5 Reasons Your Bestie Deserves a Bachelorette Party (& How to Make Sure it Doesn't Suck)


You've been mates for life. You probably went to school together, maybe even hated each other for a while before you realized you were meant to be BFFs. After those endless evenings talking about love, marriage and happy endings, the Big Day is finally here for your bestie! It deserves one crazy night – a bachelorette party she'll never forget! 




Still not convinced? Here's why you must:

Renew your friendship vows: A kick-ass bachelorette party is the best and most exciting way of reminding her of your life together - without the boys, without the commitment. By creating the most memorable night for her, you're symbolically renewing your vows of friendship, you know, over endless glasses of wine and nostalgic high school banter. Sounds like fun? 

Pro tip: Pick a theme that best represents her ... after all, you know her best! Don't stick to something safe and boring, think naughty - think Beach, Bikini, Booze…!



Time–Out: Mummy, daddy, uncles, aunties and the numerous relatives are flooding her house, and frankly, your friend needs you. She needs to breathe - (and drink?) - and let her hair down. As the Sex and the City Book of Commandments states: “When with girlfriends, be thy self.”

Celebrate Yourself: When an army of girls set out to celebrate freedom, you're actually celebrating womanhood. Appeal to your conscience. Here's another excuse to laugh loudly, dress the way you want to and just enjoy being a woman. Do it for the feminist in you.

Pro tip: An army looks good in uniform, girls. So give 'Team Bride' tees a thought. Or if you want to go down a simpler route, try some funky badges with messages customized to your bride. 

Create Memories: "Remember that time at your bachelorette when we..." No, you don't, because you never threw your friend a bachelorette party!! "Bad decisions make good stories" and parties make the "best" stories. So do it for that feeling you'll get when you're looking at an old album on Facebook. When you're thinking, "Wow, we looked so good." Or when your bestie and you need a reminder of the times you've had together, or the day you heralded a new era of your lives, with a glass of bubbly and a song on your lips.

Pro tip: A party doesn't have to end when it ends. Make sure your bachelorette party has customized favors that you and your girlfriends can enjoy for the rest of your lives. This little trinket would be that one secret from your crazy time together, making it totally worth the trouble.
