Should couples have joint bachelor parties?

I'd generally say not. The point of the bachelor party/bachelorette party is generally to embarrass the groom/bride (making him wear a dress, her wear a tiara), and sometimes involves risque games. The embarrassment is cruel in front of one's fiance/fiancee, and the risque games aren't appropriate in mixed company.Should couples have joint bachelor parties?
I think it really depends on the couple and their own thoughts on it.





My husband didn't even want a bachelor party but did end up going bowling and to the casino with his buddies.





I had one that was well planned. Me and all my BMs and a few other friends just simply went to the bar that we all hung out at for a long time....and drank ourselves silly. We didn't do any of the ';games'; or anything like that. It was very simple....it was just us having a normal girls night. It was PERFECT.





I wouldn't have minded having a joint party. We did consider it, but in the end decided against it since over the course of planning the wedding in six months, writing a master's thesis for him (I helped with research, etc) and the holidays, that we didn't really have any time with our friends. So we decided to make it our seperate nights since normally we have one night a month to go out with friends seperately and hadn't been able to in about four months.Should couples have joint bachelor parties?
My fiance and I have a wedding party where 95% of them live in different states (some a 10 hr drive from us). One of the BMs and one GM are actually a married couple. Because of this, we decided to pick a central location (Niagara Falls, Canada) for a weekend party. All the BMs and all the GM are coming there for the weekend. We are all going to hang out during the day together (lunch, then maybe some casino time). After that the guys and ladies are going to split up (separate dinners and bar time). I think it'll be a nice mix - everyone's friends so we can all hang out together, then there can also be a ';bachelor'; and ';bachelorette'; party.
I don't see why not, that is what we are doing for ours.





I hear it is the modern thing that a lot of people are choosing to do.





We don't feel the need to go out and be all ';wild and crazy'; with our friends, we just want to celebrate our engaement and life together with everyone. Besides isn't a bachelor party all about that being your last night ';free';? We haven't been ';free'; for years and feel this would be better for our purposes.





Hope this helped.
The couple should do what ever they like. To me it isn't a question of whether the couple should or shouldn't have a joint party. There is no right or wrong answer they should do what ever it is that they as a couple and individuals would be happy with.
Should they? It depends on whether they want to or not.





The idea of a bachelor party is for it to be seperate though.


But yeah if you want to, go for it!





I just don't feel the same way when I go out with my man and all his mates, me and my girls have a much different attitude when we hit the town! : )
If it is what the couple wants, sure.


Should it be forced? No.





My fiance has a 'guys weekend' trip every year and this year the best man asked the guys to turn it into my fiance's bachelor party weekend. I wouldn't crash it because it is the 'guys weekend' trip to start with.
That's kinda what we're doing. At mine, for the first 2 hours, though, it's gonna be only for the girls. At his, the first 2 or 3 hours are reserved for the guys. My fiance and I did NOT plan it this way. This was our friends' group efforts to make it a huge party for everyone.
Some couples don't want to have the wild and crazy nights usually associated with bachelor parties, so sure, it can be a fine idea. Especially if they share most of the same friends.
Sure, if that's what they want. You also have to think about the guests. Are they going to think it's totally lame? Maybe part of the night could be spent with the two groups together and the other part could be separate.
Couples can definitely have the party together, however, having them separately is sort of the point of having them in the first place.
ya we are combining wedding parties and hitting the town! It is going to be a blast, and we are really looking forward to it!
Sure, it will be fun. The more the merrier!!!!
sure. if thats what they want.
I used to say yes


but now I say a BIG NO................


each should have their own and one for the house,


divide up all the bills and putin money from each side into the house one, and each of you have your own, and only use your own for yourself, adn do not take from the house one, is your empty then your empty, wait until next pay,





good luck
