Help Planning Your First Bachelorette Party

You've been a bridesmaid for the last few weddings, and you feel like you've seen it all. But when it comes time to plan your own bachelorette party, you're at a loss. You have no idea where to start! I'm here to help. Below are some ideas and tips for planning the perfect bachelorette party that will make sure that your bride-to-be has the best night ever—and that she doesn't end up walking down the aisle with her face covered in cake (which happened to my cousin's friend).

Hire a party bus.

If you're looking to make an impression, renting a party bus for the bachelorette party is the way to go. Party buses are a great option for both long distance travel and short hops across town. They can be rented for just one night or up to a week at a time, depending on your needs. And if you're worried that it might not be extravagant enough, rest assured that there's plenty of room in these vehicles—a 20 passenger model is considered large enough to accommodate all of your attendees while still leaving some room to dance!

The difference between renting a party bus and hiring a limo service is simple: the size of the vehicle! While limos are more common among celebrities due their ability to fit multiple people comfortably into one car (or stretch limo), they don't offer as much space as their larger counterpart does—meaning that if you want everyone on board with this decision then going big might just be best after all.

Have a destination bachelorette party.

The most important thing to do is choose a destination that is fun and exciting, but also convenient for everyone. It also needs to be close to home so that it doesn’t take too much time away from work or school, and it needs to be affordable for everyone involved.

It's also good if the place you chose is safe for everyone involved in your bachelorette party.

Plan a spa day.

A spa day is a great way to relax and have fun with friends. It also makes for a great pre-wedding activity, helping you unwind before saying "I do." If you want to plan this at home, think about what each person wants from the experience and then pick up some food and supplies from the store. You'll want candles, flowers (real or fake), relaxing music and maybe even champagne! If you want to go out instead of doing it yourself at home, there are plenty of spas that offer different kinds of treatments—think facials or massages—that will make everyone feel pampered.

Consider co-hosting with another bridesmaid or relative.

The bachelorette party is the last hurrah before the big day. It’s your chance to celebrate with friends and family, and have a little bit of fun before you take on your new role as wife.

There are plenty of ways to plan a bachelorette party that’s all about you, but why not share the responsibilities with someone else? Perhaps you have an older sister who would love to be involved in the planning process, or perhaps one of your bridesmaids is planning their own nuptials in the next few years and would like some pointers from you. You could also look for someone outside your immediate circle—a cousin or close friend might be interested in helping out!

Try a fun-filled scavenger hunt.

• Choose a location. A scavenger hunt can be done anywhere, but there are certain places that make it more fun. If you’re looking for something new and exciting, try looking for someplace off-the-beaten path like an art museum or local park.

• Create your list of items to find. You can choose from any number of things to include on your list: take photos of each other holding signs saying “I love you” or ask each other trivia questions about each other before time runs out.

• Make sure everyone is on the same page! Before starting, be sure everyone understands what will happen during the scavenging portion so no one feels left out or cheated when they end up with fewer points than their partner after all is said and done (if you want it competitive).

Play games at the bachelorette party.

Games are a great way to get your party started and keep it going. They can be played at any time of the day and by everyone in attendance, even if they don't drink! Games like "Never Have I Ever" or "Never Have I Ever... In Public" are always fun because they give you a chance to learn more about your friends while also embarrassing them.

If you're looking for games that are slightly more interactive, why not try something like Pin The Tail On The Donkey or Musical Chairs? These games allow for greater physical participation and make for much better photos than cards or dice games would. And again, since alcohol isn't necessary to play these types of games (though it certainly helps), this gives shy people another opportunity to participate without feeling awkward about their lack of skill with cards or dice.

It's all about her! Make sure you are letting her have everything she wants for her big night/weekend full of fun with all of her friends and family!

Whether you're planning a surprise weekend getaway or a simple dinner with friends, it's always important to make sure the bride-to-be has everything she wants. There's no better way to show how much you care than by asking her what she'd like before getting married, and then going above and beyond those expectations. And when it comes down to the wedding day itself? Just remember—it's all about her! Make sure you are letting her have everything she wants for her big night/weekend full of fun with all of her friends and family!

Conclusion

You want to make sure that all of your bridesmaids and family are happy at the bachelorette party, so try to plan an event that everyone can enjoy. This should be about her and what she wants, not just about you being “fun” or being a good host! Make sure you are letting her have everything she wants for her big night/weekend full of fun with all of her friends and family!
