Bachelor and bachelorette party checklist — a fun, family-friendly send-off

A send-off party for a friend who is getting married is a fun surprise evening, but the decorations, games, treats and photo corner are spread across a few people. This list collects what a relaxed party everyone can enjoy needs, and with a room code it's clear who has taken what. No sign-up needed.

In short

A bachelor or bachelorette party needs balloons and a banner, party decorations, a crown, veil or sash, matching T-shirts, games, a playlist and speaker, a cake, snacks, drinks with non-alcoholic options, a photo corner backdrop and an instant camera. If it's a surprise, appoint one coordinator and have the group approve the program and the budget beforehand.

18 items go straight into your new room; delete what you don't need, add what's missing. No account needed.

Tips

  • If it's a surprise, appoint one coordinator and keep the guest of honor out of the invitation chat so the plan doesn't leak.

  • Have the group approve the program and the budget beforehand, so everyone knows what they're contributing.

  • Prepare non-alcoholic drink options too; the goal is an evening where everyone feels comfortable.

  • Put the photo corner where there's good light and make one person responsible for photos from the start, so the shots don't get scattered.

How it works

  1. 1. Open your room

    Tap the button and the items land in a fresh room. No account, no email, nothing to install.

  2. 2. Share the code

    Send the room code or the link to the group; everyone's on the same list in seconds.

  3. 3. Finish it together

    Who's buying what shows up instantly; bought items get ticked, so nobody buys the same thing twice.

Frequently asked questions

What do you do at a bachelor or bachelorette party?

Usually friends get together, share a meal, play games, take photos, and give the guest of honor memory cards or a small surprise gift. The program is chosen to suit the guest of honor's taste and keep everyone comfortable.

When is a bachelor or bachelorette party held?

Typically a few weeks before the wedding, before the busy wedding week begins. The date depends on the schedules of the couple and their close friends.

How are the costs of a bachelor or bachelorette party shared?

The most common way is to set a total budget up front and split it among those attending, with the group also covering what's spent on the guest of honor. Keeping the figure and who bought what clear in the group avoids friction.

Can I change the list?

Of course. The ready-made list is just a starting point: delete, add, move items between categories.

Do I need an account?

No. A room code is all it takes — no email, password or signup.

How long is the list kept?

As long as you use it. A list is only deleted after a month without any activity; even opening the room resets the clock.

Can I install it on my phone?

Yes. With the room open, tap "Save Room" to add it to your home screen and open it with one tap.
