Flip Out Or Forget It? - Strippers at the bachelor(ette) party

Joey, on January 14, 2019 at 09:16 Posted in Before the wedding 0 34

This is a hot button issue, for sure! How would you feel about there being strippers at your SO's bachelor/ette party? Does this make you flip out? Or are you able to forget it?

Flip Out! It's just not necessary! You can have a great bach party with no strippers, so why have them? Bach parties aren't about celebrating someone's "last night of being single" - they aren't single, they're engaged!

Forget It! Your SO loves you. Seeing a stripper isn't going to make them cheat or look at you any differently.

    Flip out. Strippers don't align with our values. We aren't having any parties, but if that were to happen there would be a serious, Come-to-Jesus conversation.

    Flip out, but in the silent glare and leave way. I have only given my MOH/BM planning this two absolute no-go's (other was penis shaped food...one of my bridal tribe members is a trained chef and she could make it look TOO realistic....lol). This is one of those two thing and they have already promised no strippers. It's not something I am comfortable (but to each their own) and have told them if they hire one I will leave. Where they've already promised too, that would be disrespectful.

    I wouldn't be impressed. For me it's not about trust, I just find it very disrespectful and I think only losers pay $$ to see skin. Sorry if that offends anyone

    Forget it! Not worth getting strippers to enjoy an evening with friends and family. Besides, having to pay for someone to take their clothes off for a song doesn't justify it.

    Forget it- We are having a joint bachelor/bachelorette party so I know there wont be any there, but his friends are throwing him a surprise bachelor party and I have a feeling they will likely end up at a strip club and it doesn't really bother me, I know FH is indifferent-doesn't hate them doesn't love them

    I would honestly flip out. I don't think that's any way to start your marriage. Although I don't think he would like there being strippers at my Bachelorette! We've also have never been the partying type so we are both having pretty relaxed parties! And they're the day before haha

    This will definitely not happen at either but if it did I wouldn't really care. We are very open with each other so I wouldn't stress

    Flip out. First, I agree with Robyn that I think it's a ridiculous and antiquated tradition that only objectifies women and entertains the notion that men are tied down when they get married. Second, my FH and I will have been together for 10 years by the time we're married - if he wanted to see naked women, he should have dated around. That said, although we haven't talked about it yet, he hasn't been to a strip club yet so I can't see him wanting to for a bach party.

    We made a pact together that we wouldn't have strippers and it was actually my fiance that suggested it! He's worried that our parties will automatically assume strippers for the bachelor/bachelorette, so we have both told the people planning ABSOLUTELY no strippers!

    That's how I feel, too. No big deal. I'm even dragging my fiance to one for his first time for my 30th with my best friend. 😂

    I'm ok with a strip club...not a private party at a residence. I've seen both and there is a HUGE difference. So if he wants to go to a club I don't care, I just think I'd rather not know.


    I won't be doing it at mine, it's just not my thing. I will be hitting up some of the best Drag shows DC has to offer though. I can't WAIT!

    Forget it! Why not let him let loose? We're a pretty open couple. They're strippers, not prostitutes.

    Flip out. No shade to sex industry workers or anyone who is a fan of strip clubs, but strippers at a bach is some antiquated sexist bull born from and contributing to the absurd cultural myth that every man is reluctant to get 'tied down' and needs one last look at a strange woman's body before he shackles himself to one woman for the rest of his life. It's disrespectful to everyone involved, including the strippers.

    Forget it. It really doesn’t bother me. If someone planned strippers for mine I probably would because that’s so not my thing but if my fiancé wants to he can go for it!

    Its funny because I assumed this meant getting strippers for me! Hahaha!

    I'm indifferent! I don't personally want a stripped for my bachelorette, but if my girls go for it I wont sulk I have a little fun! (just dont touch me lol)

    Strippers at my FH's Bachelor party doesn't bother me either! I mean it's not something I would tell him he SOULD DO! But if I heard there were strippers/going to a strip club I would be like... ok go wash your hands... hahah!

    I'd flip mostly because we've both agreed we don't want any, and its a joint bachelorette party. So if our MOHs went ahead and booked strippers without talking to us, it would be really awkward.

    Flip out. He didn’t want to so I would’ve been mad at his friends if they arranged to go somewhere he didn’t want to go for his bachelor! I didn’t want any, so I would’ve been upset if my friends had planned that for me.

    I wouldn't 'flip out'... however we talked about it, and there's such a double standard, but FH would be SO jealous if I went to male strippers, but people don't bat an eye at men going to strippers, and in my opinion, it's worse for female strippers. He agrees it's not a big deal to have/not have, and doesn't really care.

    I trust my FH. So I wouldn't be worried about him doing something, I'm more worried about that rogue friend who thinks it's funny to try and push my FH to do something... or pay a girl to try and do something. (Drunk friends can be dumb).

    Our stag/stagette are done, neither of us had strippers, and he doesn't feel like he missed out. Honestly, we've said we'd probably go out together to the strippers before bothering to go alone Smiley laugh

    We actually talked about this the other day and we wouldn't care if the other had strippers, even though it is highly unlikely lol.

    Flip out - I think its beyond disrespectful to your fiance. We have already talked about it and he feels the same way, we both are quite protective of each other in that way and I just dont believe its appropriate to have some dancer girl all over you when you're committed to someone who you're about to marry. - gross.

    Neither of us want strippers. I'd be so embarrassed, haha.

    I wouldn't flip out as long as my fiancé is upfront about it.

    Omg who cares. if you can’t trust them with something like that, maybe getting married isn’t the best idea.

    If that's what he wanted, it wouldn't bother me. He's not a fan of them to begin with so I know it wouldn't happen.

    I would for sure forget about it. He deserves to have fun and do what he wants for his last single party.

    My Bachelorette will be super chill and laid back, so that will not be an issue.

    I'd probably flip out, but not in the crazy jealous way people would probably think. My fiance and I talked about out bachelor/ette parties and both agreed on no strippers or anything like that. Neither of us want or are into that so it's not even a worry or anything. But I've also talked to my bridesmaids and they know that too so if they were to get a stripper I'd be mad at them for lying to me when they say they won't and disrespctit my wishes. So goes for the groomsmen, my fiance said no and if they do it I just think it's disrespectful.

    It’s not for me, and it’s not for my FH either so so as unlikely as I see it being, I wouldn’t freak out.
