that a 26 year old Bride has a Bachlorete Party hosted by her bridemaids who invite not just her friends but the mothers of the best friends?

I have noticed that among my son and daughters friends (son and daughter are 15 months apart in age) that it seems acceptable and encouraged for the mothers of the Bride & Groom and ALL close friends mothers' of Bride & Groom to be invited along for the entire evening. It gets kinda wild...what do you think of that?

Not Wild in a bad way just a long night!

The mother's and the girls have really good relationships, in fact some of the girls visit with the moms- they are friends.

From some responses I get the impression that I sound negative about this...I don't mean to sound negative about this, I just wondered if anybody else has had this experience and what they think about it.

No male strippers, all going to a bar where there are two piano players that play off each other and are fun and funny.

I didn't ask in the wedding section because I wanted to know what this group thinks about it.

If the Mothers like to have a good time, why shouldn't they be invited if it is agreeable with the younger girls? I just went to a party like that this summer. It was actually nice seeing the two generations celebrating the tradition of the Bachlorette party. And, there was even a male stripper!!

This question might be better in the "wedding" section,but anyway....what is the problem here ? Are you concerned that some of these mothers are not bachelorettes? Are you concerned that these ladies might be---yeacch !! Old !!!?
My own humble opinion is that this is a bachelorette party, where ladies of all ages and marital states just get together and have a little fun to celebrate the bride's coming nuptials.
At my daughter's party this year. we had ladies of all ages, including some grandmothers, and we all went bowling and had a ball.
If you are very tied up with things like this, try loosening up a little. Parties are for fun, not for nit-picking about little things like how old the guests are.

It seems a little odd to me, too, but when I got married, the men had bachelor parties & the women had bridal showers. It sounds like a good devlopment to me. My daughter & I are close & can go to a bar together, etc.
One of my mate's friends invites his mother to all of their outings. He's in his 50's & still lives with his mother. I think that's weird. He has a job. He was a "professional student" until his mother insisted that he get a job!

No, I think it's great. Any time people of different ages can get together and have a nice time, I say 'go for it'. What a good way to celebrate her new life, not only with her friends, but with voices of experience also.

I think i know what you mean.It's nice but I do agree it does seem a little odd to me too. We older women are not getting invited just to be nice, they do want us to be at the Bachlorete Party.My daughter in laws always invite me to things I think should be for friends closer to their age.... Maybe because we are a unique generation. We are the Baby Boomers!

Nope. Not odd at all. The more the merrier!!! Enjoy and have fun. Once in a lifetime event when everyone can celebrate. Sounds wonderful.

I think it is good that they all get along. I often visit my friends mam's, as most of my friends have went to study all over the world, talking to their mams is a way of catching up. However i think i would have one party for the girls then a more sensible one for the older generation!

Sounds like a whole new thing is getting started and is a good way for everyone to get acquainted all around. Me,I'd rather keep it the old way but as long as they all get a long together, way to go.

Not odd, but unusual. I hope it means the bride and friends have really good relationships with their moms.
