Throwing a bachelorette party is no easy task. All the planning, organizing and hosting may seem overwhelming, but follow these top 5 tips and you’ll be off to a great (and stress-free) start.
1) Incorporate the Bride’s Interests
I know this seems obvious, but it’s so easy to get caught up in what you think would be an awesome bachelorette party and forget about the bride-to-be altogether. Keep your ears perked for anything she might say that can help guide you in creating a bachelorette party she’ll love.
2) Stay Organized
Keep in touch with the bridesmaids and other party planners to make sure things run smoothly. Use our list of organizational tools to keep you on top of the game.
3) Go with the Flow
You want to stay organized, but you don’t want to be that chick who keeps a schedule right down to the second. This is especially important if the bachelorette party happens over a few days. Leave wiggle room for unexpected fun and the stress of organizing the details will dissipate.
4) Be Budget Savvy
Keep in mind where everyone might be financially and plan accordingly. Of course it’s impossible to know where everyone stands right down to the penny, but you can probably get a good idea just by asking for party ideas. If no one is suggesting an overnight stay in the W Hotel you’ll know where to draw the line.
5) Try Something New
Nix the typical club-hopping night out and opt for a unique bachelorette party experience. Book pole dancing classes, nude painting classes, an outdoor adventure or a slumber party.
