Bachelorette Party Faux Pas
Some bachelorette party ideas are fun, memorable and sassy and sometimes lead to a crazy night or unforgettable weekend. You don’t want to mortify your friends or ruin the party though by acting inappropriately.
Four faux pas to keep in mind are do not:
1. Get too drunk
Party shot glasses and flirty martini glasses are fun bachelorette party accessories; however, they’re not meant for drinking competitions and blacking out. Moderate your drinking so that you’re not too intoxicated to function.
2. Make it all about you
The party is in honor of the bride-to-be. Avoid talking too much about your bachelorette party, your wedding or your husband. Also, don’t demand attention by being the life of the party or partying too hard. Enjoy yourself but remember that the focus is on the bride.
3. Mortify the bride
It is tradition and fun to embarrass the bride with silly games and gag gifts. Keep your bride’s personality in mind though, in case hiring a male stripper, for instance, is overwhelming and offensive to the bride. Also, account for certain guests. Opening a racy gift in front of certain relatives may not be appropriate.
4. Leave the bride with the bill
Bachelorette parties or weekends can become expensive. It’s not one person’s responsibility to pay for the entire extravaganza; however, you should never leave the hotel bill or the bar tab with the bride. Discuss ahead of time with your friends, and even the bride, how the price of the party should be split.
