Bride Squad ideas and arithmetic
Four pieces about the sums rather than the theme: what eight people need, what is inside a sash pack, what survives a flight, and where the favour budget goes.
Where a piece quotes a federal text, that text is linked in full on how we update the catalogue.

What eight people need for a bachelorette weekend
One list, in the order the things get bought, with the count beside each line. The pieces that need a size from every person come first, because those are the ones that hold the whole order up.
-
What is in a sash pack, and how many you need
A photograph of seven satin bands says almost nothing about what arrives. One says BRIDE and six say something else, or all twelve say the same thing, and only one of those leaves the bride visible in a bar.
-
What survives a flight, and what to leave at home
Glass and hold luggage are the whole problem. Everything else on this list packs flat, weighs nothing and arrives in one piece, which is why a weekend that involves a plane looks different from one that involves a car.
-
Where the favour budget goes, and where it gets wasted
Half of what goes in a welcome bag is used up by Sunday and half of it travels home. Deciding which half you are buying before you spend is the whole of this.
The weekend list
Every pack count, size and colour in the Bride Squad catalogue sits behind this button, with the figures from our last update against each one.
- One sash for the bride, one each for the squad
- Shirts sized and asked for six weeks out
- Drinkware counted per person, plus two
- Wall pieces counted once, for the room
