Why You Should Have A Fake Bachelorette Party

A girls' night out quickly turned into, "My friend is getting married next week and this is her bachelorette party."

Why You Should Have A Fake Bachelorette Party
Author's photo

At age 20 my friend had her first, but not last, bachelorette party. It all started when Katie was choosing what to wear to dinner. She was modeling a few dresses for us but as soon as she put on the tiny slimming white dress it was all over. Her face was glowing and she looked as if she wasn’t just going out for a typical dinner with the girls. Katie had fire in her eyes that night and everyone knew it. In a matter of five minutes we decided we were going to make the night Katie's fake bachelorette party.

There are not many friend groups that I believe could pull this off quite like we did. We were in the bathroom for hours getting ready and trying to construct a toilet paper veil. We also needed to make it believable when people asked so we picked out the venue and date. We also needed pictures for memories and proof so we casually had a photo shoot with the bride to be. We clearly wanted the whole world to know it was Katie’s night.

Stepping out of the hotel room I honestly had butterflies as if my friend was truly getting married in the weeks to come. Katie walked through the casino and down the board walk with toilet paper in her hair as people were screaming “congrats” and a few other things I probably shouldn't mention. I couldn’t begin to explain the thrill of watching heads turn, we felt like we were on a reality TV show. Coming back after a great night, we rode the elevator up with a random man who even said himself we were the coolest bachelorette party he has seen all night. This of course was the icing on the cake.

The next morning we all woke up with texts from people in our high school, some whom we haven’t even spoken to since graduation. Questions such as, “who is she marrying?” “I didn’t even know she was engaged?!!?” “OMG Kaths getting married!!!!” and many more. Us being the friend group we are went along with it for quite some time and by "some time" I’m talking two or so months.

Basically what I'm trying to say is, if your friend is in-between that little black dress or the super cute white one, ALWAYS go with the white one and ALWAYS have a fake bachelorette party. You absolutely won’t regret it. Plus, why have one bachelorette party when you can have two?!

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
