pre-union celebration

1. The politically correct term for a "bachelor party" (or "bachelorette party"). Typically used to avoid the negative connotations associated with bachelor parties. 2. A celebration prior to a couple's wedding.

Benefit of the word: If used quickly, the listener may think you said "reunion" celebration and will not question you regarding a "pre-union" celebration.
