How to Throw a Classy Bachelorette Party

Whether your sister is getting married or a friend from college is tying the knot, throwing a bachelorette party is one of the most memorable parts of the wedding. The traditional bachelor and bachelorette party occur the night before the big day, as the bride and groom's friends join together and celebrate their final night of singledom. Learn how to throw a classy bachelorette party, one that the bride will remember fondly.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

1. Not every bachelorette party has to involve single men and a hired striptease. Chances are, if your bachelorette party is innocent and classy, your husband to be will do the same with his bachelor party.
2. Instead of going out to the club with your girlfriends and bridal party, consider doing something a bit untraditional. Get tickets to a ballet or opera. Put on evening gowns and go out in style. Have dinner at a Zagat-rated restaurant and end the evening with a champagne toast.
3. Throw a destination bachelorette party. If your bridal party is in a tropical location for the wedding, research what activities you can participate in while in paradise. Go rock climbing, ziplining, parasailing, or cave exploring. The more unique the wedding location is, the more unique your bachelorette party can be.
4. Have a culinary adventure. Hire a private chef to give you and the girls cooking lessons, have some expensive wine, and make do-it-yourself dessert. When you're married, you'll have plenty of time to order pizza in. Let your last night as a single woman be savory.
5. Make the night all about you. Have older relatives tell stories about you growing up and girlfriends share funny stories about your college life. Watch some home videos or reminisce on your old yearbooks. Becoming a married woman is a milestone in a female's life and she should celebrate the life she lived before tying the knot.
6. Do something spontaneous. No, this doesn't mean going to a male revue. Go bungee jumping, skydiving, or whitewater rafting. Mark your last day as a single gal with something you'll never forget.

Tips & Warnings

• Let friends and family know about your bachelorette party plans. You are allowed to take some control over your final day as an unmarried lady.
• Don't drink too much. The last thing you want on your wedding day is a piercing hangover headache.
