So much for waiting! Ben Higgins and Lauren Bushnell have joint Bachelor and Bachelorette bash in Vegas despite saying they're in no rush to wed

There was more Bachelor craziness and stars than you could poke a stick at.

Just a day after revealing they are taking their wedding planning slow, Bachelor stars Ben Higgins and Lauren Bushnell headed to Las Vegas, Nevada for a joint Bachelor and Bachelorette bash.

As usually the big single send-off happens just before a wedding, looks like these two may be heading down the aisle earlier than expected - that or it matched their reality television filming schedule.

Party time! Just a day after revealing they are taking their wedding planning slow, Bachelor stars Ben Higgins and Lauren Bushnell headed to Las Vegas, Nevada on Thursday for a joint Bachelor and Bachelorette bash

The couple who met and fell in love on our television screens were joined by a host of fellow Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise stars on Thursday as they kicked off a long week of partying.

Ben and Lauren have a new reality show, Ben and Lauren: Happily Ever After, premiering on October 11, so they were joined by a camera crew.

But while the official party footage is still a ways away, their social media savvy guests made sure to capture all their antics on Instagram and Snapchat.

The group of party people included Ashley Iaconetti, twins Haley and Emily Ferguson, Tanner Tolbert, Amanda Stanton, Jared Haibon and JJ Lane.

Kick off: Lauren struggled as the group kicked off the Bachelor party like any party in Vegas should - day drinking by the MGM Grand pool

As the reality cameras rolled, the group kicked off the Bachelor party like any party in Vegas should - day drinking by the MGM Grand pool.

But of course, the real fun happens at night so they men and the women split up for a night on the town.

The ladies were chauffeured around in a giant limo that was so big the bride-to-be could show off her rather bizarre dance moves.

Romp about like Lauren in this Saylor off shoulder playsuit

Lauren Bushnell is ready to P-A-R-T-Y! She's in Las Vegas for her joint Bachelor/Bachelorette party and puts on a playful white ruffled romper for the big night out.

This fun and flirty look is by Saylor and available at Shopbop right now. The best part is that it's on sale for only $177.10! However, if your size is sold out, we've got your covered with our inspired edit below.

A romper is an excellent option for a wild night out because you can dance the night away without worrying about flashing people. This ruffled number would be a perfect in not only Las Vegas but we imagine it to be a go-to piece for the French Riveria for the upcoming holiday jetset season.

Pair it with some wedges for a more casual look or go glam with a pair of strappy barely there black sandals from Stuart Weitzman. Either way you can't go wrong since this romper just exudes fun!

While the girls got turnt up the boys turned their bus into a moving karaoke bar with beers and almost tears as they dramatically belted out Lukas Graham and Ed Sherran tracks.

On Friday morning there was likely a lot of sore heads but the group still have a whole weekend of partying ahead of them.

Just this week Ben, 28, and Lauren, 25, said they were not rushing to the altar.

Lauren told People: 'We are not in any rush. But everyone else around us is! We're both ready to get married, but we haven't set a date because we want to make sure we're not doing it for anyone but ourselves.'

Ben said that is not to say they are not dedicated to each other: 'It doesn't say anything about cold feet or second thoughts. 

'We just want to do it on our own terms. And we want to be engaged. We don't want to look back when we're fifty and think we could have enjoyed this time more.'

The couple, who got engaged in November, have been getting therapy to ensure their relationship is strong enough for marriage.

'We're not the perfect couple. Far from it!' Ben said. 'But we are trying really hard and we love each other a lot.'

Ben and Lauren have been going to couples counseling at their church, because they 'want to get a foundation that is healthy and pure and honest, with some help from a mediator,' he said.
