Bachelorette parties are not where you get together at someone's house and get gifts for the home anymore. Bachelorette parties are getting as wild as the men's bachelor party if not more. It is usually the bridesmaid that plans the party for her bride to be. The girls get together and plan a special night out for them to let loose before the big day.

Some women have set it up where they start out at home and give gifts for the bride to enjoy with her husband…some naughty and some not but most are gag gifts. Then afterwards they go out and bar hops around town and hire someone to drive them. Many decide on a limousine to do the driving if it is affordable. They may get to one bar where they have hired a surprise and male dancers show up to give the women a show of their own. This is up to the establishment so make sure you check first if it is ok to bring them along. Some close down a small local bar for this.

Other women just have a small get together at home and hire the stripper to come there. Some other ideas are where you can get a party going and entwine it with a romantic party where the girls can buy romantic gifts for themselves or the couple.

Some couple has even had the bachelorette and bachelor party together. Some like this idea and some do not. You could hire a DJ and give out gag gifts and sexy lingerie. This is a safer method than having strippers for both at the same party. This is entirely up to the couple. Some brides to be do not like seeing a half naked girl mauling on their soon to be hubby and same goes for the groom. This could start trouble and has been known to have many weddings called off.

When you plan a bachelorette party, you must consider the guests that are going to be there. Some mothers or grandmothers may not approve of a stripper or a lot of drinking. Decide if you want to have just a girl's night out and then have a family party that is more appropriate for mothers and grandmothers to attend. You do not want to have bad feelings before the wedding. Check it out because some may like it.

No matter what you decide, you want to make it memorable and fun for the bride and her friends. You want to have fun but embarrassing the bride may not be fun to her so be careful on how you reminisce about the bride to be if you have known her for years. Most important make it safe and do not drink and drive. You want to use your imagination when planning it and if you need more help, you can always find a party planner to help you. The bachelorette party is fun with gag gifts and the bridal shower is more gifts giving for the home and couple.
