Bridal Shower or Bachelorette Party

A Bridal Shower is a party where you invite female friends, grandma and other family (that are invited to the wedding) to an afternoon party, sometimes it has a unique theme, like a monogram shower in which guest bring items with the couple's monogram, a tea party that all the ladies show off their best hats and white gloves, "what's for dinner" theme in which guest bring their favorite recipes for a meal and the ingredients in a gift basket, and the list goes on. Normally the bridesmaids and possibly the mother of the bride and or the mother of the groom pays for the shower. This event is rated PG

A Bachelorette Party is where you invite female friends and family out to a wild evening of  fun , drinking, games, bar hopping, naughty gag gifts and oh yes strippers!! Normally you don't invite your Grandma or Mom, although I've seen both of them attend. Everyone usually pays for themselves and chip in for the stripper at a bachelortette party, although the bride really shouldn't have to buy her own drinks or anything! This event is rated XXX
