Brides Bachelorette Obligations

Sarah, on March 19, 2021 at 10:45 AM Posted in Parties and Events 0 8

Hi Guys!!

So my 2 Co-Maid of Honors have taken to planning my Bachelorette Party! Which I love, I love surprises and not totally knowing what to expect; plus am overwhelmed enough with the wedding stuff and didn't need anything else on my plate! My questions comes as to what my role or responsibilities are for the bachelorette? What is the bride typically responsible for?

Thanks in Advance!

    Well this is something that sort of varies from person to person.


    Basically, just be the bride to them that you would want them to be to you. Meaning put yourself in their shoes type of deal. Every decision you make, I would suggest asking yourself if your mohs were getting married and they did this how do you respond to it.
    As far as what you’d be responsible for, it depends on the type of wedding you are having, but you could provide things like robes and slippers for them for the whole getting ready part. You also want to get them gifts for them for being in your bridal party. Typically people say shop for them as if it’s their birthday.
    As far as other things go that may probably not apply depending on how your group is…-settling disputes between bridesmaids if they have any issues, LOL hope you don’t have to deal with this.-making sure everyone has their dresses on time and help them set up their appointments if needed.-Making sure that they feel comfortable with any of your requests.-don’t be demanding.
    And yeah I think that’s about it. Good luck and congrats!

    Typically, you just need to show up! Your hosts should take care of everything. You might need to assist them with who all to invite, but otherwise, you should no responsible for anything. Just have fun and enjoy your party!

    The bride is the guest of honor and your only duty is show up and enjoy yourself. That is assuming you are having a normal low key one evening party.

    A regular local evening or afternoon or dinner for your bachelorette, you show up and they treat you. Longer parties like overnights,expect to pay your own lodgings, food and entertainment after the first evening.

    I'm letting my bridesmaids do the vast majority of the planning. I mostly just contribute ideas.

    For my bachelorette, we’re going away for the weekend and I’m doing next to nothing, honestly. I expected to pay my part for the AirBnb but my MOH nor bridesmaids would let me contribute. I’ll be paying for my food and drinks for sure! But everything else is paid for by my bridal party. We are doing a pole dancing class in Nashville, and they all paid my part for that as well. It all depends on your crowd! You’re going to get TONS of answers by asking on here, the best thing to do is figure out what your bridesmaids and MOH expect you to do!

    It depends. As MOH for my sister, I didn’t want to put the added money amount of my sisters expenses on the guests, so my SIL and I split my sisters portion of the Airbnb. Also, my sister paid for her airfare, and she wanted to contribute and pay for all of the groceries as a thank you to the girls for coming. I paid for her dinner on Saturday night (even tho she insisted on her paying for it), and everyone else was responsible for themselves.

    I am in a similar situation, as in i have no idea where I am going or what we are doing for my bachelorette, my 3 bridesmaids (no MOH) have planned everything. I am planning on paying for lodging and travel for myself but i have purchased some "swag" for everyone attending to say thanks... super cute hats and fanny packs. Otherwise, it is your bridal duty to have a great time and trust your MOHs.
