subject: The Bachelor And Bachelorette Party Invitations [print this page] Often the guys will find out about the bachelor party by word of mouth. The ladies often receive a creative bachelorette party invitation. Occasionally, the best man and the maid of honor will join forces to either have a Jack and Jill party or at least have coordinating invitations.
Before working on the guest list, it is wise to have an idea the direction of the party. A night out on the town at a favorite nightclub will probably not be the sort of thing that the brides grandma will be interested in attending. She might want to be on the guest list if the party is going to be at a spa. Usually the bachelor and bachelorette parties are for the friends of the bride and groom. Some younger family members and those family members who are young at heart may be invited.
Start planning the parties a few months in advance. Be sure to coordinate the dates with the bride and groom. Before choosing the location for the bachelor or bachelorette party, check with any local complimentary party planning services like, Paramarx in New York City. Often the party guests can get special pricing, seating, no waiting, complimentary drinks, and other perks by using a complimentary planning service. In addition, a planning service may be able to introduce you to a lounge or nightclub that you werent familiar with, but will be perfect for the party. Party planners have experience planning bachelor and bachelorette parties, so they will be a resource of ideas for the party. A party planner will do a lot of the work so you focus on being a guest.
Once the date, time, and location are set, verbally invite guests as soon as possible so that guests can mark their calendars and be available for the bachelor or bachelorette party. Be sure to write down the name, address, and phone number of the guests that are invited. It is a good idea to verify addresses before sending out invitations.
