Bachelorette Party

View Quoted Comment Oh wow!!! How sweet!!! 🥰 Is your date a special date?

I let my girls know what I wanted to do and let them figure out all the small details.

View Quoted Comment Sure , as long as you pay all expenses for everyone, because you planning it makes you the host, not a guest of honor. And not a cooperative party where a group of people all plan ( not you) and agree to pay their own way, and all split the cost of the guest of honor. But if you want to plan it yourself, like any party you plan, and pay everyone's food, drink, and admissions for a show, and if overnight, any lodgings, for everyone going, of course you can plan a party. Just do not expect any contribution at all from others, as it is no longer their party in your honor to host, for them to plan and pay, including deciding who is invited, but a party you are hosting for guests , for which you plan and pay, and determine the guest list . . . I wanted something that was not the drinking and clubbing g party some were planning, limited to wedding guests only. So I had my own women's weekend. I paid resort motel rooms for 12 friends for 3 days and nights, for a dinner out, for theatre tickets one night and a James Taylor concert another, me paying for everybody. And I bought groceries for us for the kitchen and outdoor grill, provided boats and paid waterfront fees, and or course decided who to invite. . . You always have the option of throwing your own party, as long as there are no presents to you involved, and you as host pay all costs for everyone, like any party or house party you give. . . Where people go wrong g, is thinking they can do all the planning, choose who is invited, and yet in their own honor, with others paying anything toward expenses. You host, you pay. To expect others to pay anything toward it is as rude as charging people to come to your wedding reception, or your own home birthday party. Just decide: they host, they plan and pay and you stay out of planning except date. Or you host, and plan and pay for everyone, for everything. Standard party etiquette.

I have not gotten as far as a bachelorette party yet but even if I’m not planning it on my own I do want to have some input so my maid of honor will be asking me what I would do things I like blah blah

We’re planning our own his/hers Bach party. I’m happier this way because we can get what we want and not something crazy. Keeping it low key and doing a 3 day camping trip.

I helped. I wanted everyone to be able to attend so I helped my MOH come up with a location that was a fair distance for everyone to travel and helped her find an affordable hotel. I also picked the restaurants we ate at and the bars we went to

My best friend and I are getting married only weeks apart, so we are doing a joint bachelorette party as we are each other’s MOH’s. We are getting some of our closest mutual friends together and renting a cabin in Gatlinburg, TN for a few days and just taking some time to hang out and catch up. Nothing crazy, but good memories.

I have been very much involved in planning mine. My MOH lives out of town and we are doing it where I live so she really didn’t know where to begin. And she really wanted to make sure it is what I wanted. She has booked everything (Airbnb/restaurant reservations etc) after I told her what I would like.

I’m not part of mine. My MOH has planned everything. The bridal party is meeting at my house at a certain time & my MOH is picking us up. I know kind of what to wear too.

I'm not part of the actual planning, they just ask what I would prefer to do (ie: spa, wine tour, painting night, etc.) and then they'll go from there

View Quoted Comment Are you finding that to be expensive ?

View Quoted Comment Not really! Right now between the four of us it’s averaging out to about $150 a person for the weekend at the cabin. Then whatever fun money we wanted to bring with us. The great part about renting a house is that you can adjust the cost by the number of people you bring, the house/cabin you choose and the time that you go. Off-season and week days tend to be much less expensive!

I pretty much planned and coordinated it, including hotel and flights. The bridal party will now help me decide on what activities to do while in vegas.

I only know where we're going/staying but they're surprising me with what we're doing (and apparently a surprise theme)!

View Quoted Comment We wanted June 20,2020 for my dearly departed grandmother’s birthday but every Saturday atbour venue was booked more than a year in advance. We went with the 28th! Does your date have a special significance?

I made suggestions as to what to do and I picked the location. (My MOH was in a devastating car accident last November and I wanted her to be comfortable where we went, which is why I chose the location.) other than that, I don’t know anything 🤷🏻‍♀️ I heard something about lumberjacks but who knows lol.

We have opted to do wine and paint for my bachelorette party with my mother in law, sister in law, my sister and mother. Didn't want to do the whole party and club.

I picked the dates we went and the location. Activities, attire, games, etc were all a surprise! It was a great time! My girls did a GREAT job!!

View Quoted Comment OMG!!! We would’ve been date twins for real!!!! That’s was our first date (June 20,2020) but Father’s Day is that Sunday (21st). My dad is paying for the wedding so I want to do something special for him. In my perfect world, I hope to not have to worry about anything wedding wise that week so I can make it all about him (we’ll see how that goes! 🤞🏾. But, to answer you question, No! Our date doesn’t have any significance to it. When deciding on dates we knew we wanted good, if not great weather for the honeymoon. I didn’t want to do July because I didn’t want it to be too hot and June is when the weather is pretty decent. So we agreed that the end of June would be best because we usually take summer vacations in July anyway 😊. That is beautiful though! I hope you guys have a great time!!! ❤️

I’ve always been the type to plan out my trips with my Fiancé and Friends. So, I decided to plan my own especially since I want to travel somewhere! Also, I get military discounts and am good with negotiating prices. That’s why I’m planning my Bachelorette trip but, I’m leaving the cute surprise of whatever my girls want to do for me up to them!
