Bachelorette Parties : the Knot

Bachelor parties have been a wedding tradition since the supposed Olden Days, when they gave the groom a chance to “sow his wild oats” before getting married. We are well out of that dark age ( thank goodness ), and these days ladies celebrate imminent weddings with their nearest pals too. Need some aid with this night on the town? Read our entire bachelorette party guide.

WHO HOSTS IT?
Virtually anyone can host a bachelorette party. Regularly the bridesmaid in chief and bridesmaids, who are near to the bride, do the honors, but any mate, relative (a cousin, for instance ), or perhaps colleagues who feel the urge can plan this party.

JUST DECIDE ON A DATE
Steer clear of the evening before the marriage — the last thing the bride desires is a hangover! She’ll be scared enough ; she should not have to fret about getting sick. ( The walk through dinner is mostly booked for that night, any way. ) If the marriage is in a city apart from the bride’s hometown, you may want to have the party before she leaves; even if the wedding is local, party at least 2 or three nights before the large day.

DO PLAN AHEAD
One person can plan the complete strike, or several people (like the bridesmaids or the clique from university ) can collaborate. Some bachelorette hosts ask for a contribution from each guest or co-host, depending on the kind of party — whether you are hiring a private room in a cafe or taking everybody for an afternoon of spa treatments, as an instance. That contribution may range from $50 to $200, but the bride should not have to contribute a cent. Be reasonable and don’t go overboard — you needn’t put yourself in debt over this. A fabulous time can be had by all for little money.

PICK THE GUEST LIST
Chances are that most bachelorette party guests — who are often the bride’s best gal buddies — are marriage guests, too, but it is fine to invite coworkers or neighbors who may not be invited to a small or out-of-town marriage. Just be up front with them about your limited marriage guest list — you don’t want to disappoint any well-wishers.

THE PARTY TIME
Bachelorette parties are more chilled and less structured than conventional bridal showers. There’s no “typical” whack, though what customarily springs to mind is a bunch of giggling girls dragging the bride from bar to bar ( perhaps encountering a sexy male stripper along the way ) and making her blush in public. You can paint the city red if that’s your style ( or, as significantly, the bride’s ). But there are lots of alternative routes to celebrate — a pleasant dinner at someone’s house or a fave cafe, low-key dancing at a cool club, a concert (maybe Prince is in the town and the bride totally loves him ) — the list is endless. The point is to reminisce, laugh, act goofy, and embarrass the bride at least a little (phallic props like wind-up mini penises are hilarious — as long as she won’t get completely offended!).
