I am the matron of honor of a wedding I have serious concerns with. I am trying to do the right thing and want to know if I am required to throw a bachelorette party based on basic etiquette standards? A huge bridal shower has already been thrown and the bride does not drink, she wants to have the bachelorette party the night before the wedding and outside of myself and the bride, everyone else is under the age of 21. What are your recommendations? Also, if I should still throw a bachelorette party, what is my role and costs that I am responsible for?

Re: [matronofwhat] Bachelorette Party - is it necessary
[In reply to]
The bachelorette party is a totally optional event. If you decide to arrange this party please note that, unlike showers and other pre-wedding parties, you would not be considered host. Everyone who attends (except bride) should pay their fair share equally and as agreed upon by everyone before the event. There should be a meeting of some sort, if possible, to determine what sort of event this will be and what the cost expectations are so that each person can decide if it is feasible for them to attend. The bride should have no hand in the planning, with the exception that you should consult with her on a date she will be available.
If you decide to have this party, have some good, clean fun! Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".
