Just call me Trista.

Twice the bachelorette, soon to be the bride. Yes, that's right, I've had not one, but TWO bachelorette parties. Here are the rules for awesome bachelor/ette events.

1) Hire Brandon as your event coordinator. Even though I am related to a professional event coordinator, I would not hesitate to recommend Brandon and his awesome hotdog-centric dares.

2) HOTDOG-CENTRIC DARES! Really, need I say more on this topic? You try daring someone to eat a hotdog with ketchup and no bun; then you'll truly see what I mean.

3) Let's do Dorney! Maybe you think bachelor/ette parties need to involve some nudity. But where, Helen, can I go, see the naked peoples, but not feel ashamed to have my significant other see the evidence later? That would be the famed Dorney Park, where even the two-year-olds are wearing the string bikinis. It's called Wild Water Kingdom for a reason.

4) Nothing's more important than a theme, like the honoree's favorite movie. For instance, if the their favorite movie was Iron Giant, maybe you could both ride Steel Force, and give them lots of magnets as party favors. Or, of their favorite movie was Hoosiers, you could fill their day with high fives, towels snapping at their butt, and rip-away sweats.

5) A little drinky-drinky goes a long way. For more evidence, see Steven (linked above.) Clearly only a completely booze-soaked fool would have made that last post.

6) Nothing says fun like the threat of finding yourself onstage, so whether it's a club, karaoke, or the fabulous Summer Stock Dancers at the aforementioned Park of Dorney, make sure the fetee feels the burn (or at least the threat of the burn) of the spotlight.
