So you’re looking to plan a bachelorette party? Let’s make sure your bride’s last days of being a single gal is exactly what she was hoping for. And lucky for you, I got just the tips for you to make sure your night of fun doesn’t turn into a night of cat-fighting drama.
ASK THE BRIDE TO BE WHAT SHE WANTS TO DO
This would seem like the sensible thing to do but for those of you who want to surprise your friend make sure you at least know what she’s expecting or NOT expecting. Talk it through and listen to some of her ideas, of course you can throw in a few surprises here and there but just make sure the bride to be will not be offended or hurt by your party plans.
BE MINDFUL OF COST AND OTHER GUESTS
Girls just wanna have fun, right?! Well, all that fun can come at a price so make sure everyone is on the same page on what they’re responsible for. Generally around $50- 100 each bridesmaid is acceptable depending on how many girls you have and what the plans are. Have a little get together and ask what everyone is willing to put out as your budget may determine what you can do for the night. I’d also suggest getting the money upfront so there’s awkward asking of money when you’re just trying to have a good time.
KEEP IT SIMPLE
It may seem like an awesome idea to go bar hopping when you’re planning but the truth is there’s a chance a good part of your night can be spent finding a taxi and getting everyone together, which is no fun at all! If you have the option to have a more private party choose it. Whether it be a friend’s house or a VIP lounge, you get to experience fun with your favorite girls rather than strangers. And perhaps a Spa Day or party games at the house seem more appealing anyways, so double win!
DON’T LEAVE EVERYTHING TO THE LAST MINUTE
As soon as your bride asks you to organize her bachelorette party, send out a ‘save the date’ to all attendees and start making ‘to do’ lists, so that you can stay on top of planning. This is a very special time that allows her to simply relax and not have to worry about any wedding stressors so if you’re on the ball, her time will be
Have FUN!
Girls just wanna have fun! So maybe not everything worked out as planned but if you see the bride-to-be is having a good time then forget about all the little details that didn’t pan out and enjoy yourself.
