I wonder if, truth be told, more bachelor and bachelorette parties are the way they are because of peer pressure? Especially the ones that focus on going wild, the "last night of freedom," all that. Usually that kind of party is planned by a person's friends, and I wonder if they get out of hand in an effort to be "legendary" in the future, almost.
Which isn't an excuse. My fiance and I skipped the parties, too -- they seemed silly when we had family in town that we wanted to see. If a person is adult enough to get married, they should be adult enough to be able to specify what they do and don't want in terms of celebration. But then, we also have a 50% divorce rate in this country, so maybe it's not surprising that there are some communication and commitment issues from the getgo.
