The Guest List
It's always wonderful to include two or three friends. Make sure they agree to organize and prepare everything in advance. Initially you need to make a list of people whom you want to invite to the party. It's better to consult all the guests for their availability on the due date and participation in the bachelorette party. Always show some flexibility on date of the party so all guests can participate and enjoy. While making the list you should always keep in mind the bride-to-be. Include all the people whom she would like to be there, even if they are not your favorite.
The prospective In-Laws
The invitation must also include some prominent in laws. However make sure not to over do it. The bride should be the key focus, and she should be able to enjoy herself without being self-conscious.
D-List

Location
The location has to be easily access for everyone. It's best to ask the bride for the location of the bachelorette party.

It is a good idea to arrange the party in the same city.
The budget
