While the bride and groom are busy planning the biggest day of their life together, it’s up to you as a faithful member of the bride tribe to pull together a blowout bachelorette party. Now there are some pretty strong traditions when it comes to saying goodbye to the miss years, and maybe an evening a little on the raunchy side is exactly the kind of last fling your bride is expecting. The real key to throwing the best bachelorette ever is pretty simple—throw it for your bride: what she loves, what she doesn’t, what she’s always imagined her bachelorette will be.
