How do I plan a bachelorette party?

The bachelorette party destination is the first thing to tackle when planning the event. Is it a poolside party or a wine-sampling weekend at a winery? Are you looking for a wild night on the town or a more chill spa day experience? If the event is out of town, make sure to allow for 2-3 days of both structured and unstructured time.

When should I send bachelorette party invitations?

If there are guests traveling in from out of town or if the bachelorette party is a destination event, make sure to send invites well in advance—at least three to four months—so arrangements can be made.
