Why bachelorette parties are so rarely stupid

These are all your irritations in a row

By
bachelorette parties

I love attending weddings. Thinking for weeks in advance about what to wear, finding the perfect gift for the couple, writing a nice speech, getting your hair done, and ultimately being almost as nervous as the couple themselves. As much as I enjoy the wedding, I find the bachelorette party, with a few exceptions, absolutely terrible. You're with a group of people you don't know, you have to massage pigs and craft tea bags, it takes up a whole day off, and so on. I'm very much for my own course, so I usually join in for the dinner. I took stock of what the biggest irritations were among my most fun Instagram friends (by the way, you can follow me at @maybrittmobach) and there were also delightful annoyances.

1. To begin with the app group where everyone makes all sorts of suggestions.

2. That you get squeezed into a ridiculous outfit.

3. That you have to pay quite a bit of money for a day you actually don't want to participate in at all.

4. That you get an extra Tikkie afterwards because the day turned out to be more expensive.

5. That your friend who is getting married secretly tells you that she also finds the activities terrible.

6. The nagging about the budget. One complains about five euros, the other only suggests expensive things.

7. The hysteria! The costs! You haven't been single for a long time because of a relationship, so why are we doing this? Those friends will get to know each other at the wedding self.

8. The idea that it ‘must’. Not every woman getting married wants this.

9. Strippers! As if this is the last time this is allowed.

10. Games where you have to approach people on the street.

11. Spending your rare day off with people you don't know at all.

12. That everyone has to wear the same thing.

13. Not helping with the organization but then suddenly interfering with the day's schedule.

14. Even picking a date.

15. Always a group of women who really want to show how close they are to the bride.

16. An expensive day full of non-activities with people you have nothing in common with.

17. Doing disgusting things like whipped cream on dildos, an obstacle course, a nasty boat, or an American football clinic.

18. That annoying witness who pushes all her silly ideas (while you know the bride is not at all looking forward to that).

19. Stingy types who manage the pot but don't contribute anything themselves.

20. Someone who cancels at the last minute and then doesn't pay (while everything was also bought for her).

21. The urge to scream.

22. Acting like your life only begins when you get married.

23. Acting like your life ends when you get married.

24. The exaggerated sister-in-law who is also out for a day.

25. Participating in pointless activities for a fortune.

Well, that's it. I think it worked therapeutically and relieving for many of you. Should I cautiously write a piece about what a fun bachelorette day could be? Or is that completely impossible?

Bachelorette day? Keep it or abolish it?
