Move over, men. We know boys will be boys, but you often tend to forget what Cindy Lauper said. “Girls just wanna have fun,” she crooned and we still stick to it. Matrimony may tie women down sooner or later but we can take a leaf out of your own book to give men a taste of their own medicines – by throwing a ‘bachelorette party’, the female version of the bachelor party. Women, celebrate your last days of living life on your own terms, because very soon, you will be answerable to a boring man and a veritable mother-in-law! Jokes apart, if you are throwing a bachelorette party, you may want to send out invites so that it is just as special as your wedding. There are chances you may get stuck with what kind of words to use when making invites to the party. You could, of course, combine it with other ceremonies like the Sangeet if you want to waste less money, but you will have to take into account the kind of people you shall be inviting so that you carefully choose the bachelorette party invitation wordings.
Bachelorette Party Invitations
Here are some ways in which you can creatively word your invites to your own bachelorette party:
Formal
For all those women who like to do things the ‘proper’ way, it is best to put their invites in formal wordings. Or, if it is more like a bridal shower or combined with traditional rituals related to marriage like the sangeet and mehandi ceremony, there are chances that women of all age groups, and not only your friends, will be invited. In all such cases it is best to write the invites in formal language. You could put it by saying “You are cordially invited to the bachelorette party and bridal shower/sangeet ceremony of Ms Rachna Mendiratta on… (Date) from…. (Time duration) at (venue and venue address) and give details about the ceremony and its programmes; also give numbers under the RSVP column for them to know where to contact in case of need.
Semi Formal
If the bachelorette party that you are organising will be a family and friends affair with very few people invited, most of whom you share a pretty good rapport with, you could also draft the invite in a semi formal way. You do not have to be totally formal but still cannot be too casual like you are with your friends, since there will still be women of older age groups, even if they are close family. You could use simple yet sophisticated words like “Please join us for a bachelorette party and bridal shower/sangeet ceremony of Ms Rachna Mendiratta on… (Date) from…. (Time duration) at (venue and venue address)” and give details about the ceremony and its programmes; also give numbers under the RSVP column for them to know where to contact in case of need.
Casual
This kind of invite could be for an even smaller gathering, which is more informal with close friends and family and not too many of the older age groups. If such is the kind of party that you are throwing, you could be a little more liberal with the kind of language that you use. “Rachna Mendiratta is finally tying the knot! Join in for pre-wedding bachelorette party and bridal shower/sangeet ceremony on… (Date) from…. (Time duration) at (venue and venue address)” and give details about the ceremony and its programmes; also give numbers under the RSVP column for them to know where to contact in case of need.
Fun
This is the kind of invite you send for an extremely informal gathering of friends with very few people of older age groups. This could be a night out with the girls or any other fun event that have most people of your own age group – your friends or cousins of your own age group – a very young crowd. In such cases you could also use funny quotes like “Rachna Mendiratta is finally tying the noose… oops! Knot,” or also take a leaf out of men’s books to say “Our Dear Friend Rachna Mendiratta is soon going to become a martyr to the ties of matrimony. Join in for pre-wedding bachelorette party and bridal shower/sangeet ceremony on… (date) from…. (time duration) at (venue and venue address) to celebrate her last days of spinsterhood” and give details about the ceremony and its programmes; also give numbers under the RSVP column for them to know where to contact in case of the need.
