What is a "JGA"?
What is a bachelorette or bachelor party?
A bachelorette or bachelor party (commonly abbreviated as "JGA" in German) is the perfect opportunity to celebrate the end of single life with friends or family before the big wedding day. In Germany, the "JGA" is usually organized by the bride's or groom's circle of friends - often in such a way that the "guest of honor" doesn’t know much about it in advance. In Austria, the "JGA" is often called a "Polterabend," while in Switzerland it’s referred to as a "Junggesellenfest."
The idea behind it is the same everywhere: the "JGA" should be an unforgettable day or evening full of fun and action!
How a "JGA" is celebrated is as unique as the individuals themselves. Some people prefer a classic approach with funny games, costumes for the bride or groom, and a wild tour through bars and clubs. Others opt for exciting activities like bubble soccer, laser tag, beer bikes, or a ride on a party bus. For adrenaline junkies, there are activities like indoor skydiving or go-kart racing. Creative workshops, such as a cocktail-making class, are also popular ideas.
The most important thing: The day should reflect the personality and preferences of the guest of honor! Whether loud and playful or relaxed and elegant, your "JGA", "Polterabend", or "Junggesellenfest" will be as unique as you plan it to be.
