Do you have a friend who is about to get married? Are you apart of the bridal party? Well, what's one thing that happens before the wedding takes place? A bachelorette party of course! It's her last night out as a single girl. Therefore, it must be special. However, planning one is a bit tricky. Some brides are different from others and want completely different things. Not just with their weddings, but their bachelorette parties too. Well, Wedding and Party Network is here to give you a few tips to make sure the bride-to-be's bachelorette party is a success.

Dress Up – Everyone seems to enjoy everything much more when they're dressed up in costume. Yes, everyone does it, so why not join them? You can go as far as school girl outfits, punk princess, Mardi Gras, flappers or just have everyone wear the same colors and accent it with feather boas and beads. Wear matching flashing rings, wigs, sashes, matching t-shirts or hats. That night is the definitely the night to go all out.

The Right Foot – Start the weekend off on the right foot. Have everything organized and planned so you're not just waiting around trying to figure out what to do. If you're going out to dinner, make sure you have reservations ahead of time or if you plan on doing a shower in the hotel room, decorate it. Streamers, balloons, big diamond rings and pink table cloths will get you in the right direction. Make it glamorous and don't be afraid to go over-the-top for this, unless she's a more casual bride. It's all about planning and making sure the bride has an amazing time. Also, don't forget about the adorable bachelorette cake or cupcakes!

The Veil – Yes, the bride MUST wear a veil. It shows off to the world that she is the bride-to-be. Purchase a ready-made veil and decorate it to fit the bride's personality. Decorate it with ribbon, streamers, diamond rings or other unmentionables to make the bride stand out.

What To Do – So you're all dressed up, so now what? There are plenty of things to do for the bachelorette's night out and here are a few tips.

• Rent a limo – Yes, rent a limo or party bus and drive around town all night. This is a great for a large group and no one has to worry about driving.
• Vegas – Plan a trip to Las Vegas! It's the bride's last night out, so she deserves to have a great time. Plus, Vegas offers great activities from low-key to a night out on the town!
• Karaoke – Hit up all the karaoke bars and go dance and sign the night away. It's a great time to be had by all!
• Lingerie Shower – If the bride is more low-key, a lingerie shower is ideal. They're fun and it's a great time for the bride and bridesmaids to laugh the night away.

Don't forget to plan early depending on the number in your group and what you're going to do. Planning is key to make this night a success for the bride-to-be.

Bachelor and bachelorette parties don't always have to be crazy, wild parties.  With men and women marrying later in life, this leads to less wild parties as one might have in their 20's.  A beautiful brunch party combining the bride and groom's parties into one may be just the ticket.

Here's what you need to throw a wonderful Bachelor/Bachelorette party with class:

Bachleorette/Bachelor Party Needs A Tasty Treat

Brunch is breakfast and lunch combined. Its the best of both worlds and a brunch buffet is the perfect way to service these awesome foods. Selecting which brunch items to serve will depend on the the groom and bride's tastes or whom ever is throwing the brunch party.

A few suggestions are: an omelet station, ham, muffins, quiche, bagels and smoked salmon. Also, don't forget fruits and sweets such as crepes or pastries. If you're hiring a caterer, they can give you lots of other food ideas.

Every Bachelor Party Revolves Around Beverages, But Bachelorettes Want Them Too

Since this is a celebration brunch, you'll want to have some specialty drinks besides coffee, tea and o.j.  Mimosas are common place at most brunches, as well as Bloody Mary's, and of course champagne.

In fact, a champagne fountains can add a touch of class to any brunch. For a more personalized experience, serve a signature drink created just for the occasion.  Serve your signature beverage in a special keepsake glass that quest can take home.

Every Festivity Needs The Added Touch Of Decorations

Your party decoration choices will depend upon the personality of the couple.  If they have outgoing and vibrant personalities, decorate using banners and lots of shiny materials, as well as and blooming or interesting plants with some candles as table decorations.  Place fun and lively party favors on the tables to add interest.

If they are more reserved, you can use delicate paper lanterns and fresh flower bouquets with hurricane candles on the tables.  Soft delicate centerpieces accompanied with cute party favors may be all the decorations you need.

A brunch bachelorette/bachelor party is a really great way to celebrate a couple entering a second marriage or those marrying later in life. It is a great alternative for those wanting a more sophisticated bachelorette or bachelor party.

Brunch can be a casual affair or a more elegant affair. As the host or hostess, you can determine the level of sophistication, elegance and atmosphere of the brunch party. Think about the possibilities of a brunch party. After all, you will have the whole day to have fun.

Medieval themed parties are great for adult birthdays and children parties.  However, I attend the most awesome medieval themed bachelorette party.  A friend of mine wanted the bachelorette party she was hosting to be fun and unique.  By throwing a renaissance party, complete with minstrels and castle motif, she came up with a fantastic way to celebrate the bride's impending marriage to her price charming.  I didn't realize how much fun you could have at a bachelorette party.

How To Host A Medieval Bachelorette Party

Begin with renting event facilities that have themed rooms, this is a good way to go medieval without to much trouble.  Then hire caterers, rent costumes and hire musicians to play Renaissance music during the party. This type of bachelorette party can go to the extreme and be a full blown medieval experience or you can just do a bit by using castle cutouts and decorating with medieval themed items. The party I attend was full blown medieval, right down to the names we all had to call the bride "Lady Kathrine".

Mail out party invitations with a medieval design that say this party is for Lady {insert the brides name}.  Be sure to tell guests that it will have a medieval themed and where costumes can be rented, along with the usual invitation information (time and place).  If your doing this as the bachelorette party (which tend to be smaller groups), you can for-go the formal invitations.  Instead call the party guests and tell them what time the limousine will pick them up to go to the costume shop.  This way everyone can go to the costume shop together right before the party to pick out their outfits.  That is what our party of six did and it was just as much fun as the party itself!

Getting Your Medieval Bachelorette Party Started

I enjoyed the full-blown medieval festivities and it's defiantly not as hard as you think.  Just start by finding a costumes shops that will have the the appropriate attire for all party guests or at least the host and bachelorette.  Food is easy when you have the caterer prepare turkey legs, crusty breads, fruits  and cheeses along with other medieval table fare.  Of course you will need drinks wine and ale are a must. You stop there or really go all out with the theme. It is really up to you.  I loved the really elaborate party I attended but even a simple medieval bacherolette party would be fun.

Every bachelorette should have a medieval party. After all,  she has her prince charming why not a party fit for a princess.   In fact, I think everyone should go medieval and have a renaissance party, even if it just a kids party with toy swords and kids playing knight of the round table.

Wild or Classy – Bachelorettes Just Want To Have Fun

The bachelorette party is either the most dreaded or the most anticipated of events leading up to the wedding ceremony. Either way, it’s almost always the most memorable. Usually overlooked by the bride, planning for the bachelorette party is often left to the bridesmaids.

The first thought bridesmaids often have is the wild night out. This normally involves a male-shaped something-or-other and an inebriated limousine ride looking for ways to cause trouble and generally embarrass the bride-to-be … in a good-natured way, of course. This is the stereotypical bachelorette party portrayed in the movies, and it’s usually a threat or reality for brides-to-be. Remember: hide the photos.
