You’ve got so much to think about when you’re planning your wedding. Between the ceremony and the reception, there’s about a million details. And just when you think you’re done, there’s one last question: How are you going to leave your wedding reception?

Most couples plan a grand exit, so the guests have a chance to wave goodbye. Another popular way to end the reception, is with a sparkler send off.

If you’ve spent any time on social media, you might be wondering - is that normal? Does everyone spend a week in Cabo for a bachelorette party? Answer: No. If you’ve all got the time and money for it, that’s a fantastic way to celebrate with your bride. But most people don’t. So don’t worry if your party is a lot more casual.

The idea behind the bachelorette party is for the bride to spend some time with her friends. You don’t need to spend a ton of money to have fun together. In fact, most brides don’t want you to wreck your budget on a party. What they’ll value the most, is the fact that everyone made time, and put some thought into her bachelorette.

Planning your own wedding is a great way to save money. You’ve done your research, picked the best vendors. You’ve even done some fantastic DIY. Now you just have to figure out the logistics. On the day of your wedding, how will your projects get set up? What if a vendor is late? If you’re getting married, you’ve already got a lot going on. There just isn’t enough time for you to meet deliveries, answer questions and solve problems.
