Bachelorette Party Planning: The Countdown
Bachelorette
party planning can seem stressful, so break the process into these
easy steps. With the right attitude, the party planning can be
as fun as the shindig itself!
Create a theme when planning your bachelorette party. Whether
you're planning a Wild West
Showdown, Tropical Luau, or Mexican Fiesta, a theme gives everyone
attending the bachelorette party an
excuse to dress up, and it makes your planning easier. Everything from
the invitations to the snacks can tie into your theme. Your guests
will love it, and you'll love getting to narrow down all your party
planning options.
Book a restaurant if your bachelorette party will involve dining out. Be sure to have reservations
for your bachelorette party at least one week ahead of time, more if
you're planning the party during a busy time of
year (such as near holidays or graduations).
Book transportation. If there's going to be alcohol at the
bachelorette party, planning transportation ahead of time is a must!
Limos are extremely affordable for large groups of people, plus,
they're fun. Cabs are another option, but don't wait until the last
minute; call ahead and book a driver. Or, if at all possible, choose
locations that are within easy walking distance!
Book the entertainment for your bachelorette party. Exotic
dancers, strippers, pleasure parties, and all that jazz needs to be
booked far in advance, so start planning early. No one wants a repeat of the Friends episode
where Danny DeVito was the stripper for Phoebe's bachelorette party.
Call ahead.
Confirm RSVPs. Just because someone didn't reply to your incredibly
cute bachelorette invitation, that doesn't mean they're not coming. Call each guest
to confirm; it's a sucky job, but you'll thank yourself later when you
don't end up with five extra guests you weren't planning on.
Book the cake or dessert. While you may not have been planning
on having any dessert at the bachelorette party, trust us, there are
some cakes that will be the party. You'll be a legend--it's totally
worth it. (One never-fail standard is The Erotic Bakery, who'll
deliver naughty cookies, cake toppers, and/or naughty cheesecakes.)
Just be prepared to hear about it for the next five years, and for
more party planning requests!
