This, he thinks, has to be a decent bachelorette party.
Maybe not for the average bride, maybe other people out there want strippers and sashes that read BRIDE-TO-BE and phallic decorations, but Peggy had made it very clear to John that she wanted none of that.
So he'd rented out a bar. An entire bar. The guest list isn't particularly extensive, they don't need the entire bar, but he'd seen no reason not to do it anyway. It means they have the entire place to themselves, they can control the music, and the bartender has only them to serve. And John has paid a flat fee for the bartender and the serving staff, plus given them a significant tip, so they're attending the party perfectly.
The bar is nice, with comfortable chairs and several pool tables, as well as a well stocked jukebox that he thinks has just about anything someone might think to play. Maybe not Dutch, she probably knows songs none of them have ever heard before, but there's probably plenty on the jukebox she'll still enjoy.
There are appetizers, lots of them, covering just about any option a person could want. The same goes for alcohol.
All in all, for someone not all that inclined toward attending parties, he thinks he's done a fairly good job capturing something Peggy will enjoy. And that's the point of tonight, giving her a party to celebrate her future and everything that's to come with people she enjoys spending time with.

"That said, I honestly cannot imagine that I would have done it without Daniel," she says, with the firmness of a woman who's made up her mind. "So obviously he must have been there with us."

But the organization had been a sprawling one, as far as he understood it. A massive enterprise with research and technological arms, as well as those used for information collection and espionage. So Thor is thoroughly impressed by the fact of her and her soon-to-be husband having been two of its founders.
"Impressive," and as there is something in her that reminds him of the Valkyrie he'd just met, he assures her "Not that you need my approval, obviously. But very impressive all the same."

"Where you're from, you know of it? How?" she asks, wondering how they might have come into contact and how they might have interacted before all of this.
