[edit] misc

Should be moved to wiktionary --LeeHunter 13:13, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, unless it's expanded into an encyclopedic article -- Joolz 17:11, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Is it really "Consequences" being played, or "Truth or Consequences" (which I had expected)?

This article contains Weasel Words (for example: "It is estimated that less than 20% of all bachelorette parties include a stripper." ...who estimates this? where are the sources? that statements nothing but an unvarifiable generality)

[edit] L-plates

A common gift at these parties is "a square plate bearing a sans-serif letter L, for "learner", which must be affixed to the front and back of a car in many countries if its driver is a learner under instruction?" I didn't think that they were so tame. --Descendall 20:07, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

heh, I see I'm not the first to have this question... Scott Ritchie 02:01, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image

The illustration for the article, Image:Bride-one.jpg, has been deleted a couple of times without comment. It seems like an excellent illustration of the article to me, but since this has happened a couple of times I wanted to start a dialogue here. -- Siobhan Hansa 18:29, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

I think it's appropriate, though it might also be good to show another image. I wonder if we should have a model release on that photo. -- Subsolar 02:04, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Is the picture really needed for this article? Kingpomba 11:38, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Before the image there was an "Image please" tag added by someone, and the image itself survived deletion - so I would say yes, it's a good idea to keep it. Orpheus 12:20, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

The "bride got stripped to her underwear" pic seems very appropriate for the article.-69.87.204.183 (talk) 00:43, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Difference

I believe a "stag" or "stagette" for women is more common in Canada. Well, particularly in southern ontario. I believe that should be mentioned Canking 19:27, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

I have gone ahead and made the change. Some it seems had already mentioned this on the bachelor page Canking 00:37, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] hen party vs. shower

The article needs more discussion of parallel customs world wide. And needs to compare and contrast with showers. In particular, does anyone have both a hen and a separate shower? If not, then it seems clear that it is just a type of shower? -69.87.204.183 (talk) 00:43, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
