   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. bachelor and bachelorette at the same party!
    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.
