In April, I mentioned that my friends Liz and Dave would be tying the knot in Boston. I'm happy to report that the ceremony and reception went off without a hitch, and the newlyweds are off on their honeymoon. The bride already knew how she'd be wearing her makeup, and her hair was styled in a classic looped bun.

I’ve attended my fair share of bachelorette parties, from the tame cocktail hour/swanky dinner varieties to the no-holds-barred blowouts complete with Chippendales and all things phallic. When it comes to celebrating the bride on her big night out, there is definitely a difference between classy and trashy. Don't get me wrong.

A few years ago, my dear friend Becky got hitched to a handsome fella. Before she walked down the aisle, we had a no-holds-barred bachelorette shindig for her. I was in charge of where we'd be going, and what we'd be doing, and I wanted to make the other guests feel special, too.

Some brides are low-key and happy to do their own hair and makeup. And then there are Bridezillas. Years ago, I worked with a woman who was so insistent that everything be "perfect" for her big day that she spent literally thousands of dollars on beauty treatments.
