Even though a bachelor or bachelorette party have been customary for some time now, people who are preparing to tie the knot nowadays have a more modern take on what this final party can be like. However the guidelines to throwing a fabulous one have remained unchanged, both for men and women. Below are the steps to throwing a truly memorable party:
1. Complete the Guest List
As fun as it may be for the groom or the bride to be fully surprised, it is advisable that you prepare a guest list and check it with them. This way, you’ll make sure that he or she gets along with everyone on the list, that their college best friend is not forgotten and even that the right people were invited out of courtesy. It’s best if you keep it a single-gender get together, but if you feel like having over some boys or gals who you know for sure will liven up the party, go ahead and call them up.
2. Pick a Spot
Now this is the core ingredient of a mind-blowing bachelor or bachelorette party. Depending on the groom or bride’s personality you will pick a location and the activity that goes with it – it can be anything from renting a beach house and spending a weekend there with the girls or planning a whiskey-tasting, cigar-smoking itinerary with the boys. Or maybe you’d rather he lived out the classic bachelor experience and you’d choose to hire professional Perth strippers. No matter what your choice is, be sure to include the idea in a poll and confirm that it’s everyone’s idea of fun and no one is attending merely out of peer pressure.
3. Ensure Transportation
If there’s something we know is that no one should be thinking about driving on such a fun night. Booze should not be capped, nor should the fun. This is why you may want to consider renting a limo – you will get to lie back and enjoy, as well as to ride in style. If you can afford it, we recommend to check this Texas rental bus.
4. Cover All Possible Expenses
OK, so it’s going to be a night in which no one needs to hold back from anything. You will be loud, you will be obnoxious and the people that will tend to your needs that night, also need to put up with your extravaganzas. This is why you need to tip before the event starts, so that people are reminded that it wasn’t your intention to hit on the barmaid on bartender, but that you got carried away by the booze – you are only human. Also remember that small accidents may happen, such as spilling drinks on the walls, breaking some glass and other such minor (hopefully) events. You need a budget that covers every possible aspect of a bachelor or bachelorette party.
5. Make It About Them
Remember. This is their special night, so it only makes sense that you humor the bride or groom regardless of what they want to do or say. Make sure to take picture and film important bits of the event so they can have this memory to look back to when they are happily married 10 years on.
Make your list, check it twice, give all the phone calls you need to give and then kick back and await for the magic to happen. This is a night that is not only special for the bride or groom, but also for you and the guests. Everyone there is entitled to have good fun and to not have to give too many explanations when they come home the next day in the AM.
