Start planning your Bachelor/Bachelorette Party using these 13 tips
Put away the Walkie Talkies boys (and girls) …
- Communication is key. Start the conversation early and touch base often. This is the only way to wrangle up the troops together in time for an epic weekend.
Mark your calendars
2. It is 100% essential that you select a firm date for the party weekend. Be sure to look into upcoming holidays, people’s work schedules, and if you’re going to an event, you better be sure it works within your time frame.
3. Duration is something you will want to convey to your crew as early as possible. Although it will add cost, if people need to travel or are simply only available for one day, it’s nice to have an option for someone to swing by at their leisure and help them celebrate their last day of freedom.

4. Are you going to get the heck outta Dodge? Once you have balanced out people’s schedules, it’s time to determine where your best bud will conclude his/her run at the single life. This is a big question that needs to be answered because it immediately stretches out the travel plans a bit further (when leaving town).
5. Hangin’ around town? Most future brides and grooms will have a preference on where they celebrate, and chances are you both have had a chance to feel out the situation. If plans suggest that staying in town is the way to go; then you had better be sure you’re not cruising through your old stomping grounds. No one needs a run-in with an ex. Let’s be honest.
How big is your squad?
6. Look, size does matter…when you’re planning a party. It’s important to do a bit of digging to determine what places are good for groups like yours.
7. Get rewarded for having a group: There are some ways to find some cost savings based on the size of your group, as opposed to paying individually upon arrival. (Like Xtreme Xperience for example)
8. Book in advance. That way you don’t show up, only to find out there’s no chance you’re getting everyone to participate.

9. What’s the group’s budget? Figure this out right away. If not, you risk losing a member of the pack, due to the fact that things are getting way beyond their (financial) means. Don’t worry, 1 or 2 will back out for this reason, regardless of the cost, but they were probably on the fence anyway.
We’re going where no one has gone before!
10. Even in your neck of the woods, there’s something to do that you haven’t done before. It’s good to get out of your comfort zones and find something new to experience.
11. Regardless of the debauchery, a bach(or/ette) party is a bonding experience. Get the boys/girls together and do something that doesn’t only include raging at the club. You’ll never stop talking about it. Which leads us to our next point.
Remember that time when…
12. You have to find a way to make it memorable. What’s the point of doing the same old thing your crew aalllwwwaayyysss does? Choose not to, and it will get swept under the rug of old crusty memories of yesterday.
13. Scope out the Groom/Bride’s bucket list. Can you check off something you wouldn’t have suspected? Make it happen if you can.
