10 Easy Steps on How to Plan her Bachelorette Party!
You
have been honored with the title of “Bridesmaid” or even “Maid-of-Honor”. With this title I’m sure that you have been
busy helping her pick out the perfect dress, picking out your own dress, and maybe
have even gone to a few tastings. Yes
these items are very important, but the most important responsibility in the
Bride’s eyes, is planning her Bachelorette Party! Stuck on how to plan this
special, fun & crazy night? I have
listed out ten easy steps that will make planning a lot less stressful and will
guarantee that the Bride will have the time of her life!
1. Whose in the Bridal Party?
Knowing who is in the Bridal Party
will definitely be the first step! Request a list of the Bridal Party and their
contact information from the Bride. Also,
ask the Bride who she wants there. A lot
of the time the Bride will want other close friends, family members and maybe
even her and her fiancé’s mothers.
2. Decide the Theme!
This is the fun part! Being one of her Bridesmaids means that you
and the others know her the best.
Knowing her personality and what her favorite things are can help you
decide what you would like the theme to be. Also, remember to consider your
guests when choosing the theme. Some
might not as be comfortable in certain situations as others may be. With this all being said, here are some
examples of Bachelorette Party Themes:
·
Summer/ Themed: Beach, Pool, Spa Day
·
The Year She Was Born: If she was born in the
80s, have an 80s themed Bachelorette Party
·
Pretty in Pink
·
Las Vegas: Whether your in Vegas or want your
theme to be Las Vegas, either way will guarantee a great time for all!
3. Discuss Budget with
the Wedding party Ahead of Time
This information is key. Include all costs involved during the whole
event, including food, travel & cover chargers! You do not want to plan an extravagant day/night
and then come to realize that everyone is not on the same page as you regarding
the budget. You will either end up
wasting a lot of time or you may even be stuck with the bill!
4. Decide on the date & location of the event
Know that you know the theme and
everyone’s budget, it is now time to choose your location(s) and the date. Availability will most likely determine your
date! Just remember not to schedule the event the night before important days:
the bridal shower, engagement photos and definitely not right before the
Wedding day!
5. Transportation
Transportation is something that is
forgotten quite often. Knowing where you’re
going and how you’re getting there is key.
Since alcohol is most likely involved, make sure you plan ahead and hire
a form of transportation. Transportation
options can range from limos, buses and trolleys. Make sure to secure transportation early, it
books up fast!
6. The Bride’s
Accessories
The Bride will want everyone to
know that she is the Bride the night of her Bachelorette Party! So make sure to
purchase fun wedding accessories for her to wear so everyone will know it’s her
special night. These accessories can be
anything including a sparkly tiara, a sash or even a wedding veil! Also, consider the other ladies attending the
party! They may also want to wear
something special to stand out from the crowd, like a feather boa!
7. Don’t Forget the
Themed Décor!
Whatever theme you choose needs to
have plenty of décor! We highly
recommend Pinterest for great and fun décor ideas!
8. Games, Games & More Games!
Games are the best part of the
Bachelorette Party! Make sure to come up
with plenty of games for you, the Bride and the other guests to play! These games can be scheduled any time you
have down time. Examples of fun games can
be found all over the internet, but here are some I love and suggest:
·
A Scavenger Hunt: Played throughout the
day/night
·
Bride Trivia: Either who knows the Bride Best or
if the Bride knows the Groom Quiz
·
Pin the tail on the Male: You Get the Hint
9. Don’t Forget to Invite Your Guests
Be sure to purchase
invitations that match the theme of the
party and make sure to send them out to give guests enough time to RSVP and
free their schedules! Also, if this is a
surprise for the bride, remind your guests that it is a surprise and inform
them of any cover fees or costs that they will need to come up with.
10. Pay Ahead
Ask your guests to pay ahead of
time for all of the Bachelorette Party Expenses. To make things less confusing and easier for
you, ask that your guests pay in cash… This way it will be easier to pay your
vendor/venue the day of and you won’t have to sort through checks/credit cards.
When planning this amazing night for one of your dearest friends/family
members, just have fun with it! Like I
previously said, just remember to consider their personality, the guests and
what they would love to do, and I guarantee she will have the best time and
remember it for the rest of her life!
