Planning a Bachelor / Bachelorette Party - What to do, What Not to do
Planning a Bachelor Part or Bachelorette Party can be quite a difficult task. It’s tough to get everyone to agree on a date, location and the evenings events. The more people involved, the more difficult it gets. So, here’s a suggestion for planning a Bachelor / Bachelorette party.
- Request a list of friends that the Bride or Groom wishes to have at their party.
- Create an email distribution list of all of the friends invited to join in on the Bachelor / Bachelorette Party.
- Send an initial email out to all of the invitees requesting their preference in order, for a date. Remember to request that all of the replies are made to you, not all who are on the list. Additionally, remember to remind the invitees that if they are aware of someone who didn’t make the list, to provide you with their contact information.
- After receiving all of the emails, determine what date is best for all. Remember, you can’t please everyone. So, pick the date that’s best for the greater majority.
- Next, solicit ideas from all of the attendees. Maybe dinner and a night out on the town? Maybe just a football game. Ask for everyone’s suggestions.
- Pick 3 suggestions and allow all of the invitees to state their preference in order.
- Estimate the cost per attendee, some things to keep in mind, transportation costs if you using a limo or cab, entrance fees, dinner, etc.
- Collect money from all of the attendees before the actual event. Otherwise, you’ll be hunting down the Groom’s cheap friends months after the wedding!
