Younger Sisters @ the Bachelorette Party

Brandah, on May 11, 2014 at 10:44 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 1 26

Okay, so both of my younger sisters (ages 14 and 18) are two of my bridesmaids. My MOH and other bridesmaids have planned out things to do for my bachelorette party that I would not want my sisters to be around for. I just dont feel like it is appropriate for them to be there. Nor do I feel like I would let loose and have a good time. When talking to mom about it she doesnt think it is right for me to leave them out. Has anyone else run into this problem?

Do I do something seperate with them without my other bridesmaids?

    Have a nice luncheon with your sisters - just them so they feel special and included.

    I agree a bachelorette party is not appropriate for teenagers if anything based on the fact that they cannot drink and cannot get into clubs with you and your friends if you plan on doing the club thing.

    Are you going out to dinner first? Could they come (maybe with your mom) to dinner and then go home afterwards?

    I think going out to dinner as a group would be a great way to include them.

    Maybe have your MOH mention to the older girls that PG-rated gifts are welcome too. That way, you can open a few gifts (like lotion or robes) in front of them, but save opening the risqué ones for after they leave with mom.

    1. Maybe u can do something with just u and your sisters.

    2. Maybe yall all can just do something early that day. That way they can still fill included with the rest of the girls.

    I understand how u feel.

    My 14 year old sister is my MOH. She knew from day 1 she would not be part of the bachelorette activities. They are old enough to understand. My sister is cool with it.

    I'm doing things that my sister can be included in. My bachelorette party doesn't need to have strippers, penis shaped objects or an obscene amount of alcohol. It was more important to have my sister be a part of everything

    I am planning on having a "part 1" and a "part 2" as my junior bridesmaid (FH niece) is only 10 years old. I want her included in all the bridesmaid events, but obviously nothing that would be inappropriate. so my MOH is working on a daytime activity that all the sister in laws and my niece can come to, and then an evening event which will be just for the adults and close friends I feel comfortable letting loose around.

    My sister married when I was 17. I wasn't invited to the bachelorette party and I was cool with that.

    My future srepdaughter is one of my bridesmaids. She is 13 and she understands she will not be part of the bachelorrtte party. She feels included in other ways.

    My MOH is my sister who's 19. If I had a BM who was 14, I would definitely not allow her to be apart of the events, but my sister is planning everything and taking part in it all. She's just going to be DD and we're only going to clubs that anyone over 18 can get into. 18 really isn't that young, in my opinion, so I wouldn't have a problem with her being involved in whatever was going on.

    My 13 and 15 year old sisters are two of my bridesmaids. I'm having my bridal shower and bach party on the same day so they'll go to the shower (Where they can wear their bridesmaid sashes which is really what they're most excited about at that age) and to dinner with me and my friends and then they'll get dropped off at home and the rest of us will commence the R rated part of my bach party (not that I plan on getting out of hand but I don't cuss, drink or discuss adult topics in front of my little sisters. They know I do these things but they also know its not age appropriate for them to be around it). Everyone has been very understanding about it including them.

    Yeah, I don't see the problem with the 18 year old, unless the clubs won't let her in, the other one, of course not.

    You have a right to enjoy your night...

    But think about your sisters' feelings and see if they can take part in a part of the evening.

    Invite them to dinner but they shouldn't be hanging around late night. Bachelorettes are not intended for teens and you deserve to let loose. Honestly my sister is 23 and I still couldn't let loose at my bachelorette with her there.

    I have 5 "younger" girls in my bridal party and we decided to do a seperate party for them. We are going to a local pottery painting studio that has a party room, where you can bring in your own food, drink and cake.

    My 19 year older sister is in my bridal party and she'll do dinner with us beforehand and completely understands she can't go out drinking with us.

    My 19-year-old sister is my MOH, and my 13-year-old future sister-in-law is a bridesmaid. For my bachelorette party we will be watching a chick flick, painting our nails for the wedding, and eating chocolate...more a low-key evening to hang out and have fun and relax a couple days before the wedding than a party. That's what I wanted, so I am happy my sister is planning that kind of party.

    I agree, maybe go to lunch, nails, and shopping with your sisters before the bachelorette evening festivities. That way they feel included because they helped you "get ready" and they got to hang out with you.

    I think its completely understandable and reasonable to not have your younger sisters there.

    My 20 year old sister knew from day 1 that she could not do the bachelorette party with me because we are going to new orleans. She was totally ok with that. I think you just have to explain it to them.

    On an unrelated note, my computer is telling me that I spelled "bachelorette" wrong but when I went to correct it, the only option is gave me was "Bachelor." lol sorry just thought that was random.

    I also have a younger sister. We are just doing "parts" to the bachelorette party. The younger ones can come to activities such a getting nails done, or lunch, or dinner and then they can go home while you go out with the older ladies Smiley smile
