Question

Can anyone give me some tip/ideas/pointers on how to throw a bachelorette party? My friend has asked me to be her matron of honor and I have never had such responsibility for someone else's party. I need as much help as I can get. Like what should I do for her fun day from start to finish.. Please, please help this newbie out.

Answer 1

Does she want an all-out drunken bender? Strippers? Spa Day? Weekend trip away to the country? Slumber party with videos?

You can ask her directly what type of party she wants, and then go from there. Most brides will want to tell you stuff like this, so they are comfortable with the bachelorette party.

Also be careful about when you hold it....if you are having a party which involves alcohol and a late night...its probably best not to have it the day before the wedding!

For me, I don't drink to excess and I am not a party animal. I know my matron of honour is organising a Spa day for me the day before the wedding, with champaigne and a gormet lunch. The day before this spa day, she is also chucking me a lingerie party, where a company comes around the someones house with all this s**y lingerie and you can try them on, dance around, and buy them or try convince someone to buy them for you. Kinda like tupperware

So what I am trying to say it depends on what the bride is like, her and her expectations, and what she likes/dislikes. Don't make her uncomfortable with anything and respect her wishes if she has any particular concerns (e.g. strippers, night before wedding etc).

Once you find out what she likes, then you can start planning from there.

Goodluck!

Answer 2

My friends had a lingerie party instead of a bachelorette party. She is pretty religious so her maid of honor didn't want to do anything crazy with male strippers because she would be uncomfortable. On the invites they gave her bra and panties size and each girl invited were to bring some s**y lingerie for her. We also played other girly games and watched movies. It was a nice change.

Well you can start the day by getting all of the bridesmaids together and go get massages. You girls can also get some lunch together and just talk about your memories of the bride. After all is said and done you can have a "Passion Party". My matron of honor had one for my bachelorette party and we laughed and just had so much fun together. We played games. We had a chocalate fountain with fruits. Be sure to buy the bride a sash or a tiara, that says she is the bride to be. Once you are all fired up and done with the "passion party", then you can all go out in the town to one of your local favorite bars and have fun with lots of toasts for the bride and her groom and for the friednships. Best of luck to you and the bride!!!

Answer 4

Well, as the Matron of Honor you are also supposed to host the bridal shower. For the bachelorette party I would start by asking the bride what she wants. Ask her if she wants to do a night in with the girls, out to some clubs and bars, strippers, etc.

Once you know what kind of style she wants then you can go from there. It doesn't have to be anything big. Does she have any other bridesmaids that can help you out?

You could all pitch in and rent a hotel room. You could bring games, alcohol, etc. and just have fun...but again, it depends on what the bride wants. Figure out what it is that she would like to do - then you can start planning.

Good luck...and don't worry; I am sure that your friend will be grateful for all your efforts.  

Answer 5

I'd ask her first what kind of party was she wanting have - strippers & "toys", upscale, a weekend or day trip? Mani/pedi teenage girl style sleepovers/parties can also be fun.
