Bachelorette Party Planning:
The Economical and Earth-Friendly Way
So
you are planning a bachelorette party during one of the worst
economic times of our century. Many
bridesmaids or their significant others may be losing their
jobs and/or watching their money very closely. We felt it would
be helpful to give you our 411 on how to have an economical (yet
still fun) bachelorette party. We also felt it would be helpful
to point out how to stay green and do our share to protect the
environment. Below, we have provided some bachelorette party
tips in these areas:
1) Have
The Bachelorette Party Close to Home - Travel can get
expensive when you take the flight, room, food, drinks, etc into
account. Have a home party with cute
bachelorette party decorations or go to a near by restaurant
and/or bar with a sober driver or
bachelorette party limo or party bus.
2) Ask
For Group Discounts - Many places will give you a
bachelorette party volume discount as they want your business
more than ever. Use your bachelorette party girl power to get
great deals since it is a buyer's market and many venues and
services are struggling.
3) Plan
Ahead and Stay Organized - Make sure to start
planning your bachelorette party way in advance so you can
organize and know exactly what you are doing. Statistically,
those doing last minute planning spend more. We also see many
people at www.bachelorettepartyfun.com order at the last minute
and know they will be paying more for shipping or their plans
out since they did not have time to get discounts or have a plan
of "Last Night Out" action!
4)
E-Vite Instead of Invite - Get everyone's emails and
send out a bachelorette party invitation e-vite, instead of
spending money on paper bachelorette party invitations. If you
still want to do the classic sending of
bachelorette party invitations, check out our economical
selection.
5) Create Your Own Bachelorette Party Decorations - Get some colored construction paper, glitter, glue and make your own bachelorette party decorations. Write "Last Night Out", "Bride-2-B", and other cute sayings on paper rolls. Make a pre-planning party out of it which is fun and a great ice breaker to meet the other bridesmaids.
Staying Green: Make sure
to use recycled paper for the
bachelorette party decorations.
6)
Pre-Party Before Going Out - It is much more
economical to purchase Costco/ Wallmart/ Smart&Final appetizers
and alcohol than to go out and pay for it at some bar or
restaurant. Have pre-bachelorette party festivities before going
out on the town. This will save everyone some money and still be
lots of fun.
7) Get
Some Hunk Films Instead of Hiring a Male Stripper -
Have fun with the girls without the meat. If you are going to
hire a
male stripper, check out our entertainment directory to find
a sexy and reasonably priced male dancer. Also make sure to ask
what the exact rates/tips are so you don't feel slighted by how
much it actually may cost.
8) Make
Your Own Bachelorette Party Games - Stick candy on a
bachelorette party t-shirt and write "Suck 4 A Buck". If you
go out, play games such as quarters, "I Never" as well as tell
funny stories about the bachelorette. Check out our
bachelorette party games section or go to our reasonably
priced
bachelorette party games.
9) Have
a Bachelorette Party During the Week - There are much
better deals during the week than on holidays and weekends. Call
ahead and ask for the place's deals. Any Friday and Saturday
bachelorette party will most likely cost the group more.
10)
Supply and Demand - Call a few bachelorette party
venues you are interested in and have them compete for your
business. See who offers you the best package rate and let them
know you are calling around. See if you get complimentary
appetizers, meals or desserts for the bachelorette and maid of
honor. Also ask if they take discount cards like AAA or see
about coupons (which many times you can find coupon codes on the
internet). You can also contact the bridesmaids early and see if
anyone has hook-ups for any nice place. Maybe a club entry,
bottle service, discounted limo, etc. Work your bachelorette
party magic!
I hope this bachelorette party
tip information was helpful and that you have a great Last Night
Out!
