Bachelorette Party

Many
women who serve as the maid of honor in a wedding party have started to plan elaborate
parties and weekend getaways to celebrate their friends' upcoming nuptials. The
bachelorette party was originated in response to the lavish bachelor parties that
men throw for soon-to-be grooms. However, bachelorette parties are now a completely
separate occasion with a very different tone and feel.
The
maid of honor plans the bachelorette party with the help of the bridesmaids. It
should be held about a week before the wedding. When you are planning a bachelorette
party, keep in mind the taste, attitude and style of the bride-to-be. If she says
she doesn't want to visit a strip club, don't plan a trip there anyhow. If she's
not a big drinker, don't plan an evening of pub-crawling. Also, be sensitive when
it comes to the time and money involved. Each attendant will have to pay their
own expenses and everyone should pitch in to pay for the bride's expenses. Don't
make the party a financial burden or a big time commitment to anyone who can't
afford it.
A popular
bachelorette party idea is a limousine trip to popular nightclubs. By renting
a limo, all of the guests can ride in one car and no one has to worry about driving.
Drinking and driving is never a good idea and a limo eliminates the possibility
that anyone could get behind the wheel who shouldn't be driving.
Parties
at home, dinners, luncheons and teas are also popular ideas for bachelorette parties.
If you are the planner, be sure to book the limousine, restaurant or caterer at
least two months in advance. It is customary for some of the guests to give the
bride gifts at this party. Gag gifts are sometimes funny but always think of what
the bride's response will be before presenting such a gift. Teddies, lingerie
and negligees are also popular gifts at bachelorette parties.
Another
version of the bachelorette party that is gaining in popularity is the weekend
getaway. Some popular places to go include Cleveland, Windsor, Las Vegas, Chicago
and New York City. A lot of planning goes into a getaway such as this and you
must take into account the time and financial commitment of each guest. Before
planning such a trip, discuss it with the bride.
The
most important aspect of the bachelorette party is that it's fun for everyone
involved, especially the bride. No one should be made to feel uncomfortable or
self-conscious. This is a girls-night-out for everyone to let loose and have a
good time.
