Tea for three.

We took my friend to Dick's Last Resort where she had to have guys eat the lifesavers we sowed to her shirt and then they had to sign their name. They made her an X-Rated cake made us all wear balloons in our hair with X-rated phrases on them and made sure our drinks were always full! She also had a list of things to collect- men's underware, condoms, a strippers business card, etc. by the end of the night. We had a limo take us to the Big Easy for some cheesy dancing, men and more drinks. The night was a blast- her mother was even out with us throwing back shots left and right!

For my bachelorette party, I want a chance to visit and spend quality time with my girlfriends from out of town that I only get to see every year or two. That's why I've asked them to skip the strip clubs and look more towards a day at the spa followed by a really nice dinner with lots of wine (my favorite.) I just want to be able to catch up with the girls!

ABSOLUTELY - LET IT ALL HANG OUT!

I went to a bachelorette party at Jacque's in the South End. It's a drag queen show. Loads of fun!

For my bachelorette party, the girls and I spent a wonderful weekend at Hampton Beach! During the day we relaxed and enjoyed walking along the boardwalk. During the night, we let lose, drinking and dancing! It was a wonderful weekend and the best part... after drinking, you could walk to your motel, no driving!

In my group of friends, we skip the clubs and head for the ballpark! A night game at Fenway--ogling ballplayers' butts in their tight uniforms for the last time guilt-free, drinking beer and eating dogs, and yelling like crazy--is the perfect combination of raucousness and good clean fun. (And all the guys at the park think it's hilarious.) Topped off by a club visit and gifts to the bride of naughty underwear! I'd take that any time over the harder-core strip club experience. Of course, at my bachelorette party, the whole gang (complete with big cardboard sign saying "Grace's Bachelorette party") got on the Jumbotron while I was in the bathroom (!!) but you can't have everything!

Me and my friend Justina had a double bachelorette party in Key West. There were 13 people there, 14 if you include Chico our blow up doll/floation device. He made a lot of friends at the Hyatt pool. We spent some time at Captain Tony's (shout out to Capt Tony, he's 83, but doesn't look a day over 98), Irish Kevin's, Sloppy Joes, the Garden of Eden (a naked bar), and The Flying Monkey. The Flying Monkey is the best. Amie made these cool coozies for everyone. Sue bought cigars for us at the Schooner bar. Janie, Cara, Katie, and Gail all went skinny dipping in the Marina, until security came. Me, Katie, Sue, and Shan went golfing one day. Cara wanted to jump off a pier and swim to shore after we just saw some guy catch a shark. Alcohol was a factor. We went on a sunset booze cruise and had about 20 cases of pony Bud Lights. Cara wore some snorkle gear on the cruise. Chico did some dancing at Irish Kevin's on night. All and all a very good time.

I don't have any friends getting married just yet. If I had to plan something I would take an exotic dancing class with Gypsy Rose exotic dance. I would probably plan to do that for kicks before we all hit the town.

My favorite thing to do is that all the girls, but the bride, throws a certain amount of money into a special "bachelorette" bag, and that is what is used throughout the night. That way, no one feels like they are paying more or less, and one person, preferably the most sober person, handles the bag and pays the bills at each bar that you attend.
