While the bride-to-be is busy planning the wedding of her dreams, it’s up to you and the bridal party to create a bachelorette party she won’t forget. It might sound as simple as heading out for a night of dancing and drinking or packing up for a destination spa weekend, but there’s actually quite a bit more to consider. The good news is technology has come to the rescue. With a few clicks on your gadget of choice, you can download apps that’ll have you planning the party like the girl boss you are.

5. Split Expenses: Tilt
Ditch the stress that comes from collecting cash and automate the money gathering to keep funds protected. With Tilt, groups can pool their resources quickly, easily and safely.

When you’re ready to get the party started, simply withdraw the funds and pay away.

6. Cherish the Memories: Eversnap
Instead of each guest later texting their pics to one another or sharing via social media (where ALL can see!), the Eversnap app creates one shared, private album for guests instead. So if all of your photos turned out blurry, it’s likely someone else captured the fun in crystal-clear format for you to still enjoy.
