Quick Tips For The Next Best Bachelorette Party: How To Plan It Perfectly

Usually, all the boundaries are gone for just a night. Usually, there are lots of things to decide and tasks to be done, but it’s always great fun and … a great hangover. 🙂

Speaking of sexy … if you are prepping for a big bachelorette party, I have some quick tips to share with you. Especially if you are the ONE, who is in charge of the party. If you wanna know, keep reading.

BACHELORETTE PARTY TIPS

# 1 ASK THE BACHELORETTE WHAT SHE WANTS

Sounds easy. And I know that probably you’re struggling with your wish to make a great surprise for the bride-to-be. But trust me – better ask, for the sake of the bride, and you and all the girls around (unless you plan to make it loudly on Ellen’s Show – watch the video)  🙂

Every bride-to-be is different and has a different taste. Some brides want to tour the local bars with their girlfriends and booze all the night away until early morning. While other brides want to spend time at home, doing some crazy girly stuff. Like make-up photo sessions, movie night marathon, pajama parties, etc.

It is your responsibility as the head of the organizational bachelorette party unit to figure out what your bride-to-be wants her bachelorette party to be like. Otherwise, the “typical” bash, though what usually comes to mind, is a group of giggling girls dragging the bride from bar to bar and making her blush in public. Maybe she’s not expecting this, ah?

Additional advice 

Ask your bride-to-be if she wants her bachelorette party to be a traditional ladies night, or if she would like to coordinate a party with her fiance. These days it’s not rare for the couples to celebrate together with their mutual friends.

#2 MIND THE PERSONALITY OF THE BACHELORETTE

The bachelorette party is not a typical gift party (as the bridal shower usually is). So presents are not necessary. However, this is a great opportunity for the guests to give the future bride silly or sexy gifts and gags just to be funny. If you’re planning your present, be careful. Just because you think that those super naughty nipple tassels are fun and flirty, it doesn’t mean your shy friend will be happy to open such a gift in front of her friends (or family, even the soon-to-be mother in law!) You don’t want to embarrass her, don’t you? Make her feel comfortable by fitting everything with her personality.

Additional Advice

If you are still hesitating if kinky gifts would be acceptable, better ask the bride-to-be. Don’t afraid that you’ll spoil the surprise. All the bachelorettes are actually expecting the party and some spicy accessories are possible to appear. So revealing some general moments of the plot won’t do any harm. She will be happy to tell you.

# 3 SET A BUDGET

Being in charge of throwing the bachelorette party, doesn’t mean it is your own responsibility to pay for the entire event! No way, no matter how close you are to the bride-to-be!

Ask all the girls invited to chip in equally. Set your budget early on.

Additional advice

It’s easier to collect the money before the party, rather than dividing the expenses after the party is held.  

#4 DON’T OVERSPEND

The truth is simple- spending a fortune on decoration and accessories isn’t the smartest thing. After all, they all will be worn and used only for the night. Don’t forget that after attending a bridal shower, bachelorette party, and the wedding upcoming, you have already spent a lot of money.

Remember that not everyone could afford to buy super luxury bra and panty set, and that’s just fine! Even if you can afford, don’t make the other girls feel embarrassed. Because the most important thing is to HAVE FUN TOGETHER – ALL DAY & NIGHT. No matter where and how dressed.

Additional advice

If still willing to spend all your savings on the bride and her bachelorette party (and money doesn’t bother you at all), better spend them on a super gift for the wedding itself or after-wedding activities.

# 5 MAKE A FACEBOOK GROUP

I know, maybe sounds too much, but using this form of communication and coordination helps really much when throwing parties and other celebrations and events.

So do it!

Because you and the other ladies which are going to be invited (oh, I forgot, ASK THE BRIDE about the invitees!) may all come from different backgrounds.

But hey, you’re all there for just one reason – to give your friend or sister (the bachelorette) a fabulous and unforgettable celebration! Just to have fun! And no matter that you are the person in charge, you’ll have a lot of things to deal together with the others – such as money, gift ideas, bachelorette party theme and dress code, activities, dates availability, photo exchange.

Moreover, trust me, all the bachelorettes cross fingers for everybody on the party to get along and have a good time. So joining a closed FB group will melt some of the ices ahead and save efforts, money and time on communication.

Additional advice

 If you want to be in a perfect organizational shape, help yourself even more by making a special e-mail (such as amybachelorette2015@gmail.com) to send the e-vites and to communicate with the girls especially those who are not living on FaceBook. Don’t forget about all the Google free tools for sharing documents, polls and photo storage. They are always amazingly helpful!

# 6 Set Some Social Media Permission Rules

I know it’s super coll to put hashtag for any kind of group outing. But think if it’s appropriate in this case with the bachelorette party. You’ve probably heard something about social media etiquette, especially on such an event. First, I doubt she’ll be happy to have guests on the table snapping every bit of food on Instagram. I doubt she’ll be happy having herself tagged in zillion of selfies and on-the-go pics on Facebook. I guess she won’t be willing to have all the photo material posted Internet. Especially while having fun and executing the scavenger hunt tasks. It’s true that men tend to know that bachelorette parties turn into wild girls’nights, BUT does he really need to see how every moment her wonderful bride-to-be looks like.

The answer is -NO!

What goes on the internet stays on the internet, that’s the truth. So be extremely thoughtful about what is posted publicly to keep everyone’s personal life, comfort, reputation, and even job intact. Plus – instead of taking pics and selfies every 30 secs, why not just talk, dance, sing, laugh, est and toast more? In other words – having fun 😉

# 7 THINK OF THE LOGISTICS AND SET A “NOT-DRINK-AND-DRIVE” RULE

This is important. But usually quite forgotten. Usually the girsl are boozing on bachelorette parties. And you might be thinking  “What the heck are you thinking, of course I won’t  drink and drive!” But the truth is hard to believe. I’ve seen many times people getting brave around 2 a.m., swearing he or she’s perfectly fine. After having a few beers plus a quick shot. Imagine. I don’t want to focus on the drinking issue now.

But I love saying that there’s no such a thing as “drunk just a little enough to drive”. No. Just no. In such moments friends must be tough and never let a drunk person drive. While planning the big night, think of the logistical matter . Is there a handy bus, or taxi available? Is there an option to stay and oversleep? And force the girls swear over the “not-drink-and-drive”rule  to ensure everyone’s safety (and attendance to the wedding too!).

ENJOY PLANNING THE BACHELORETTE PARTY! Follow my tips and everything with the bachelorette celebration will be great!  🙂
