First, there are no set rules for bachelorette party planning. There are, however, several key elements that make a bachelorette party a success. The first step is to determine the expectations of the bride. Does she want to stay in? Does she want to invite twenty girls, or only six? Does she have a restaurant she wants to visit, a concert she'd like to go to, or would she prefer an at home gathering?
Knowing the wishes of the bride is a key step to begin your planning. If you have determined that the bride wants a less wild, simpler bachelorette party, you have many options to make sure it is still memorable. First, be sure to include the right guests - girls that the bride feels closest to. Next, think about a theme for your party. Does the bachelorette love chocolate? Maybe you can have a chocolate party with chocolate fountains and goodies, and gift bags for all the guests that are a rich, brown color, filled with chocolate gifts.
Or, try a theme centered on the groom, such as a "girly" football party for a girl who is marrying a huge football fan. This party can include all the guests wearing football gear like jerseys and the food being a tailgate style. No matter what theme you choose, make sure that it fits the bride, and your bachelorette party will be more successful.
As for presents for the bride, at a bachelorette party they are optional. It is often more fun to have gag gifts, which are usually very inexpensive. Buy her a tawdry romance novel. Give her a bottle of massage oil. These are items that are bachelorette party appropriate but won't break the bank.
As for party favors, those too can be inexpensive, like the large lollipop rings shaped like diamond rings. Or, nail polish for each girl to use when giving herself a pedicure and manicure during the course of the evening. These items are girl, fun, and very cheap as they can be bought at any discount store.
Whatever you do for your bachelorette party, remember that the key to a great party is the love you put into it and the friends you have gathered.
The web is flooded with work at home ideas, some legitimate and some not as much. Everyone is tempted to try a work at home idea at some point of their lives. Whether it's when you've had a new baby, moved to a new town, had a changed in marital status, or just bored with your regular day job and pesky co-workers. However, not all work at home ideas are as lucrative as they are made out to be.
Your USP
The first most important thing when figuring out which work at home idea is good for you is to figure out your Unique Selling Proposition also known as USP. Simply put, you have to know what your strengths are. Are you good at math, is language your forte, or are you more of a whiz kid as far as computers are concerned? The biggest mistake people make when looking for work at home ideas is not evaluating their abilities correctly.
They either undervalue themselves by thinking I can't do anything or they are too overconfident and feel they can strike gold overnight. Be your own honest critic and try a work at home idea on the side before you put all your eggs into that one basket. If you have always had a passion for making jewelry, start wearing a few of your best creations, and see if you receive any compliments. If people around you ask where you got those stunning earrings from, don't shy away from taking credit - rather offer to make similar ones for that friend.
Take great pictures of your creations and start compiling them onto a simple website or brochure. However don't spend your savings on too much overhead, before you actually get some orders. Advertising is obviously necessary but perhaps you could do it for free or for very low costs or by word of mouth. You could find offers for free business cards on the internet or you could perhaps give your necklaces or rings for free to people who pay you compliments. You can even save money by giving your creations as gifts during the holiday season and seeing the type of response they bring about.
In Home Sales
If you can't really pinpoint an artistic strength or talent, there are other work at home ideas that might prove fruitful. A relatively safer work-at-home opportunity usually targeted at women are in home sales of products like Avon or Mary Kay cosmetics, food storage products like Tupperware and other things like books, clothes and even toys. These companies usually have tried and tested business models and provide comprehensive training to their new sales reps. Some companies have a minimum inventory requirement or starter fee, while others require you to buy an introductory kit.
