Time for installation #7 of Foodie Registry’s “LunchDate” blog feature, where they ask a distinguished panel of wedding experts from across the country the same wedding related question and serve up the answers for our readers in one delicious post.

The question this week was: What is your favorite bachelorette party location or activity in your city?

We love Foodie Registry’s thoughts on this! “Bachelorette parties can be awesome… but they can also get weird… quick. Despite your bestie’s noble intentions, if you take a half-baked plan for the night… add a dash of alcohol… BAM! Next thing you know you’re covered in toilet paper, dollar bills and random phallic devices. Which is, like, totally cool… if that’s your thing. At Foodie Registry, we’re all about brides and grooms doing whatever makes them happy above all else and not letting anyone else tell them exactly what should make them happy. Nevertheless, having a good idea of what you want to do for your bachelorette party – and making sure your crew is on the same page – could prevent some hassles later… or at least make sure you don’t end up in an uncompromising tag on Facebook.”

Wedding planner Beth Bernstein of SQN Events: “Chicago has so many options for great bachelorette parties. A totally unique option is to have the bachelorette party come to you. No, it’s not what you think. Kit Kat Lounge & Supper Club in Lakeview, featuring more than 200 cocktails, great food and fun entertainment by “The Divas,” will now bring the Kit Kat experience to you. How much fun would it be sipping a watermelon martini or “Ruby Slipper” while be entertained by Lady Gaga, Fergie and Madonna right in your living room?! I think I’ll throw myself another bachelorette party just to see this for myself!”

Tatiana Abramova a/k/a Gourmet Rambler: “I am a big proponent of doing something a bit different for a bachelorette party. So, I would start with a private wine and cheese tasting at Pastoral, then dinner and dancing at La Pena and finish the night with a late night jazz session at the world famous Green Mill Cocktail Lounge!”

Our Editor-in-Chief Claudia Antony Zompa was quoted: “Start with bubbly & mani/pedis in the afternoon. Off to a great family style dinner (gotta get food into your tummy & family style gets those girls that don’t know each other to talk to one another). Skip the strippers (yuck!) but head to a drag show – think Baton Club or Kit Kat Club. Then go out & “dance, dance like it’s the last, last night of your life” (thanks Usher!).”

One extra one today from wedding planner Carlene Smith of Naturally Yours Events: “I love the idea of hosting a party at Bottle and Bottega. They provide hands-on art instruction and all your art supplies- you just grab the girls and the wine (it’s BYOB)! You can host in their studio or just about anywhere for a really unique and fun experience.”
