Would you rather... skip the shower or the bachelor(ette) party?

The party police are here and they've decided there are too many pre-wedding events! You can only choose one traditional celebration to keep...

Would you rather... skip the shower or the bachelor(ette) party?

    Skipping the shower, we’ve lived together so long there is nothing we need.

    I've already had my bridal shower (6 months before the wedding... haha)... so I'd skip the bachelorette. I hate going out really.... I'm not a big drinker, and it gives me anxiety to spend/waste a lot of money on booze and feel like garbage the next day.

    My bridal shower was adorable and my mom made it amazing. It was a High Tea party, and I loved it.

    I’d rather skip the bachelorette party as I’m not big on them to begin with.

    I would skip my shower. We did a destination bachelorette which made for a great bonding experience for a fixed cost, also gave us time away to relax and escape wedding planning for a week.
    With the shower it’s tough cause my MOH lives near me which is also near most of my friends but none of my family. so I either have to ask my family to drive 3 hours to and from the shower which is way longer than the shower will last for, or have two showers. I also don’t need or want the gifts and everything from the shower.

    Skip the Bachelor party because you end up spending more money on drinks.

    Both... I don't enjoy being the centre of attention so don't want either. But if I had to choose I'd go for the bachelorette with a close group of friends

    The shower! I’m skipping it. Honestly don’t need any of the gifts as my FH and I will have lived together for 2.5 years by the time the wedding comes round. But I love going out for a party so we’re definitely doing a bachelorette!

    Both. Haha. But I really didn’t want a shower. We’ve been together 10 years, and I don’t want people wasting their money on getting us gifts! I feel awkward getting gifts from people as well. lol

    Skip the shower, which is what I am doing anyway. My girls are throwing me a bachelorette/shower but I am not having a real full on shower.

    I'm already not having a bridal shower. and I would keep it that way.

    we aren't having a shower due to the fact, I feel showers are to help you set up your home. and I have been living on my own for a VERY long time. i'm on my 2nd owned home. we have lived together for 3 years. we don't need house items.

    I want the bachelorette as an awesome weekend away with my friends. i'm so excited for it already (and its not even planned) hahhaa

    Skip the shower! This one was pretty easy since, I'm already skipping it haha.
    I'd have to travel back to my hometown ($800-flight) for 1 full day, which to me is a waste of money.

    This one is tough for me because we don't need a shower since we already live together and have what we need and don't really feel like we want to upgrade any of our stuff. We're also planning on having a Jack & Jill and I personally am afraid that having both is asking for too much gifts/money from our guests. On the flip side though, I'm not into the stereotypical bachelorette parties where you get drunk and stuff. Like Tori said, I don't need one last hurrah. My wedding is a good thing and not the mourning of my single life. my wedding is my hurrah!

    So that being said I guess I'd go with having a shower so I can get to see family and friends, but if I have to be 'showered' with anything I'd ask for charity donations.

    I personally skipped the bachelorette party, welll i did a dinner with each of my friends but nothing with all us together. The shower was great, my SIL and MIL hosted and I had a great time meeting all the ladies from my hubby's side.

    Skip the bachelorette party. The shower = more people to celebrate with + gifts (duh)! Whereas the bachelorette party is just about getting drunk and "celebrating my last night as a non-married woman..." like - there is a reason I'm getting married so I don't feel like there has to be one last hurrah.
