Bachelor/Bachellorette Parties

To do or not to do. We, as Latter Day Saints, don't have much need for wild drinking binges or for watching scantily clad dancers before we head out to the temple for the greatest day of our life. So do we need bachelor and bachelorette parties? Well, no. But why not spend a night close to your wedding having a great time with your friends?

Get all your friends together and go crazy! Play monopoly, go golfing, watch late night movies, have a slumber party, shoot pool. Hey live dangerous and go toilet papering! I don't think it really matters what activity you choose. Do whatever it is that you won't have as much time for now that you'll be spending every night with your sweetie. (As if you weren't spending every waking moment together before.)

I really do think it's a good idea to spend some quality undivided time with those friends of yours that were there to get you in and out of trouble and stuck with you through all the relationship drama that proceeded this big event. Whether you know it or not, your time with your friends is about to diminish rapidly and it only gets harder. Give them the love and attention they deserve and let yourself have fun!
