How to Plan a Totally Awesome Bachelorette Party!

Hey girl! So the time has finally come! It’s time to gather all the bridesmaids and throw a party that your bachelorette will cherish for the rest of her life! This is technically her last night as a single gal, and you want to make sure that she has the time of her life. Let’s just go ahead and acknowledge the fact that you have no idea where to begin! We know this can be stressful. Getting a group of girls to agree on anything can be a challenge, so we here at THE AWESOME 80’S PROM have put together a guide to help you and your girls have the most AMAZING Bachelorette Party ever!

STEP ONE – ENVISION THE PERFECT BACHELORETTE PARTY (4 months until party time)

Dream Big:

• Ask yourself: “What makes a perfect Bachelorette Party?”
• Make a wish list of things that you want at the party.
• Use your imagination, think outside the box, and make this a unique experience

STEP TWO – BRAINSTORM THE PERFECT BACHELORETTE PARTY (3 months until party time)

Discuss Potential Dates:

• You want to pick a date when the bride doesn’t have anything else planned. How horrible would it be for her to have to wake up from a crazy girls’ night out only to have a hangover at brunch with her future in-laws? You also want to make sure that she doesn’t have anything pressing happening the day of the party like dress fittings or hair/makeup consultations. You want the party to be as stress-free for the bride-to-be as possible.

• Have the bride jot down a list of friends that she would like to come. You don’t want the bride to feel like she is planning the party, but you do want to make sure that all of the people that she wants there are invited. Make sure you have the name, phone number, mailing and email address of each invitee. If the bride doesn’t have this information, don’t pester her to find it. Ask her mom or other friends. All of the bridesmaids must be invited, even if you know they won’t be able to come. You might also consider inviting female family members of the bride or groom that are around the same age, other close friends of the bride in the area, and any other wedding participants (i.e. candle lighters, guest table attendants, readers, etc.). The more the merrier!
