Be yourself. Don't force your writing.


All your sentences above are OK - apart from the change shown

Different cultures hold different parties for different reasons before a wedding. What exactly are you talking about?

Over in the UK it could be engagement party, hen night, stag night. Over in the US it could be engagement party, rehearsal party, batchelor party, batchelorette party....
