"It's time to talk about girls behaving badly and how to throw a bachelorette party. Alright so you may or may not be behaving badly, that is up to the girls. Whatever way you want to go with it though, bachelorette parties can be so much fun if you follow a few simple guidelines. Guideline number one, is talk to the bride. Find out her boundaries, her comfort level and I think it's ok if you push it a little bit, but if you push it a lot, you end up with comedy at her expense and this isn't the time for it. She's the guest of honor. So respect her boundaries and go wherever she feels like going. The stereo typical image of bachelorette parties as an evening of debauchery with drinks and maybe even some exotic entertainment, and if that is what you want fantastic. You can do that at home, or you can go out. Cocktails, appetizers, food, and then entertainment. A note about those exotic entertainers, ladies the guys that come to your house to dance are completely different ball game then going out to see a male review. So keep that in mind and if your bride isn't comfortable with that, don't go there. However, if you do choose to have entertainment like that, I'll give you a little tip, bring lots of singles. Very important. If your bride is the kind that wants the girls night really badly but not that type, wants a little bit of an alternative that's ok, you can do something completely different and still have it be a bachelorette party. Whether it's a girls casino weekend in Vegas or Atlantic City, or a spa night with mannies, peddies maybe even a sleepover party, whatever you want it's ok with you. It's ok with her, it's ok with you. You follow my drift. When you go out, a little tip here from me, have the bride wear a veil. Veil often equals free drinks, veil often equals free admission and as you can see from my veil, you can make the veil look anyway you want. If she's a bad little girl, put some horns on it. If not she can wear pure white veil. But if she's dressed like a bride, you guys are going to get some VIP treatment when you go out and that's a lot of fun. A lot of women like to incorporate a variety of props and necklaces, maybe some Mardi Gras beads or necklaces that are naughty shaped, whatever again you define as fun and whatever the bride is comfortable, knock yourself out. This is a pay as you go event, everybody is going to kind of pitch in as they go along for the most part. You the hostess may pay for some of those favors and necklaces and goodies like that. But if you are going out, drinking, dancing, things like that, this may be a pay as you go event that usually is you the hostess will probably pay for some of the favors but everybody else is going to pitch in as they go along and pitch in for the bride cause she is not paying. Whether you are out drinking and dancing or staying in have fun with this. Be good or be bad."
