WOULD IT BE OK IF I DO MY BRIDAL SHOWER AND BACHELOR-ED PARTY THE SAME DAY??

Question

FOR EXAMPLE MY BRIDAL SHOWER COULD BE EARLY IN THE DAY LIKE LETS SAY 4:00 - 8:00 AND THEN WHEN THE OLDER PEOPLE LEAVE THEN I COULD BE ON MY WAY TO MY BACHELOR-ED PARTY DOES THAT SOUND GOOD ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS?

Answer 1

i think thats a great idea

just bring an extra set of close because im sure you wont want to wear and older people appropriate would be a fun outfit to party in

congratulations :)

Answer 2

I have been to an event like this.  The key is to make sure that you leave at least a two hour break between the two events so that 1) you don't end up with lingering people that are too young/old for the bachelorette portion (or getting a reduced bachelorette party), 2) you give people time to change their clothes/get money/eat if they need to/etc, and 3) you don't expect people to do anything/be anywhere for the wedding for a couple of days afterward.  

Answer 3

That sounds like a perfectly fine idea. As long as you can handle it cuz it's gonna be a long day. But sounds like a great time. Enjoy!!

Answer 4

We did that for my best friends parties. It worked great we went to the bridal shower 2-5 and then had the bachelorette party start at 8:30. We were all drunk and passed out by about 2 any ways. We just had a s*x toy party and drank at the MOH house.

Her hubby to be had his party the same night...we made sure she wasn't allowed to text or call him. Also every time she said his name or any one else said his name it was a shot.  

Answer 5

Your wedding and the preparations leading up to it, should be as fun and stress free as possible.  If it suits you to have your bridal shower and bachelorette party on the same day, then do it.

Have fun.

Answer 6

Do you mean having your bridal shower and Bachelorette party on the same day?  I guess you could, especially if you have folks travelling to attend.  It's your wedding and your party....do what you want.

Answer 7

I think you might be up for it, but your bridesmaids that would be throwing you both celebrations might not want to cram that all in one day.

My mom and I just threw my sister a bridal shower, it was a luncheon that ended around 4, and we were exhausted by the time we cleaned up, etc, that was well before 8 pm.  After doing all the work of cleaning, preparing the food, playing hostess and cleaning up, I would NOT be in the mood to go out a celebrate anymore that same day.

As the bride, you might be up for it after the excitement of the shower, but you also have to consider the hard work your bridesmaids will be putting into both events.

Sorry if you don't like that answer, but that's just my opinion from bridesmaid/hosting experience.

Answer 8

1.  Please turn off the caps.

2.  It is a bachelorette party, not bachelor-ed.

3.  If you are the bride, you are definitely not involved in the planning of the bachelorette party or the bridal shower.  Please leave that to your hostesses.

My standard answer regarding #3?

You have the bridal shower when it is convenient for your hostess or hostesses.

Showers are hosted by bridesmaids, aunts, cousins, coworkers, godmothers, and other assorted friends and relatives. They are NOT hosted by bride or her mother.

While bride may provide hostess with a suggested guest list if requested, a polite bride is not involved in the planning of bridal showers.

Showers are held anywhere from 8 weeks before the wedding . . . to just before the wedding. Most showers I have attended were held 3 0r 4 weeks before the wedding.

Any parties held before the wedding (bridal showers, engagement parties, bachelorette parties) are hosted by others . . . not hosted by bride. Since they are not hosted by bride, she does not concern herself with them at all. She leaves the planning to her hostess.

Many brides do not have any of these parties. They manage to survive, and they go on to have perfectly lovely weddings. If no one hosts a party for you, then you do not get one.

I suggest that all brides leave the planning of pre-wedding parties to others . . . and concentrate on planning the wedding and reception.

4.  I agree with Muffin, who responded above.  It is too much to ask your hostesses to do all that in one day.  Please be a polite bride, and leave all planning to the hostess or hostesses.
