And yeah, usually guys get it much easier on the gift front. I don't think gifts are expected at bachelor parties, right? You just buy drinks all night, maybe pay for dinner if that's involved, split the cost of, ahem, the "entertainment" for the evening.... Then just buy one gift for the wedding. Girls get sucked into multiple gifts because shower = gift, wedding = gift, and I've been in bridal parties where the bridal party goes in together on yet ANOTHER gift (plus the bridesmaid dress, shoes, hair, etc etc etc). It is NOT cheap being people's friends when they get married!!!! |
What is a MOH? As I recall, there was only one bridesmaid at the party. Her college bridesmaids were from her chapter and they (the chapter) had already thrown her a shower. I think that is why I got stuck with secretary duty.
I don't think I have ever been to a bachelor party where "real" gifts were involved. A few times, gag gifts were given. But yeah, normally there is a gift the bride (and/or the couple, he might like that avocado green blender) and then going in on the bachelor party (or night out) and whatever that might, *cough, cough*, entail.
