Party Like a Rock Star!

Have you ever wondered how some of your favorite stars celebrate before the big day? You’d me amazed how similar their parties are to those thrown by regular folks like you and me!

I thought it might be fun to share some of our favorite celebs’ pre-wedding celebrations. They may have money, but they don't always need to splurge on everything! With the right food and beverages, along with some sexy tunes to shake your bootie, you too can party like a celeb—trust me!

Josh Duhamel and Fergie decided to combine their bachelorette and bachelor parties and invited 75 of their friends for dinner and dancing at the Dakota Lounge in Santa Monica. This is pretty much what most couples today are doing before the main event. The days of celebrating with just the girls are a thing of the past for many. Some brides and grooms even have couples showers thrown for them. Having one big party together allows everyone to hang loose and just be around the ones they care about in a fun environment. No matter how much you have to splurge or where you go, the most important thing is celebrating with the people you know and love!

Rather than having just one big night together, some stars opt to spread the festivities out over a few days. When Britney Spears and Kevin Federline got married, Britney kicked off the wedding weekend with a bachelorette bash at the Fairmont Miramar Hotel while Kevin and his friends decided to have dinner at a nearby Houston’s restaurant. Although the evening started with each group doing their own thing, they all ended the night together with a party at the hotel. The next day they split up again for some relaxing fun—the girls went to the Burke Williams spa and the guys hit the links.

Christina Aguilera didn't take the “cheap” route by any means with her bachelorette getaway. She, along with her bridesmaids and close friends, experienced a four-day (yes, four days!) party at the One & Only Pamilla Resort in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. During the day they basked in the sun poolside and enjoyed spa services, and at night they partied at clubs, including Sammy Hagar's Cabo Wabo Cantina where they danced to 80s music all night long! That's my kind of party! Although, I have to wonder who picked up the tab on this one?

One thing you may want to keep in mind with all these pre-wedding parties is that they should be fun, non-intimidating events for the both of you. Whether you decide to celebrate together or apart, it's only one night—so live it up! The reality of having an event like this after you’re married is probably slim to none!

Don't forget to play it safe whereever you decide to party! I cannot tell you how many war stories I have of the bride spraining her ankle while she danced on the bar or the groom who broke his nose from mud wrestling...oops...did I say that? Men never do that kind of stuff anymore...I think :)
