Bachelorette Party

Hi everyone! I am trying to figure out when to do my bachelorette party. My maid of honor will be planning it but has asked me to pick a weekend. My wedding is November 17 of 2018. My summer is pretty booked up but there is one weekend in July that it would work. Personally, I feel like it isn't close enough to my wedding. I don't want it to just be a party for the sake of having a party. Ideally, I would rather have it in September or October but if we do that, then one of my 6 bridesmaids will not be able to attend. November is out of the question because it is way to close to the wedding. What should I do?

    I think if the date in July suits everyone, you could go with that date. What is more important: having everyone there or having it closer to your wedding date? I think whichever date suits the most people is the best option. Or, whichever dates suits the most of your wedding party as they will most likely be involved in the planning of it.

    I think summer is usually a pretty busy time for most people. September or October could be really nice. It sucks that 1 person cannot make it then but maybe you can Skype or FaceTime with them at some point so that they are still included.

    My bachelorette party is next weekend (March 24th-25th) and my wedding is April 21st. One of my bridesmaids will not be attending as it is too much for her to fly in from California twice in around 30 days. She is going to FaceTime in for some of it though.

    I’m having mine in May and my wedding is in August but one of my bridesmaids has to fly in from Vancouver and I thought coming twice in one summer would be a lot plus we have a ton of other weddings this summer to go to. The most important thing to me is having all my girls together for the bachelorette however my one bridesmaid who lives in Vancouver has always said that I can do whatever I want it’s all about me she’s very supportive!

    Are there any hard and fast rules as to when a bachelorette party is supposed to take place? I personally think it can be done anytime within 3-4 months of the wedding. I know girls who've had theirs the week of their wedding and others who have done it months before, so anything goes!


    How bad would it be if you did your bachelorette party without one of your bridesmaids?

    When I planned a bach for my sister we did it two months before because it was still nice weather and more variety! you could do a patio dinner if you wanted and you don't have to worry about jackets! I would check and see If people could do it in July.

    Thats a tough call to make. Do you know if all your bridesmaids would be able to make it to the July weekend?? Summer is a super busy time for most people.

    I have been to lots of bachelorettes that were months before the wedding, but they didn't feel any different than bachelorettes right before the wedding. If its important to you to have everyone there, i dont think July is too early. AND then you have the bonus of nice weather still.

    I think my bachelorette is being plAnned for 2 weeks before my wedding.... I should check on that...
