This post is all about bachelorette party etiquette for any of you who need some advice about how to plan a bachelor or bachelorette party. Don't be #thatbach
It's easy to get carried away when planning an epic vacay, especially a bachelorette party where some level of debauchery is bound to go down. But keep in mind not everyone in the crew may be as "loose" as you...
You should always practice proper "bachelor-etiquette" AKA Bachelorette Party Etiquette throughout the planning process to ensure that everyone has a good time and nobody feels uncomfortable. Oh yeah- and try to respect us locals too...

CHARLESTON BACHELORETTE PARTY PLANNING 101
Let’s get started by answering a few questions that will be crucial factors when it comes to planning your Charleston, SC Bachelorette Party. I recommend creating a private Facebook group and inviting all of the members of the #BrideSquad to join so you can all brainstorm and coordinate together.
When are you coming to Charleston?
The best time of year to come to Charleston is either the Spring, (April-Juneish) or the Fall (September-Novemberish)
- Summer in Charleston is unbearably hawt'... The daily 90-100+ degrees temperature is humid, muggy, and buggy, and it will stay that way alllllll day.
- Picture yourself strutting down upper King Street, not glistening- dripping in sweat, sunglasses fogged up, with frizzy hair matted to the back of your neck.
- Not to mention all of the other tourists who flock to Charleston in the peak summer months, taking up all of the limited space in every restaurant and bar in the Charleston area.
- Spring and Fall are beautiful, less crowded, and the water is a “swimmable” temperature from April - October, so you can still beach it and have some fun in the sun!
What is everyone’s Budget?
Obviously, this is a huge factor to take into consideration. Whether you’re ballin’, or ballin’ on a budget- Charleston has plenty of low-cost options to accommodate you and your crew!
What are your #squadgoals?
Or more importantly- what are the preferences of the Boss Bride? Remember- this is all about the bride-to-be, so take that into account when planning the activities and the overall level of debauchery that will be appropriate for this particular bride's final fiesta.
- Is she more of a boujee babe, or a boozy babe?
- Is she trying to max and relax, or get “bach shit crazy!?”
- For a more laid back or low key crew, you’re probably better off staying at one of the Charleston, SC beaches- but if you’re in it to win it- the best nightlife is downtown.
- Fortunately, Charleston is a relatively small town that is easy to get around, everything is just a quick Uber ride away.
