How to Plan a Bachelorette Party by SimplyBridal

How to Plan a Bachelorette Party

A bachelorette party is typically organized by a bride’s maid of honor and bridesmaids to mark the end of her “singlehood” and journey into married life. The guest list almost always consists of the bride’s closest female friends and relative, who get together for a day or night of celebrations.

Although there is no set theme or plan for a bachelorette party, there are important factors to consider when it comes to planning the event. Most importantly, make sure you start by consulting with the bride about the type of event she expects. Once you’ve established this, allow yourself enough time to make the appropriate arrangements, such as organizing invitations, transport, accommodation and itinerary.

To help you keep on top of your party planning, SimplyBridal has put together a handy timeline to ensure you throw the bride a bachelorette party she’ll remember for many years to come.

A Guide to Headpieces by SimplyBridal

A Guide to Headpieces by SimplyBridal

Veils have been a long time tradition as head wear for the official wedding ceremony. Though some modern day brides have decided to throw out the traditional thinking of the past, and go for a more modern or bohemian look (see etsy). Others want the traditional look but want a little more personality to it. In the end it is the most special day of the brides life and shouldn’t she feel like a princess? Why not add a tiara to the top of your hair, or channel in some Gatsby by going with a feathered headband or a Juliet cap.

Bridesmaids on the other hand don’t have the opportunity to wear a veil as a headpiece, but that doesn’t leave them without options. Have your hairdresser add in some modern hairpins, or even a headband with rhinestones or lace (depending on the theme of the wedding). Don’t fret, SimplyBridal’s newest infographic is a quick introduction on popular styles and will help you figure out which headpiece is right for you.
