Don’t want to do the traditional night out with drinks and strippers for your bachelor or bachelorette party? Looking for some other ideas on how to celebrate your upcoming nuptials with friends? Here are some suggestions from our Facebook fans…
1 | BOWLING AND BEER.
A little competition never hurt anyone. Wendy Swartz-Doaty suggests the bride-and-groom-to-be’s friends mix it up together in a friendly bowling match. Throw in some beers and crank up some good music and fun is sure to be had!
2 | TAKE IT TO THE BALL PARK.
Says Berks County Living freelance writer and bride-to-be Christina Steffy of Hamburg: “Ball parks host events like this. We are thinking about looking into doing a joint bachelor/bachelorette party at FirstEnergy Stadium. I’ve seen people at Philadelphia Phillies' games for these, too.”
3 | GLAM IT UP.
Photographer Rose Rossello of Rossello Photography, Sinking Spring, recommends you ladies treat yourselves to a glamorous photo session with champagne and nibbles. Learn some poses that will make you look gorgeous! You know there will be lots of photos on the big day! $350 for four people, $85 each additional person. rossellophotography.com, 484.525.0255
4 | PELT AND PAMPER.
JoAnn Haring McCarthy believes the guy and girl parties should be kept separate. Men and women are different and have different likes, after all. For the guys: she suggests letting them pelt each other in a game of paintball. The girls would more likely enjoy a relaxing day at the spa.
5 | DO A DAY TRIP.
Tina Trainer Hogue of Sinking Spring, a travel professional, recommends you take a day away. “There are great spas, hotels or all-inclusive resorts where each can relax with their pals for a weekend without going to Las Vegas,” she explains.
