How far in advance should I/ my bridesmaids plan the bachelorette?

I think it’s totally fine to start planning now. This way everyone can block off your Bachelorette on their calendars. Airbnbs will be a bit cheaper and more choices will be available the sooner you book. Just be sure to clear the expenses with everyone first and get solid confirmations before you go book it. Be up front with every single person about how costs are being split, especially since it sounds like you want to invite non-bridal party members. Seeing as your bridesmaids have a lot of other weddings to go to, I might suggest being a part of the cost-sharing as well. I know the norm is that the bridesmaids cover everything so the bride doesn’t have to, but I personally felt that since my ladies were already coming together in my honor, paying for a dress, shoes, and hair for my wedding day, that it was only right that I include myself in the cost-splitting.

Definitely a good time to start planning. Congratulations

The earlier the better so ppl can get their money right and plan their 2023 vacations with their jobs.

Start planning now! I was a MOH this year and we booked the AIRBNB for Atlanta/August 2022 in December 2021. You will want to get an idea of your bridesmaids budget, work schedules, family schedules, ect. There is a lot that goes into it and you want to make sure everyone is considered. The more notice and time you give people to save up and coordinate coverage, always the better! Good luck!!!
