Bachelorette Party Dos and Don'ts in GIFs

Even if you aren't a fan of weddings, there is one event of wedding season that we all love: bachelorette parties! The bachelorette party is the final shebang of singlehood for the bride-to-be, and the girls' night out is traditionally filled with alcohol, phallic-shaped accessories, and shirtless men. But whether the event is a mild wine tasting or involves stripper poles, there are some etiquette rules to keep in mind as a bridesmaid or bridal partygoer. To get our point across, we're illustrating these bachelorette party dos and don'ts with GIFs from movies like Magic Mike, Bridesmaids, and Bachelorette, along with TV shows like SNL and The Bachelor. So before you wake up on your girlfriend's couch with an empty bottle of vodka in your hand and a glitter smeared in questionable areas on your body, let's go over the rules of a successful bachelorette party.
