Some couples like to spend their bachelor and bachelorette parties apart, with each of their own friends. But lots of couples share a friend group.

And some couples don't have gendered bridal parties. Maybe the bride has a man of honor. Or maybe the groom has a best woman. If you'd rather spend time together, you can have a joint bachelor bachelorette party, and invite all of your friends.

Whether you’re the bride or a guest, you’ll need a cute outfit for the bachelorette party. If you’re the guest of honor, bachelorette outfits for bride can be anything from a pretty white dress, to a white t-shirt and shorts. Or you could choose a fun outfit, like a floral maxi dress or a colorful romper.

If you’re a guest, check what activities are being planned. Then you can choose bachelorette dresses or outfits based on where you’ll be going and what you’ll be doing.

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.
