What You Need To Know First

- It’s a time to unwind and have a good time while bonding with your loved ones.

- Hosting it 1-3 weeks before the wedding is ideal. That being said, amazing food, drinks, music, and games make these events joyous.
What Pre Marriage Parties Entail?
Much like any casual get-together with a unique name, a pre-marriage party is an informal event that occurs a day or so before saying ‘I do’ while having fun on the actual wedding day. It is more or less an attended event for close family and friends of the bride and groom.
Unlike traditional bachelor or bachelorette parties, this event is more inclusive and usually centers on spending time together rather than simply partying. Consider it a way to elevate the start of your wedding celebrations.
Reasons Why You Should Have A Pre Marriage Party
A pre marriage party assists everyone in getting in the mood for the celebration ahead. It enables both sides of friends and family to meet before the wedding and gives room for gaiety and bonding.
A pre marriage party is good for:
- A respite from the rigorous business of wedding planning
- A platform to express gratitude towards loved ones
- Recall cherished moments before the big event
- A humorous activity to include those who might not make it to the wedding

A Complete Guide to Planning a Pre-Marriage Party
Set Mid Event Goals Prior: “A Week Before The Event”
1. Choose the Day
To avoid stress and chaos during the week of the wedding, set the pre-party date for a week before the wedding.
2. Build the Agenda
Make sure to fit in a range of activities. Things like games, lighthearted couple quizzes, karaoke, and a photo booth would liven things up. Highlighting things that everyone formative would bring sunshine to the party, such as family members, friends, and those who came from afar.
3. Pick a Place
Allows home, rooftops, street sidewalks, villa, or restaurants where you invite your friends to hold your jaw open for you.
4. Send Invites
When the guest list is finalized, aim to impress the potential invitees by offering proper invites. Cards would do great, but something more vivid and out of the box, such as digital invites printed on business cards.
5. Food and Drinks
Creativity applied in drinks, one serving needs to be simple and spaced out. The same goes for the food. Finger foods and mini buffets are always easy to scrape together for the show.
6. Don’t Forget The Music
The party without music or any sort of beats going through the air or sound would have excuse siblings guaranteeing they, such as me, end it to an are boring. You and your family.
7. Time For Final Touches
When the food has been set for everyone, reminders to anyone will not be allowed to dart and tear it from each side to please don’t cut, so let loose of whatever comes to your mind.
Real-Life Experience
During a recent event we organized in Malaga, the couple threw their pre marriage party at a charming countryside villa. Friends flew in early to join the fun. There was a private chef, a flamenco guitarist, and even a surprise slideshow featuring their love story. The joy, sentimental tears, and dancing under the stars will forever stay in my memory. It reminded us of the importance of these moments.
What Not To Do
While organizing your pre-marriage party, try to avoid:
- Procrastination
- Inviting too many guests (keep it personal)
- Overspending on unimportant items
- Ignoring dietary requirements or musical preferences
