A bachelorette party is a party held for a woman who is about to be married. Many different kinds of entertainment are selected,
depending on what the organizers think will best please their guest of honor. While notions of a bachelorette party as a night
of drunken debauchery persist in some social circles, bachelorette parties are becoming widely seen in America as an opportunity for female bonding.
When held in a private venue, such as the hostess's home, the party may take any form that pleases the hostesses and honors the bride-to-be.
Dinners and cocktail parties, which provide comfortable opportunities for participants to talk or to give intimate advice to the bride-to-be,
are common. Other hostesses choose a themed bachelorette party, such as a "pamper party," with guests indulging in spa treatments, or a cooking class.
While proposing a toast to the bride-to-be is common at most bachelorette parties, some center on drinking games and host male strip-pers.
Some bachelorette parties take place in public venues, such as a restaurant or bar. Some bachelorette parties are bar tours. On occasion, some bachelorette parties are
organized as holidays to destinations such as
Las Vegas Nevada,
Miami Florida,
or other party cities. Pole Dancing Classes are becoming a very popular bachelorette party theme.
Dinners and cocktail parties, which provide comfortable opportunities for participants to socially talk or to give intimate advice to each other,
are common. Others choose a themed Girls' Night "In" party, such as a "pamper party," with guests indulging in spa treatments, or a new trend is
for hosted
adult toy
parties where women share the experience of learning about
intimate adult toys and games.
According to etiquette expert Peggy Post, "Whatever bachelorette party entertainment is planned, it should not embarrass, humiliate, or endanger the
honoree or any of the guests."
A bachelorette party is typically hosted by one or more members of the wedding party, although it is possible for any friend to host a party in honor
of the bride-to-be. Formally, a party in honor of the bride-to-be is never hosted by the bride-to-be, although she may participate in its planning.
While it is normally the duty of a hostess to pay for the entertainment she gives her guests, it is common for participants to share the costs of this event.
Whether the bride-to-be pays her share, or whether her share is divided between other participants is something to be determined by the organizers and
the bride-to-be during the early stages of the bachelorette party planning process.
