loveletslive Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 all of my girlfriends have had parties before entering. usually just a backyard barbeque with burgers, beer, and volleyball/frisbee, etc. my one friend, her mom threw her a themed "bride of christ" bachelorette party so it was bridal themed but all cute nun themed things and games. Like instead of making a wedding dress out of toilet paper they made habits ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carla Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I think party is great idea.To spend last quality time with people who are important in your life.If i ever do anything similar any gift are out of the question but some donation to Church or monastery will be nice.But this decision is different from person to person so you should do what your heart tells you.

ThereseMaria Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I think it would be fun! I was reading a blog by some Passionist nuns, and they had an example of this. It's a really cool idea! http://www.passionistnuns.org/blog/a-bride-of-christ-shower/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the171 Posted February 22, 2014 Author Share Posted February 22, 2014 We're planning on having a crawfish boil for my graduation party. It'll just be tied in as an early "sending off" because I'll be gone all summer. Nothing big. Just lots of friends, family, dancing, and food! (Louisiana Saturday night!

This is a great way to bring your friends together, discuss everything that happened in your life and hang out! I can advise you to read an article weddingforward.com/bachelor-party-ideas. There are ideas I was looking for my brother's bachelor party, but I think that they are suitable for any party. You're a spammer Annette. Laaaame. Regarding going away parties. I can see some people saying "no" because there is a decent chance a discerner doesn't enter permanently. Postulancy/ novitiate is just to try the life but lay people dont always "get" that. They think it's like getting married and then are scandalized when the individual comes home 1 year into it. Not sure how much we should skip doing good things just because some may misunderstand. I remember my parish had a small reception for me after a mass. It was nice. On 2/21/2014 at 3:12 PM, FutureSister2009 said: Nope Old thread. Wonder how you are.

gloriana35 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 When I entered the convent, my cousin threw a 'shower' for me. Some family gave money gifts, others such items as I needed. (Do NOT give a donation to the community - some superior may give it to a priest for his anniversary...) There are plenty of expenses one might not expect.

There are plenty of expenses one might not expect. Peo tip: if you want to gift someone money, give them a check and write the purpose it is restricted to in the memo line. That way it has to go where you intended it, legally. When I was in we got a lot of donations restricted to Dairy Queen ice cream trips because one if the sisters moms knew about how to do this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
