To begin, I misunderstood the invite from Maleeha (the organizer of Irene's bachelorette party). It said the theme was sexy lingerie- I thought that meant to wear lingerie to the party- but it really meant to buy lingerie for Irene. Fortunately I only worn nice sleepwear- one of the cute outfits Sarah got me for Christmas- which most people thought was a casual outfit anyway. While everyone else got presents like teddies, I got her some godiva chocolate- three kinds actually.
The games were definately different. No wonder guys don't come to these things, I was embarassed myself just to watch. There was pin the cucumber on the hunk- comes with its own inflatable cucumber and adhesives. The idea is to have someone spin you around and point you in the right direction- then you stick the cucumber to the hunk poster.
Then Maleeha had asked Ian questions about when they met and more personal topics. The idea was for Irene to answer the same questions and see what her answers were. Overall she got most right. The most surprising bit was the comments that Irene's mom made- she had us all rolling on the floor with laughter. Then there was the game "I never ..." one person reads some pretty outrageous and embarrasing statements out loud, if you have ever done any of the statements (eg. I never mix bring food into the bedroom) then you take a drink from your cup. This is a game to really let you learn about people you thought you knew.
Overall there were plenty of phallic symbols; just ot list a few not mentioned above: one phallic shaped container that Irene had to drink from, phallic shaped eclairs and chocolate cookies, and phallic shaped ice cubes. It was definately an interesting experience, glad I went and glad I didn't have one before my own wedding.
