Tarek El Moussa and Heather Rae Young’swedding is getting closer, and this weekend, they’re celebrating with a non-traditional event: a joint bachelor and bachelorette party!
A rep for the couple tells PEOPLE exclusively that the festivities will include “an 80s themed pool party.” There will also be “a special group dinner, as well as a spa morning for the guests.”
UnlikeHeather’s bridal shower, they won’t be documenting the night in any official capacity, though the social media savvy stars will no doubt post about their special fete.
“If you saw our @entertainmenttonight interview, I joke about our joint bachelor and bachelorette being ‘Heather’s idea’ but it was actually mine. Well, basically both of ours,” he captioned his post.
“We get that there are traditions and that usually bachelor and bachelorette parties aren’t co-ed but we don’t really care about any of that,” he continued. “Heather and I know that we have the most fun when we’re together and we both have the same friends that we’d want to spend the weekend with and party with so we wanted to combine the two… Making our own traditions up as we go along.”

As for who will be invited to the joint party, Young toldETthat all but one of herSelling Sunsetcastmates will be in attendance — the same ones who attended her first bridal shower and are invited to her wedding.
“They’re all invited except for one person. I think you guys can imagine who is not invited,“Young said of the wedding day, implying that it’s Christine Quinn, with whom she and otherSelling Sunsetstars have sparred on the Netflix reality series.
“But everyone is a part of it andthey were all at my bridal shower. We had a beautiful day, and they’re all gonna be at the bachelor/bachelorette party too, and the wedding,” the bride-to-be added in the interview published Wednesday.
Young also shared that she and El Moussa aren’t having a “traditional” wedding party — only a maid of honor (her sister) and a best man (his childhood best friend).
The bride- and groom-to-be first met in July 2019 andgot engaged a year later, when El Moussa popped the question during a romantic boat trip to Catalina Island, California.
