The most popular question I get from MOHs and other planners of the big night is, “where do I start?” So, today’s post is dedicated to how to start to plan your big night out.
1. The first thing that you want to do is offer to plan the bachelorette and talk to the bride to be about who she would like in attendance. Request a guest list from the bride-to-be that includes everyone first and last name, cell number, address, and email address.
2. The next thing you want to do is pick out a date. The best way to do this is to ask the bride for three dates and suit her best. Then, send the group a save the date email. I like to use evite for this, since they have such cute personalizable options.
3. After you have the date penciled in, talk to the bride about what she would like to do. She may be your pal from the high school cheer squad, but what you gushed about doing in high school for your bachelorette might have changed. Just make sure that you both are on the same page so she isn’t expecting spa day and gets stripper.
4. The next thing you want to do is make a to do list of the things you need to do. Some items may include:
1. invitations
2. dinner reservations
3. party favors
4. bar/club/spa reservations
5. hotel
5. After you make the list, delegate! Not only will this save you time, but when you get people involved they feel more a party of the bachelorette party and have a better time. Plus, they get to do something special for the bride to be, after all they are good friends too!
