Bachelor/Bachelorette party
Guys' (or gals') last night out together as singles
Return to articles index | Limousines

The get-together known as the "bachelor party" or "stag party", usually organized
by the best man, has recently been joined by a female counterpart known as the bachelorette party.
Like the bachelor party, the bacherlorette party has become a celebration of the end
of "being single" and usually includes the immediate wedding party and very close friends
of the bride or groom. The maid of honor usually coordinates the event.
Be creative when planning your party. Many local
businesses have suggestions that guarantee a night to remember. A
room in a restaurant, a hotel or a spa suite are popular party locations
because they allow you to fully enjoy yourselves without disturbing
other guests. Bar hopping or nightclubs with comedy or live entertainment
are other popular choices. And while you're out enjoying the evening,
avoid any problems with drinking and driving by treating yourself
to a night out in a limousine.

For a party at home, video movie rentals or comedygrams
can provide fun and memorable entertainment. Wherever your party is
held, you can cater it yourself with prepared trays and "just heat
and serve" entrees from local specialty stores or caterers. The bachelor
or bachelorette party sometimes takes the form of a shower, with the
bride or groom receiving small gifts. Lingerie, gag gifts, or things
to use on the honeymoon are popular themes for this type of party.
The bachelor or bachelorette party should be a fun
and memorable evening for the bride or groom and their friends. Be
sure it is tailored to suit the style and personality of the guest
of honor. And be sure to preserve the evening in pictures. These party
pictures will create an album of laughs that will last long after
the party's over.
This party is best held a week or two before the
wedding, certainly not the night before. You want to be fresh to enjoy your
wedding day.
