Planning for the Planner

7 Tips for the One in Charge of the Bach Weekend

By Confetti & Coast

So… you’re the one who stepped up (or got voluntold) to plan the ultimate bachelorx weekend? First of all — you’re the real MVP. You’re juggling guest lists, Venmo requests, and the never-ending group chat while trying to make it the best weekend ever. We see you 👏

Whether you're planning for your bestie, sibling, or your chosen crew, here’s how to keep the vibes high, stress low, and pull off an unforgettable Charleston celebration:

1️⃣ Pick a Date and Stick to It

Getting six or more schedules to align is no small feat. Send out 2–3 solid date options, let the group vote, and lock it in. Don’t wait for perfection — just get it on the calendar and go from there.

2️⃣ Don’t Overplan

Yes, Charleston is packed with amazing spots, activities, and photo ops. But trust us — not every minute needs to be accounted for. Leave room for breathing, bonding, and spontaneous fun. Build in buffer time and watch the magic unfold.

3️⃣ Set the Budget Tone Early

Bougie or budget? Or somewhere in between? Start the money conversation early so there are no surprises down the line. It’s way easier to get everyone’s buy-in before you book that boat charter or reserve VIP bottle service.

4️⃣ Choose the Right Home Base

Location matters! Look for a comfortable, central spot with enough beds and bathrooms for the group. Bonus points for outdoor space (hello, porch cocktails and golden-hour pics ✨).

5️⃣ Make Decisions with Confidence

Too many opinions flying around? Step up and lead. It’s okay to say “This is what we’re doing!” with love. You’re not being bossy — you’re creating a stress-free, unforgettable experience for the crew.

6️⃣ Use Checklists (or Let Us Help!)
