After Meghan Markle and Prince Harry announced their engagement, many are excited to get details about their upcoming wedding. Recent news reveals some information about Meghan's bachelorette party.

According to US Weekly, her party will not be wild. In fact, it will be attended by both males and females. Instead of a being a bachelorette party to say good-bye to her single life, it will be a celebration of friendship and love. The unisex event will be attended by the usual faces including Meghan's best friends Markus Anderson, Lindsay Jill Roth, and Jessica Mulroney.

"Meghan will be having a party but won't be calling it her 'bachelorette,'" a source said according to the outlet. "Think low-key, think somewhere out of London, good food, and drink, a little music. It won't be wild."

Although the couple will follow royal traditions, they want to do everything on their own way since the day is about them and what they want to do. Because of that, there will be unconventional surprises during the wedding since the pair will keep it personal.

One proof that they want to do things in a different way is the absence of a bridal registry. Instead of the usual gifts, they encourage their family, friends, and well-wishers to donate anonymously to a charitable gift fund.

In another news, Meghan revealed that Prince Harry is a feminist during their first visit to Wales. While taking a long walk to greet admirers, Jessica Phillips told Meghan that it is "lovely to have a feminist in the Royal Family." In response, Meghan pointed to her fiance saying that he is also a feminist.

The "Suits" star and Prince Harry are set to tie the knot on May 19 at Windsor Castle's St. George's Chapel.
