Take a step back - when did bachelor/bachelorette parties become such a big deal?
I'll tell you when - around 2007-2008. I used to work as an event photographer and that's when we started seeing the mean-spirited bachelorette parties start taking over bars. Shortly thereafter, and for sure by 2012 when the economy started recovering, we saw the rise of the bachelorette-industrial complex, and the same people who invented "Nashville" hot chicken started peddling the Nashville pedal wagons to attention-starved bachelorettes whose best friend just did a Las Vegas bachelorette party so OMG they had to do something different. Except it's the same.
Similarly, the "destination wedding" didn't exist on anything resembling the current scale pre-social media. Nobody saw your wedding photos in the past. Now you'll see women spread the posting of their wedding photos out over several photo dumps to arouse maximum jealousy.
