If you’ve
recently had the privilege of your friend asking you to be their maid of honor,
then you might still be buzzing from excitement. However, as that excitement
wears off, it could be replaced by worry as you realize all the work that being
a maid of honor actually entails. From helping the bride-to-be pick her wedding
dress to keeping the other bridesmaids in line, it can be a stressful job.
However, the most important part of your role will undoubtedly be to organize
the bachelorette party. You will be responsible for creating a memorable night
that your friend will remember for years to come. So, no pressure!
Fortunately,
with these tips, you can take some of that weight off your shoulders.
Cocktails Aplenty
No successful
bachelorette party can happen without cocktails, and if you want to make this
night extra special,
you can hire bartenders specially from eventbartenders.com. Whether you’re staying in or hiring a
venue, these bartenders will bring the bar and cocktails to you. They can make
this special night even more memorable for the bride by crafting a signature
cocktail in her honor!
Make sure you
all raise a glass in a toast to the impending nuptials.
Remember The Decorations
If you want this
night to be worthy of Instagram, then you need to remember the decorations and
accessories. Go all out! Think a veil, ‘bride-to-be’ sash, or even order some
customized T-shirts for all the girls so they can have a souvenir from this
night.
For the party
décor, some creative ideas could include:
·
A
personalized bachelorette party banner
·
Diamond
ring piñata
·
Glitter
balloons
·
Customized
wine bottle labels
Book Entertainment
It’s essential
that you book the entertainment in advance, so the bride won’t be left
disappointed! There’s a vast array of things you could book, but it all depends
on what the bride likes (and, of course, your budget).
If the bride is
creative, for instance, why not book a live drawing class for everyone? Not
only will this get your creative juices flowing, but it can be a fun bonding exercise
(especially if alcohol is involved). Or, if the bride is more outdoorsy, you
could even book with a company that specializes in glamping – glamorous camping – so your bachelorette party
can relax amongst beautiful scenery in luxury tents while sipping champagne — pure
bliss.
Of course, there
are always more standard options, such as booking a stripper or booking a whole
spa weekend, so everyone is nice and relaxed before the big day. Whatever you
decide, just make sure you book!
Have Party Games
If your guests
aren’t exactly BFFs and you need some icebreakers to get the party going,
introduce some fun party games for everyone to take part in. This could be in
the form of a groom quiz, where you can test the bride on how well she really
knows her future husband, a ring hunt (with toy rings, of course), prosecco
pong, or the classic icebreaker, Never Have I Ever…
Give Out Goodies
Keep the
bridesmaids happy by giving out special goodies. These don’t have to be
ridiculously expensive but can be a thoughtful gift to thank them for coming.
