Hello Darling!
I truly had such a blast planning my sisters bachelorette party to San Fransisco. It was so much fun being able to plan a trip that we would all remember forever. Throughout the planning process I definitely learned a thing or two about planning a destination bachelorette party. So today, I am very excited to share the ultimate destination bachelorette party checklist. This checklist includes everything you need to know about planning a destination bachelorette. From when to start chatting about destinations, when to book plane tickets and so much more.
Destination Bachelorette Party Checklist
When planning a destination bachelorette party, one of the most important things is to be organized. This checklist will allow you to do just that. So feel free to pin this, print it out and use it to help you plan the ultimate bachelorette party.
Breakdown Of The Ultimate Destination Bachelorette Party Checklist
FOUR TO THREE MONTHS BEFORE
- CHAT WITH THE BRIDE
– This is the time to chat about where she would like to go, what her dream bachelorette look like, etc.
- DECIDE ON A TIME & PLACE
– Now that you have chatted with the bride, it’s time to make the final decision on where you are going to go and when.
- TEXT BRIDAL PARTY
-Text bridal party to discuss the plans, and see who can attend.
- MAKE GROUP TEXT WITH THOSE WHO ARE COMING
– To make things a little easier, now that you know who will be attending make a separate group text with the bachelorette party group.
- MAKE TRIP BUDGET
-Destination bachelorette parties can get a little pricey. That is why it’s super important to make a budget ahead of time writing out all of the costs, and how you will be dividing everything up. ( Majority of the time the Bride’s costs will be taken care of by the MOH or divided up between the MOH and the bridal party- plane, hotel, food, drinks, entertainment, etc. )
THREE TO TWO MONTHS BEFORE
- BOOK PLANE TICKETS & HOTEL ROOMS
-To make sure you are getting the best prices and the correct amount of rooms I recommend booking everything three to two months out.
- BEGIN TO RESEARCH THINGS TO DO, PLACES TO EAT,ECT.
- START PUTTING TOGETHER ITINERARY & PACKING CHECKLIST
-I recommend putting together a GoogleDoc that can be shared with the entire group. This not only included itinerary but also packing checklist, money needed for the trip, dates when they should send you money through Venmo or PayPal, and so on. The most informative this list is the better.
ONE MONTH TO THREE WEEKS BEFORE
- MAKE RESERVATIONS
-Start making reservations for activities, lunch, dinners, etc. Since you will most likely be traveling with a larger group it’s important to make these reservations ahead of time.
- SEND OUT ITINERARY & PACKING CHECKLIST TO BRIDAL PARTY
- BUY DECORATIONS
-Think decorations for the brides room, things to create survival kits for the bridal party, and so on.
WEEK OF BACHELORETTE
- CONFIRM ALL RESERVATIONS
- FOLLOW UP WITH BRIDAL PARTY
-Check in to make sure everyone has sent their money to you, ask them to send you their travel information ( when they will be arriving/departing), and ask if they have any questions.
- PUT TOGETHER SURVIVAL KITS FOR THE BRIDAL PARTY
-I made survival kits for my sisters bachelorette party group and they were so much fun. I have included everything I used to make them below.
- CHECK FLIGHT TIMES, WEATHER, ETC.
- CHECK IN WITH BRIDE TO MAKE SURE SHE IS READY
- HAVE FUN!!
I hope this ultimate destination bachelorette party checklist is helpful to you. Even if you are not headed super far for your party this list still holds true to everything you need to know about planning. Have fun with this! As the Maid Of Honor, or Bridesmaid enjoy planning this special trip for your sister or best friend! These are memories you will have forever! 🙂
YOU ARE SO LOVED!
XOXO,Tay
