So, your childhood best friend has found the person of their dreams, and now a wedding is on the cards. While she’s running around checking out fancy cakes and organizing dress fittings, there’s one thing you need to do. Yep, plan the bachelorette party of course! One last celebration before she ties the knot. If you need a little inspiration, read on for some ideas for planning the best bachelorette party!
Do Choose a Theme
Choosing a theme for the party is a good place to start. Not only are themed parties super fun, but planning a fancy dress theme can save the stress of buying an expensive new outfit. Plus, the photos will look fab! There are hundreds of different themes to choose from, and if fancy dress isn’t for you, you can still have themed decor so the place looks awesome. Make sure you put some thought into the bachelorette party supplies, and remember- a little goes a long way!
Don’t Plan It Alone
Planning the party can be a big responsibility and can cause unnecessary stress if you do it alone. Make sure you discuss the plans with the rest of the squad. This way, you can share the responsibilities so the pressure isn’t put on just one person. Planning parties is a lot more fun and stress free when it’s done with others.
Do Listen to the Bride
This is something which is often forgotten, but make sure you listen to what the bride wants! If she cringes at the idea of a stripper, then it’s probably best not to get her one! After all, it is her bachelorette party. It’s often worth asking the bride what she wants to do for her party, or if she has a specific theme in mind. Even if the party is a surprise, pick up on hints or think about what she usually likes and go with that.
Don’t Over Plan
Some people think a bachelorette party means an extensive, week-long celebration packed with activities. However, this is not (always) the case. Everyone has a life of their own, and it’s not always possible to drop plans because your friend’s sister is getting married. If you’ve all got busy schedules, don’t feel you need to plan a full week of celebrations, a weekend or even just one evening may be more suited for you- and that’s ok! No bachelorette party is the same. Check out these super fun and easy wedding themed games you can play at home. Some of these are sure to make you giggle. This doesn’t take too much planning and will keep the costs of the party low.
Do Stick to a Budget
One of the most important things when it comes to party planning is sticking to a budget. There is nothing worse than getting stressed over massive budgets, or forking out loans to pay for the perfect party (even if the bride is your bestie). This is another reason to talk to the rest of the squad and see what the general budget is to get an idea before you start booking lavish holidays. Also, sticking to a budget ensures all of the squad can make it to the party; don’t miss out because of expenses.
Do Focus on Having Fun
The biggest ‘Do’ of all- enjoy yourselves and have fun! This will (hopefully) be the bride’s last ever bachelorette party, so make sure it’s laughter filled. The bride won’t mind if you haven’t planned an expensive week away, as long as all of her favorite girls are together to make memories before she says ‘I do’.
Hopefully this list has given you some thought and ideas on planning the best bachelorette party you can. Oh, and one last thing: take plenty of photos so you can look back on the memories, even if you can’t remember most of the night!
