Bachelorette Party Guests Help

[cutedisneygirly]

Ok, more wedding drama! My cousing (MOH) is planning the bachelorette party. We have invited some girls I went to school with, my best friend, another cousin and one more cousin who is 18 years old and my bridesmaid. My aunt is concerned that we are not inviting the 18yo's sister who is 15. She is worried there will be hurt feelings, and she thinks that since the 18yo can't drink anyways, why shouldn't we invite the 15yo. She is the youngest cousin of the bunch.

My view is that although there really won't be much drinking, it is still an adult party, and some of the gifts are probably going to be of an adult nature (knowing some of the girls from school). We are going to dinner and then mini golfing/lazer tag and who knows what else is planned (I am not allowed to know all details).

So, is my view that she should not be invited right, or do you think we should invite her so there will be no hurt feelings?

I don't think it will really be that big of deal if you don't invite the 15yo. Just explain that this party is for adults only 18+ and that someday she will understand. If she has expressed hurt feelings then talk to her directly, but if its just your aunt being concerned I would not worry too much about it. I have this problem in my family where everyone tries to make a big deal out of things that are not really that important. I would just go along with your original plan.

I think 15 is too young for a bachelorette party, considering the topics and gifts that can be found at a typical bachelorette party.

Unless the 15-year old wants to learn something...

I agree! 15 is too young and you don't want to censor your bachelorette party...that is half the fun!

In your case, don't invite the 15 yr old. You will prolly get grinched at for not inviting her, but that's nothing compared to what you would get if some of those gifts get opened!! I was taken to a risque wedding shower when I was a kid, and I think I'm still warped!

I'm doing a Girls Night Out - all my women in my family and friends are going out for Rainforest Cafe and shopping at Downtown Disney. We'll have kids with us, so we'll keep it clean.

bachelorette parties are not reeally appropriate for 15 y/o girls! We had this same argument when I was in a wedding last year, and the 15 y/o got invited, and it played out like this- went from bachelorette party to dinner at a resteraunt and then slumber party. Fun YES Bachelorette party NOOOOO so we ended up having to throw a SECOND bachelorette party, and it was just silly.


Dont invite her. She will understandw hen she is older.
