Do the bride and groom share a lot of the same friends? Would they rather have everyone spend time together instead of separating the girls and boys? Hold a coed party!
Many couples are going the combo bachelor/bachelorette party route, and they’re having a great time. Here are some suggestions for fun themes/activities you can do at your coed party.
Buy a block of seats at a baseball game or other sporting event and cheer on the team together! The ladies can wear matching Team Bride Tanks tops! It would be a perfect way for the ladies in the group to stand out. Or hold a Wedding Olympics were the guys and girls compete for the gold (or shots).
Set up a room with a bunch of card games and have a couple friends volunteer to be dealers for the night. Encourage everyone to dress up, and have chips and prizes on hand for the winners! Serve a signature martini or other cocktails. Just remember to make them shaken, not stirred.
Find some old, tacky dresses and suits at a thrift store, and go paintballing in them! Just make sure you’re a couple weeks away from the wedding so any potential bruises can heal. Hopefully you can find a photographer to come and take action shots! You're not going to want to miss these fun pictures!
Create a scavenger hunt and then compete: Boys vs. Girls! Set a time to meet back up at a bar or restaurant to compare scores and stories, and to crown a winner. Give everyone buttons or temporary tattoos to wear throughout the day. You can use our bachelorette scavenger hunt printable as a starting base. Just switch the “bride” and “groom” mentions around for the boys’ team!
