Bachelorette Party Tips
The Do’s and Don’ts of any last night
out! - Get ready for the fun at you
or your friend’s bachelorette party this season. Before the big
last night out, there are some basic social rules to go over in
making sure your rock star party ends up on the memorable list:
Dress the Part – Get all
sassy’d up to make your presence known at you or your friend’s
bachelorette party! It is great to have all the girls dress in
uniform, whether all in black, red or in a theme like sixties,
disco, playmates, etc. Let the girls know ASAP so they can plan
ahead and have fun coming up with the costumes! Check out our
bachelorette party themes.
Comfy Clothing – No matter
what you wear, just make sure it is comfortable so you have an
enjoyable time. There is nothing worse than wearing
uncomfortable heels, too tight of clothing that cuts off
circulation or an itchy blouse. Plan ahead and party in comfort!
Credit Cards and/or Cash –
Don’t be a panhandler by making sure you have some funds to
bring to the bachelorette party. It is a downer when friends
have to cover you (unless you don’t have the funds and someone
can cover you, knowing prior to the party). Find out what is
included in the festivities prior to the party to figure out
what you should bring as well as a credit card just in case.
Get the VIP Treatment –
Discounts are plenty in this economy as well as receiving primo
treatment for your business! Make sure to call in advance to any
venue or
entertainment company and let them know what you want or
what the company can provide your bachelorette party to see who
wins your business.
Less is More – Watch what you
bring, especially if you are
drinking. Don’t bring a purse that includes the kitchen
sink. Bring only the necessities and you will be less concerned
about losing your favorite Coach or Gucci leather accessory
pouch.
Smell Nice – Make a great
first impression by smelling the part. Make sure not to forget
deodorant or perfume (but not too much). Bring a mini perfume
bottle just in case one of the girls forgets to take this
advice. Mints are also a must, especially if you are going out
to eat!
Re-Glamorize – Bring the
essentials of beauty with you during your last night out,
especially if you are out of town or blazing on a dance floor.
There is nothing like a basic touch up a few hours into the
bachelorette party which will make you glow once again! Bring
enough for those who forget and need a tune-up.
Decorations, Supplies and Games
– Make the party festive and interesting with bachelorette party
decorations,
supplies and
bachelorette party games. Plan as early as possible and you
can find great deals or make your own
bachelorette party decorations to add glam to any last night
out!
These basic
tips can save the night from being a bachelorette blunder. Enjoy
the party and spread the word on how to optimize your
festivities. Next issue will uncover how to stay away from party
fouls of bachelorettehood.
Don’t Drink and Drive – This
is the most important of all the blunders. No one wants to have
a memorable time that includes a totaled car, DUI, and possible
injuries. Make sure to plan ahead with sober drivers, a taxi,
party bus or limousine! You will have a more enjoyable party
without the worry.
Cellularitis – Friends don’t
let friends stay on cell phones for the majority of the party.
Whether you are speaking to our boyfriend, husband, sorority
sister or grandma Roselyn, make sure to be sensitive to being
present with your friends at the party and not in cellular hell.
It is a turnoff to those party-goers around you and also rude.
Have fun in the moment with the other bachelorettes and focus on
the bride-to-be (unless she is the one on the phone).
Show that Beautiful Face –
If you are wearing costumes for the bachelorette party, make
sure they are not covering up your pretty faces! The last thing
you want to be looking like is “The Thing”. Choose a costume
that gives some sassy appeal, even if in funny outfits. It is
always fun to get looks that are amusing and positive without
those that are embarrassing.
Don’t be Offensive – If you
normally have a trucker mouth or have someone present that likes
to drop F bombs, try and tone it down with some appropriate diva
talk since you are one of many that represent the group. It
would be sad for party people to banish the bachelorette party
or an individual diva due to a filthy mouth or obscene gestures
that are not in good taste. Also stay away from cat fights since
drama can be left up to Lindsay and Paris.
Last Minute Planning – The
bachelorette party is supposed to be a fun and memorable
experience, not a cram to plan like memorizing for a final in
high school or college. Plan way ahead and you will have a more
stress free and more organized party. Last minute touches are
great but not if they are planning the majority of the last
night out in a 24 hour cram session. Start the buzz of the party
by sending out early invites with back and forth banter to
excite the girls about the up-n-coming party!
A Bridesmaid Bash – An
important tip to remember is to plan a party around the
bride-to-be’s interests, not what makes the
bridesmaids’ happy. If the bachelorette is
conservative, don’t try to overly embarrass her so she dreads
her own party. Include her interests and temperament so she can
enjoy her own last night out! A
male dancer may be too uncomfortable yet a home party with
generic plates may bore her. You know who she is so plan her
party with the right ingredients.
Bridesmaidzilla – If having
a bachelorette party that includes sweating or more physical
party endurance (e.g., dancing, karaoke), make sure you don’t
have the make-up from an Alice Cooper concert! Take time to
freshen up and bring reinforcements for the other divas in case
they forget.
I hope these tips
help in saving you from a bachelorette mishap. Be the hero of
the party by printing out this article to other divas to
increase the chances of having the bachelorette party of the
season and a memorable time with good friends!
