Wedding planning is stressful and can take a toll on even the strongest fighters! And the most favorite event of every bride, the perfect bachelorette party can add more stress. But worry not, as this blog is based on the ideal bachelorette party checklist that you can easily pass onto your planners – maid of honors.

This guide features all important details of the bachelorette party. From selecting the venue to planning the different activities, the list is quite detailed, which means all you need to do is enjoy your favorite event with happiness.

When To Start Planning For The Party?

It is best to start planning every detail of the party 4 weeks before the event. If you leave things for the final hour, chances are you might miss some important details, so to make sure the bride enjoys the most, plan in advance. Here is the bachelorette party planning checklist that will benefit you:

Creating The Guest List

An important thing to make your event successful is to gather every possible friend that would be interested in joining your party. Creating a guest list gives you an idea of how many people there will be and how you need to take things forward. You can also get this guest list approved from the bride, if you are that special friend doing everything by yourself.

Choosing The Destination

If you are planning to make your bachelorette party a little special, then planning a destination party is great. But for this, you need to start planning things even before 2 to 3 months to give yourself ample time to sort everything out. But if you are organizing it at home then bachelorette party ideas for home such as spa dates, movie nights, etc., are great.

Finalizing The Date

This is very important as the date should never be near to the wedding date and not too far. See the bride’s schedule first and then you can finalize the date as per her availability. Find a date that works for everyone, so that you can enjoy it wholeheartedly. Once you know the date, a lot of things will automatically become easier for you.

Select A Theme

A theme based bachelorette party is a great idea no matter if you are doing it at home or at some destination. You can choose any theme you want or maybe ask the bride what she needs. Selecting a theme is not an absolute necessity and if you want to skip it, you can.

Sort Your Decorations

One thing which you definitely need in a bachelorette part is the decorations. You can make a cute backdrop or a specific sitting place where everyone can sit together and enjoy. Some of the basics that you will be needing for the party are balloons, candles, ribbons, good cutlery, and sheets.

Finalize The Activities

Without a planned activity, your bachelorette party can turn out to be quite boring. Hence to make things interesting and fun, it is important to plan some activities in advance. It can be games, or writing handwritten notes for the brides, or going out together to do something.

Plan The Menu

A bachelorette is completed with good food spread. So, another important thing that you must do in advance is to plan the menu. Write down everything from appetizers and drinks to main dishes, so you know when it’s time what needs to be done.

Choose A Dress Theme

Again, deciding on a theme is your personal choice completely. And if you are going with a theme, then select a dress which is relevant to that theme. It can be color based, or you can decide to dress up as characters. Whatever you decide, let all friends know so they can also make their dresses on time.

Send All Invites

Planning a bachelorette party can be a tiring job, but an important thing that ideally you should be doing at least a few weeks before the event date is to send out all invites. This way everyone can free their schedule on the selected date, making bachelorette even more fun. You can create a template for invite listing down all the details of the event, from date, time, and venue. Send this out either via email or in a group chat, as this will help you ensure that everyone has seen the invite.

When To Execute Everything?

Once you have finalized everything listed above, and it is near to the event date, there are a few things that you need to check again. Two weeks before the event, make sure to send all invites. Again before leaving, make sure that you have everything under control. Following are few things that you need to do before the event date:

Confirm With Everyone

Once your event date is near, cross-check with everyone from your guests. If people are skipping the party, you need to know that in advance as it can help you plan the event with more accuracy. So, either add a RSVP to your invite or manually ask everyone to confirm whether they will be joining or not.

Don’t Forget Your Decorations

The decorations that you got for the event need to be in an accessible place with everything placed together. You can take all these decorations a few hours before the event to set up the place as it will give you more control over the event, and plus, you will be able to host it in a much better position.

Enjoy To The Fullest!

Bachelorette parties are the only time where the bride can have fun without feeling stressed. So, as the maid of honor, it is your duty to give the best time to her. And if you are a bride planning this all, we suggest you find new friends!
