My friend is getting married and us, her friends, are arranging a couple’s party where all of their close friends will attend. We have a problem with the budget. Is it right to make all the guests contribute some small amount for the event? If yes how do we collect the contributions? On the event itself??

Initially it was supposed to be just a bridal shower but was changed to shared bridal shower & stag party so is it okay to have male & female strippers at the same event?

What happens at a Stage Party. My boyfriend is going to one Saturday night. He’s gone to them before, but I’ve never asked. I’m curious to know what they are all about. I don’t want to ask him, b/c I feel like it’s intruding on this male tradition. Sort of like, if a man asks what happens at a bridal shower or a bachorlette party.
are there always strippers?
