Planning a bachelorette may not seem as tasking as a wedding but it also requires thorough planning and deliberate execution. A bachelorette party is one organized to celebrate the last single days of an intending bride which is typically attended by only women.

Here are a few must-dos when planning a bachelorette party:

1. Proper Timing

There’s no rule book when it comes to throwing a party but a few weeks before the wedding is a good time. It’s  wise that the bachelorette party date is not too close to the big day so as to not exhaust the bride ahead of the big day.

2. Draft A Guest List

It is important to know who you’d have and who you’d rather not have on your guest list. Even though you may want to keep it all as a surprise. It is important to ensure that you know exactly who the bride-to-be would love to have at her bachelorette party. Never forget sisters-in-law, if any.

3. Focus On The Bride

Whatever theme, colours or outfits you might be choosing, be sure it resonates with the bride. It will be unfair to bring anything foreign to her on that night or do anything she cannot relate with. Do not get carried away. Focus on the intending bride’s personality.

4. Budget

You have to draw up a budget so you can know how much money will go into planning and execution. Have a conversation with the other bridesmaids or friends of the bride. This will help estimate the maximum amount that each person is willing or can afford to spend. This helps you know what kind of party you should actually throw.

5. Transportation

You might want to make adequate arrangement for transportation – depending on what you have planned out. Are you getting more cars? Will you need to hire cars or just order cabs? It is important that you factor this in and coupled with the number of people who might be coming along.

All in all, plan a bachelorette party, that keeps the bride at the centre stage, fun-filled and equally memorable.

Wedding In 2018? Every Bride Should Have These At Her Finger Tips Before The D-day

Getting married is no child’s play just as much as getting all set for your big day can be tricky. Half the time, most brides get edgy on their wedding day because things did not go as planned and hence, ruin a perfectly good day with a foul mood…and who cares for a wedding if the bride is not even elated about it.

To avoid being grumpy on your wedding day, here are 5 things to note before the D-day.

1. Beauty Sleep

Although, this may seem quite unlikely for one who is running around trying to put things in place but getting your beauty sleep is equally important.

Preferably have your bachelorette party a week before your wedding, if you can help it. If you don’t want under-eye bags on your big day then you need that sleep.

2. Eat Regularly

Nobody wants to look worn out, pale or even pass out while saying their vows. To avoid this, you must take your meals regularly. Especially breakfast and lunch. They are just as important as those plans!

3. Do Not Rush

You are anxious and everyone understands this but you need to take your time so you don’t mess things and get all tensed up. Starting out/planning early really helps. Give yourself enough time between your hair/makeup appointments, photos.

Ensure everybody knows where they have to be and when. Most importantly you need time alone before your big day so as to breathe easy.

4. Assign Tasks

No way! You can’t do everything- you certainly will break down as much as you’d love to see to the smooth running of things, entrust tasks to family members and close friends that you are certain will deliver in good time.

5. Take A Break

Relax! Don’t let your wedding plans take a toll on you. Have fun with friends, spend time with people you love, laugh a lot, dance, avoid anxiety as frequently as you can. Have the time of your life at your bachelorette.

Most brides are always too stretched as their wedding date draws near. It’s advisable that you leave no stone unturned but easy does it every time. Relax, breathe and have fun. After all, it’s your wedding day.
