In most countries it's common to have separate bachelor and bachelorette parties. The same goes for England, where the parties are called stag and hen do's - or parties. However, Holly Branson, daughter of Virgin tycoon Sir Richard Branson, and her fiancé, shipbroker Freddie Andrews, will have a joint party. Holly says of their plans, "We're planning a joint hen and stag do, we'll have separate dinners and then we'll all meet up after." The party will take place in Verbier, Switzerland, and it'll be a double celebration. "It's around the time we both turn 30, so we'll have a party with everyone the next night," Holly adds.

The couple will get married on Necker Island, Holly's father famously owns it and Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo wed there earlier this month. The ceremony will be a private occassion, for close friends and family, "I want to make sure that when I walk down the aisle I can see all my best friends and I want to see their faces smiling back at me, and not any random people," Holly concludes.

Kim Kardashian celebrates her bachelorette party

Kim Kardashian - Tao Bachelorette

Straws and a cake that can be used to study male anatomy, an illuminated tiara and a pink sash, spelling "Tao Bachelorette", those were the main accessories for Kim Kardashian's bachelorette party at Tao Las Vegas last Saturday night. Kim was also feted to a striptease by a miniature male stripper.

Khloe Kardashian had gone all out for Kim's bachelorette party. Kim told the crowd, ""My sisters are doing everything they can to embarrass me." Among the party guests were sisters Khloe and Kourtney, mom Kris  Jenner, and good friends LaLa Vasquez Anthony and Brittny Gastineau. All guests wore red light-up rings on their fingers.

Then the group went to see her soon-to-be husband. Fiancé Kris Humphries was celebrating his bachelor party at Lavo Las Vegas the same night. He celebrated his rite of passage with Rob Kardashian, Lamar Odom and several NBA players. Kris was downing shots and singing along to the DJ. The couple had agreed to not see each other at their respective parties, so he was a bit shocked when he saw Kim there. Ten minutes, and a make-out session later, Kim - and her crew - left Lavo to party somewhere else.
