In a country where 2.3 million couples enter into marriage each year and the average age of brides has increased to 29, we are seeing more and more brides (approximately 94%) opt to have bachelorette parties; and spicy ones, at that. Not to be confused with the bridal shower, the now infamous bachelorette party is an event honoring a bride-to-be, by celebrating the end of her single life. Unlike its predecessor, the groom’s bachelor party, bachelorette parties tend to have more interactive games and fun costumes, which ALWAYS leads to a good time.
Thanks to adult boutique owners (brick & mortar and online), you and your closest (girl) friends can now celebrate your last hoorah, with a party centered on the one thing we all love…YOU! Topics from lingerie to adult toys, pole dancing and sex are all areas of focus.
Make the focus education: Gather your gals for an in-store sex-ed class, such as “The Art of Self Pleasure” or the “Tease and Please Workshop” (visit thevelvetlily.com for more information) and let the highly educated staff teach you a thing or two about passion and romance. Or even learn a new sexy dance, from a trained burlesque and/or pole dancer. Whichever you chose, it’s private, comfy and fun!
Or, chose to focus of something a bit…racier: Business owners are playing host to in-home personal sex toy and lingerie parties, where vibrating toys of all shapes, sizes and colors will be gawked at and passed around like a game of hot potato. The focus is placed on the functionality and advantages of each piece. Be prepared…some of your friends will be slightly awkward and uncomfortable, and others will find it hilarious. But, have no fear, with a little liquid courage, by the end of the party; everyone will be raving about how much fun they had.
