Sure, as long as you’ve gathered great friends to celebrate the bride, she’s bound to have a great evening. However, we’ve compiled a list of three places to avoid planning a bachelorette party to ensure the celebration is remembered for the right reasons.

1. Crowded Concert: Hosting a bachelorette party at a crowded concert may sound like a good idea if you all love the same music, but this isn’t the place to spend an evening celebrating the bride-to-be. This evening is supposed to be all about her and that’s impossible when the musician is the center of attention. It will be too loud to carry on a conversation and socialize. After you factor in the over-priced food and drinks, you can see that this is not the best place for a bachelorette celebration.

2. Mommy & Me: We have a “no kids allowed” rule for all bachelorette parties. This night is about the bride-to-be and it’s not an appropriate occasion for little ones. Spring for a babysitter and enjoy some grown-up time with the ladies. Hosting a party at home? Send the kids to Grandma’s house and send your husband out with the guys. Whether you’re planning a girls’ night in or out, make sure that everyone comes with the same intention, to have a fun and carefree evening in the bride-to-be’s honor!

3. Sleazy Nightclub: Be sure to do your homework before hosting a bachelorette party at a club. Find out how much they charge for cover and the average drink prices. Ask if you can reserve a table and if they have an automatic gratuity charge for a party of your size. Search consumer review websites to find out the club’s reputation. If the club is known to overcharge customers or charge an exorbitant cover fee, steer clear and find another venue.

Make sure that you keep the bride’s personality in mind when planning her bachelorette bash. This is her special evening, so plan it to suit her tastes, not your own.
