subject: Ideas for throwing a bachelorette party [print this page] Are you in the process of planning a bachelorette party for a friend or family member? It isn't as hard as you might think. If you stay organized and on track you will be able to have a successful party. Here are some ideas for throwing a bachelorette party.
The first thing to do when throwing a bachelorette party is to consult with the bride to be. Find out what her expectations are about the party. You might have it in your head to throw her a naughty bachelorette party filled with drinks and pictures of naked men. This might be the furthest thing from her mind and she might be looking for a more relaxed and sedate affair. Before you get too far into the process make sure the bachelorette party you are planning is the kind of party the bride to be is hoping to have.
Second, figure out the budget. Are you going to be paying for the entire event yourself, or will all the guests be contributing equally? If you are going to expect the guests to contribute, it is a wise move to speak with each of them privately about the potential cost of the party. These guests might not have the cash available to spend on a bachelorette party. Better to find out early in the process than the night of the party that a guest can't afford her $100 share of the party.
If the bride to be is open about her party, then there are so many ideas for throwing a bachelorette party available to you. Does the bride to be like to be pampered? A day at the spa can be the perfect party for this bachelorette. Is the bride to be a poker player? A poker party with some of her closest friends can be a fun bachelorette party idea. Does the bride to be enjoy going out on the town dancing? A night at her favorite club with her closest girlfriends is a great idea for her bachelorette party.
Some other ideas for throwing a bachelorette party include:
A scavenger hunt. Create a list of important or historic places in the city where you live (don't make it easy make the guests have to figure out where they need to go) and have the guests go out and take pictures of each of these places. The person or team who finds the most places wins.
A pajama party. Invite a few of the bride to be's closest friends over for a sleepover. Rent some girly moves (for me "Love Story" is a favorite, as is "Sleepless in Seattle") and kick back and enjoy them while pigging out on your favorite snacks from childhood. Everyone can go out for breakfast together the next morning.
A weekend away. If money is not a concern then a weekend away with the girls is a great idea for a bachelorette party. Pick a city or fun location where everyone will enjoy themselves. Some ideas include Las Vegas, New York City, Miami, or a trip to a beach.
