Brides maid party help

My brides maids are on a very wide age scale, 13, 16, 18, 22, & 26. I’m not really sure what to do for a brides maid party?? I’d love to have a sleep over theme or something but, the ages range so much!


I have a relationship with each of them but obviously all put together it may be a “weirdish” vibe, especially one of my friends not knowing anyone else other than me.
Overall what are some good suggestions so no one feels left out or it’s not awkward Smiley smile)

    I'm not quite sure what you mean by a bridesmaid party?

    Is that a tradition in your area?

    If you mean bachelorette party, that is the for the BMs to plan, not you.

    If you just mean a thank you, some people have a little luncheon to give out gifts.

    I’ve seen people who have a wide array of ages like that just do it where certain activities are for everyone and then late at night is when they do the more adult stuff like bars and clubs

    I'm not sure what exactly you mean. You don't plan the bachelorette party, if that's what you're talking about. A thank you event normally takes the form of a brunch or luncheon that isn't an overnight or really as big of a deal. Can you explain what you mean?

    I'm not 100% sure of what you mean by a bridesmaid party, but if you are actually referring to your bachelorette party then that is not up to the bride to plan. Your bridesmaids should be handling planning your bachelorette party. Whether they all know one another shouldn't matter. My husband's best man only knew my husband and my brother-in-law. He had never met the other groomsmen or groomswoman. As for the age difference, I would do something all of you guys can do. Some of my bridesmaids/bride's man were under 21 so we went to dinner then bowling. I also don't drink so it was no big deal to me that I didn't have a wild crazy night out partying and drinking.

    I am with everyone else assuming you mean your bachelorette party.

    I gave my MOH plenty of suggestions for what type of party I wanted so I don't think it's wrong for you to have a hand in planning your bach party (but the etiquette is that the bridesmaids plan this FOR you, you don't plan it).

    I think for those age ranges, you could have the younger ones join you for breakfast and maybe mani/pedis? And then if you are over 21 and want to drink alcohol, the older ones could stay and you guys can get a hotel room or airbnb and go out at night.

    That way you've included everyone but the young ones only participated in age appropriate stuff.
