Over the past 10 years, I can’t count the amount of times I’ve said the phrase “I can’t WAIT for my friends to start getting married!” Now I’m in my mid-20s, and would ya look at that, all my friends are starting to get married! Needless to say..., I was excited. However, when my cousin asked me to be her Maid of Honor, I was absolutely thrilled!
And then the reality set in. What does a Maid of Honor actually do? After hours of research and scouring the internet, I understood that I needed to throw an amazing bachelorette party, but felt totally overwhelmed at where to even start with this. Enter: Ritual -- AKA the Bachelor/Bachelorette Party Planning company that would save my butt.
The Lead Planner, Madeline -- or as I like to call her, Party Planner Extraordinaire to the Stars -- was incredibly helpful, professional, receptive, and kind. Madeline helped me start at the beginning and melt all of the previous stress away! She gave me advice on what’s typically expected at a Bachelorette party, but didn’t push any traditions that didn’t seem to fit. She was wonderful at listening to me describe the bride, was able to take that information and run -- and came up with three amazing itineraries (chock-full of activities that are truly fun for everyone) for the locations we were considering. She was so detail-oriented, catching things I wouldn’t have even thought about until it was too late! Seriously, she was (and still is) a godsend.
Ritual is a wonderful organization that can help you make that dream Bachelor/Bachelorette party come TRUE! If you are someone who hates the logistics of planning, is a clueless first time Maid of Honor (like I was), or just wants to take the stress out of what is supposed to be an amazing time -- look no further. Ritual is for you. What are you waiting for?!
