A BFF or family member
Of course, no one says that only members of the wedding party can plan a bachelorette party. Sometimes, a friend or family member might want a fun way to show the bride their support. We’re talking sisters, cousins, aunts, or just close friends. Throwing a bachelorette party can provide a fun way to connect with the bride before her big day, and help out so that the bridesmaids aren’t stretched so thin.
The Bride herself
Ok, hear us out. To some people, this might be bad manners. But bachelorette parties aren’t a formal affair – or even a traditional one. There aren’t always gifts involved, like there are with a bridal shower, so you don’t have to worry about asking for presents.
At the end of the day, a bachelorette party is just an excuse for a bride to party with her favorite girls before the wedding. So, if you want to take matters into your hands and throw your own bachelorette party, we say go for it!
What you need to plan an awesome bachelorette party
Know that you know all about who plans a bachelorette party, let’s go over how to make it special! No matter who’s planning, the party planner has their work cut out for them to coordinate a fun night. An awesome bachelorette party will need some fun activities, some delicious treats, and of course, a fun place to party. Here are some tips to keep in mind when planning.
Keep the bride in mind
Fill the night with activities that the bride enjoys, or would love to enjoy with her friends. You could book mani-pedis at a spa, head out on a bar crawl to sample delicious drinks, or just stay in for a night of rom-coms.
Consult with the bride beforehand to get an idea of what she’d like to do. If you’re an enterprising bride planning your own shower, this step is easy! No one knows how you’d like to spend the night with your favorite girls better than you.
Find an amazing place to host
Switching up the scenery is one of our favorite tricks to make a night super special. Even if you’re planning on heading out, it helps to have a “home base” you can regroup at. Or, you can plan an awesome night in with some beautiful scenery to keep you company.
