bachelor/ette parties tip
The one thing that fills most brides and grooms with fear is the thought of their fiancée attending a bachelor or bachelorette party. Over the years, this tradition has undergone drastic changes. Historically, the evening was comprised of a dinner full of swaggering toasts. Towards the end of the night the stem of a wine glass was broken. These outdated party traditions have given way to an abundance of creative freedom.
These parties carry a stigma with them, especially the bachelor party. It is easy to conjure up some pretty colorful images of what the night may hold. It is important that both of you acknowledge these feelings. You may be feeling:
Jealous over your fiancée partying without you
Insecure about what your fiancée might do
Anxious about the wedding
Worried that someone might get hurt
If you're just going out to dinner or playing a little poker, it shouldn't be a big deal. If you find yourself too concerned, this may indicate some deeper issues. Discuss how much you trust each other, to put your mind to rest.
It is important that you both agree on the party plans. Respect, consideration and communication are essential to a healthy relationship. Challenging partnerships involve mutual trust and support of both individuals. If you have any misgivings about each other's parties, talk it out. It's not necessary to have a wild, no-holds-barred, from-dusk-till-dawn kind of night. Elucidate the purpose behind the party. It's important that you both agree to have absolute trust in one another.
Think about what you really love to do. Only your imagination limits your options. Here are a few ideas for a party that you can both agree on. Consider:
Camping
Going to a hockey game
Taking a road trip
Skydiving
Going to a concert
Taking a brewery tour
Throughout your marriage, you'll both need to do things independently from time to time. The sooner you establish an atmosphere of unconditional trust, the stronger you'll be as a couple.
