Thinking of Going Co-Ed? 5 Reasons Couples Choose Joint Bach Parties
Traditionally, the bride and groom head off in separate directions for their “last fling before the ring.” But more and more couples are breaking traditions and combining forces.
Enter: the joint bachelor + bachelorette party. Also known as co-ed bach weekends or “bach-fests.”
Whether it’s a shared squad of friends, a destination getaway, or just a couple who wants to party together, co-ed celebrations are definitely on the rise—and we’re all for it.
🚀 Why Are Co-Ed Bach Parties Trending?
Shared Friend Groups: Many couples already hang out with the same people. Instead of splitting the crew, why not turn it into one big celebration?
Inclusive Vibes: Joint parties are perfect for mixed-gender friend groups, LGBTQ+ couples, or anyone who doesn’t vibe with the traditional gendered party format.
Budget-Friendly: Combining your party means shared costs for rentals, activities, and travel—plus fewer weekends blocked off for wedding events.
Destination Efficiency: Doing a destination trip? One celebration means one set of flights, lodging, and planning.
Double the Fun: Let’s be honest—when everyone’s together, the energy is unmatched. More people = more fun, more memories, more party.
💡 Co-Ed Party Planning Tips
Choose a vibe that fits both sides. Pool party? Cabin weekend? Bar crawl? Make sure it reflects both personalities.
Make room for solo time. Even during a joint trip, consider splitting up for a spa day or golf outing.
Balance the guest list. Make sure everyone knows each other—or include mixers or icebreakers to warm things up.
Go big on activities. Think boat parties, beach games, cooking classes, or dance nights—fun for all genders.
Set expectations. Communicate early about budget, accommodations, and vibe so everyone’s aligned.
💌 Final Thoughts
There’s no rule that says your bachelor or bachelorette party has to be separate. If you and your partner love the same things and share a squad, a co-ed party could be the most fun (and most you) choice yet.
