What to plan for a stagette?

[joyinchrist]

Hi all:
I have to plan a stagette night for a friend... half the bridal party is christian and doesnt want to do the 'stripper' thing, and the other half isnt.... any good ideas for a fun night out for the grrls?

I am not into the whole stripper thing, or drinking, or clubbing. For my bachelorrette party I would like to go to the casino and play blackjack, watch chick flicks, and play games and stuff. The casino in my area also has an all night pool, so we can go swimming and everything. I think that's a good idea but that's just me. You could also go to an arcade and play lazer tag or go to an amusement park. Ultimately someone should ask the bride what she wants to do, because it is up to her, don't take her out drinking if she doesn't like to drink.

Drinking will probably end up part of the evening, even if it's just a few calming glasses of wine. Games are fun- how long has in been since any of these girls played truth or dare? Nostalgia can be super fun- and as it's the bride's last single fling it's in order as well.

Think of slumber party activities if you want to go on the more innocent side. With some goody bags and paper and pens you can have a really good time. A board game that I would reccomend if there are going to be a lot of you is... um.... what was it called... I don't remember the name but it's a game about old sayings. You'd know the country that the saying origenated from and the beggining of the saying. Like: Ancient Burmese proverb say-- "If the hill is on fire...." and then everyone makes up an ending that they think will be the most believable except the person whose turn it is (who knows the real answer because it's on the card). When everyone is done the person whose turn it is reads all the answers and everyone votes for the one they think is the real one (you read the real one along with the rest, slipping it in if you can subtley) Then the real quote is revealed. Everyone who got a vote for their version gets a point and everyone who voted for the real one gets a point. "If the hill is on fire, the crickets will burn" is the actual quote (they're all really really old so it's hard to know what they're going to say because most of it is pretty 'out there')
Me and my friends turned this into a drinking game at my 21st birthday party (everyone who didn't get a point in a round had to take a shot that round- people who voted for the right one could assign 10 seconds of beer chugging to anyone they choose) but I played with my family without the drinking and it was still really fun.

Hope I was a help.

those are super ideas! thank you! I am just worried, i know that some of the girls want to do the stripper thing, and there are two of us that will have to bow out the night in that case.... i'm hoping to come up with some good alternatives, but it's like u say, its for the bride, if thats what she wants to do... i can live with that, but i dont have to be there

Balderdash?? IS that the game?

Do you know what kinds of gifts the bride has received yet? Just an idea....but some towns have a "paint your own pottery". You buy the plates, mugs and bowls and then the guests paint them. If she is having a certain wedding motif, everyone does the designs accordingly and then you sign the bottom so she knows who made what. Maybe not the naughtiest stagette, but one that will create memories for her for years to come! (If I remember correct, they seal the paintings and laquer them for you at the pottery shop) Just an idea....a messy one at that.

Oh! we had a shop just like that here in town! I wonder if we still do? Actually no... now that i think of it, its gone... its the brick now But something to that effect would be a really neat thing!

If the bride wants to have a party with stripper and everything, let her do that with the girls who also want that, don't make her feel guilty, just throw a second more PG rated party for everyone!

 

[joyinchrist]

yeah thats what i think we will do
