Survey SAYS! |
We did a little survey, and we have some information for you about the state of bachelorette parties today. You may never have another chance to use that penis straw, and that's probably a good thing.

We found that an overwhelming 88% of respondents are looking for more upscale options when it comes to bachelorette party themes, leaving the days of strippers and raunchy accessories behind. A moment of silence for the penis straw, please.
More than 70-percent of survey respondents claimed that splitting the check was a huge headache, and thankfully Holiday Golightly has Divvy It Up to help with that!
Want more percentages? We thought so! 61% of respondents reported they prefer a bachelorette weekend away with a mix of activities, as opposed to one wild night out in their own town - and more than half (57%) are willing to pay up to $400 for said getaway. Of those invited to bachelorette events this year, a notable 66% indicated the weakened economy may somewhat impact their bachelorette plans, but another 21% were ready to open their wallets no matter what. We prefer to hang out with the 21%. Weakened economy, schmeakened economy.
Economy aside, in terms of planning a bachelorette party, respondents cited the scheduling headache that accompanies organizing a big group as the biggest hang-up (37%), followed by dividing and collecting funds (32%) and selecting activities (19%). Seriously girls. Call us.

Kerry--What'd be a really fun bachelorette weekend is to go to a town and go to a bunch of bachelor parties in the town and unwittingly to the bachelors, piggyback the bachelor parties into our own simultaneous bachelorette parties where we laugh and debase ourselves and perform our most debasingly XXX fantasies for all the strange bachelors at the bachelor parties without possible repercussions with other bachelors we know back home. So maybe you could put together something like that. A schedule or sign-up sheet for all the bachelor parties in 20 or 30 different interesting localities where bachelorette partyers can plan out their ideal bachelor-bachelorette party sequence or something. Also you could use your humor to provide funny phony names for the bachelorettes, and also maybe provide lists of attorneys and hospitals, though I think if the emphasis stays on bachelor-bachelorette fun it'll hardly be necessary. Thankyou very much for your attention. Chlorette.

A getaway for the bachelorette party is the way to go. It is great for bridesmaids, family, and friends to get to know each other before the wedding festivities begin. However, I highly recommend having the getaway well before the wedding. This way the guests don't feel the financial burden as much and the bride isn't all stressed out!
