Bachelorettes

---

I have both been to, and planned many bachelorette parties. Great bachelorettes have a fun theme and funny conversation starters, to let you mingle with the other partiers wherever you go. At a bachelorette, there’s a certain freedom that releases you from usual social norms, and allows you to be sensual, silly, and creative. Whether you are single, married, or the bride-to-be, these ideas are going to make your party awesome!

My basic ingredients for a bachelorette party:

1) Buttons – The group wears buttons to the bar that have clever phrases on them based around the party theme. Mine are almost always sexual innuendos (it is a bachelorette after all). This encourages people to approach, to ask about them. It breaks the ice and starts conversations out with the right vibe! If you make your own buttons, I recommend black words on a white background. It goes with any outfit, and it’s easy for drunks to read. You can also just write them on name-tag stickers in a pinch, but they may not stick as well to every outfit.

2) Stickers – Even if your theme is “bachelorette party” or “birthday,” having stickers to give out to guys is a great way to increase the fun and excitement and mingling. In my experience, guys really want them. It’s a powerful feeling to get to decide who gets best abs or best biceps. You may have to feel a few of them to be sure! Below is my favourite brand of stickers. You can find them online.

3) Signature Drinks – When pre-drinking before the bar, it’s fun to have some themed drinks for the events. You could have just one, or could have a shot, mixed drink, and wine or beer with a themed name.

4) Food and Games – These are very dependable on the theme. Check out the ones I did for specifics.
