I'm planning the bachelorette party for my friend, and I was planning on doing a night cruise on the ocean. I was wondering if it's proper to invite those not invited to the wedding. It's a bit more informal than a bridal shower and wasn't completely sure. Thanks.

Re: [AlisonH] bachelorette party etiquette...

Dear Allison:
Try to imagine how you'd feel if you were invited to join a group of women for a bachelor party (for which all guests are typically expected to pay their own way) only to discover that you are not invited to the wedding or to the shower (where you would be treated to a party and a meal). Personally, I'd feel slighted; as though I was good enough to party with and pay my own way, but not good enough to be treated to a meal. Anytime you have a question about etiquette, most times you can just ask yourself, "How would I feel if presented with the same scenario". It's a good rule of thumb but you can also check the newest etiquette book by Peggy Post.
So, the answer is, no, it is not polite to invite someone to a bachelorette party if she's not going to be invited to the wedding. Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".
