Sure, you want to get your besties together before the wedding to have one final girls’ blowout – but how can you throw a great bachelorette party without breaking the bank? Birkat Elyon helps smart couples save money with their wide selection of beautiful cubic zirconia rings; here are tips for creating an affordable bachelorette party.
SET A BUDGET
Expenses for the bachelorette party are split among the bridesmaids, so have a conversation about what would be an appropriate budget and how much each is willing/able to contribute. If that’s a tricky conversation, do an anonymous survey
DIY DECORATIONS
Put more of your budget towards food, beverages, and fun. There are plenty of sources online to inspire fun DIY décor for bachelorette parties. Hit dollar stores and thrift shops for things that can be transformed into decorations.
THE RIGHT VENUE
Yes, “destination” bachelorette parties are a thing, but that may cost more money than your posse wants to spend. See if anyone has a vacation home you can borrow or find an Air BnB for your party weekend. If it has a pool or a hot tub, even better! It’s a lot more fun than being separated by hotel rooms.
AFFORDABLE FOOD AND DRINK
If you’re staying at a house, save money by stocking up on snacks, and cooking breakfasts and lunches at home. Set up a bar, and maybe enlist another friend to play bartender during the weekend.
FUN, AFFORDABLE ACTIVITIES
Game nights (with wedding themed-games), karaoke, and even a slumber party where you watch rom-coms and give each other makeovers are perennial favorites. Most importantly, make sure there’s downtime to relax and connect with each other.
A memorable bachelorette party is really about good friends celebrating a special time together. You can throw a great one without going into hock. And with their gorgeous selection of cubic zirconia rings and cubic zirconia jewelry, Birkat Elyon is proof that great style doesn’t have to cost a fortune, either.
