You guessed it… this blog post is going to be about everything bachelorette! I’m currently the Matron of Honor in my best friends Wedding, and I’m currently planning the bachelorette party (with the other MOH’s). So what better time to write a blog post about planning a bachelorette than when you are currently planning a bachelorette!
So where should you have a Bachelorette party? My best friend wanted her bachelorette to be at the beach… so guess what! we are having it at the beach (the bride gets what the bride wants!!!). Some great bachelorette locations (in the South) are :
Santa Rosa, FL | Destin, FL | Orlando, FL | Miami, FL | St. Simons, GA | Savannah, GA | Nashville, TN | Charleston, SC | Asheville, NC
Where you go depends on what kind of bachelorette the bride wants. If she wants to party, you may go to Miami. If she wants to hangout at the beach, you may go to Santa Rosa. If she wants to listen to music, you may go to Nashville. If she wants a bit of everything, you may go to Charleston.
So who should go to the Bachelorette party? For my bachelorette I only had my bridal party. For my best friend, we are having more than just the bridal party. It just depends on what the bride wants and where the bachelorette is at.
How should you decorate? To have a penis cake or to not have a penis cake. Isn’t that the main question when planning a bachelorette? I have found some great Etsy shops that have amazing decorations.
For EVERYTHING : Hooray Days
For plates, cups, napkins & extras : Little Orchard Craft
For penis extras : Anibucco
Bachelorette Group Portrait : Best Photo Magic
What should you get the bride? The bachelorette is a great time to gift the bride things for the night of the wedding… like after the wedding when she heads out with her new husband… aka lingerie. If the bride doesn’t want to be gifted lingerie, then loungewear, swimsuits, pajamas are also all great ideas.
Should you get matching t-shirts? or hats? or swimsuits? I think this is SO FUN! I love the idea of everyone wearing matching something one day or night. My BFF didn’t want us to buy anything special so we are all wearing the color blue while she wears white one night. Some brides LOVE the matching shirts and hats though.
Matching Shirts : Brilliant Bridal Shop, Mod Party, Knot and Hitch, Bymuya
Matching Beach Hats : Mod Party, Stag and Hen
Matching Swimsuits : Mod Party, the Tropical Wedding, Totally Brides
How do you stay organized? One of the other MOH’s found an app called BACH. You can invite everyone to the app and keep all of the expenses, plans, timelines, everything in this one app and everyone can see it! It’s really helped us stay organized and keep everyone informed about what to expect.
If you have any questions I would love to answer them! Just leave them in the comments below!
As always, all opinions and text are my own.
Stay Sweet! ♡
