Here are some simple tips for having the most fun at a bachelorette party.

What to Wear? Dress to kill. There is no better time to wear your Prada shoes then out with the girls. Unless you are going on a hay ride or something filthy wear your cutest stuff.

What to bring? A gift is a good idea. Something filthy is always good. Also, you should consider giving the bridesmaid who planned the party some cash. She has probably already shelled out hundreds for the bridal shower, she could use a twenty from a friend. Especially if you don't know her well. Also, bring some $1 bills they may come in handy. :)

What to do? Relax and have a good time. As an attendee you should plan to either drink or drive but not both. If you are going to drive, plan on staying out really late because others are going to rely on you. If you are non-drinker and are planning to leave early, let people know so that a bunch of drunks don't try to drive at the end of the night. As an attendee, you shouldn't need to plan anything, just go with the flow.

Mistakes to Avoid. Don't get between a bridesmaid and the bride. It is likely that one or all of them have been spending big bucks on these events and they are going protect the bride like a mother-bear with her cubs. Be social and be sure to thank the bridesmaids for hosting the party.

Drink two glasses of water before bed. If you do end up with a hangover, I find that gatorade is the best cure.

Party Etiquette. If you don't know anyone at the party here are a few rules.

• Always do the shot unless you are driving.
• Don't be the first to grab something, don't be the last.
• Think about what a good wife would do, then do the opposite.
• Don't tell anyone about what you saw at the party unless you are sure they saw it too.

Excuses and Alibis: I have become semi-famous for this piece of advice and I hope it is useful to you. Here goes:

Always claim that the party wasn't fun. People believe it. If you saw men during the evening kick the intensity level down a notch for your story For example, if you saw naked men you will say that they kept their underwear on. If you saw men with their underwear on then you just looked at playgirl magazines. If you didn't even see playgirl magazines then YOU need to throw the next party.

Excuse portion #2. The best alibi is to mention the oldest, pudiest person at the party and to let people know that she was in attendance. Even if the grandmother of the bride was there just long enough to deliver some cupcakes, use her as your alibi. "The party was kinda boring, the bride's grandma was there". Works every time.
