Read on for some great ideas and advice for making sure that your best friend’s bachelorette party is everything that she’s ever wished for.
Avoid Surprises
Although surprise bachelorette parties have the potential to be amazing, they can also have a lot of potential to go wrong. Of course, if you’re putting together a bachelorette party for your best friend, you’re probably going to have a good idea of the types of things that she’d love or hate on the night. But, in some instances, it’s always better to run ideas past the bride-to-be, as you may not know some of the other people she’s inviting well. What may be great for you and your group of friends could well end up offending people like relatives, so it’s important to make sure that everybody’s happy – for example, if you’re planning to book tickets to a sexy ladies’ night out at Hunks the Show! If you have your heart set on keeping the bachelorette party a secret, make sure that you keep a sharp eye out for hints from the bride.
Consider Alternative Ideas
These days, more and more brides are opting for alternative ideas to the traditional, going out and getting drunk plan that’s been associated with bachelorette parties over the years. If you and your girls are more the type to seek out something different and exciting to do, this should definitely be the case when it comes to planning the perfect bachelorette party. Alternative ideas for bachelorette parties could include a girly weekend away, taking part in an obstacle course, going to the races, or even doing something adventurous and thrilling such as jumping out of a plane!
Who to Invite
If it’s down to you to decide who’s invited and who isn’t when it comes to the bachelorette party, making the right decisions can be confusing. Usually, the bachelorette party is a more close-knit affair, and includes the bride-to-be, her female family members, and best female friends. That being said, it’s essential to consult with the bride before you invite or disinvite somebody who you’re not too sure about, as you don’t want to end up offending a friend or family member. Usually, if the bride hasn’t spoken to a particular person for more than a year or isn’t particularly close to them, it’s fine not to invite them. Whether or not close male friends are invited or not is totally down to you and the bride.
Planning the perfect bachelorette party for your best friend can be a big responsibility, so plan carefully!
