1. Talk to the Bride

The best way to plan a fun bachelorette party is to talk to the bride and see what she wants to do. Some brides want the entire party to be a surprise, while there are some that would like a little input.

See exactly what the bride has in mind before you start planning. This is a party that is going to be celebrating her and her future after all. As long as you get a general idea about what she’s expecting, then you can take it from there!

2. Prepare the Guestlist

Most of the time the guestlist for a bachelorette party is the bride, maid of honor, and all of the bridesmaids, but make sure to talk with the bride and see who she wants to be included. Sometimes the mother of the bride or siblings who isn’t in the wedding party may also want to be involved. Make sure to clear it with the bride that she wants them at the party.

At this point, you should also figure out the best way to connect with everyone invited to the bachelorette party. Whether it is through a group text, email, or even a facebook group. There will be many things that you will need to talk to everyone about.

3. Figure Out What Everyone Can Afford

When it comes to paying for the bachelorette party it usually is the responsibility of the maid of honor and the bridesmaids. This is a day or weekend to celebrate the bride so she shouldn’t have to pay.

Before you even start planning you should talk with all of the other bridesmaids to see how much they’re willing to pay. Lots of people have budgets and you don’t want to go crazy overboard with the things that they have to pay for. The best way to figure out what your budget should be is to just ask.

4. Choose a Destination

Choosing a destination might be the hardest part of the planning process. The destination will help set the tone for the rest of your party. You should first decide if the bachelorette party is only going to be one day or a weekend extravaganza.

If you and the other girls are on a tight budget, then you may want to choose a destination that is close to everyone. Sometimes meeting up in a central city is the best destination for a bachelorette party. On the other hand, if you have more od a budget to work with, then you may want to plan a weekend trip to Las Vegas or another fun destination.

5. Rent a Limo or Party Bus

When it comes to bar hopping you’re going to want reliable and luxury transportation. Renting a limo or Party Bus can take your night from just okay to a night that you will never forget.

You could even use your limo for a fun bachelorette weekend. Ride in a luxury limo to a shopping center or even for a spa day. You can play your favorite music and jam on your way to any fun location.

6. Pick the Activities

Choosing activities is probably the most enjoyable part of planning a bachelorette party. You may just want to go out for a nice dinner and then spend the rest of the evening going to different bars. People love seeing bridal parties out and about and they will usually cheer you and the bride on.

If you’re going for a weekend getaway bachelorette party, then you may want to look into a fun spa retreat. On the other hand, a party at someone’s house can also be filled with delicious food and fun games.

7. Coordinate Your Outfits

Coordinating your outfits is not a must but it sure is fun! Talk with the other guests and see what they all want to do. You can all go out in a little black dress with the bride wearing a white one. Another fun idea is to get matching t-shirts!

8. Prepare the Gift Bags

Making gift bags for all of the bridesmaids and the bride is fun and everyone will love them. You can put a few x-rated party gifts in the bags or even create a hangover kit. You don’t have to spend tons of money on a gift bag but it is a fun way to let everyone know that you appreciated them coming.

9. Decorations

Whether you’re going to be having the bachelorette party at a house or a hotel, you’re going to need decorations. There are tons of cute bachelorette party decorations that you can choose from. You can even do some fun DIY projects to put your own personal touch on the party.

10. Backdrop for Photos

One thing that every bachelorette party needs are a backdrop to take photos. The bride and all of the bridesmaids are going to want an adorable way to remember the night so make sure to have a cute backdrop and tons of props to take the best photos in front of. Make sure that where ever you plan to create the backdrop has really good lighting so your photos turn out awesome.
