Planning your pre-wedding parties and wondering if you need to go your separate ways for a bachelor and bachelorette bash?


Let’s talk about joint Bach parties—also known as “sten parties” (yep, that’s a thing now). More and more couples are ditching the tradition of separate celebrations and throwing one epic, combined weekend with all their favorite people.


And honestly? We’re here for it.


Why More Couples Are Going Joint


There’s something super fun—and let’s be real, efficient—about combining your celebrations.


·  You're already one big friend group

·  It's way less stress (and less drama)

·  It's budget-friendly

·  You get to make it yours


Party Theme Ideas You’ll Both Love


Let’s be honest, the theme sets the tone. Here are some favorites that work perfectly for a combined celebration:

  • Camp Bach – Cozy cabins, bonfires, s’mores, and flannel everything.

  • Tropic Like It’s Hot – Pool parties, fruity drinks, and neon swimwear.

  • Back to the 90s – Bucket hats, boy band playlists, and major nostalgia.

  • Sip, Sip, Hooray – Wineries, breweries, or boozy brunch crawls.

  • Glamp & Get Hitched – Luxe tents, fairy lights, and cozy outdoor glam.


Pick one that fits your vibe—or blend a few for a whole weekend of themed fun!


Where to Go?


Need inspo for where to throw this epic bash? Here are a few cities that are made for group adventures:

  • Nashville, TN – Honky-tonks, live music, and endless energy.

  • Austin, TX – Tacos, music, river floats, and rooftop bars.

  • Lake Tahoe, CA/NV – Boat days, hikes, and hot tubs at night.

  • Charleston, SC – Southern charm, Instagrammable streets, and amazing food.

  • Miami, FL – Sun, sand, and unforgettable nightlife.


Tips for Planning Your Trip


Even the most casual party needs a little strategy.


1. Talk About the Vibe Early

2. Balance Group Time & Solo Moments

3. Matching Outfits? Optional, But Fun


Is a Joint Party Right for You?


The truth? It’s not for everyone. If you and your partner have very different party styles or your crews don’t mix well, separate parties might be the better move—and that’s totally okay.

But if you love the idea of celebrating together with the people you love most, a joint party could be exactly what you didn’t know you needed.


At the end of the day, your pre-wedding party should be just as personal and fun as your actual wedding. If celebrating together feels right for you, go for it!
