3. Trust your man. As stupid, immature and offensive as some bachelor parties are, they're pretty harmless as long as your fiance is a decent and faithful guy whom you trust. And you wouldn't be marrying him otherwise, right?

4. Plan a party of your own. There's no reason for you to sit at home alone while he's out with his buds. Go out with the girls! It doesn't have to be a traditional bachelorette bash -- just get out there and have fun.

5. Be as open about your own party plans as you want him to be about his. If you're tight-lipped, he'll be tight-lipped. If you're willing to spill, he will, too -- at least enough to make you feel comfortably in the loop. Forget the play-by-play, though; there's such a thing as being too honest.
