3 months before: confirm the date
Ask the bride-to-be about her availability. Avoid the month before the wedding (too stressful). Ideal: 4 to 8 weeks before the wedding.
2.5 months before: choose theme and budget
Discreetly poll guests to confirm average budget. Avoid making anyone uncomfortable. Count $100-250 per guest for Montreal (varies by theme).
2 months before: send invitations
Create a private group (WhatsApp, Messenger). Digital invitations (Paperless Post, Canva) for an eco-friendly and trendy touch.
6 weeks before: book activities
Trendy restaurants, cocktail brunches, spas — these get booked early in Montreal, especially in summer and autumn.
3 weeks before: order decorations and gifts
Balloons, banners, accessories, favors for guests. Order online to avoid last-minute stress.
1 week before: confirm and coordinate
Reminder to all guests, confirmation of reservations, sharing the day's schedule in the group.

❓ FAQ
How long should a bachelorette party last?
The classic format: a full day (10 am-11 pm) with brunch, activity, and dinner. Intensive format: a weekend (Friday evening to Sunday). Chill format: an afternoon (2 pm-7 pm).
Who pays for the bride-to-be?
Golden rule: the bride pays nothing. Costs are split among the guests (her share included). If some guests have a small budget, adjust so as not to inconvenience anyone.
How many guests for a bachelorette party in Montreal?
Ideal: 6 to 12 guests. Fewer is intimate but less festive. More is very difficult to manage (reservations, transport, dynamics).
Should activities be planned for non-drinking guests?
Absolutely. Plan activities that don't revolve around alcohol: spa, creative workshop, brunch, photoshoot. No one should feel excluded.
How to surprise the bride-to-be?
The best surprises: unexpected activity (workshop, secret spa), surprise guest (cousin from another city), or a memory book with messages from guests. Avoid embarrassing public surprises.
🌸 In summary
An unforgettable bachelorette party in Montreal is about: a coherent theme, planning in advance, activities that suit the bride, and small touches that make everything special.
