There's a month until the wedding and it's time for the bachelorette party. Traditionally, the maid of honor plans the party and keeps it a secret from the bride though this is becoming less common. There is no reason at all why the bride can't plan her own party. Whether you are a pampered princess, a cultured chick or a fitness freak, the ideal party is just waiting for you.

Pampered Princess

These are the girls who like to relax. Whilst the world is going crazy around you, you like nothing more than to lie back and have a pedicure. When you get bored of that, you shop, shop, shop! Some say high maintenance, you say in control. You know what you want and you know how to get it. Why should your bachelorette party be any different?

Hire a luxury hotel in New York for two nights and whisk your bridesmaids away. Spend the morning with a champagne breakfast whilst you get ready for the day ahead. Make sure you look your best as you're going to have a busy day! Take a girly lunch at an expensive restaurant- you may not be able to afford more than a Caesar salad- and then get ready to shop your hearts out.

After a tiring day of shopping, settle down in a spa to have lovely soothing treatments from massage to manicure. Bliss! Finish off by heading back to your hotel room for some more champagne and an evening watching soppy films.

Perfect for the bride who wants to chill out before her big day.

Cultured Chick

Whilst your friends rush off to see Beyonce in concert, you're more than happy to spend three hours wandering around an art gallery. You like culture, history and arts. So the traditional bachelorette party is a world away from your ideal haven. For a taste of centuries old culture why not really go for it and skip across the Atlantic to London?

A Roman city, London is just bursting with history and culture. Spend a few days taking in all the sights and wallowing in British traditions. Start your trip by booking into a central hotel and take a walk along the Thames, or even take a boat. You will pass fantastically beautiful architecture such as the Houses of Parliament and Tower Bridge.

Visit the numerous art galleries and museums, which are all free of charge, and do not forget to see a play at Shakespeare's Globe- a reconstruction of the original Elizabethan Globe in which Shakespeare's plays were performed.

If you have time, you could even hop on a train to the seaside and enjoy some fish and chips along the promenade.

Ideal for brides who want to immerse themselves in culture.

Fitness Freak

All this talk of shopping and art is not doing it for you. You want action and adventure. You're the girl who is still down the gym on a Sunday night, pounding it out on the treadmill. If you see a wall, you don't walk around it but climb straight over it. You'll have none of this frilly girly stuff, thank you.

How about bridal boot camp? Forget the heels and skirts, you'll be wearing heavy duty boots and overalls. Trudging through obstacle courses and sweating through exercise you and your friends will be in shape in no time. Or how about a day paint balling? Use your stealth powers to hide from the enemy and defeat them all.

Finish off with a mini-Olympics. Have a prize for the winner and compete against your friends as you complete a series of small challenges.

This is the choice for brides who like to be on the move.

Whatever your tastes, your bachelorette party should be a fun way to celebrate your engagement with your best friends.
