Help, I'm a bride-to-be... now I just need a bachelorette party! How do I organize one?
You are getting married and want to organize an unforgettable bachelor party? Congratulations on your upcoming marriage! A bachelor party is the perfect opportunity to celebrate the end of your 'single life' together with your girlfriends. But how do you go about it? In this blog we share useful tips, inspiration and ideas to make it a fantastic party whether you organize it yourself or let someone surprise you!
Where do you start?
Organizing a bachelorette party may seem complicated, but with the right preparation it can be a party in itself. Whether you opt for a lavish party, a quiet spa moment or a weekend getaway – it’s all about what suits the bride.
1. Choose a date
Ideally, you should plan the party 2 to 4 weeks before the wedding. This will prevent you from standing at the altar with bags under your eyes or sore muscles. Consult with the most important guests for a date that everyone can attend.
2. Determine the budget
How much will it cost? Often friends pool their money to cover the costs for the bride. Agree on time who pays what and set a maximum for activities and outfits.
3. Guest list & communication
Who can attend? Make sure the guest list is correct and everyone is informed. A WhatsApp group or digital noticeboard helps to exchange ideas and share updates.
4. Choose a location and activity
At home, in the city, on a boat or abroad? Choose something that suits the group and is feasible in terms of budget. Also think about transport and accommodation if necessary.
Fun ideas for your bachelorette party
Now that you have the foundation, it's time to think about what you want to do. Here are some popular ideas:
1. Day at the spa
A relaxing day at a spa or wellness resort is the perfect way to unwind from all the wedding stress. Book massages, enjoy saunas and hot tubs, and finish off with a delicious dinner.
2. Workshop or activity
Do something creative or active together, such as a cooking workshop, cocktail course, painting lesson or an escape room. This will not only provide fun but also beautiful memories.
3. Weekend away
Do you have a bit more budget? Then consider a weekend away. Think of a city trip to Paris, London or Barcelona, or rent a holiday home in your own country where you can all stay.
4. Theme party
Organize a party with a fun theme that suits you. Popular themes are:
- Hollywood glamor
- 80's or 90's
- Tropical party
- Festival vibes
5. Dinner with friends
Sometimes simplicity is best. A cozy dinner with your loved ones at your favorite restaurant can be just as special as an elaborate activity.
Outfits & accessories
What's a bachelorette party without party attire? Match with your crew in bad suits, chic dresses or comfy shirts. Think sashes, tiaras, caps and flashy glasses.
- Inflatable penis suit – hilarious for the bride
- Bride to Be Sash – Stylish and Striking
- Bride Pet – for the queen of the night
- Team Bride Pet – for the whole crew
- Tiara with heart – fit for a princess!
Decoration & atmosphere
Finish the party with streamers, balloons and confetti. Choose a theme in colours such as gold-pink or black-and-white. Think of photo streamers with memories and a photo booth with props for extra fun.
Games and memories
Games provide interaction and lots of laughter. Think of a quiz about the bride, bingo with assignments or a city treasure hunt with crazy challenges. Don't forget to take photos and videos - possibly with a polaroid camera or hired photographer.
Practical tips
Divide the tasks
You don't have to do everything by yourself. Ask your best man or best friend to help with the organization and divide tasks among the guests.
Plan ahead
Start planning early, especially if you want to book popular activities or if you are going during high season.
Think about transportation
If you are planning activities at different locations or if alcohol is being consumed, arrange for safe transportation. Think taxi, Uber or even a party bus for larger groups.
Make memories
Have someone take pictures and videos during the party. You can also bring a Polaroid camera for instant photos or hire a photographer for part of the day.
Finally
The most important thing is that your bachelorette party is yours. Don’t feel obligated to follow certain traditions if they don’t suit you. The point is that you and your girlfriends have a great time together before you tie the knot.
