Wedding Help

Now typically, the maid of honor is in charge of planning and coming up with different bachelorette party ideas (see Duties of the Maid of Honor) to give the bride and her bridesmaids a good time before the wedding takes place, as well as a break from all the wedding planning that the bride has been doing. In some rare circumstances though, the bride is left to helping the maid of honor come up with bachelorette party ideas, or even plan it herself. Such was my case, for different reasons, my maid of honor was unable to help me with a lot of the duties that being the maid of honor entailed. Sometimes it can be hard coming up with different bridal shower ideas, and bachelorette party ideas. So if you are the maid of honor looking for different bachelorette party ideas, or a soon to be bride looking for ideas to help out your maid of honor, then you’re in luck. I’ve been to several bachelorette parties, and have seen what works and what doesn’t, and have some great ideas to help you get started planning your bachelorette party.

Make Your Bachelorette Party Creative

One really fun thing that I almost did for my bachelorette party was to have an art party. Let me explain. There is a place nearby that allows groups to rent a room and paint pottery. There is a sitting fee and price for the kind of pottery that you want to paint, and the group can decorate anything they want to, and stay for a number of hours. Have all of the bridesmaids paint something, like a plate for the bride to decorate her new house with, and it makes a great memory for the bride as well. Add a meal out with the girls, and you’ve got a great bachelorette party that can be a lot of fun.

Make Your Bachelorette Party Tropical

Depending on the time of year, and your location, you can have a “tropical” bachelorette party. Plan a beach or pool party, complete with Hawaiian leis, little plastic cups with the paper umbrellas, and have a great time. Different activities such as hula contest, pinata, and much more can help bring your tropical bachelorette party alive. Bring food out to the event, or have a bonfire so that everyone can participate.

Make Your Bachelorette Party a “Killer”

My sister’s bachelorette party was a lot of fun. A group of ladies took a trip out of town to Austin, where a Murder Mystery Dinner was held every night, care of a local theatrical group. The actors were extremely entertaining, interacting with the guests and they really were pretty funny. On top of that, at the end everyone could fill out a piece of paper to guess who the murderer was. The food was great, the actors were funny, and everybody had a really great time.

Just because you are having a bachelorette party does not mean that it has to include bar hopping and male strippers. A bachelorette party can just be a time and fun and relaxation, to spend some quality time with friends, and most importantly, to help the bride relax and not stress over the wedding planning details for a while.
