5 Bachelorette Party Tips: Do’s and Don’ts!

In preparation for my own Bachelorette Party, I found these great tips from OurWeddingDay.com. 

I’ve got a great team to celebrate with, and am SO looking forward to my ladies’ weekend at Chateau Elan!  But, here are some helpful tips to think of while your planning: 

1.  Don’t have the party the night before your wedding. What’s worse than waking up so hung-over you can’t get out of bed? Realizing that it’s your day to get married! If you plan to imbibe at your bachelorette party, have it several days before your wedding, so all involved will have time to “recover.” The added benefit is that, come close to your ceremony day, you’re going to have tons of other stuff on your mind.

2.  Realize it’s not your party. Although the bachelorette party is held in your honor, you’re not the host, and you shouldn’t dictate the terms. Whoever is hosting (Maid of Honor, mom, a bridesmaid) will most likely try and gets hints from you as to what you’d enjoy, so you’ll end up having a great time. But if you expected a wine-tasting and end up at a bowling alley, suck it up with thanks to spare!

3.  Make sure everyone’s included. Whoever is hosting the party should have the names of important people to invite. This includes his sisters and friends coming in from far away. Since the host might only have access to your address book, get her a list in advance. If it’s a surprise shower, and you’re not told who’s hosting, make the list available to everyone in your wedding party.

4.  Keep it affordable. Once again, you’re not hosting the party, but you can let your Maid of Honor know that a spa-day would be too extravagant for many members invited. If you’re asked suggestions, keep everyone’s budget in mind. A weekend trip to Paris is fabulous if you’re all named Trump; otherwise, you might think more locally.

5.  Know your crowd. Nowadays, it’s common to invite both moms to the bachelorette party. Some people also invite older relatives and friends. If you want to include everyone, it’s probably best to skip the stripper club or pole-dance party and opt for something a bit more sophisticated. If your bridesmaids are hell-bent on something raunchy, make sure they give all women the option not to attend.

Cheers!
