Bachelorette Planning Checklist


Whether you’re planning an intimate dinner with the bride and her friends or going out for a night on the town, this Bachelorette Party checklist will help you prepare for the party of a lifetime.


3 Months Before the Bachelorette Party

  • Ask the bride what she wants (or doesn’t want) for her bachelorette party. Will it be dinner with close friends or a night out on the town?

  • While you want everyone’s attention focused on the bride, you don’t want to embarrass her. Talk with her to understand what she will and won’t be comfortable with.

  • Decide whether you want the party to be a surprise to the bride.

  • Set the party date. Aim for a weekend night about 2-3 weeks before the wedding that is convenient for the bride.

  • Start the guest list.
