Planning a Budget Bachelorette Bash

PLANNING A BUDGET BACHELORETTE BASH
Planning a bachelorette party doesn’t require cartloads of cash – all it takes are a few creative ideas!

You want to throw the bride-to-be a fabulous bachelorette party, but you’re working within limited means. No problem! You don’t have to drop a lot of dough to throw an unforgettable party. Read on for our best bashing-on-a-budget ideas.

SLUMBER PARTY
The Scene: The ultimate girls-only gathering, a slumber party, is a good way to get in touch with your roots—especially if you and the bride are childhood friends. Just pick a place to crash—the maid with the biggest couch wins of course!
Activities: Take this opportunity to not act your age.

♡ Stock up on DVDs of the horror movies that scared you senseless in high school, or the latest and greatest chick flicks.
♡ Bring along all the necessary supplies and give each other manicures and pedicures during the party
♡ Order a pizza and tease the delivery boy like you did when you were 12.
♡ Pick a frozen drink to blend and tell stories (keep them lighthearted) where you each take a big sip every time someone makes the bride blush.

BAR CRAWL
The Scene: Just because you’re on the budget doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a night on the town! Pick a few local bars in the same area of town (they should be within walking distance). Even two bars does the trick – and remember, the smaller bar, the more attention your group will get! Tonight is a good time to set yourselves apart from the crowd – wear feather boas, matching cowboy hats, tiaras, or leis – because if everyone knows you’re celebrating, your evening is bound to include a few free congratulatory rounds.
Activities: Don’t underestimate the hilarity of a bachelorette scavenger hunt. Create a checklist for the bride of tasks to complete, from the simple (get a guy to buy you a Sex on the Beach cocktail) to the creative-and-almost-impossible (find a guy who has your first name tattooed on his body and take a photo). Take photos of the bride’s successes and keep them in a scrapbook along with an official sign-off from any participants.
Knot Note: Be sure to arrange for a designated driver. You’ll probably need it after a long night of barhopping.

DINNER PARTY
The Scene: Play hostess and invite the girls over for a gourmet dinner. Look for a tasty recipe (find the perfect recipe on TheNest.com), stock your kitchen, and get cooking.

Activities: If there are enough of you, break into groups to cook each course – one group grills the chicken, another assembles the appetizers. And don’t forget the wine! Set the table and enjoy the fruits of your labor. You could even invite the groom and his guys over for dessert – or better yet, include them in the cooking and make it a competition!

Bachelorette Party Planning Basics

BACHELORETTE PARTY PLANNING BASICS
Charged with organizing a crazy night-on-the-town for the bride-to-be? Here’s your complete bachelorette party guide.

Bachelor parties have been a wedding tradition since the so-called Olden Days, when they gave the groom a chance to “sow his wild oats” before marriage. We are well out of that Dark Age (thank goodness!), and these days women celebrate imminent weddings with their closest pals too. Need a little primer on bachelorette party planning? Keep reading.

WHO HOSTS?
Virtually anyone can host a bachelorette party. Often the Maid of Honor and bridesmaids who are close to the bride, do the honors, but any friend, relative (a cousin, for example), or even coworkers who feel the urge can plan this party.

THE GUEST LIST
Shower guests must all be invited to the wedding, but this isn’t necessarily true for bachelorette parties. Chances are that most bachelorette party guests – who are generally the bride’s best gal pals – are wedding guests, too, but it’s fine to invite coworkers or neighbors who may not be invited to a small or out-of-town wedding. Just be up front with them about your limited wedding guest list – you don’t want to disappoint any well-wishers. It’s usually best to keep this party pretty small – definitely under 20, and under 10 is probably ideal.

DECIDE ON A DATE
Steer clear of the night before the wedding – the last thing the bride needs is a hangover! She’ll be nervous enough; she shouldn’t have to worry about getting sick. (The rehearsal dinner is usually scheduled for that night, anyway). If the wedding is in a town other than the bride’s hometown, you might want to have the bachelorette party before she leaves; even if the wedding is local, party at least 2 or 3 nights before the big day.

PLAN AHEAD
One person can plan the entire bash, or several people (like the bridesmaids or the clique from college) can collaborate. Some bachelorette hosts ask for a donation from each guest or co-host, depending on the type of party – whether you’re renting a private room in a restaurant or taking everyone for an afternoon of spa treatments, for example. That contribution may range from $50 to $200, but the bride shouldn’t have to contribute a dime. Be reasonable and don’t go overboard – you needn’t put yourself in debt over this. A fabulous time can be had by all for little money.

SPREAD THE WORD
Store-bought invitations will do, or make your own with a desktop publishing program or paper, scissors, pens and glue. Choose a design with a theme in mind, even if it’s as simple as the bride’s favorite color. Some hostesses forgo official invitations and just call guests a few weeks before the wedding – it all depends on the type of party you’re planning. If you need to make reservations for a show or other activity, you’ll probably want guests to officially RSVP. If you’ll be hanging out at the corner bar, scrap the invites – a phone call is probably fine.

PARTY TIME
Bachelorette parties are more laid-back and less structured than traditional bridal showers. There is no “typical” bash, though what usually comes to mind is a group of giggling girls dragging the bride from bar to bar (maybe encountering a sexy male stripper along the way) and making her blush in public. You can paint the town red if that’s your style (or, more importantly, the bride’s). But there are lots of other ways to celebrate – a nice dinner at someone’s house or a favorite restaurant, low-key dancing at a cool club, a concert (maybe Prince is in town and the bride absolutely adores him) – the list is endless. The point is to reminisce, laugh, act goofy, and embarrass the bride at least a little (phallic props like wind-up mini penises are hilarious – as long as she won’t get completely offended!)

TOKENS OF APPRECIATION

The bachelorette party is not a gift party in the same way a bridal shower is – presents are not necessary. That said, this is a great opportunity for guests to give the bride silly gifts – or even sexy ones (like the lingerie that was just to risqué for the shower). You might ask everyone to bring a gag gift (one guest we know presented the bride with a glamorous red wig to wear all night) or something hot – a book about fabulous sex complete with diagrams, or perhaps a how-to video! Regression is another option – give her candy necklaces or rings, bubbles, glitter, or a water gun. The goal is for the bride and her guests to just have fun before the wedding.
