 |
|
| If the bridal shower is for gifts for "just her" then what gifts do you give at a baccleaurate party? Is there a registry for one, two or all three lol? I have a VERY Christian daughter who I presume wants a "clean" baccleaurate party with "pretty" stuff and cake and clean games but isnt that the bridal shower??? I really dont know what to do. |

| You mean a bachelorette party right? Because Bacculaureate is the religious service associated with commencement ceremonies. And I've never heard of gifts given at a bachelorette party, that's mainly for getting drunk and making a fool out of oneself. Which isn't very "clean." LOL Your daughter is describing a bridal shower with "pretty" stuff, cake and games. (dorky games at that.) |

| The Bachelorette party is mainly for the Bride and her Girlfriends. It can also be considered a Lingere party as well. If you think your Daughter would prefer something tame, tasteful and clean, you could mention it to the maid of honor. That way she wouldn't plan a night of bar hopping and strippers. The Bridal shower tends to be for the ladies of your and her in-laws family. Hope this helps! |

| Most bachelorette parties don't require gifts. They usually require anything with a d*** on it. LOL. |

| I mostly got silly stuff at my bacherlorette party. It was pretty tame - we went out for dinner and drinks, then to karaoke. Just a flock of silly girls.Bridal showers are NOT exclusively for the women anymore, though traditionally they have been. Traditionally, other wives would offer advice and give "practical" gifts (aprons, toasters, etc.).You can give a gift at either the bridal shower or have it delivered. It's usually not necessary to bring it to the wedding (lord knows why everyone does) because it's an extra hassle to take home 50+ boxes after such a stressful day.It's not uncommon to schedule a brunch with close friends and family to open the gifts later (like after the honeymoon). |

| I think a bachelorette party is the time for going out and going wild and crazy. Bridal showers are for hanging out with cake and clean games and pretty stuff. |

| I am not familiar with a Baccleaurate party. However, you are fortunate to have a very Christian daughter. You must be very proud of her. I would have a "clean" Baccleaurate Party and a "clean" Bridal shower. A neat idea for the Bridal Shower is a couples shower. Each couple invited is assigned a movie title. The gift should reflect something in the movie or the movie title. Then the bridal couple has to guess the movie title. It puts fun into buying the gift and fun into the actual shower. You can also serve popcorn, soda, and movie theatre kind of candy along with the cake. Also, the bridesmaids are the ones to throw the Bridal Shower. You might want to share this idea with them. Under no circumstances should it be some kind of raunchy party. It is a Bridal Shower. |

| The Bachelorette Party is just about having fun. No gifts. People do dinner then something fun. I went out to sing Karaoke then we went to a few different bars and hung out doing silly things. My girfriends made me wear a feather boa and mardi gras beads. I also had a shirt with life savers pinned on it that said "suck for a buck" I don't know if your daughter would do that. hehe, it was fun though. |

| Don't bother with the bachelorette party. The good clean fun is the bridal shower! |
