Vanessa Hudgens still can't believe Ashley Tisdale is getting married.
The 'High School Musical' actress is among those helping her former co-star, 28, celebrate her bachelorette party in Miami, Florida this weekend, ahead of wedding to Christopher French this summer, and was extremely excited ahead of the festivities.
Shortly before jetting to Florida, the 'Spring Breakers' star told PEOPLE.com: "Ashley's bachelorette party will be my first one.
"It's so exciting. And it's so crazy because I just think of us as having fun and being silly and the fact that she is getting married, my mind is kind of exploding."
The girls kicked off Ashley's pre-wedding celebrations at the Purdy Lounge on Thursday night (15.05.14) and enjoyed a boat party on Friday night (16.05.14).
Christopher proposed to Ashley last August after only eight months of dating, but she knew he was "the one" as soon as they met.
She said: "I was like, 'OK, this is the guy.' And he knew the same thing. It was just this feeling that it doesn't get any better. I can't explain it! It's just natural between us."
Vanessa is currently dating Austin Butler, but was previously in a long-term relationship with her and Ashley's other co-star Zac Efron, who sought treatment in rehab for a cocaine addiction last year.

Claire Sweeney is "absolutely delighted" to be expecting her first child.
The former 'Brookside' star has announced she is five months pregnant with her ex-fiancé, Daniel Reilly, and will give birth to a baby boy later this year.
The 43-year-old actress' agent, Jonathan Shalit said: "Claire could not be happier. To be pregnant and starring in her own show in her home town of Liverpool is all her dreams come true at once."
The 'Celebrity Big Brother' contestant and computer software tycoon Daniel, 29, are said to have remained close friends despite confirming they had called off their engagement last month.
The duo got engaged in December 2012 and planned to tie the knot in the House of Lords in London, but ended their relationship at the beginning of this year.
The former couple were devastated after the actress, who is currently starring in a play she co-wrote at the Liverpool Royal Court called 'Sex And The Suburbs,' suffered a miscarriage in 2012 at 12 weeks.
But in an interview with OK! Magazine last year, she said: "When we lost the baby, I was very philosophical about it. It wasn't meant to be. Things weren't right."

Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively were forced to move into a tiny "roadside hotel" after their wedding.
The 37-year-old actor married the former 'Gossip Girl' star in a secret ceremony near Charleston, South Carolina, in September 2012, and he found it challenging to shoot his new movie, 'The Captive,' in freezing temperatures in Ontario, Canada immediately after they spent their honeymoon soaking up the sun in Africa.
Speaking at a press conference for the movie at the Cannes International Film Festival on Friday (16.05.14), Ryan said: "I dragged my wife from our honeymoon in Africa and landed her in Ontario, Canada, when it was minus-40 degrees."
The heartthrob, who was previously married to Scarlett Johansson for three years until 2011, revealed they moved into "this little roadside hotel where we stayed for a month. That was the biggest challenge."
But Ryan admitted Blake was a good sport, adding: "Ironically, she coped with it far better than I did."
The blonde beauty, 26, previously said she was glad she took some time off to enjoy being a newlywed with Ryan after their nuptials.
She said: "Having a personal life has been really nice. I'd been on 'Gossip Girl' 10 months a year for six years, shooting 15-hour days, so I hadn't had time to just be since I graduated from high school."
She added: "It's been nice to kind of settle into my own skin and work on things I really love."

Chris Martin plans to continue "being open and vulnerable" in his music.
The Coldplay frontman, who announced his split from Gwyneth Paltrow at the end of March after 10 years of marriage, admits the band's new album, 'Ghost Stories,' is full of songs about his personal life because he finds it therapeutic to sing about "real" things.
The 37-year-old British rocker told the crowd at the band's iHeartRadio album release party in Burbank, California on Friday night (16.05.14): "We made the decision about 15 years ago that being open and vulnerable would be the thing that we would do.
"That means that what we sometimes lose in poeticism, we gain just by truth."
He added: "That's something that means something to me, but I never want to say what it's about because it might mean something to someone else. Hopefully, whatever we're singing is real."
Chris - who recently denied he is dating TV presenter Alexa Chung after they were spotted having dinner - and 'Shakespeare In Love' actress Gwyneth's split was announced through her lifestyle website Goop, when she famously claimed they were "consciously uncoupling".
However, they still live together for the sake of their children, Apple, nine, and Moses, eight.
The former couple have put on a united front despite their separation and have attended several of the same events.

America Ferrera thought she was in a "crazy weird dream" when she became the latest victim of prankster Vitalii Sediuk.
The 'How to Train Your Dragon 2' star was shocked when the Ukrainian TV reporter - who previously ambushed Leonardo DiCaprio, Will Smith and Bradley Cooper at red carpet events and attempted to interrupt Adele's speech at the 2013 Grammy Awards - crawled under her Georges Hobeika gown at the film's premiere at the Cannes International Film Festival on Friday night (16.05.14).
According to Vulture.com, the 30-year-old actress told a friend after the incident: "I don't even know what happened. I feel something behind me, and there's this guy under my dress, and then two guys drag him away!"
But the former 'Ugly Betty' star quickly laughed off the now infamous moment, adding: "Of all of the things I prepared myself for, that was not one of them.
"If you'd asked me what my first experience at Cannes was going to be, I would not have imagined there would be dragons. I would not have imagined there would be, um, ankle biters on the carpet.
"It felt like a crazy weird dream. It was like, I was at Cannes in my dream. I was on the red carpet and Cate Blanchett was next to me, and then some guy jumped under my dress!"
The film's director, Dean DeBlois, was also shocked by the incident.
He said: "It was so confusing. I thought someone was coming to fluff her dress for the photo and all of a sudden he's, like, under it. And it was all sort of over before anyone could process it. He got hauled off and thrown in jail."
Not all of Vitalii's victims have been amused by his stunts. He was slapped in the face by Will after planting a kiss on his cheek at the Moscow premiere of 'Men in Black III' in 2012.

Ashley Tisdale is celebrating her bachelorette party this weekend.
The 'High School Musical' star, who is set to marry her long-time boyfriend Christopher French this summer, kicked off the festivities with friends, including her former co-star Vanessa Hudgens, in Miami, Florida on Thursday night (15.05.14).
The blonde beauty, 28, shared a number of pictures from their first evening out at the Purdy Lounge on Instagram.
They then partied on a boat on Friday night (16.05.14), according to UsMagazine.com, during which the bride-to-be proudly wore a pink 'Bachelorette' sash.
She also wrote on Twitter: "Off to a very exciting weekend."
She later added: "Weekend with my girls."
The actress got engaged to her rocker boyfriend in August when he proposed on the 103rd floor of the Empire State Building in New York City, after just eight months of dating.
She tweeted at the time: "Best night of my life. We're on top of the world."
In December, Ashley gushed about how "natural" and easy their relationship was from the beginning.
She said: "I've obviously been in long relationships in the past. But I think because of knowing what I wanted, I wouldn't have gone into a relationship if it wasn't what I wanted. I think from the moment that him and I met, I just knew it. I was like, 'Ok this is the guy,' and he knew the same thing. It doesn't get any better. I just can't explain it."
The actress previously revealed she is planning to have a "small" and "private" ceremony, but insisted she hadn't set a date.

Lauren Conrad is "so proud" of her fiancé for graduating from law school.
The former 'The Hills' star, who is set to marry William Tell, 34, this summer, was on hand to watch him collect his post-graduate degree from the University of Southern California in Los Angeles on Friday (16.05.14).
The 28-year-old fashion designer shared a photograph of herself with William in his red graduation robe and matching cap on Instagram, with the caption: "This guy graduated from law school today! So proud! #esquire"
The couple - who recently got a puppy together - got engaged in October and William previously gushed about how supportive his famous fiancée was while he completed his education.
He told the legal site Above the Law in January: "She's extremely supportive of me being in law school, which is funny because I mostly come home and want to forget about it or to talk about what I'm doing at work. She's definitely interested in what I'm doing at school though. And it comes up at weird times. Like, a while ago, we were watching [legal drama] 'Suits,' and I remember saying that what was happening in the show wasn't exactly the way it worked in real life."
The couple plan to relocate to their native Orange County, California for the summer so William can study for his upcoming Bar exam.

Jessica Simpson will never return to reality TV.
The fashion mogul, who starred in 'Newlyweds' with ex-husband Nick Lachey before they divorced in 2006 after four years of marriage, says she will never allow cameras into her home with fiancé Eric Johnson and their children, Maxwell, two, and Ace, 11 months, even though she feels "blessed" to have done the MTV series.
She said: "I would absolutely not ever do reality TV again."
But she added: "I am blessed that I did have that show. It allowed people to come into my life, and to know me as a person, and I owe a lot of my support -- my fans came from that because people could relate to me."
The 33-year-old star "can't wait to be a bride" in Santa Barbara, California in July, but thinks her daughter will steal the show.
She told 'Entertainment Tonight': "She likes to twirl around in her dress, so she'll be the highlight for sure."
The 'With You' hitmaker plans to return to the recording studio for the first time since 2010 after the wedding.
She said: "I am setting up the sound in my studio [at home] right now."
She added: "Well, my kids are there, and they inspire me. They'll bring the music out of me."
