Planning a wedding can be stressful, but you might be feeling the added pressure to have a bachelor or bachelorette on top of all of this. Sure, your bridal party generally handles most of it (we hope), but they are still going to be asking you for ideas and maybe some off-limit or must-have activities to include! Today, we are going to be talking about a few common and not so common ideas for your pre-wedding party!
Unconventional ideas
Typically these Bachs are done separately and are shown as a celebration of your last “single” night. Well what about spending these nights, or a portion of these nights together with your partner?! By getting your favorite guys and gals together it’ll save some time, money, and be the perfect way to party with all the people that have supported both you and your partner all those years.
Imagine this; the gals spend a relaxing morning getting pampered at a spa, while the guys enjoy an early morning breakfast and video game binge; in the evening, both groups come together for a smore-filled bonfire or Airbnb cabin adventure! This is also something that will let your bridal parties bond and be more familiar with each other to avoid those awkward walks down the aisle on your big day.
Now what if you wanted to take it up a notch? Get up and out of your home town and on an adventure together and still spend a part of every day with your partner. While the guys play a competitive game of beach volleyball in Mexico, the gals can hang out all day by the pool with some margaritas, and end up venturing in to town as a group later on in the evening. These joint trip parties are also great for large friend groups that love to travel and adventure together!
How big can we Bach?
Don’t forget this is still your party! You want the people there that have supported you, so don’t fret if your ex-sister in laws cousin isn’t invited, but mom wanted her at the wedding. These celebrations can be just you and your bridal party, your group of high school friends that couldn’t make it to the reunion, or just you and your family!
If you have a bigger group, a good consideration might be spending the entire day or night out together so you have enough time to spend with each person. Having a bigger invite list also takes some pressure off the bridal party and can help with any rental costs, set up, food and anything involved with the day!
A smaller bach party will still have all your favorite fun things, and will definitely be more intimate where you’ll really get to spend time with every single person there. Smaller parties also tend to be less complicated to plan, and there will be less schedules and budgets to plan around.
Big or small, your Bach can be as eventful as dive-bar hopping, a haunted forest adventure, or renting a cabin in the woods. On the flip side, it’s also great evening to relax playing some board games, enjoying s'mores around a bonfire or being pampered by a professional.
At the end of the day, your Bachelor or Bachelorette could be anything you want and will be a party to remember.
