Celebration organization

Let's consider the preparation stage. Who should do the planning? Usually the newlywed's girlfriends take care of organizing the holiday . They choose a place, think over the scenario for the bachelorette party, and buy gifts for the bride.

Many people ask the question: who pays for the bachelorette party ? The etiquette of different countries dictates the following options:

The bride pays;
Bridesmaids;
Witnesses;
Groom.

In Russia, it is customary that the expenses associated with the party are paid by the young woman (if she chooses the place and program). If the preparation process is to some extent entrusted to the girlfriends, then the financial costs can either be partially distributed between them , or lie entirely on their shoulders.

When to arrange it?

Traditionally, farewell to single life was held before the wedding . However, surviving two holidays in a row while maintaining strength and a beautiful appearance is not easy.

How many days before the wedding ceremony should you have a bachelorette party? The celebration can be scheduled on the weekend preceding the official event .

How to do everything right? What you need to think about in advance:

Make and send out invitations ;
Choose a place to celebrate;
Decide on the start and end time;
Decide on a dress code ;
Come up with entertainment ;
Decide on transport for the evening ;
Buy accessories for a photo shoot.

Invitations

Decide on the composition of the guests . Think about who you would like to see at the party. A bachelorette party is not just for girlfriends. You can invite one of your young relatives or colleagues with whom you enjoy communicating and whom you completely trust. You shouldn't invite people you don't know.

Selecting a location

Assess the preferences and character of the entire company. What do you prefer: relaxing options, such as a sauna or SPA salon; traditional (bar, restaurant) or active (karaoke, shopping, water park)?

The choice of venue is a determining factor when planning a budget for a bachelorette party. If you are looking to celebrate this event inexpensively, study the pros and cons of the most interesting places for you and draw up an approximate budget for each option. You can save a lot when going to a restaurant or cafe

by choosing a budget cafe near your home (at the same time you save on taxis);
by purchasing discount coupons or taking advantage of a special restaurant offer;
having discussed the budget with friends (for example, the bride pays for everything except drinks);
by choosing an establishment where you can bring your own food and drinks or order delivery.

Picnic

A win-win option for the warm season. To remember this day for a long time, it is important to think about its aesthetics and content. A beautiful picnic basket, blankets, glasses for champagne or wine, light snacks, flowers, matching accessories for your friends: for example, straw hats or scarves will come in handy. Consider an option for active entertainment in nature - you can take a badminton or frisbee with you.

What to consider when choosing a location?

Usually, all issues related to organizing a bachelor party are taken care of by the newlywed’s friends, but the opinion of the host of the event still needs to be taken into account.

Find out in advance in what format the bride herself sees the bachelorette party and where she wants to go. You can use this as a starting point when choosing a location. What else is worth thinking about when deciding on the location of the holiday?

Season . The warm summer months will provide more opportunities for a bachelorette party outdoors; you simply won’t want to sit indoors. In the cold winter or rainy off-season, the choice should be made in favor of cozy places where you can have a great time;
Budget . The expenses for organizing the bachelorette party are paid by the bride, so it is better to immediately clarify the amount you can count on. So, in some cases, you will need to pay not only for food, but also for renting premises and providing entertainment services;
Number of girlfriends . Not all options offer large capacity. If a lot of people are invited to the bachelorette party, then you need to check with the establishment about the availability of a spacious hall and free seats;
How many people drink alcohol? Do you have a quiet, low-drinking group? Then you can safely discard nightclubs and bars - you won’t be very interested there. A great alternative would be a picnic in the park or a river walk;
Is it difficult to get there by transport? If the place you choose is far from the city or somewhere on the outskirts, then the issue of transporting guests also needs to be considered;
Reservation . The place you like should be booked in advance. Bookings usually require an advance payment or reservation;
Discounts and coupons . Newlyweds are often given discounts. Ask the bride if she has any lucrative offers in mind. Using a discount, you can have relatively inexpensive entertainment even in the most popular place;
Reviews . Be sure to check out the reviews from previous visitors. It’s better to ask your friends or look at the website of the organization where you are going to go.

Master Class

A great opportunity to bring friends together if they don’t know each other. First of all, pay attention to floristic, culinary or creative workshops. Collect bouquets for a wedding for bridesmaids, prepare cupcakes or bake pies, learn to draw or sew - choose what will be interesting to you and your friends, and be sure that a joint business will unite no worse than parties.

A treasure map awaits

This version of the quest is suitable for active girls who are ready to move around the entire city (or neighborhood) in search of a mysterious treasure. You can decorate the box in a special way and put a bottle of expensive wine or excellent green tea in it so that all participants can enjoy the taste of victory.

Where do exploits begin?

You can prove that female friendship is strong and uniting by completing certain tasks in search of treasure.

To do this you need to think through the steps:

1. On the eve of the bachelorette party, you should “work out” the area - the city, district, yard or house where the search will take place: decide on the route.
2. In some places it is worth hiding small hints in a humorous form, indicating the path to further points. Make sure that these notes are not noticed by other people.

3. Draw a map. Let your fiancé, neighbor's child or friend help with this.

4. Prepare a pirate outfit: eye patches, bandanas, vests.

5. Pay attention to snacks. Cheerful running, especially over long distances, leads to an increase in appetite. You can pack a basket of groceries the day before or reserve a table in an inexpensive cafe with music a month in advance.

6. Warn the girls in advance about sportswear (for a cafe you need to clarify the dress code) and about spending money on lunch.

7. For a more expensive option, you can include horseback riding or kayaking, skydiving or go-karting in the quest.

What kind of bachelorette party is this?

A great girls' night out for energetic girls who need to let off steam before a big event. The card can be presented by a bridesmaid funny dressed as a pirate. She should help with the preparations.

If there are a lot of girls, you can divide into 2 teams and choose a captain and come up with a motto. Participants can also be decorated with eye patches and bandanas. After each destination, the girls can answer some riddles about the bride. A great mood and excitement will help make such a bachelorette party unforgettable for everyone.

Pajama party

A classic for cozy girls' get-togethers! Order matching pajamas, choose your favorite romantic comedy for the evening - although if you are a fan of horror films or superhero films, they will also go great in the fun company of your best friends. All you need for a perfect weekend is cocoa and marshmallows or a bucket of ice cream!

Bachelorette party in hippie style

Are you close to the spirit of freedom and the hippie concept? A bachelorette party is a great occasion to implement this style. Pick up dresses and sundresses with floral prints with your friends, rent a Volkswagen minivan, take blankets, pillows and light snacks with you and go into nature, as the bride Natasha did with her friends. Dancing, singing songs, braiding hair or making wreaths of wildflowers - it will be a very bright day, filled only with joyful emotions.

Stylized photo shoot

All girls love to be photographed! Don’t miss the opportunity to capture your favorite friends in a photo, because in the hustle and bustle of everyday life it can be so difficult to get everyone together. The resulting photos will be a wonderful gift for your best friends! Think over the concept of the shoot and decor details in advance, and together select outfits in the same style. Be inspired by the example of the bride Miroslava, who organized a real party in boho style: the girls together decorated the area, collected bouquets, set the table, and in the evening they drank wine and ate cake.

How to prepare for a photo shoot at a bachelorette party (costumes, makeup, etc.)

Directly on the day of the photo shoot, the preparation of its participants consists of putting on suitable costumes and doing appropriate makeup and hairstyles. It takes about an hour and a half, maybe two.

As a rule, girls cope on their own; in extreme cases, Photoshop can help correct minor flaws. But if you want everything to be absolutely perfect, you can visit a beauty salon.

Shopping

You can combine business with pleasure and go shopping for your wedding with a fun group. Choose dresses for the holiday for all your girlfriends, look for interesting decorative details at a flea market, or even come to a wedding salon for a fitting. The last option is suitable for brides who have few friends and for whom their opinion is very important when choosing an outfit. A successful hunt should certainly be celebrated with a joint dinner!

Dress code

The main highlight is the same detail of her dress: a hat, ribbon, bow, hairpin or veil.
The bride and her bridesmaids wear the same things: T-shirts, shorts or dresses of the same color. Often, as an addition, a light mesh fabric is used, gathered at the back of the head with a pin and depicting the bride’s veil. Girlfriends' veils can be of different colors. How to quickly make a beautiful veil for the bride and bridesmaids from scrap materials - detailed, step-by-step instructions .

Organza skirts reminiscent of ballet tutus are also popular.

If possible, order identical T-shirts in different colors with cool inscriptions on the back: “Waiting for offers,” “I’m next,” “My mom needs a son-in-law.”

You can get by with minimal costs if you sew your own skirts or use the denim style. Every girl has jeans in her wardrobe, and they go very well with white T-shirts or T-shirts.

And then, with renewed vigor, you can plunge back into the wedding troubles.
