For those who get married in the coming months, and there will be many, this is the time to organize the bachelorette party. After two difficult years due to the pandemic, which not only weighed on the world of weddings but also on collateral events, this year the future brides want to “exaggerate”.
The bachelorette party etiquette
The bachelorette party is traditionally planned by the bride’s bridesmaid or possibly her sister, a small group of bridesmaids or a small group of friends and colleagues, but there are no fixed rules. It’s fine even if the bride wants to handle the planning herself.
The most important thing to remember is that if there are too many “rumors” you can risk wasting time. It is best that only one or two people lead the planning and the rest of the group should try to go along with the plans, even if they disagree.
If, as usual, the bride is not organizing the bachelorette party, she should try to find out what the birthday girl thinks about it. Try to figure out if you have a specific destination and dates in mind, as well as particular activities. After all, the party is her, she should be able to have fun and feel comfortable with her.
According to etiquette, each participant in the bachelorette party pays for himself and also participates in the bride’s fee. In the case of larger expenses, such as for a trip, the bridesmaid or sister may decide to fully cover the bride’s trip.
Finally, there is no strict rule on when to organize the party, but about a month before the wedding is a good amount of time: it is not that close to the big day, but not too far away: so the bride will be relaxed and ready to have fun.
What activities to choose
If you want to organize a thousand and one nights bachelorette party, then it’s time to think about the essentials. The checklist should be very specific, full of details and different activities: first, however, decide the theme, which will also help you prepare all the gadgets, from coordinated costumes to t-shirts. Among the themes you can choose, here are some examples:
- Relax, for a day or a weekend of absolute rest at the spa or in a luxurious spa.
- Adventure, if the bride likes strong experiences, such as rafting or zip-line.
- Journey, to leave all together to discover a capital or a particular destination.
- Festival, for a bachelorette party in the name of good music.
- Gourmet, between tastings in the vineyard and delicious food.
- Sea, to enjoy all the fun of USA or European tourist resorts.
And the list of course goes on: each theme lends itself to a varied list of activities. For example, in the case of the festival-style bachelorette party you could add a meet & greet reserved for the bride with her favorite song, a night in a nearby location and a brunch.
Instead, the classic goliardic parties with strippers and kitsch gadgets have now faded: today’s brides seem to prefer a day or a weekend of happiness and fun together with their friends. And the many services specialized only in the organization of the bachelorette party also prove it. For example, you could add something special, like:
- Professional photo shooting
- Group dance lesson
- Custom escape room
- Travel in a vintage train, Orient Express style
- Sailing experience (but make sure no one gets seasick, especially the bride)
- You just have to do the lineup and organize the bachelorette party: have fun.
