Pure Romance Party?

A friend suggested I do a Pure Romance party for my sisters bachelorette party...has anyone ever been to one before? Is that a good idea, or would it not be too much fun.

Re: Pure Romance Party?

  • I've cohosted one of these parties, and let me tell you that the consultants are not shy in describing the products.  They also encourage attendees to join in on the talk.  If you plan to invite the moms, make sure that you and your sisters will be comfortable talking about vibrators and stimulation in front of them.  I'm sure you can ask the consultant to stick to non-toy products (lotions, bubblebath, etc), but remember that the toys are their bread and butter.

  • I was invited to a bridal shower for one of the girls I used to work with, and it was hosted by another coworker. They invited everyone from our work, including the old ladies, and then when we got there we found out it was one of these parties. I am completely shy and I thought I was going to die if I had to sit through one more minute of it. They made us come up with like "play names" and I just wanted to run out of that place, esp. infront of all my coworkers!!! It scarred me for life lol

    I personally would never go to one again, but I am a complete goody goody. The other people at the party were VERY uncomfortable. My advice is to just make sure people know what they are getting into before they come and it's not some kind of surprise!  That way, the people that don't like that kind of stuff can just decline.

    Thank you, good advice! I planned to put the agenda on the invite - dinner first, pure romance party next, bars after - if I did it, just so everyone knows exactly what would be going on.

    P.S. One of my other friends was invited to one by a coworker at an internship she had just started, not wantint to be rude she accepted, and they were told to show with their hands how tight they think their vaginas are. WHAT? With all these woman she didn't know at internship she had just started, I would be mortifed!

    Luckily our group would be a very small, close group of friends. :)

    Good idea about the non-type party, but luckily around here, it's pretty uncommon to invite the mothers/mils to the b-party. At least in our group for sure, the mothers never come.

  • I'm late on this, but this if what the girls had for my Bach Party.  I've worked in clinics for years as a Patient Educator so talking about sex, condoms, lube etc is not a huge deal for me.  And my friends are used to it.  So the party was actually very funny and the girls got a big kick out of it.  I wanted to do stripper pole lessons (that was my first choice) but after much drama, this was the girls second choice.  It was fun.  And as the bride, I got a lot of gifts and didn't have to buy anything. :)
