Bachelorette Party Planning Preferences Survey

Gathers the bridal party's real preferences on budget, activities, destination, and trip length before you lock in plans — with an AI follow-up that surfaces the tradeoffs attendees would actually accept when priorities collide (like budget vs. the bride's dream activity).

Q01
Message

Hi! We're planning the bachelorette celebration and want it to be something everyone actually enjoys (and can afford). This takes about 5 minutes — your honest answers help us plan something great.

Q02
Multiple ChoiceRequired

What trip length feels realistic for you?

  • A single evening/day (no overnight)
  • One night away
  • A long weekend (2-3 nights)
  • 4+ nights
Q03
Multiple ChoiceRequired

What kind of destination sounds most appealing for the celebration?

  • Local — stay in our home city
  • Beach or lake getaway
  • Big city trip (nightlife, shopping)
  • Cabin, ranch, or countryside retreat
  • Wine country or culinary destination
  • International trip
Q04
Point AllocationRequired

Imagine you have 100 points to divide across the trip's budget. Split them based on what matters most to you personally, not what you think it will cost.

  • Lodging
  • Activities/experiences
  • Food & drink
  • Decor, favors & photos
  • Transportation
Allocate 100 points
Q05

Q06
Opinion ScaleRequired

How important is it that the plan centers on what the bride specifically wants, even if it's not everyone's first choice?

Scale: 17
Min:Not important at allMax:Extremely important
Q07
Rating Scale

How excited are you about a themed weekend (matching outfits, decor, a specific vibe like 'disco' or 'western')?

Range: 15
Min:Not my thingMax:Love it
Q08
Price Sensitivity (Van Westendorp)Required

Thinking about your total out-of-pocket cost for the whole trip (lodging, activities, travel):

  • At what total cost per person would you start to worry the trip is too bare-bones or low quality?
  • At what total cost per person would you consider this trip a great deal?
  • At what total cost per person would you start to think this is getting expensive, but you'd still go?
  • At what total cost per person would it be too expensive for you to attend at all?
Q09
MatrixRequired

How important is each of the following to your enjoyment of the trip?

5 rows × 5 columns
  • Keeping parts of the plan a surprise for the bride
  • Staying within a budget everyone can afford
  • Choosing activities that everyone can physically join
  • Having downtime instead of a packed schedule
  • Getting good photos/memories from the trip
Columns: Not important · Slightly important · Moderately important · Very important · Extremely important
Q10
AI Interview

Dig into what this person would actually be willing to compromise on if the group can't afford or agree on their top-ranked activity or budget split. Anchor on their specific budget allocation and best/worst activity picks, and ask what a 'good enough' version of the trip would look like for them. If they flagged the trip as expensive or said an activity choice was a dealbreaker, probe what specifically would make them say no to attending.

Q11
Short Text

Any dietary restrictions, allergies, mobility needs, or other accommodations we should plan around?

Q12
Multiple Choice

How would you describe your relationship to the bride?

  • Bridesmaid/maid of honor
  • Close friend
  • Family member
  • Coworker
  • Other
  • Prefer not to say
Q13
Message

Thanks so much for sharing your honest input! We'll use these answers (plus the follow-up conversation) to put together a plan that works for the group and the bride. Details on dates and cost will follow soon.

What’s included

  • AI follow-ups

    Adaptive probes on open-ended answers that pull out detail a static form would miss.

  • Attention checks

    Built-in safeguards against rushed answers and low-quality respondents.

  • AI-drafted copy

    Wording, ordering, and branching written by the AI — tuned to your research goal.

  • Auto report

    Themes, quotes, and a plain-English summary write themselves once responses come in.

How it compares

We reviewed the closest templates from other survey tools. Here’s what they do well — and where this template goes further.

Why this template

  • Splits a fixed budget across trip priorities with a constant-sum exercise, so you get real tradeoff data instead of vague preferences
  • Uses a MaxDiff activity ranking plus a themed-weekend rating to pinpoint what would actually excite the group, not just what they'll passively agree to
  • Pairs a Van Westendorp pricing set with an AI follow-up interview that digs into what each person would actually compromise on when budget clashes with the bride's dream activity
  • Closes with an automated report built from opinion-scale, matrix, and short-text accommodation data, so planners see quality-scored, structured answers instead of raw text

SurveyMonkey

What Questions to Ask in A Bachelorette Questionnaire [+Template]

This is primarily a blog-style guide on what to ask, with an embedded template rather than a purpose-built, fielding-ready survey. It benefits from SurveyMonkey's broad brand recognition and standard question types. The content leans educational rather than offering the structured tradeoff analysis a planning committee needs.

What it does well

  • Well-known, trusted survey brand with easy distribution
  • Includes example question wording to help first-time survey writers
  • Likely supports standard question types (multiple choice, rating scales)

Where it falls short

  • Static question set with no adaptive follow-up to probe individual tradeoffs
  • No mechanism to force budget-vs-activity tradeoff data (e.g., constant-sum or MaxDiff)
  • No transparent AI methodology or automated per-response quality scoring

Bachelorette Party Questionnaire Template: Plan the Perfect Celebration

A dedicated bachelorette questionnaire template, conversational in style, which is a closer functional match to our use case. It likely covers basics like destination and activity preferences but appears to rely on fixed question flows rather than dynamic probing. No indication it surfaces compromise points when group preferences conflict.

What it does well

  • Purpose-built for bachelorette party planning, not a generic checklist
  • Conversational chat-style UI that may feel friendlier to bridal party respondents
  • Likely supports standard question types like multiple choice and rating

Where it falls short

  • No adaptive AI follow-up to dig into what respondents would compromise on when preferences clash
  • Fixed question flow can't reveal budget-vs-activity tradeoffs the way constant-sum or Van Westendorp pricing exercises can
  • No published prompt-level methodology or automated per-response quality scoring
