Frequently asked questions...

When to plan a bachelorette party? 
Most have abandoned the notion of having the bachelorette party extremely close to the wedding.  Plan the party for approximately one month prior to the wedding, so that everyone enjoys all the wedding festivities.

Who's invited to bachelorette party?
The bride-to-be, bridesmaids, and any close friends or family that the bride chooses to celebrate with.  Whether or not the bride or groom's mother is included is entirely up to the bride.

Places for bachelorette party?
Plan a bachelorette party that the bride will love.  Whether the party is held locally or a favorite destination, the best place for a bachelorette party should be a known spot that the bride loves or let her pick.

Is a bachelorette party the same as a bridal shower?
No, the bachelorette party is more of a celebratory event, the last hoorah, or the last party as a single lady.  A bridal shower is an opportunity to bestow the bride and groom with gifts to help prepare them for married life.

What happens bachelorette party?
The bachelorette party is for celebrating the bride and her last days of single life.  This is achieved by planning the bride's favorite things and no one knows her better than the hosts.  Most activities should be planned with that in mind, so that everything planned is just the right amount of naughty or nice.
