Sorry, this is much longer than I had anticipated...
My sis is getting married in about a month. This is her second marriage and she''s been divorced for right at a year. I offered to host a Stock the Bar Party in lieu of an actual Bridal Shower since she really just had a shower 3 yrs ago. They don''t need a new mixer, but they would love some nice glassware and acc. However, sis has decided that she should also have a bachelorette party. This threw me for a loop because I definitely don''t consider her a bachelorette. But, I do want to have a party that she''ll really love. SOO, we have to do all of the festivities on one day due to some out of towners.
The event will start at 3pm (to accommodate the male half of the couples who will be paintballing that day). Per my sis''s request, the Bachelorette portion will come first, followed by a Couples Stock the Bar followed by a night out of drinking. This isn''t my ideal setup but I''m trying to make it work. We will have approx 3.5 hrs to entertain the women before the men arrive. We will obviously be providing food and beverage and I''m afraid this is going to turn into a drunk fest with all of these young women. I need game ideas that will be fun and perhaps keep them from getting wasted before the men arrive. Additionally, because there is planned excessive drinking for most of the women, we will have to stay at one location (sis''s house) because I will not be responsible for drunk driving.
I think Bachelorette party games as well as regular Bridal Shower games would be appropriate since it''s a mixed event. ANY game ideas are welcome! But, we are limited to being indoors unless Snowmen are part of the plan! The ladies range in age from 20-24 and then there''s a couple of us "old" women who are 30 and my mom. (mom would not be offended by any game, so don''t let that deter your creativity)
I''ve only been to one bachelorette party (they''re not really done in this area) and it ended with a stripper''s broken nose, so I''m at quite a loss for this portion.
btw-I know I''m coming off pretty sour about the whole thing. I planned a lovely event that started with pedis, followed by getting a private room at a great restaurant where we could do some bachelorette things, fancy bar drinks, and ended with the couples portion. My sis said it was "way too old." I also planned the STB portion first and a scavenger hunt about town after for the ladies. That''s when I was informed about the planned drinkfest. I even planned a raunchy, trashy party and that was also turned down.
TIA for any suggestions!
