How to Throw a Bachelorette Party
Before your friend becomes a wife, have a fun night with the girls and throw her a bachelorette party.
Instructions
- Step 1: Determine party type Determine the type of party you're going to throw. Talk to the bride and get a sense of whether she wants a wild party or a more traditional get-together.
- Step 2: Schedule the party Schedule the date of the party. The weekend before the wedding is usually a good choice.
- Step 3: Invite guests Put together a guest list of the bride's female friends and family, and invite them early enough so that they can attend.

- TIP: Make the bride wear an embarrassing novelty necklace, shirt, or veil.
