My friend is getting married and I am her maid of honor, so I am supposed to plan the bacheloret party. Any fun ideas?

A very important point: Being the MoH does NOT obligate you to plan the bachelorette party. If you want to, great! If not, make that very clear to the bride now. Next, the cost and who pays those costs are a HUGE issue for bridal groups and causes horrible bad will. If you HOST the party, you are obligated to pay for the party. If you cannot afford that expense, you need to ASK the other women in the group IF they are willing to help cover the costs and how much they can afford. Only after you have all agreed on a budget, should you look at what activities you want to include.

What is "fun," depends on the personality and lifestyle of the bride. As her friend you should have some idea of whether she is a "pampered spas day,"chick-flick sleep over," or "bar crawl" gal.

You are the leader of the group. You don't have to go all out. Delegate the duties. If you have a really fun friend in the bridal group, ask her if she wants to help with the bachelorette party. Ask the Bride to Be what she would like to do, and go from there. You don't have to spend a huge amount, but you did accept the responsibility when you agreed to be the MoH. The role does not mean stand right behind the bride at the ceremony and hold her bouquet, it means it is your job to take care of things from start to finish. Organize and get help from the other bridesmaids.

Please remember that you don't HAVE to plan it.

If you want to, that's very nice of you, but don't feel like you absolutely MUST plan it.

That said, think about what the bride enjoys. Plan around that. For example, if you know the bride likes tailgating at baseball games, plan to tailgate before a game, then go see the game. Or if she's been talking about going to a particular night club for a while but y'all just haven't gotten around to it, do that. And so on and so forth.

Obviously avoid planning anything you KNOW she doesn't like. If she's not into strippers, don't even let that thought enter your mind. If she doesn't want the stereotypical penis shaped straws and candy and whatever else, don't do that.

CONSIDER EVERYONE'S BUDGET! Don't go planning a weekend trip to a hotel/spa that is going to cost everyone $500 each because odds are you won't have many people who are able to afford it. Ask AHEAD of time. Feel things out. Think of the people the bride would want there, then reach out to them and say "Here's what I'm thinking for the party, I have found it would cost everyone $XX each. Is that doable or do we need to think of something else". DO NOT plan something then turn up with an amount and then get mad when people aren't able to make it work.

Be sure to read all of the posts on this site which are written by bridesmaids who have buyers' remorse about having agreed to be in weddings. Whatever the girls' financial situations are, many of them say that they later realized that they don't want to spend that much money on someone else's wedding. It seems like they say, oh yes, I can spend $100 on a dress, yes, I can spend $40 on shoes, yes I can chip in for a shower, and yes I would love to go to Vegas for the bachelorette party. But eventually they add up all of the expenses, and they don't want to, or can't spend that much. Good luck.

MOH are not require to plan an bachelorette party or showers.

If she want to, she can plan one.

Plan it around what the bride likes.

Keep the cost down.

They do not have to be about drinking and male strippers.

They could anything the bride likes.

What does the bride like, people can give good idea base on that

Consider what your friend would enjoy. Some women want the wild night of drinking and acting crazy, others simply would enjoy dinner at a nice restaurant, and others would prefer a low-key ladies night in.

Yes you do. They no about what she likes. Does she like Margharitis and tacos? Have it at a Mexian restaurant and provide decorations. Paint nights are popular and fun.
