I don’t know what the tradition in your country is—btw, I would love to know, feel free to comment below—but I have to say that here in France, a bachelorette party can be crappy. I mean reaaally crappy. For instance, you can be forced to wear a stupid costume (oh and guess what, and you’re the only one disguised!) and then go to persons you barely know or sometimes total strangers in the street, to fullfil some pointless mission you’ve been asked to. Sorry if I sound bitter here, but that’s just what it too often turns out to be: a day you look like crap and try to have fun in a way you usually don’t.
A bachelor party should be an actual nice moment you spend with your (girl) friends and I was quite happy to listen to Anouch and Laurence of Épouse-Moi Cocotte—literally, “Marry Me Honey”, except that it sounds so much better in French :p—telling me about this little business of theirs. What they offer is one hour of photo shoot with the bride to be and her girl friends (I guess it works with guys too); they meet with them when they already had some fun together and try to maintain a very casual atmosphere for the shoot. As a result, some very cool photos of a day spent with her closest friends the bride’s gonna be proud and happy to remember. And for those lazy bridesmaids: you can even get some dedicated games from them for your week-end! Oh, yeah.
