Your mother could throw you a combined engagement party and going away party.  That would be nice for your friends and family in the area to wish you well.\n\nIf you have a close girl friend or sister, talk to her about planning a bachelorette party or just a girls night out.

I just went to a bridal shower and they had some cute activities that were fun -- and not embarrassing for anybody.\n\nBuy some cheap plastic wedding rings (the kind that are sometimes used to decorate favors). Give each woman a ring when they arrive and tell them if someone catches them saying the word "love" during the shower, they get the ring. At the end of the shower, whoever has the most rings wins a prize.\n\nBefore the shower, ask the bride for a word, associated with wedding, that starts with each letter of the alphabet. At the shower, give each woman a piece of paper with the letters printed down the side (and a pencil/pen). They are to write the word that they thought the bride said. Whoever has the most correct words wins.\n\nThis activity was a lot of fun, if you have enough women to participate. Divide them into groups of 4 or 5 and separate them. Then give each group 4 rolls of toilet paper, some ribbon, and some elastic bands (or anything you have handy). Each group is to pick someone to be the "bride" and dress her (using the toilet paper and ribbons) as they think the bride will look on her wedding day. The bride picks the team that she thinks did best and each member of the team gets a small prize. This is a great one as an icebreaker. Lots of fun. Be sure to have a camera ready!

Depends what you mean by extremely love party? Do you mean an extreme love-party (some sort of raucous sexual orgy) or an extremely lovely party (maybe with cakes and dancing, maybe some booze, cocktails perhaps and polite conversation).\n\nEither way, the answer is yes: you never know what can happen.\n\ncan I come to this extreme love-party/extremely lovely party??? sounds awesome

the best bacholerett party that I went to was a scavenger hunt, it involved two teams, two limos, a camera, and a list of photos to get it was a blast.  The maid of honor hired a company who put the whole thing together so it did not take a long time to plan and the evening only cost each guest fifty dollars.  Have fun!

Just invite your closest friends and relatives.It gets overwhelming if you have to many people there.Remember you have to feed all the people that you invite.I just got married two weeks ago and we spent alot on food and the cake and we ended up with food left over.

Do something fun and a little less ordinary together. One year my husband suprised me by whisking me off to the beach. he had gotton takeout food from this really great itallian place and we had a little moonlit picnic. Next year we are playing with the idea of getting tatoos. You could go rock clibling or take a hike up to a beautiful spot and take in the veiw. A hot air balloon ride or, if more adventurous maybe sky diving lessons.  Whatever you do, try to establish your own little traditions. Like every year no matter what our plans we always have a glass of champagne from our wedding flutes together. One year we had just moved, and were completly broke and had our champagne in the middle of an empty apartment with nothing but lawn chairs for furniture and that was one of the most memorable. Maybe because it was such a clear message that it doesnt really matter what you do as much as who you are with. Happy Aniversery, and Good Luck.

Do you mean like an open house type thing?  I think that would be fine.  High-school graduates to it, why not an expectant mother?  I would actually like showers like that.  Then I could dictate how long I stayed rather than feel pressured to stay through the entire thing.\n\nI would have the mom to be open gifts as they come in so that the giver could see her open theirs and share the excitement.

Is it similar to a wedding ceremony? If so then just go by that. If it is different you could still use one of them. I think that is really nice.

hang out with a few of your best friends, drink, eat junk food, and watch stupid movies.  that always makes me happy.  that's what I did for my bachelorette party.

A great and inexpensive thing to do would be to show up at the shower with your camera. Take photos of the shower and then after the shower, scrapbook them or put them in a small album and give it to them.\n\nPlus you dont have to spend $50 per person, spend 25.00 and get thems something small from their registry - then you'll be getting them what they want so they'll be happy..\n\nTry a bottle of wine for the couple with 2 pretty glasses in a basket - looks like more but is very nice. Or a bag of yankee candle votive candles in a basket that you decorate with a big bow. She'll love it.\n\ndo you have a cool photo of her and the fiance>? frame it - turn it into black and white or sepia and frame it -\n\nand besides - your friends dont want you to go broke they want you to share their happiness. I'm sure they'll understand - just go to the shower and enjoy.

I  don't know where you are from, but some bars advertise for bachlorette parties where you get VIP seating and lots of attention from the staff. I would recommend getting a limo for the bride and all her friends so you can bar hop and not have to worry about a DD. We wore name tags at my friend's bach. party and the bride would pick funny (sometimes raunchy) names for her friends. Have your friend suprised with a big embarrasing penis to carry around, that way EVERYONE will know she is a bachlorette. Also, bring a pen and have her ask strangers to sign her big blow up penis. That always gets a laugh and she may get some drinks bought for her.
