Getting married is a huge moment in anyone’s life. As a bride, you may be feeling excited to start this next step of your journey. You’ve found the love of your life and you can’t wait to walk down that aisle and finally say “I do.” Before you can get to that day, however, it’s time for your side of the bridal party to take you out for one last hoorah to celebrate the end of your singlehood.
A bachelorette party is an age-old tradition where ladies can celebrate ladies! It’s a time to have fun with your besties, go out on the town, and have a celebration all about the bride-to-be. Oftentimes, the bachelorette evening is planned by the Maid of Honor or other bridesmaids. If you are the lucky one doing the planning, you want to go above and beyond to give your best friend all the love she deserves on her special day. Here are some tips and tricks to help you throw an unforgettable party!
Decide on the style of party based on the bride.
Every bride is different, which will mean you’ll need a customized, unique party fit for your bride-to-be. Decide on the direction you’re going so that it can inform your other decisions. Maybe you want to take a trip away for a relaxing beach weekend or maybe you want to plan a bachelorette night out on the town where you rent a party bus and go bar hopping. Take your friend’s style and opinions into account, as well. Remember, the night is all about celebrating her, so plan things that are the right fit for her personality.
Plan some fun stops along the way.
No bachelorette night is complete without a few fun stops and moments of entertainment. Consider going to a show or riding in a limo. See some dancers at the Gentlemens Club while enjoying great drinks. If it’s your first time, you can enjoy this kind of high-end entertainment. It can be fun to spend some time in a strip club enjoying beautiful women and men and hanging out with your best girls. An adult entertainment club is totally on-brand for a night of celebrating the end of singleness.
If you’re in charge of decorating for your bachelorette party, blow up a character of any kind to hang on the wall or door. This will add an element of fun and sophistication to the event. You can also use blow-up characters as photo props. Simply place them around the room and have guests take photos with them. If you want to get really creative, blow up a character that represents the bride-to-be’s future husband. This will add a personal touch to the party and is sure to get a laugh from guests. Whatever blow-up character you choose, make sure it’s one that will add to the overall atmosphere of the event.
Create an ideal packing list for everyone.
If you plan a bachelorette party that involves a weekend away or time staying somewhere else, you’ll want to include a packing list for the bridal party. Let them know the vibes and what outfits they’ll need to bring. You can even include a bra guide letting them know to bring a sports bra for outdoor adventures, a t-shirt bra for the chill nights in, or a plunge bra to help the girls look great at the club. You’re just helping everyone have the perfect fit and the right merchandise for the trip.
Consider coordinating your outfits.
Speaking of outfits, many bachelorette parties will include some coordination. Consider the theme of the evening or weekend and look into matching t-shirts or fun accessories. This can be a great way to support the bride and show her that you’re all there to celebrate her.
Play some fun games celebrating the bride-to-be.
A bachelorette party is a great time to reminisce and remember great memories you’ve shared with the bride-to-be. It can also be a fun time to embarrass her just a little bit. Plan out some games and activities that celebrate her past and her beautiful relationship. This can also be a great time to swap stories and get a little emotional. Sometimes, the best gift you can give someone is the gift of laughter and sentimentality. Have some fun with this while planning activities.
