ALT-2 Tips for Hosting a Bachelorette Party
As the Maid of Honor or bridesmaid you have a lot of responsibilities but the one that will bring the most grins and giggles when walking down memory lane is the bachelorette party.
First, figure out what type of party is it going to be. Is it going to be a small gathering of friends that's going to have a mellow flow to it or is it going to be a large group of wild and crazy diva's hitting up the town? Keep in mind though that you are doing this for your friend, sister, etc who is getting married and get her opinion or based on what you know about her, what she would like to do. After all it is her last night out as a free woman. Here are some suggestions for both:
For the Easy Going, Low Laying Bride-To-Be:
Option 1: A nice dinner and a couple of drinks are a good way to spend the night for the girl who is not into the whole party/bar scene. Sit around and talk about how you all met her and the funniest story you have of her. You will be surprised of how time will fly over good food and great conversation among friends.
Option 2: Spa and Relax Party. Find a nearby spa, gather the girls and go get manicures, pedicures and massages. This is a great way to reduce stress before the bride-to-be's big day. Grab a bite to eat or a nice bottle of wine and reminisce about all the great and/or wild times you had together.For the Wild, Hell Raising Bride To Be:
Option 1: Start at a nice restaurant or sushi bar and follow it with by a wild night out on the town. If you must invite someone, such as a future in-law, who may defy proper bachelorette etiquette than have a multistage party suggests Victoria Frederick, a professional party planner. Start at a steak house or sushi bar with drinks flowing to try and discourage her from tagging along any further. You don't want her to see what you have planned for the bride-to-be when the 3 ripped bi-sexual strippers arrive do you?
Also, if you go out to the clubs many brides-to-be play the Suck-4-A-Buck T-Shirt game. This is where the bride to be places a white shirt on that has "Suck-4-A-Buck" written on it as well as lifesavers that are stuck to the shirt. Guys have to pay money to suck a lifesaver off the shirt. The closer the lifesaver is to a sensitive body part, the more the guy has to pay.Option 2: You can have a stripper over (if your friend is really wild and open hire a female one) followed by a passion party or vice versa. A passion party is where you go to a friend's house and hire a passion party consultant to come out and show all types of adult goodies which include toys, dvd's, etc. Also, the consultant will go over kama sutra techniques to help keep your relationship spiced up during and after the Honeymoon.
In ending, keep it (somewhat) under control. As the Maid of Honor it is your duty to make sure the bride-to-be makes it through the night without any big regrets. Unfortunately this may mean you have to stay somewhat sober while all the others get intoxicated and loud. So don't let her do something that she may feel regret over leading up to her big moment. Basically, make sure she gets home safely...she can mess up the marriage without your help.
