I've only been to two weddings in my life (both as an audience member and not in the party), and I have zero extended family, so I'm new to the whole wedding circuit. I'd really like to be a fantastic maid of honor and make the day and the weeks proceeding as special as possible for my best friend. She's definitely not opposed to me asking her outright what she'd like in terms of maid-of-honorish stuff, but I'd really like to have some element of surprise in there.<br> <br> Some background on her, to make answering easier: the wedding is going to be super low-key, which is indicative of my best friend and her husband-to-be. She's not a girly-girl, but I know she does want some sort bachelorette party and a wedding shower. She doesn't want the typical things and she isn't a bar person or a big drinker (though she isn't opposed to a few fruity, pretty-colored drinks). She's a stage manager for local theatres, loves crafty-type things and has a great sense of style/taste in clothing and decoration.<br> <br> So, I suppose main questions are: what's the timeline on things like wedding showers and bachelorette parties? What are the usual expectations of the maid of honor on the day before and the day of the wedding? What are some creative ideas for a bachelorette party? <br> <br> If it matters, this is an outside wedding next July. We're both in our mid-20s and live in Minneapolis. I am on a limited budget, but I'm open to all suggestions.

I am throwing the bachelorette party for my best friend in about a month, and I need original ideas. She isn't interested in the traditional bar hop/strip club or spa day kind of thing. I would like to do something relaxing, interesting, cheap (under $50) and in the northwest ohio/southeast michigan area. The bride and attendees are all in their early twenties, if that helps. Thanks! tag:ask.metafilter.com,2005:site.21125 Tue, 12 Jul 2005 19:57:58 -0800 bacheloretteparty wedding ohio
