Planning a bachelorette
party can be a lot of fun, but can also be stressful for
those of you who have never been in charge of the planning. In
addition, those maids-of-honors and bridesmaids who are
bachelorette party veterans but looking for new ideas can also
benefit from this section. We have added an itinerary of how to
have the ultimate bachelorette party.
It is fun to make it an all day and
night event for those who can attend, especially since the
bachelorette party represents the official "Last Night Out" as
for your friend's last big party of singlehood is spent with her
friends. Below we have included the most optimal day and evening
events as well as the ability for those bachelorettes to join at
any time during the party schedule:
Have
the girls show up to a primary destination early in the day.
Either have pre-selected sober drivers or hire a party
bus/limo service.
Go
to a spa or plan an
exotic dance lesson with the girls who can start the
party early. Have a relaxing and fun time with the
bachelorette as you learn some new moves or get your
manicures and pedicures.
Change
into more clubware and do a bachelorette party happy hour
with the girls, whether at home, hotel or restaurant. Have
the bridesmaids and friends show up to this destination if
they could not make it earlier in the day. Make sure to
bring the bachelorette party
supplies and bachelorette party decorations.
Do
some ice breaker bachelorette party games which you can
make or purchase. Make sure to introduce everyone who is
there to one another if there is a mix of friends. Also
don't force everyone to play along if they feel
uncomfortable.
Have
a meal or finger
foods and snacks as well as drinks. Make sure to have
non-alcoholic drinks as well for those who may be driving or
just want virgin drinks.
Invite
your favorite
entertainment or go out to a male review or
club/restaurant. Play a scavenger hunt game for those
bridesmaids wanting to participate.
Complete
the party with a bachelorette party gag gift or sentimental
present from the girls. You can find tons of items by
clicking on the lipstick navigation to the left. Tell funny
stories about the bachelorette as a group. Try not to
embarrass her too much!

Again, the right
bachelorette party planning can make this year's party the best
ever! You need to make sure and plan for invitations, food,
drink, decorations and music. The key is a little advanced
planning and some helpful ideas and your own creativity to avoid
possible issues while enhancing the best bachelorette party of
your life! Below are some additional bachelorette party tips and
suggestions that can help you while planning your last night
out.
Decide
how much you can
afford to spend for your bachelorette party as early as
possible and write out a budget. Generally speaking, the
more elaborate the party, the more it will cost and take
more time to plan and setup. Decorations can be costly, so
check discount stores for inexpensive decorations and paper
tableware. You'll find some tips throughout the site for
bachelorette party supplies and ideas that fit your
bride-to-be's personality.
Make
a
party check list well in advance and then use it.
Preparing a bachelorette party check list allows you to plan
every aspect of the last night out and gives you a visual
reference guide. Draw out a floor plan of the areas in or
outside your bachelorette party venue where the party will
be held. Write an agenda for the party. Basically this is a
timeline of events starting with when the guests will begin
arriving, when the dance music will start, when games will
be played, and any other special activities that you have
planned.
Decide
on a date and time for your bachelorette party. Try to hold
it a few weeks at a minimum prior to the wedding. If
possible, don't have it too close to the wedding as you want
to make sure no one is sick and that there are no hangovers
or tired guests prior to the main event. Give your
bachelorette party guests enough time by sending out the
bachelorette
invitations very early. You should call people who
didn't R.S.V.P. to find out if they're coming to the party
or not.
Knowing
how many people will actually be at your bachelorette party
is essential to its planning and success! When making out
your guest list, calculate the maximum number of people the
area in the venue you choose, where the party will be held
can accommodate comfortably. Let those invited know in the
invitation what they need to bring and the where, when and
how much. Weddings have become much more expensive so help
the bachelorette guests know what they are in for and then
plan accordingly as you may change plans if many cannot
afford what you are planning. Use the power of your guests
to get group discounts!
Will
a bachelorette party theme be required? - We always say it
is more fun in a bachelorette
theme but plan early for this so the girls can get what
is needed and save some money. If you throw a co-ed
bachelorette party, you still can have a theme but it will
need to be a little more creative!
Prepare
a menu plan for what type of bachelorette
food and beverage you want to serve for a home party and
how much you will need based on the amount of people you
invite. You can find all kinds of treat and food ideas
throughout our site. Do you want people to bring some food
or treats with them to the party, sort of a Bachelorette
Pot-Luck. This cuts down on the amount of cooking you'll
have to do and is a great way to end up with a diverse treat
table. If you are going out, make sure to have the
reservations early.
If you are going
away for the bachelorette party, make sure to plan the event way
in advance so all the bachelorettes have time to plan,
especially if they have children or big children
(husbands/boyfriends). We hope you find these bachelorette party
ideas helpful and would love to hear from you on your ultimate
bachelorette party planning. Also send pictures as we would love
to share them on the site with others! Email us at
