BACHELOR / BACHELORETTE PARTY! THINGS YOU NEED TO DO BEFORE YOU ACTUALLY START ORGANISING IT!

There is not a person who does not know what a bachelor/bachelorette is. Whether it's from movies or your friends' unforgettable parties, you will have more or less experienced the excitement and endless revelry of this day. Both the maid of honor and close friends are invited to relieve you of the burden of preparation and give you "a party-to-remember". You leave the clichés about freedom aside and focus on enjoying the moments dedicated to you and your company. But before you wear the bridal crown, be sure to sneak a peek our tips on how to plan your party, or more importantly all the things we advice you to keep in mind before start planning it and then we can give you some great ideas!

FIRST THINGS FIRST!

Organization

The first thing that needs to be done is discuss with the groom or bride where they want their party to take place! Listen to them and respec their wishes about the theme, place, kind of party that they like. Do not do something that you think they might like but actually they are going to hate it!

Expenses

This is a discussion that NEEDS to be done before organising anything and your head starts to fill with all kinds of exciting ideas! Saving money would be a good idea to have started some time in advance, and a budget calculation would also help in budgeting the project. Surely conversations will have taken place between the prospective groomsmen and the first ideas of what they would like to do will have already been dropped, so they will know whether they are going to visit the bars in their home town or the bars of an overseas city.

Guests

A few good people will be part of the party. No people of the opposite sex, no parents and relatives, but only the very close friends of the groom or bride.

...AND YOUR GOOD TO GO!

"Just take our advice and keep in mind this list of "do's and don'ts" when is the time to start the organisation. Trust me, you will thank me later!"

Don'ts

• Don't plan it the day before the wedding! Although you might actually are going to have a blast, a lot can go wrong! Nobody wants to attend the wedding with a hangover, a sunburn, or a broken nail!

• No worries / No pressure! Stress and pressure are removed and you live the moment!.

• "The less, the merrier"! Don't feel the pressure and obligation to call all your acquaintances. At the bachelorette, share experiences, secrets and concerns about the big day.

• Your mother or mother-in-law, as cool as they may indeed be, are unfortunately excluded from the bachelorette list.

Do's

• Organise a three-day celebration! It doesn't have to last only one day or involve a story of drunken rage!

• Bridesmaid's gift. It can be a small or large gift, even a thank you card, as long as it symbolizes gratitude for the best friends who have invested time and money to prepare something unique.

• Feel free! The bride's soon-to-be-husband doesn't need to know in gruesome detail the bachelorette program unless you want him to. This party is purely a woman's affair. You can make it clear what is permissible and what is not at the respective party, both sides and set your boundaries as to what information he will try to elicit from you...

• Have fun! Capture the moments, laugh your heart out, dance until the morning and drink until the drunkenness sweetened you. These are the moments you'll have to remember and laugh at while reminiscing about the wedding, so you should enjoy it to the fullest!
