The Bachelorette Party

Was a hoot! The strippers were terrible... I suggested we tip them to put on their clothes.... or take up a collection for a down payment for new career classes at AIU. I stayed out of thong reach.

Since I didn't know the bride all that well, I got her a gift certificate at a very upper-scale boutique that has delicate lingerie and other feminine dainties. Would you believe she said, "Is this all you got me?"

Then to top it off, the maid-of-honor went around with a cup and asked for donations. I'm sorry but if the bridemaids are hosting the party, it's up to them to fund it.

That's the last time I'm going to a party just because I know a friend of a friend. If you don't have enough friends to invite to make a party worthwhile and you have to import strangers, then you don't need to have a party. Hell, go out with the few friends you have. That's what I would do, if it were me and I didn't have a lot of friends who wanted to do a big bachelorette party. I think it would be more fun to be around a few close friends than a bunch of strangers.
