How many people to invite to my bachelorette?

If you only have two DD's, figure out how many people they can transport and limit it to that. Or find an alternative form of transportation and use that instead.

I would ask your MOH how many people and if there's a limit. Things like where people are staying and where you want to go out to eat all factor in. I think the largest bach party I went to had 15 people, and it was HUGE. We were in Chicago though so we used public transportation. So it's up to you.

My BM had her Bach party in August in tenn (about a 5 hour drive) on a house boat. She invited 20 girls and was shocked when all but one said yes. It was a fun time but that was a lot of girls! I'd plan on inviting only the amount you can absolutely accommodate. Who knows, they may all say "heck yeah!" and attend.

I invited every young woman on my guest list who I thought would enjoy it. I knew most wouldn't be able to come but I wanted them all to feel included. I didn't want people to talk about it at the wedding and someone to feel left out. If there are more people, that's more people to split the cost. GIve your MOH your dream list with asteriks by those she can take off if she has a problem with the size. I invited probably 20 to vegas and 8 came.

My MOH just asked me for a list also. We are going to our families beach cabin on a little island and since we only have 2 bedrooms and 2 hide-a-beds I need to think about how many we can really hold. Some floor room, but I don't want it to be hectic or too expensive to accommodate.

Thanks so much!!! My MOH is awesome but shes not really money conscious. She keeps talking about booking the W Hotel and doing pole dancing lessons and having strippers and a spa day and going clubbing all night. Sounds fun but hoping the rest of my girls reel her in a little. If I give her my dream list and a lot can go then maybe we can get some better group rates!

I am keeping mine with just my bridal party. Sometimes if it gets too big it gets hard to plan and keep everyone on schedule. I think that the suggestion of seeing how many people the two DD's can drive is super smart. The last thing you want to do is have a bunch of transportation issues once you get there and not be able to have fun!

I went with my mom, MOH, and one BM, the other BM could not afford to go. I really couldn't imagine going with that many people, I personally like smaller groups because it's less drama (there was too much already) but hey if they can all afford to go and want to go then good for you! I may be a little jealous that you have so many girl friends.

1st scratch your mom and aunts off this no DD need. Get a party bus and your girls and turn up. I'm sorry but mom and bach parties just weird to. I don't want my mother any where near my bach. party.

I'm going away for a beach weekend and inviting about 15 people. Likely not all of them will be able to come, but I am expecting most of them to come (I have 8 BM so that's a big chunk of the guest list).

I went to a huge bachelorette party with about the same amount people, 20 or so. It was a LOT of fun, but you definitely want to get the travel sorted out.

Can you rent a party bus of some sort? Is it just for one night? I don't know how it is in LA, but our party bus parked nearby so whenever we were ready to go to the next bar/club, they were ready to go! The bus driver was on top of it too. He had one of those baseball counters to make sure all the girls were accounted for! I think that would be much easier than having your poor mother and aunt driving you around (even though they offered)!

Yes, agree with Julia. If I could change it I wouldn't have invited my mom even though she is my Best Friend. I just wasn't used to seeing her in a party stage and it was very uncomfortable for me. She got super flirty with guys when she's a very married woman and she got sick several times on the way home (the only). Everyone at the club thought she was so cool and so did one of my BMs and it just really took the spotlight off of me. It created a lot of awkward tension and even though we made up before we went home, I still cringe whenever I think of my bachelorette party.

We are going to Atlantic City for 2 nights, just me and my 4 BMs.

It's not like that with my mom. She's my best friend. Some people might think that's strange or uncomfortable...but to each their own. I just have that kind of relationship with my mom. It was never part of the question of whether or not she would be there. Of course she would be there celebrating with me...she just offered to be sober driver too. We do this all the time. It's not uncomfortable or weird for me.
