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.

A bridal shower is a gift-giving party held for a bride-to-be in anticipation of her wedding according to Wikipedia. The custom originated in the 1890s and is today most common in the United States and Canada.

It’s the bride’s last day as a single girl and her friends (married or unmarried) ensure she has the best time of her life. Most brides do the craziest things on their  bridal shower to make it exceptional and unforgettable.

The first wedding shower can be traced back to a Dutch story of a young girl who fell in love with a poor miller. Her father was not pleased with his daughter’s choice and refused to bestow a dowry (a sum of money and/or goods) necessary for the couple to set up a household.

The miller was a generous man who had shared his possessions and helped several villagers who had fallen on hard times. When the villagers found out the bride’s father refused to bestow a dowry on the newlyweds, they came together and ‘showered’ the couple with gifts so they could establish a home together.

Here are 5 reasons you should have an exceptional bridal shower.

1. Closure

Your bachelorette will let you make peace with the fact that you are closing an old chapter of your life and starting an entirely different one.

2. Bonding

No matter how chummy you are with your girls, ‘hanging with the girls’ is never the same when you become Mrs Somebody. It’s only fair that you enjoy these last moments as a single woman with them.

3. Confirmation

As much as nobody prays this happens, your bachelorette helps you reflect if you made the right choice or not. 😉

4. Intimacy

Most brides usually have cold feet before their wedding. Being with your girls on this night can be somewhat therapeutic as you can share your fears and anxieties with them.

5. Fun

Unwinding is everything! Something to take your mind off the wedding tension et al. Dancing, getting crazy and laughing out loud with your girls is the best antidote.

It’s your wedding eve and your last official party as a single lady. Have all the fun you can. You deserve it!
