Wedding Help

Bachelorette parties can be a lot of fun. Bachelorette parties are typically hosted by the maid of honor and her bridesmaids and other girlfriends. Now, as I’ve mentioned before in several previous articles, I’m a Christian, and the party scene with drinking and strippers just doesn’t appeal to me. So it started me thinking, there have got to be other kinds of bachelorette parties that brides can go to that aren’t just about drinking, clubs, and male strippers. My previous article about Bachelorette Party Ideas went over really well, and a lot of people got help from it, so much so that I’ve decided to do another article with more great bachelorette party ideas that are different from norm. So, consider this my bachelorette party ideas part 2. Here is another list of great bachelorette party ideas that you can use to plan a bachelorette party the bride will never forget!

Take Your Bachelorette Party Out of Town

Planning this kind of bachelorette party requires some planning, to be sure. Grab the bride and a group of ladies and just take a weekend out of town. If the bride likes to shop, then rent a hotel room near an outlet mall, or near to her favorite boutiques. That way you can spend the day shopping, or window shopping, and the bride can spend her last evenings going out to dinner with her favorite girlfriends, and staying up late having girl talk. This kind of bachelorette party idea is a great way to give the bride some girl time, as well as some time to unload some of the stress that she has been dealing with doing her wedding planning.

Take your Bachelorette Party to the Spa

I covered this bachelorette party idea when I was talking about some different bridal shower ideas. But a spa is a great place to host a bachelorette party as well. Treat the bride to a relaxing massage, or even a manicure and pedicure to help her get ready for the wedding. Then, after everyone is relaxed and rejuvenated, take her out to a nice restaurant, to a karaoke bar, or some other place that the bride loves to go to. Remember that the bachelorette party is a party for the bride, and you should make it something that she really loves to do.

Bachelorette Party Ideas - The Slumber Party

My sister hosted a bachelorette party like this just a few months ago. The bride really just wanted a night to stay in, and to have one last slumber party before her wedding. So, they did it up like we were back in junior high or high school. They rented movies, baked cookies, and gave the bride a few gifts for her wedding, and overall they had a great time. It was just what the bride wanted to be able to spend some great time with friends, and relax from planning her wedding. Not only that, but she got to act like she was younger again.

There are lots of different bachelorette party ideas that you can use to help give the bride a wonderful time. If you are short on ideas, then just check out my previous article as well, Bachelorette Party Ideas. It’s sure to give you some great ideas and at least help you get started planning the best bachelorette party you can.

Now typically, the maid of honor is in charge of planning and coming up with different bachelorette party ideas (see Duties of the Maid of Honor) to give the bride and her bridesmaids a good time before the wedding takes place, as well as a break from all the wedding planning that the bride has been doing. In some rare circumstances though, the bride is left to helping the maid of honor come up with bachelorette party ideas, or even plan it herself. Such was my case, for different reasons, my maid of honor was unable to help me with a lot of the duties that being the maid of honor entailed. Sometimes it can be hard coming up with different bridal shower ideas, and bachelorette party ideas. So if you are the maid of honor looking for different bachelorette party ideas, or a soon to be bride looking for ideas to help out your maid of honor, then you’re in luck. I’ve been to several bachelorette parties, and have seen what works and what doesn’t, and have some great ideas to help you get started planning your bachelorette party.

Make Your Bachelorette Party Creative

One really fun thing that I almost did for my bachelorette party was to have an art party. Let me explain. There is a place nearby that allows groups to rent a room and paint pottery. There is a sitting fee and price for the kind of pottery that you want to paint, and the group can decorate anything they want to, and stay for a number of hours. Have all of the bridesmaids paint something, like a plate for the bride to decorate her new house with, and it makes a great memory for the bride as well. Add a meal out with the girls, and you’ve got a great bachelorette party that can be a lot of fun.

Make Your Bachelorette Party Tropical

Depending on the time of year, and your location, you can have a “tropical” bachelorette party. Plan a beach or pool party, complete with Hawaiian leis, little plastic cups with the paper umbrellas, and have a great time. Different activities such as hula contest, pinata, and much more can help bring your tropical bachelorette party alive. Bring food out to the event, or have a bonfire so that everyone can participate.

Make Your Bachelorette Party a “Killer”

My sister’s bachelorette party was a lot of fun. A group of ladies took a trip out of town to Austin, where a Murder Mystery Dinner was held every night, care of a local theatrical group. The actors were extremely entertaining, interacting with the guests and they really were pretty funny. On top of that, at the end everyone could fill out a piece of paper to guess who the murderer was. The food was great, the actors were funny, and everybody had a really great time.

Just because you are having a bachelorette party does not mean that it has to include bar hopping and male strippers. A bachelorette party can just be a time and fun and relaxation, to spend some quality time with friends, and most importantly, to help the bride relax and not stress over the wedding planning details for a while.
