Yes I am Matron of Honor in a friends wedding in Aug. (perfect timing I will be down at least 80 lbs by then maybe more) I am planning a batchelorette party. I would like to have fun with this so I figured I would have the 4 in the bridal party pay for a 4 day cruise next summer. Well one of the girls hated the idea and said" why dont we just go drinking" She told me to be the designated driver! So let me ask you, would you do this knowing that they can get drunk and you cant, doesnt sound like too much fun to me especially since I live clear across state and if I did do this I would not know where I would be going. So when I told the woman that declined the cruise idea that I wasnt thrilled she told me then maybe I should step down....What the hell, I have known the bride the longest, no way, so any Ideas on what to do that doesnt involve drinking?

I was at my neice's bachlorette party and there were another group of girls who were having one too. They dressed as different Barbies. They were pretty cute.. there was a Dr. Barbie,schoolgirl Barbie, bride Barbie,
vet Barbie,any Barbie doll that is around can become a party Barbie.
My neices party was cowboys....everybody wore cowboy stuff, but not as cute as the barbies. Peggy

how about a slumber party? We did this for my sister and it turned out great. I am not sure if you know what that is but I will add the website and I hope I do not offend anyone by it! Just a fun thing for the girls and eventually for the hubby's to enjoy! slumberparties.com

On the party subject. May I suggest that maybe you rent adjoining hotel rooms locally. that way nobody has to drive. It could be that this person can't afford the trip and is embarrassed to admit it. Most baccelorette parties involve alcohol, so that is going to be expected. Drinking is an individual decision,so just try to bear it for the bride to be....... She is counting on you to make this enjoyable and memorable. Don't forget it's all about her.Just keep on smiling and it will all be over before you know it................ hope this helps.
