Of course bachelor and bachelorette parties are heterosexual traditions but they’re also a really good time—and another excuse for a party. In my experience planning tons of gay weddings, couples who are more settled tend not to have these parties, while couples that are starting out often do.
Being a same-sex couple can mean that you have a joint party or two separate parties. If you have separate groups of friends, separate parties are generally the way to go. But if your friends are merged, then I like a big party.
I have two brides who are partying independently and meeting up at a club at the end of the night. My wife Jen and I chose to party together over an informal dinner, followed by a trip to a strip club (the most tasteful one in the city, if you can believe it). We were both on our best behavior (look, don’t touch) and a great time was had by all.
Some couples who party separately have a “don’t ask, don’t tell policy” (a “what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas” kind of thing). If you plan on misbehaving that’s not a bad plan—just don’t drunk-dial or drunk-text at the end of the night. No unnecessary drama, right!
Are you planning to have a bachelor or bachelorette party? Are you partying together or separately?
