The bachelorette party is an interesting concept. Its roots are in the bachelor party, which used to be a night of testosterone-y debauchery. I suspect the girls realized that it wasn't fair for the boys to have all the fun and wanted to get in on the action.
This weekend I am attending a bachelorette party for a fellow engaged gal pal, but I suspect debauchery will not be an issue. Consider the following: When we were out for a girls' night at a piano bar, we were mocked by the performers for being too quiet (in our defense, it was early in the night, and we didn't each have a gigantic pitcher of "punch" in front of us like the "ladies" at the table next to us did). Then the performers sang, "I'm too sexy" for/about us, substituting, "I'm too sexy for my glasses" for one of the verses. Nothing says wild like 4 girls in glasses.
Anyway, we're going to a casino and staying over at a nearby hotel to make a partial weekend of the event. We have dinner reservations at 9 PM, which is far later than any of us regularly eat, and I have concerns about us falling asleep in our risotto. Normally, caffeine would be the solution, but 4 of us cannot or do not drink caffeine, so I'm not sure what we'll do--perhaps we can all schedule naps before we leave. I'm really painting a wild picture here, aren't I...
I would say that I'll have a full update of the weekend on Monday, but there is that rule--what happens at the bachelorette party stays at the bachelorette party. :)
