Budgets for parties just aren’t what they used to be. These days, your bachelorette party planning has to consider a smaller budget. So what do you do to save money, without going cheap?

It doesn’t matter how small your budget is, there is no reason you need to go cheap with throwing a bachelorette party. You can also pull it off so that you save money, but don’t look like you were trying to save money.

First things first, throwing a party in a public location is probably your most expensive option. Doing it at someone’s house will definitely save you money, and you can still do most of the things you would have done in a public setting. this means that your idea for a gambling trip to Vegas is out.

Your budget is best served by staying in. Entertainment and alcohol soak up a lot of money. Martinis and other hard liquor drinks will run you $8 a piece (of course, it all depends on the city you’re partying in), and up. A good money saving idea (if you absolutely must go out) is to drink a lot before you even go out (but remember to get yourself a designated driver).

Purchase alcohol and get yourself a bartending book. It is easy enough for you and your friends to make the same drinks as you can get at a bar – and at a fraction of the cost. You can even see if one of your male friends would be willing to tend bar for your party.

For entertainment, you’ll want to skip the strippers. It’s not only the cost of hiring one, but the endless dollar bills you’ll be stuffing down his pants. If you really want a stripper/dancer, there is an alternative. You could see if one of your male friends (maybe the bartender you convinced to help at your party) would be willing to dance for you.

It doesn’t have to be someone with rock-hard abs, either. Have you ever seen the episode of Friends where Danny Devito was the stripper for Phoebe’s bachelorette party? Party of the fun can be cheering for a guy who isn’t embarrassed by his lack of physical prowess.

For other entertainment, there are numerous games you can play. The Cherry Game, Bridal Pictionary, Pin The Macho On The Man (I bet you can guess what the macho is), Bridal Shower Bingo, Would You Rather, and Guess What’s In The Bag are just a few ideas to get you started.

Bachelorette party planning on a budget is not difficult. Keep in mind that staying home (public places will kill your budget) is your biggest opportunity to save money, but you won’t have any less fun. The same drinks are available, as well as entertainment, so your party doesn’t have to suffer.
