I went to NOLA for my bach and it was a blast!

Nashville and Scottsdale are both incredibly popular for bachelorette parties. But tbh, it was only fun for me for like the first two parties. Then I was over it, the expense, the time, and spending time with women I wasn’t friends with haha. Best of luck. Don’t demand too much from your friends unless you’re rich and planning to help where you can. It can cause resentment.

I agree with this. I have some bitterness/resentment built up based on how much I have spent for previous bachelorette parties. My own bachelorette party is in 2 weeks and I’ve made it a point to try to cover as much for my friends as possible so they don’t have the same feelings I do.

With that said. We’re going to Cabo for bachelorette (for beach, weather, and bars) and St Lucia for honeymoon (beach and some adventures)

Doing an all-inclusive Bach in Jamaica. The food, music, and vibes; I am super excited for it! Every day we are planning something different, 1 - beach day, 2 - party day, 3 - adventure day etc.

What kind of vibe are you going for? Bar hopping? Hanging out at a house but with a lot to do in the area? Nice restaurants?

Thank you all this is helpful! I'm thinking Asheville, NOLA or Montreal at the moment. I travel a lot and have been to most the trendy bach spots for friends. Mostly a beer hopping/couple night out spots but mostly just relaxing with friends. For honeymoon we're thinking Scandinavia but worry about the planning process

I did my bachelorette in Scottsdale and we had soooooo much fun. The weather was great and everyone absolutely loved it. For our honeymoon we went to Hawaii for two weeks and had the time of our lives.

We decided to do a photo session before the wedding for the two of us and family. The photographer and the location were amazing but the makeup was terrible, and because I was low on time, I couldn't fix it before the photos. The makeup artist make me look yellow! Idk if there's anything that could be done at this point, but feeling so disappointed :(

That starts a debate on why one shouldn’t get married, how much wedding costs & what a waste it is, dresses are stupid because you only wear them once, etc. I haven’t talked about my wedding much, but I didn’t appreciate this. I ignored the negative comments and we moved the conversation along. Not talking about that anymore!

I feel really down but also don’t want to start WW3 by saying something to her. I feel like I now need to rush to buy a new outfit.
