Planning a bachelorette party? Here are 5 Must-Rules to make last sail of Bride-to-be memorable

 You’re a bridesmaid and your best friend has asked you to plan a hen party to celebrate her last few days of freedom with a bunch of girls out for a crazy party, excited much? However planning a bachelorette party can be tad stressful, especially if it's something you have never done before. There are an array of options to celebrate a hen party; a weekend getaway to Goa, night out at a club or a theme house party. Let us help you with some quick pointers to keep in mind before you begin planning the party. 

1. Be the Rachel & Phoebe to your Monica – Make a list of guests who will be attending the party, consider their personality types, likes & dislikes. You do not want to go out loud with people who’re a bit coy or vice-versa, prep a mix of interactive activities & games for everyone to enjoy.

2.  Make sure you don’t be a Rachel while spending- You might be able to afford an expensive bachelorette party as a bridesmaid, but this could be a concern for others. Ensure you reach out to all women invited to discuss budgets before you make grand plans.  A quick tip for keeping costs down: Use a party planning app/service to design special packages and compare the prices with different merchants before making a final call, your fellow bachelorettes will appreciate you.

3. Use technology to make decision-making easier – Again, a party planning service would be a very good option to ease out the process. It could help you schedule an event that works for everyone (or for most people). Check the themes, food, games you require and Voila! Finalize plans with your friends based on their preferences & budget.

4. Channel the inner Monica - Let’s get it straight, an organized person can make each task streamlined. Let the most responsible person of the group plan out games and activities during the party. Ensure you plan the day out, weekend getaway or night out wherein you have enough time to enjoy & relax rather than running from one place to another. Of course get some help, but let the final execution be done by you.

 5. Phone-reminders are still in trend- Give plenty of notice, avoid conflicts with other commitments. Drop in reminders to the women invited to the party.  You don’t want to be ‘Phoebe’ or ‘Rachel’ who forgets to invite the guests and drops in late reminders. Don’t make your bride cry before her Bidaai. You could build an email excitement for a few days but we suggest to not overdo it.

Winter Special Party Ideas

• Decorating Outdoors

Let the natural surroundings of your yard be your main decoration. Isn’t that part of what having a party outside is all about? String white round lights around the yard to give a little light. Want to take it a step further? Put candles or small lanterns covering the entire area.

• Make your guests comfortable

Set up plenty of camp stools for your guests to pull up next to the fire or a cushioned sitting arrangement if you prefer sitting comfortably on the floor. If you have a fire pit use it for a safety purpose. Ensure that you purchase insect repellents to save your guests from being annoyed. Bonfires are toasty but you can amp up the cozy aspect even more by organizing snuggly blankets for guests to cuddle on.

• Prepare Your Food and Beverages

Apart from enjoying the warm glow of the bonfire, your party cannot be successful without some amazing party snacks. Prepare a delicious menu that will ensure that your guests have a great time putting together their own food and keep them talking about it throughout the night. Toasted marshmallows served with chocolate fondue can qualify as a great idea for all the sweet tooth people throughout the night, savories menu could include sausages, kebabs, pork chops for your guests to indulge.

• Get Your Playlist Ready

Apart from the regular flamboyant parties, bonfire parties are cozy, comfortable & toasty. Get a playlist ready which suits the mild & calm mood of your guests.
