Ideas For Bachelorette Parties

Planning a bachelorette party and not sure where to start?

Ideas For Bachelorette Parties at wedding venues in Dallas

Bachelorette parties are a time for the bride-to-be to have one last hurrah with her girlfriends. When planning a bachelorette party, remember that all brides are different and what one person thinks is a great time might not be someone else’s cup of tea. Bachelorette parties don’t have to be all about night clubs, tequila shots, and embarrassing hats – make sure the bride-to-be will comfortable and that it’s something she’ll enjoy.

Planning a bachelorette party and not sure where to start? The best way to get started is to choose a bachelorette party theme that will create a unique and memorable celebration for the bride-to-be and her friends. With so many different types of bachelorette party themes, it will be easy to find the right one in Dallas to fit the personality of the bride-to-be.

Suggestion For Bachelorette Parties Themes
• Spa Theme: For the bride who loves to over-indulge and relax, a spa themed bachelorette party is perfect. Make sure you book treatments in advance for everyone in the party at a local spa. Treatments like manicures, pedicures, massages, and facials are exactly what will make this party relaxing for the bride-to-be and her guests. Coordinate with the spa in advance of the party to see what you’re allowed to bring to the spa. Champagne, strawberries, and cheese and crackers are all foods that work well for a spa bachelorette party.

• Karaoke Theme: A karaoke themed bachelorette party is a recipe for hilarity! It is also easier to plan and much more casual than some of the other themes. Invite everyone for a fun-filled night of bad singing with great friends. Even though it is a casual party, the bride-to-be will undoubtedly have a night to remember. Make the night more special for her by showering her with crazy bachelorette party favors and treating her like a rock star!

• Cooking Themed Party: If the bride-to-be loves to eat but needs some practice in the kitchen then this theme is a fun way to eat, drink, and learn how to cook. A Dallas venue that can pull this off is Central Market. They provide cooking lessons and demonstrations. This will give everyone an opportunity to learn how to make a delicious new meal and you’ll be able to taste the dishes after the lesson. It is a relaxed yet fun way to celebrate a bachelorette party with friends.

This schedule will keep you on track. Here are a few bachelorette party tips to keep in mind as you plan a bachelorette party in Dallas for someone special to you:

3+ Months BeforeEstablish the theme. Review your options together. If she does want to walk on the wild side, get her to define exactly what that means.
Set the date – try for a weekend night one to two weeks before the wedding. (If members of the bridal party are from all over and can only convene a few days before, that timing works, too.) Create the guest list.

2 Months BeforeSend out a casual “save the date” email to see if there are calendar conflicts with invitees.
Brainstorm possible game plans and party stunts with the bridesmaids (make it a surprise for the bride).
No matter what the format, alcohol and bachelorette revelry usually go hand in hand. So please be responsible and start thinking about transportation arrangements — many groups book a chauffeured limo or party bus for the evening.

1 Month BeforeSend invitations. Try EVite service – it is a free email invitation service. Make sure your invitation politely informs guests that a contribution to the festivities will be expected and name the price. Don’t forget to include the costs needed to cover the bride-to-be—she shouldn’t have to pay for anything on her big night. Make all necessary reservations and ask about drink specials and bachelorette freebies. Make your transportation reservation(s).
Order T shirts based on your theme. Customink has numerous ideas for bachelorette themes.

1 Week BeforeBuy bachelorette party accessories – novelty veil, tiara, bite-me candy necklaces and other naughty props. Make a list of the games you want to play, with rules and how-tos, in case you forget after too many margaritas. Keep it handy. Confirm attendance and transportation arrangements.

1 Day BeforeDebrief the bride – it’s okay to keep some of the details a surprise.
Remind guests of the meeting place and time, reiterating the address. If there are several stops planned, name the second address, too, for latecomers.
Re-confirm all reservations and get plenty of sleep.

Take a deep breath and and let the party begin! It’s a moment she’ll defintely remember for all time. Enjoy the planning process, and stay engaged with every facet of it because it really does fly by. Finally, and most importantly, enjoy your special day.

Maid of Honor from A Sister’s Perspective

MOH From a Sister’s Perspective

Weddings are hard work, and it falls to the maid of honor to help handle some very critical and important details. As the Maid of Honor, or Matron of Honor, you have one of the most important roles in making sure the wedding is a success. You are the go to person for the bride when it comes to guidance, a fresh perspective and just coping with everything–especially last minute details. A Maid of Honor is a bride’s best friend. Being chosen as an honor attendant can be a chore, but it is also a tremendous compliment and a lot of fun! If you are on the lookout for new information you can use for your own wedding, participating in a friend’s wedding arrangements can be a big eye opener!

I’ll always remember my sister bursting into the room exclaiming, “We’re engaged!” Those were the exact words that had fallen from my her lips as she excitedly shared the good news to me and our family. The whole while she wore the biggest smile we had ever seen. Three months later, the wedding date was set and I was chosen to be her Maid of Honor. Besides feeling very honored and ecstatic that I was chosen, I was also nervous! I had never been chosen to be a “Maid of Honor” for any of my friends but it wasn’t too long before I knew what my duties would be. Becoming her Maid of Honor (MOH) meant that I would now become even more close to my sister. I would be her right-hand woman and someone who would not only help with wedding details but also the one person she could always depend upon and lean on when just coping became tough. I suddenly found myself deeply committed at every level, and began thinking about the goals and objectives that lay ahead for her (and me).

My sister picked out 3 ladies from a list of her best friends to be her bridesmaids and each one was very supportive and helped to make her big day become a reality. They were helpful with suggesting different resources such as suggesting different wedding venues. Other events too, such as helping me plan her Bachelorette party, and helping us set up at the venue the day of the wedding! I helped my sister compose a list of guests to invite to the wedding, discussed wedding themes and which wedding colors would look best, and options for each table set up. We had a basic idea of what the center pieces would look like on each table, but once we got all the pieces together she and I felt as if something was missing. That’s when my mother came in to lend a hand with her creativity. She is renowned for her craftsmanship, she’s a lady who knows how to mix and match and blend materials together for a marvelous effect. She created the most elaborate centerpieces using an assortment of vases and attaching Rhinestone, ribbons and beads, and blended a beautifully decorated focal point. She used small submergible lights, and delicate orchids in the vases that matched the wedding colors, and helped create a warm and soft glow to the whole ambiance. As soon as she unveiled her masterpieces, I could tell my sister’s heart was stolen, again!

Being a Maid of Honor is a lot of work, from helping to plan the little details to the big tasks such as the Wedding Cake and Photographer. It was an experience I’ll always remember. Here are a few more ideas I want to offer for any new MOH’s who may need a jump start on what you need to do and where to begin.

As a MOH you must help in going with the bride to look at different locations for the wedding and researching wedding venues. Aside from choosing what day and time to have the wedding, many times the Bride needs help in choosing a venue to hold the ceremony and party together, and having your suggestions and wedding venue ideas ready ahead of time will help her begin getting her thought process focused. We started using Google or Yahoo, try to use certain keywords to narrow your search as local as possible such as, “wedding, venue, ceremony, reception” followed by the city where the wedding will take place. This method may help gather relevant venues specifically for that area. By participating in this critical step it can go a long way in helping reduce the stress for the Bride-to-Be.

Helping the Bride design her wedding invitation layout, may seem overwhelming due to the many layouts to chose from, but it is mainly important to go for a layout relevant to the weddings theme such as the wedding colors, or if it’s a Autumn themed wedding for example. Using Pintrest.com for wedding ideas has many do-it-yourself projects for wedding invitations and decorations which makes this part of the process a fun project for the Bride, MOH, and the bridesmaids to do together at the Bride’s home over a glass of wine and laughs after visiting the nearby craft store.

While going with the Bride to shop for her wedding dress and bridesmaid dresses, it is very important to help make sure the dresses that are ordered will arrive in time for alterations. A MOH must attend all dress fittings while giving the Bride some constructive feedback on how the dress looks and fits, but don’t forget that it is her wedding. As a MOH, you must direct the bridesmaid court through their duties and keep them all on the same page. These duties may consist of making sure everyone gets their bridesmaid dress on time and attend dress fittings, as well as finding the right jewelry for their wardrobe.

A MOH must host and plan the Bridal Shower as well as the Bachelorette Party with the bridesmaids and must attend both! Also, you must acknowledge the invited guests to these events, and share with them where exactly the Bride and Groom are registered for gifts. For the Bachelorette Party; whether it is a trip to Las Vegas, or a night out in the town, make sure it’s a night with lots of fun, games, and fun accessories. However this party is planned; just make sure it is with a ton of fun because after all, it’s her last hurrah as a single lady!

On the day of the wedding, it is the MOH’s job to make sure the Bride has everything she needs the day of the wedding, assist her with getting into her dress, fix her gown and veil before she walks down the aisle, and hold her bouquet when she meets with the Groom. Most importantly, make sure it’s a day for the Bride to remember!

An MOH is a lot of work, but it is so much fun and exciting seeing everything come together the day of the wedding. The best advice I would give to another Maid of Honor is to be open minded in the decisions the bride makes (after all it is her day). Gather and coordinate as much as you can think of and have those resources at the ready which can be a huge benefit to the wedding. Realize that some things may go wrong, but don’t dwell on it, but rather do your duty and be diligent to verify, and validate every order made. If things go awry, then get onto fixing it—and plow ahead through until your check list gets smaller and smaller! Most importantly, think about the bride first, spoil her rotten on her bachelorette party with love and plenty of laughs! Always keep tissues handy in the bridal room, and remember to help keep up with the Groom’s ring! Finally to help her get into her wedding dress and her shoes and most of all . . . remind her to breathe!

Enjoy the planning process, and stay engaged with every facet of it because it really does fly by.
