Now that spring is officially (nearly) here, it marks the start of the wedding invite season. The summer months are the most popular time to get hitched, and it’s about now that the invitations will begin dropping onto your doormat. Well, it’s certainly a pleasant change from the usual bills, junk mail and takeaway leaflets! If any of your friends is getting married – you’ve got something important to think about before the big day! What’s that? I hear you ask. It’s the Bachelorette party, of course!
Bachelorette parties have taken over from pre-wedding luncheons in popularity. It’s a fun way to celebrate impending nuptials. It’s an excellent way to make sure your friend her last official days as a singleton in style. Every bride to be is different, and that applies to how she’d like to celebrate too. But beware! No matter what sort of party she’s having, there are a few do’s and don’ts that you should be aware of. It’s very important when you’re attending your friends pre-wedding celebrations.
The first rule when it comes to any bachelorette festivities is that the bride to be is #1. This is unequivocal and non-negotiable. It’s all about HER. The guests and bridesmaids have to bear this in mind. Always try and choose things to do that the bride will enjoy, even if it isn’t necessarily your typical cup of tea! Don’t choose this moment to air any grievances or complaints about the organization or color of the bridesmaid dresses in the upcoming wedding. This could lead to bad feeling, and you could be excluded from the big day. It’s not your wedding, so if it’s not to your taste, then it’s none of your business. You may feel insulted by not being the head bridesmaid in favor of her cousin from out of town but now is not the time. Be gracious. You should be grateful you’re a part of your friends special event.
If it’s your own bachelorette party, then you might not now that it’s tradition to give your bridesmaids a gift on or ahead of the day you’re getting wed. Why not give them something special at your celebration to show them how much they mean to you. After all, they’ve been there for you for years.
Don’t be that friend who gets too drunk. We’ve all got one. It’s not a nice feeling when you wake up and can’t remember what you got up to the night before. It’s even worse hearing it second hand from someone else. And is the hangover really worth it? I’d say no to that for sure! Don’t embarrass your friends or potentially ruin her night. You don’t have to stay sober, but you don’t have to go too crazy either.
Remember! When you’re taking photos on your bachelorette night out that you should think twice before posting them onto social media. Girls parties can get a little wild at times, so you probably shouldn’t post anything without whoever is in the shots permission. You could get them into all sorts of trouble! The other rule of the night? What goes on at the party, stays at the party!
