Organizing your best friend’s bachelorette party can seem like a challenging task, especially when you are planning to do a destination weekend. Unlike a regular bachelorette party, which can even be impromptu, devising bachelorette weekends in other locations requires specific considerations to be made. However, you can effortlessly manage it, if you take care of some small but essential details. Here’s how you can arrange an unforgettable destination bachelorette weekend for your best friend!
Talk to the bride
One of the most critical aspects of setting up a wonderful bachelorette weekend is understanding what the bride wants. So, ensure that you inquire about her expectations. For instance, is she looking for a full-fledged party or does she want a serene getaway with loved ones? This can also help you shortlisting an ideal location for the bachelorette weekend. If she enjoys a tranquil environment, then you can book a quiet beachside resort with amenities like spa, access to a private beach, etc.
Pick a location
Based on your bride’s and bridesmaids’ recommendation you can narrow down an ideal destination for the bachelorette party. Some of the terrific places for bachelorette weekends are Vegas, Miami, New Orleans, New York, Nashville, Chicago, etc. If you have a flexible budget, you can also visit the cities in Caribbean Islands and international destinations such as Bali, Bangkok, Maldives, Dubai, Ibiza, Goa, etc.
Start early
Since you will be traveling to another city or country for the bachelorette weekend, it is crucial that you start planning soon. Preparing two to three months before the tentative dates will give you an upper hand to explore and mull over various options related to travel, stay and activities.
Prepare a guest list
Reach out to the bride and bridesmaids and put together the guest list. This can include close friends, family, and extended relatives. After preparing the list, ensure that you reach out to them in time, so that they don’t schedule anything else during the bachelorette weekend.
Finalize the dates
You can pick the dates based on the convenience of the bride and other guests. It would be great if the bachelorette weekend is two to four weeks before the marriage ceremony. This is because the bride might be caught up with several appointments in the weeks before the wedding.
Customize activities
Once the location has been decided, you can think about what kind of fun activities you can arrange for the bride. Apart from a great party, your bachelorette weekend could include a short adventure trip, vineyard visit, wellness retreat, music festival, sailing, art class, or volunteering.
Managing costs
Remember you and the bridesmaids incur all the expenses of a bachelorette party. So, while you are planning the itinerary, ensure that all of you are on the same page. There is no need to worry as you can zero down on a budget destination too. Likewise, also ask the travel agencies for any discounts or special deals.
Finally, a week before the bachelorette weekend confirm all the stay details, send reminders to all the invitees as well as important information like addresses and numbers. Also, get plenty of rest so that you could have an amazing time with your best friend.
