Throwing a Fabulous Budget Friendly San Diego Bachelorette Party...

The Bachelorette Party gives you a bit more freedom than the Bridal Shower and is also a cost that can be split among all Bridesmaids!

When planning your budget friendly Bachelorette Party take into account the kind of "Party Gal' you are planning for, remember this night is in celebration of her. Splurge on the little details that will leave her treasuring her friendships and feeling like the luckiest girl in the world, without breaking you bank! Make sure all Bridesmaid are on board early, take everyone's budgets into account and keep a check list to stay on track.

Forgo Dinner:
If dinner and drinks is not affordable for the group, host a pre-evening hour at your home with drinks and appetizers, before hitting your favorite dive bar for a night or cheap drinks and karaoke!

San Diego's Live Music Scene offers an a variety of music and old time cover bands singing our favorites! Plan your evening around an upcoming show or music festival. We are coming into the season of outdoor venues along San Diego's beautiful Bay, with the Gaslamp in walking distance.

Days Leading up to the Wedding...

Remember you are her go-to-girls! Keeping her calm and stress-free in days leading up to the Wedding will ensure she truly enjoys her day. All of this meaning... you are going to be very busy! Get started with a check-list... check in and offer to take care of any last minute errands, take responsibility for small projects and make sure to confirm arrangements for the Bridal breakfast/luncheon.

If you are the Maid of Honor, check in with the Bridesmaids to see if there are any last minute needs, double check everyone has all pieces of the Wedding Day attire. And most importantly, just be there for your friend... be available! Lastly make sure to pack a Wedding Day Bridal kit... toss in your gal's favorites snacks, bottled water, breathe mints, lip gloss, sewing kit and Kleenex!

Be a "Fabulous Friend" and take in the joy of the day!

 

Create a Signature Cocktail...

Why not! Get the girls together and create a Signature Cocktail or Shot for the Bride to be! Make it fun, name it after a crazy memory of your last Cabo trip or nick-name for your girl... base it off her favorite liquor and get creative!

Carry the theme of the Signature Cocktail through the pre-wedding events... Bridal Shower, Bachelorette Party and Wedding Day toast (with just the girls)!

Add the cocktail to your Shower menu or speak with the Bar Manager at the planned Bachelorette Party and have the Signature Cocktails waiting upon arrival. You are sure to get a great reaction and create a new tradition.
