Serena had celebrated her upcoming nuptials with Venus and a few girl friends earlier this month in New York City. The group, which included LaLa and Ciara, enjoyed five-star spa treatments, trapeze'ing and tea brunches, dinner and dancing.

Alexis had a bachelor party on Tuesday night at the Frankie & Johnny's seafood restaurant in New Orleans on Tuesday night. He and his group dined on several traditional New Orleans dishes like red beans and rice and Po' boys and drank beer and water.

"It was a good-size group and they enjoyed themselves," a source told E! News. "It seems like they chose Frankie and Johnny's because they wanted to have an authentic New Orleans experience."
