The theme
Before you get planning, it is important to choose a theme that the bride is going to love. You know your bestie pretty well, so if she isn’t one for nightclubs and strippers opt for a theme better suited to her personality. Some fun ideas include a pampering night and slumber party, a painting class or even a cocktail masterclass.

The guest list
Instead of guessing who she would like to come, enlist some help from her family, other friends and partner or even ask the bride herself who she would like to have invited. This ensures there is no post invite awkwardness!

Money, honey
Perhaps money isn’t an issue for you, and you can’t wait to spoil the bride-to-be on her big day, but not everyone can. Before sending people bills, be understanding of the fact that the bride’s family and bridesmaids are most probably already forking out lots of money, so try to be sensitive to people’s budgets.
Plan ahead
Make sure everyone can make it by planning and sending out save the dates months in advance. This is also a great way to make some sneaky savings as lots of venues will offer early bird discounts – win, win!

Ride in style
We have all been in a situation where 5 different Ubers’ or Taxi’s have had to be booked so everyone can get somewhere. Plan ahead and avoid the drama and book a party bus or limousine for the journey.

Get your game on
Nothing breaks the ice better than a few fun games. Ideas include Q&A’s about the couple, but remember there may be Grandma’s, Aunts and other family members around so try to keep it PG!
