It will take the stress off of you having to think of games on the spot and help fill the time. As the host, plan a few fun and adventurous activities for all the girls to partake in. Have you ever been to a party that has nothing going on and no plans? If you have, you know how boring that can be. A perfect Chicago day filled with baseball, drinking and some of my best gals.Tattoo from – White Rabbits Design Step 4- Plan Activities Sending so much love to Portofino this weekend as Reneé + Michael tie the knot! What are some of your favorite bachelorette party memories?! Mine is of course my own. I’m proud and lucky to know them, and always love designing for their events! Reneé’s bachelorette party was certainly no exception… They are also three of the strongest women I know.
The Freiburger sisters are known for their contagiously optimistic attitudes, and to say they are fun to be around would be an understatement. If you can’t go to the mountains, bring the mountains to you! Fur, flannel and fizz just might be the most perfect winter bachelorette party theme. 🙂 Sending a piece of snail mail is an official way to invite your guests to attend the event, and a fun way to kick off the theme of the party! And speaking of fun bachelorette party invitations…
Send a paper invitation. I’d be selling myself short if I didn’t include this. It is nice to give them a little something to know it’s appreciated that they came. Favors. They don’t have to be expensive or extravagant, but people are putting out some money to celebrate the bride. I’ve also been seeing cutouts of the grooms face on sticks-seriously fun! Not only will the bride appreciate the special touches, but it helps to get everyone involved and excited for the weekend.
Personalize! Custom coasters, personalized napkins, or t-shirts, just to name a few. It’s also important to note that if you’re a planner and have something specific in mind, be up front. In my experience,people love to help and, if tasked with something small, will usually take it very seriously. Even if it’s just something simple like being in charge of providing cute cocktail napkins. Designate responsibility. Typically there are lots of willing hands, so take them up on it. It eliminated the awkward exchange of money throughout the weekend and that very common gray area of wondering “how much is this weekend really going to cost me?” Remember, the bride doesn’t pay! We all paid ahead of time (what did we do before Venmo?!), and we knew anything extra would be ours to cover. They gave an amount for the weekend and what was included. I was invited to a bachelorette party a couple summers ago where the hosts calculated out everything in advance. Give the bride a chance to let her special gals in on some of the upcoming wedding details. Carve out time to just hang and catch up with each other. Leave some down time. While it’s nice to have a plan as I mentioned above, it is equally as enjoyable to have some girl time with your ladies. This will eliminate the stress of not being able to get in somewhere, because no body likes a group of hangry party people. Chances are, your group will be larger than usual and it’s nice to give a heads to the venue. Unless of course that’s what the bride wants! Decide on a couple activities and make reservations. Have a plan and distribute an itinerary. There is nothing worse than showing up for a hosted event with no idea of what you’re doing. Do what works best for most people involved and know that it’s never going to be the perfect plan for every single person. Typically you can get a good idea from the responses as to what people are thinking re:budget.
Give options. After doing your research, email the group a couple ideas asking for input.Be sure you’re on the same page as to what she’s expecting and ask her to provide you with a guest list. Clear the air on any “off limit” items or activities, and respect her wishes. In addition to letting everyone know, you might be able to gauge just how many people are planning to attend. This can be a quick email, online invitation, or text. It doesn’t have to be anything formal, but a “Save the Date” is a good idea to get it on everyones calendar. If you’re the party host, here are a few tips to help take the stress out of planning. I’ve been to my fair share of bachelorette parties over the past couple years, and learned a lot in the process. All while trying your best to make it as easy as possible for everyone involved. There is a lot to consider when it comes to creating a memorable event for the bride. Planning a bachelorette party can be tricky and sometimes stressful.
