Tips for Throwing a Bachelorette Party
Every experienced bride understands the truth: the wedding isn’t just a single “special day.” In addition to organizing a gorgeous, memorable wedding, the bride and groom also juggle the reception, rehearsal dinner, lodging for out-of-town guests, and so much more. This is why, traditionally, the maid of honor plans the bachelorette party, treating the bride to a much-deserved night of fun and distraction!
If you’ve the lucky maid of honor, don’t be overwhelmed by this responsibility. Just take this night one step at a time, and keep these tips in mind.
Identify your Tone
Before doing anything else, stop to consider what tone this evening should hold. Not every bride is looking for a wild party, just as not every party needs to necessarily follow the same-old bachelorette party script.
Is your bride more reserved, shy, or introverted? Instead of a crazy night of drinking, maybe consider treating her to a more relaxed celebration. Create adorable invitations she can happily send to her mother, aunts, and future mother-in-law to unite her friends and family under a single roof.
Maybe your bride is looking for a happy medium ground, something between the traditional antics of a bachelorette party and a relaxing vacation. In this case, consider treating the entire bridal party to a delicious dinner before hitting up the town, seeing a show, or celebrating at a hotel.
Whatever your plan, it’s important to make sure everything is done in service of the most important girl of the night: the bride. Be open, ask what she wants for her evening, and get the plans started from there.
Book a Venue
Once you’ve gathered an idea of what you want this bachelorette party to look like, it’s time to book a venue. Due to the restraints of Covid, this wedding season promises to be the busiest one of the decade, so it’s vital that you book a venue in advance!
As you search, keep in mind the size of the event. No matter how many guests you plan on inviting, you’ll find what you need among:
- Nolita: The perfect venue for an intimate, cozy night with your best friends and family. With its clean, modern design and full bar, it’s the perfect location for your shower, party, or celebration dinner! This 850 square-foot space seats 32 guests.

Consider a Theme
Now you’ve found your venue, it’s time to decorate! Keep things simple by selecting a theme that matches your bride’s interests, then adjust to fit your budget.
For a tighter budget, select just a few key colors and decorate your venue in advance with corresponding balloons, streamers, and tablecloths. If you’re feeling more adventurous and your budget allows, consider matching t-shirts, personalized cocktail glasses, or other accessories to help the bridal party to stand out among the guests!
Don’t forget to plan games and events to keep the conversation flowing and all your guests engaged.
