Planning a wedding can be exhausting!  There’s no doubt about it..all the appointments, dress fittings, worrying..it’s enough to drive anybody mad!  But, relax, it’s all going to be okay.  The Bachelorette Party is a great way to escape from the stress of planning and bond with your friends and oh, a time to indulge, indulge, indulge!  The party should take place 2-3 weeks before the wedding.

Here’s a few helpful hints to make sure your Bachelorette Party goes off without a hitch and make sure you have the most relaxing day ever.

• Who Hosts?–Your attendants or siblings could chip in to create a send-off that’s right for you.  Here’s a hint: Let THEM do all the planning.
• Pre-Party To-Do’s–Make sure the people organizing the party know what your tastes are, so you don’t end up being asked to do anything outside your comfort zone.  You need to still be prepared for some surprises.  You need to let them know if you would rather head out of town for the weekend or keep it to a one-day event.
• Venue–You could get the party started by jetting off to Acapulco or the Mexican Riveriera for margaritas and some clubbing.  Vegas is always an option! Or maybe a spa day (try Spa Noir, Salon Zeka, or Diva Nail Spa for some options), Or a day in the city sampling wine at a wine bar (like The Purple Cafe or Smash Wine for a couple venues)and remember, flowers on the tables are a nice touch..you can have them made by BiZi Bee Floral in North Seattle and delivered to your destination!; or gather at that fabulous restaurant you’ve been meaning to try (The Melting Pot, Canlis, Sky City Restaurant in the Space Needle, or Wild Ginger)
• Guest List–All members of the bridal party, sisters and close friends.

DAY-OF NOTES:

Make the Bachelorette Party night (or weekend) memorable by taking lots of pictures.  Plus, dress to impress in something sexy (depending on the event you’re having) and yes, this is one time a tiara is acceptable!
