to put a kibosh on that.

Not only did I not want to go away from FH for that long, I *work* weekends, and my bridesman knows that.

We did a simple night out and had a lot of fun. We were hopeful to do a whole day thing, but schedules did not line up, so we'll have fun later.

Honestly, my MOH/sister is the only one in my wedding party who drinks. Drinking makes me sick (even half of a wine cooler), my other bridesmaid doesn't drink at all, and my 2 daughters are way too young to be drinking. So we'll probably just have a girls night in on the night before the wedding. I was planning on getting a hotel room the night before the wedding anyways and we'll most likely order pizza or Chinese (or both lol), watch movies and eat junk food. Nothing too fancy or anything

Nope, not me... Actually having a joint bach/bachlorette party at 6 flags over Texas. Should be a lot of fun
