How to Plan a Bachelorette Party for a Teenager
The bachelorette party is a momentous occasion that marks the final days before a wedding. With the extensive planning that many brides-to-be are putting into their actual wedding, it's a nice break for them to have a fun night with just the girls. Traditionally, bachelorette parties might be held at pubs or involve alcohol; however, in the case of a teenage bachelorette party, cocktails are not appropriate. Great bachelorette parties can be organized without the typical pub scene. The major goal of the party should be that the future bride has a great time and that she gets a chance to spend a few hours of her final unmarried days with just the gals.

Plan a Teenage Bachelorette Party

1
Pick a date. Traditionally, bachelorette parties were held the night before the wedding; however, this can be stressful for the bride and all those involved. Instead, a date should be chosen that's convenient for the bride and her guests. Generally, weekends are a good idea, especially if the teenage bride works or goes to school during the weekdays. This allows flexibility in case the party extends late into the night.

Locate a venue. In the case of a teenage bride, location is slightly more limited than for a bride that is over 21. However, if the bride loves to dance, her host should look into dance clubs that allow teens. In this case, they may have a separate room for a private bachelorette party, or just a large table can be reserved. Some other appropriate locations for a teenage bride's party include someone's home, a restaurant, a hotel, a park or any place where a private celebration can be held.

Keep the bride in mind. Above all else, the celebration is for the bride-to-be. Therefore, the party should be designed according to her likes and dislikes. If she is a homebody, a fun party might be held slumber party-style and simply involve snacks, movies and board games. If she loves to go out, pick a restaurant that she enjoys and request a separate room for the party.

Keep decorations appropriate. Depending on the age of the teenage bride, some bachelorette party favors may not be suitable. Bachelorette parties often come equipped with sexually explicit decorations and favors. For brides who are over 18 these may not be an issue; however, the parents of brides who are under 18 might not approve of such favors.

5
Make a budget. The cost of a teenage bachelorette party (or any party) can get out of hand when not monitored. It is important to set a specific budget and plan all of the components of the party with this budget in mind. These factors include party venue, food and beverages, decorations, games and gifts for the bride.
