As bachelorette weekends grow increasingly elaborate, figuring out how to finance them becomes a crucial yet often overlooked aspect of the celebration. You may look to creating a separate Venmo account to crowdsource for the bride’s drinks over the weekend. Need to make a second Venmo account for your Bachelorette Party but already have your phone number tied to your personal Venmo account? No worries! There are several ways you can figure this out. Follow the easy steps below and you will be on your way to free drinks in no time!
The Necessary Steps to Set up a Bachelorette Venmo:
If you already have the Venmo app with your phone number tied to a personal account:
1. Remove your phone number from the first venmo user account, then use it to create your second account.
2. Then add it back to the first account. You can use the same number on multiple accounts, but you can not open a new account with a number already associated.
Second option for setting up a Separate Venmo Account for Bachelorette weekend:
If one of the group of friends or family members attending your bachelorette weekend don’t already have a venmo, you could have them set it use for the weekend. You could also set up a Zelle or Ca$h App account if you don’t have one of those.
Another idea is for the bride to just change her personal venmo account to a fun bachelorette venmo handle for the week.
Looking for more ways to get drinks purchased for the bachelorette?
- Dress the Part: Have the bachelorette wear something that clearly identifies her as the bachelorette, such as a sash, tiara, or special outfit.
- Choose the Right Venue: Pick a venue that’s known for bachelorette parties or has a lively atmosphere where people are likely to join in the celebration.
- Get the Attention: Once at the venue, make sure the bachelorette is visible and stands out from the crowd. Encourage her to mingle and interact with other patrons.
- Announce the Occasion: Let people know why you’re celebrating. Mention it to the bartender or other patrons, and they may be more inclined to join in the festivities and buy drinks.
- Use Social Media: Consider posting about the bachelorette party on social media platforms and using relevant hashtags. You may attract attention from others in the area who want to join in the celebration. Use something like “_____ last fling! The bridesmaids posted it to our social media accounts.”
- QR Code: Don’t forget to get QR codes printed to pass out at the bars or have someone place on the back of their car! You can even use cute templates to laminate the code and wear it as pins while you are out and about for the weekend.
