Ideas needed for Bachelorette Party

Can any one help me figure out what to tell my maid of honor to do for my send off. I do not want the traditional style of things, no male strippers (most are gay). Please help me someone.

How about a slumber party with your favourite girls?

Oh there are loads of things that you can do. For mine, I had about 10 girlfriends (mostly the wedding party, plus a few), get together at my parents house. And we hired a bellydancer to come out and give us lessons. I think it was really fun and I think everyone enjoyed themselves. And you can't forget the chocolate martinis.

I have also heard of people doing that, but with stripper lessons. It's gotta be fun.

Others that I have been on were more low-key, like just dinner out with all the girls.

Or, rent a bus and fill it with as many people as possible and go out and get rowdy drunk.

It all depends on what you like to do. Some other things that I considered (cuz I DID NOT want to dress up with a sash and tiara!) were pottery lessons, were each person would decorate a dish to make up my "china". And I forget what the other one was, but something similar and low-key.

thats a cute idea Heather! It would be fun to rent a nice room somewhere and get room service and hit up the lobby bar!

I was talking about just the usual good old innocent slumber party

I think for mine I'm hoping to do a cottage weekend with a bunch of girls. It'll be like a 2-night slumber party where we can go to the beach during the day and eat yummy food and have fun at night!

This is what we are doing: PoleLaTeaz : Atlanta's Best Pole Dance, Lapdance, Striptease and Sensual Dance Classes I don't know if this something you would like. Plan something around what you enjoy doing.

I'm doing the slumber party thing too! Were making it a "girls night in" and having drinks and games. It is definitely a low budget party - I didnt want my girls spending more money when they are already paying to come to the wedidng! A few ideas -

Have games that arent "traditional". No one is making a toilet paper wedding dress, but we will have a Sex and the City trivia game with good prizes (we all love that show).

Rather than having a lingerie shower, we are having a game where everyone gets 5 $1 bills when they get to the party. Each dollar counts as a vote, and the guests can contribute as much as they want over the $5 we give them (the invitations say something like "no gifts, but bring some small bills for a fun game"). There will be 3 or 4 lingerie outfits (ones you wouldnt normally buy) and the girls get to vote on which they like the best by putting their dollars into the corresponding jars. Whichever outfit gets the most votes (dollars) is the one I have to buy. The outfits are going to be like a sexy maid or something - dress up outfits that are kinda silly but still fun. All the extra votes/money has to be used on other honeymoon lingerie as well - but it can be regular teddies and such. We are doing this so no one has to feel bad if they cant afford to by a gift. They can still play and whoever can afford extra "votes" can contribute money without feeling they are just giving me an envelope of money.

For my friends party that I'm throwing, we are going to a drag show. If you've never been, they are a party and so much fun

But I agree - do something you like doing!

My sis was thinking of a wine party with lingerie gifts. I like that!

I don't like the stripper thing either so I think as long as there is some alcohol involved, you should have a blast.

OMG - I just realized that with the wording - "no gifts, but bring some small bills for a fun game" - people might think there's going to be a stipper! Crap!!!
