If you’re a maid of honor looking for a great location for a bachelorette weekend, take a look at wedding venues in East Texas. Why are wedding venues a great idea for your bride’s pre-wedding get-together with her friends? Because wedding venues in East Texas are already set up for multiple guests, usually have great amenities and are normally situated close to the entertainment and nightlife that can make a bachelorette weekend memorable. Finding that great location is just one of many steps you’ll have to take as the chief party planner; but if you keep it simple and stick with these 5 basic steps, you’ll end up with the best bachelorette weekend ever:
1. Ask For Help
Make a list of all of the tasks you have in planning the weekend ahead of time – then ask other members of the bridal party for help with each one, whether it’s coordinating with the resort or hotel, making restaurant reservations, decorating, creating invitations, etc. Even if you’re a control freak, letting some of the decision-making fall to others and getting help means less stress for you.
2. Talk To The Bride.
Of course, she’s your friend, but don’t assume you know what she’ll want in her bachelorette weekend. Talk to her and ask her where she prefers to have her weekend, what kinds of activities she wants you to plan and who she wants (and doesn’t want) at her party. Does she want the weekend to be one, long nightclub crawl or a peaceful weekend of shopping, mani-pedis and romantic comedies? She might surprise you.
3. Think About Budgets And Travel Time
When choosing a location for the party, take costs and travel distances into consideration. If your guests are chipping in, make sure that you don’t price people out of the weekend by choosing a super-expensive venue. And try to choose a location that is as easy as possible for the majority of your guests to get to. You’re not going to be able to please everyone with the location, but you can try to please the guests who are most important to the bride.
4. Do Some Scouting
Once the location is decided on, it’s time for a field trip or two to find out firsthand what the venue you’ve chosen has to offer your guests. If it’s close to a city that has restaurants, bars and other entertainment, check them out and make reservations as early as possible once you know how many guests will be there for the weekend and what kinds of activities the bride wants.
5. Go With The Flow
A hitch or two in your plans is inevitable so don’t worry too much when something does go wrong. From inclement weather to no-shows to lost reservations, there are an almost endless number of reasons you might end up pulling your hair out in bunches. Just make the best of it! As long as your bride is happy and everyone has a good time, don’t sweat the things that are out of your control.
