I’ve been to both, and personally I prefer a traditional bachelorette party. How often do you get to have that much fun with just your girlfriends? Those are memories I will never forget.

Need some fun bachelorette party ideas?

Never saw the need for either, especially with what they've become. Why do people need strippers or worse? That seems so totally sleazy.

It gives you a chance to think about a life long agreement, If you can't be trusted for a last fling, what are you going to do for the rest of your life.

Ruining a tradition, and possibly a horrible idea, but cool

If you can't even trust each other to go out and have fun without cheating then should you really be getting married?

Whichever works for the couple getting married is the way to go.

What's with the obsession with bachelor/bachelorette parties anyway? I'd much rather get a big group of mutual friends together and go out with everyone. Besides, why encourage infidelity? I agree with what Melody said in the top comment.

This is not a trend or a new thing in any way. Co-ed parties are also a tradition. Most of my friends had them in the 1980's.

Well most my best friends are male, and I'm not. So if one of them was to get married I'd certainly like to celebrate it with him, I mean since when could our closest friends only be of the same gender?

Oh come on guys will do guy things girls girl things and I don't want to have my guy doing my things (He'd be outted) and I'm sure I don't want to see him doing his things unless I'm the girl jumping out of the cake...and I'm not much into that.

I have never had one, been to one, or even been invited to one so I have no idea what really happens there. I like parties where everyone is uninhibited and just has a good time. That is what a party is for.

I went to a bachelorette party for a friend I worked with, who happened to be a lesbian. Since they were going to a strip club (where the dancers were women) afterwards, I really had no interest in that part of it. Although to be honest, I'm not really keen on watching male strippers either. I always get more embarrassed than aroused.

reply
Nonpart... to RoseyRhod 2012/07/30 02:04:18

I guess I would not be too interested in it if that is all they are about. I have never been to a strip club and have no interest in going to one. I prefer anything sexual to be personal between two consenting adults, not a strip club.

Many a marriage has ended before the exchange of vows was ever completed! Infidelity prior to marriage is inexcusable and before someone goes of on one for my using the term infidelity can (and more damagingly) be of no more than the mind/heart. Physical contact doesn't have to (though some does typically happen) happen at these smut fests for grievous cheating to have occurred.

Just because there is societal/friend/"tradition" (whose tradition btw?) to do these parties and "well, both sides are having one anyway" don't constitute justification for either side to throw one. Matthew 5:28 makes it pretty clear "But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart."

Grace to you, Glory to God!

In my society, we don't do such things, so it's all a little weird to me.

It's their choice what they decide to do, but personally I would rather have a night on the town with the boys before I get married. Actually, now that I think about it, most of my friends are women. Maybe it should be co-ed? Whatever, each to their own.

It's not worth feeling guilty about afterwards. I'd rather spend time with my SO or do something completely unrelated with my friends. Also, I'm lesbian, but not all of my friends are. So would we hire men or women? Awkward... and we could think of more fun activities to do.

RoseyRhod to Bibliop... 2012/07/30 01:56:41

If the sun were ever to rise in the North and set in a hole in the ground, I will get married again. And I'd rather, even though some would think it lame, have a party where we just played silly games and talked.
I guess my brother's bachelor party consisted of getting absolutely sh*t faced and nothing else. He was completely hung over during his wedding.

it's just a lame excuse to make bad decisions ...so you're not married YET but if you enjoy being single then stay that way...if you love the person and can't see yourself being without that person why not include them for a fun night out

reply
RoseyRhod to VintageLys 2012/07/30 01:57:40

I think it's okay to have a night with your friends, but not doing some of the things people seem to see the need to do. Like hiring strippers, or worse, prostitutes.

Bachelor Parties, and Bachelorette parties are wrong. I would not marry someone who wanted to spend one of his last "free" nights looking at another woman naked.

Um....
Don't women want their own friends to be by their side before the wedding?
To talk, gossip and relax all the wedding jitters?
It like the last time when you are going to be single and not be with your friends much since you will be occupied with your new married life. No more single life and just hanging out with ur girlfriends and talk about men.
Guys would want their own space. But I guess they would want to know what their woman talk about when they are not there?
It should be up to the bride and groom.
Not women that hasn't been married or not been to a bachelorette.

I don't think I could stand being given a lap dance by a male striper, my face would be SO red.

RoseyRhod to ♌βļąƈʞƦ... 2012/07/30 02:00:02

Yeah, that's how I feel about it. A co-worker had a stripper for her baby shower, of all things. Nothing untoward happened, but when that guy gave me a lap dance, I was not aroused, I was so embarrassed. I spent the whole time giggling like an idiot, and it wasn't because I was turned on. It isn't that he was bad looking or anything, and he seemed like a really cool guy. But that was too intimate of contact with someone I hardly knew.
