Bachelorette Party Planning Guidelines: 4 Easy Steps
By Gwen Liveris
You just found out that you are the hostess for a bachelorette party. Your blood pressure rises, your nerves begin to get frazzled, you get tongue tied. How are you supposed to tell the bride-to-be that you are not up to the challenge?
Well don't worry, you won't have to if you use our easy to follow guidelines. You can throw a party that will be a huge success. When the bride-to-be hugs you to thank you, she will mean it from the bottom of her heart.
Step 1: Write down who you think the bachelorette would like to have attend her party. Of course all of the bridesmaids will be included, and if you are not familiar with their names or addresses, get a list from the bride's mother or other close friends. Use these guests as resource to obtain the names of others. You will want to invite fun friends that the bride will be inviting to the wedding. If the bride is having a small wedding, others may be invited, but please let them know before the party about the limited guest list for the wedding.
Step 2: Think about how many guests you are having and try to decide on a plan of action. Answer all the questions below on a rated scale of 1-5. 1 meaning "not at all", 5 meaning "very much so".
How conservative is she?
1 2 3 4 5
Would she enjoy a male dancers performance?
1 2 3 4 5
How would she respond to having male member shaped party favors?
1 2 3 4 5
Would she like to participate in a scavenger hunt?
1 2 3 4 5
Would she enjoy riding in a limo?
1 2 3 4 5
Would she be willing to travel by plane?
1 2 3 4 5
Would she like a full weekend getaway?
1 2 3 4 5
Would she enjoy the spa?
1 2 3 4 5
Would she enjoy gambling?
1 2 3 4 5
Would she like to have a relaxing evening at home?
1 2 3 4 5
Step 3: After reviewing the answers to the above questions, you can start to plan the activities, from a small gathering of friends and inviting a psychic for the evening, to flying to Las Vegas for a weekend of all night parties! Try to keep in mind the ages of your guests and their budgets.
Step 4: Inviting the guests. There are many online shops that carry bachelorette party invitations that you can order and send out in the mail. There are also email invites if you have email addresses available. Phone calls are more personal, and if the party is large you can ask some of the bridesmaids to help with this task. Make sure the helpers have a list with all the details, and names and phone numbers for who to contact. Make sure all RSVP's come back to you. It is always easiest to collect money in advance. It may be $10.00 for a home party to $250.00 or more for a weekend getaway. Please make sure every detail is spelled out for the guest including what will be included for the money given. For example, does the money include a gift for the bachelorette, food and drink, transportation, tips, etc.. You may even want to include what type of clothing to bring if it's a weekend getaway, or if you are having a color scheme, or party theme. The main goal is to give your guests more than enough information so they don't show up feeling unsure or anxious about anything. Give them the exact address and time you plan to meet. Remember to start planning early enough so your guests have time to arrange their schedules so they can attend.
Main objective: Have a great time whether it's relaxing or WILD! Don't be surprised if you get a few offers during the party to host another one! If you follow the party planning guidelines, your party should be a huge success! Give our best wishes to the bride!

Bachelorette Party Games: Start the Fun at Home
By Gwen Liveris
Your best friend is getting married and you are the maid (matron) of honor. What an honor that is! The only problem is that you are not sure how to plan the bachelorette party. Listed are a few games that are guaranteed fun! Please start the bachelorette party at home so your guests feel more comfortable and can get acquainted. If you decide totake the party out on the town later, you can reflect back on the fun activities from earlier in the evening!
Guess The Nuts
1 sturdy wooden hanger,
1 small salami or pepperoni,
1 pair men's cotton y-front underwear,
large safety pins,
whole walnuts,
needle and thread
Sew the leg holes and y-front of the underwear closed. Pin them on the wooden hanger using the safety pins. Fill the underwear with the walnuts making sure to count how many you put in. Place a small salami or pepperoni down the front of the underwear. When the guests arrive have them guess how many nuts are in the underwear. Encourage the players to feel the nuts! Leave the nut filled underwear hanging up for the remainder of the party, as it makes a great party decoration! The closest guess below the actual number, wins! The sausage and walnuts can be eaten at a later date!
Tape the Shape on Her Man
1 posterboard,
multi colored construction paper, scissors, clear tape, markers,
1 blindfold,
1 enlarged picture of the grooms head
On the posterboard, draw a picture of a sexy man's body from the thigh area up to and including his neck, but leave out his male member. Tape the picture of the grooms head onto the neck. Try to make this proportional, but if it's not, sometimes it's even more funny! Tape the poster to the wall at waist level.
Hand each player a piece of construction paper and have her cut out a shape of a male member. Make sure she writes her name on the back. Blindfold the first player. Fold down the square end of her playing piece and attach a loop of tape to it.Put the other end in her mouth. Spin her around 3 times and have her get on her knees to crawl over to the poster. Have her press her mouth up against the poster until her playing piece sticks. She must not use her hands to feel the poster. The player who is closest to being anatomically correct, wins! This is the big girl version of Pin the Tail on the Donkey! Wear the game pieces as name tags later in the evening.
Cucumber Race
1 cucumber per player,
1 maraschino cherry per player,
2 cans whipped cream
Divide the players into 2 equal teams. Choose one person from each team to be a captain. Seat the two captains across the room with one cherry per player and a can of the whipped cream. Have the rest of the team line up on the other end of the room and give one cucumber to each player. To begin, the first players in each line place their cucumbers between their thighs so the cucumber is horizontal to the floor. Have the players race down to their captain. The captain places some whipped cream on the end of the cucumber and places the cherry in the whipped cream. The player races back to the starting line, balancing the cherry on the cucumber. Then it is the next players turn. Continue until each player has a turn. The first team finished, wins! If a player drops her cucumber or her cherry falls off, she must start over. This game promotes team spirit!
These games are so much fun and are a great way to get the party started in the right direction!
