These 11 Zingers Will Make Your Bachelorette Party Be In the Spotlight


The key to any planning is organization. To get the ball rolling, you'll need to speak with the guest of honor about your intentions. Discuss the guest list and any activities the bride should know about. 

If you're planning a surprise party, remember that the bride's calendar is typically cluttered in the final days before the wedding. You should clear the date with her and still keep the party details a secret. Keep in mind that she's likely to be embarrassed by some of the activities- that's part of the fun. But try to avoid anything that might upset her.

In this post, you will get ideas on:

Theme planning will give your party a distinct personality. Think about fun ways to coordinate the festivities using the bride's occupation, hobbies, honeymoon destination, and so on as starting points. Your theme can be woven into every party detail or lightly sprinkled throughout various activities. 

We found a few suggestions for theme parties complete with invitations, activities, favors, and general tips to get you started.

Fill speech bubbles near the bridesmaids' mouths with funny comments such as "As if the dress isn't bad, enough, I have good shoes dyed to match it!" or "Can you believe my best friend made me wear this?"

This party should definitely be held in a public place. Award costume prizes such as "The Best Preserved," "The Best Color," and "The Most Flattering." Make a special toast each time a stranger comments on the dresses.
Give each guest a small bridesmaid's bouquet to carry with her throughout the evening. As the party winds down, present each bridesmaid with a never-been-worn dyed pump filled with candy and other trinkets. Wrap the shoes in cellophane and tie each with a pretty box.

For real laughs, have someone pretend to be the bride's favorite teen idol. Seat the bride in the center of the room and have an MC tell stories while surprise guests remain hidden in an adjoining room. Keep the bride in suspense as long as possible, then ask her to identify the surprise guest. 
If you're heading out to celebrate, arrange to have an unflattering photo of the groom projected in larger-than-life proportions on a wall. Make sure everyone knows the geeky-looking guy is the groom. Assemble a memory basket for the bride or create a funny video that features pictures of the bride's childhood.

Strippers are the classic ingredients of the traditional bachelorette party.

Distribute glasses and let the tasting begin. Ask each guest to report her first impressions about each wine's color, smell, and taste. 

Award prizes for the most creative responses. Provide bread and water for cleansing guests' palates between bottles. To decorate, use empty wine bottles as candle holders and accent with inexpensive grapevine wreaths and grape clusters. Create a delicious Wine and Cheese Fondue.
After the tasting, host a wineglass-decorating contest. Use paints made specifically for glass so the designs will last long after the wine has disappeared. 
Also, you and your guests might want to collectively purchase a wine rack for the bride and have each guest bring her favorite vintage with a label attached indicating the circumstances under which the bottle should be opened. For example, a guest could request that her bottle be uncorked on the couple's fifth wedding anniversary or after they move into a new house.
Send each guest home with a corkscrew. Attach a notecard that reads, "Thanks for screwing around with us (bride's name)'s bachelorette party." You could also hire an artist to paint guests' caricatures on wine-glasses.

For added fun, keep the destination a surprise to both guests and bride, though this might be tricky.

Or, have guests paint each other's nails using a wide variety of nail polishes that you've provided. Encourage guests to wear their most luxurious robes and slippers for the pamper party and to bring a change of clothes for later festivities. Serve umbrella drinks and bonbons. 
Provide inexpensive sunglasses as party favors so your bachelorettes will be able to endure the paparazzi. 

11. Rubber Bash

It's time to pull out your rubber raincoats and rubber boots. You can leave the umbrellas at home- after all, this is a bachelorette party, not a bridal shower.

  1. These are all such fun ideas! I really love the idea of bridesmaids wearing old bridesmaid dresses for a costume party. That is so fun! Thanks for sharing and linking up with me.


    1. Thank you. No more boring bachelorette party on our watch.

  2. Great ideas listed here #alittlebitofeverything@_karendennis

    1. Thank you. Trying to think outside the box every chance we get.

  3. Very interesting post! I love to read about such great Bachelorette ideas, thank you.

  4. I think I'd be the no 1 type, sounds a lot of fun and everyone embarrass themselves equally. Always think hen parties abroad get too expensive and not everyone can afford it and I'd certainly stay clear of the tombstone invites. Thanks for joining in with #pocolo and hope to see you back later this week

    1. Yes, they tend to get expensive. Thanks for sharing!
