Bachelorette Parties – Tips and Ideas
If you are one of the lucky bridesmaids planning
some bachelorette parties this year, we have some
helpful do’s and don’ts to make sure your Last Night
Out is a success. Below, you will find the most
important party etiquette which you can send to each
girl:
 Bachelorette
Parties Rule 1: Dress the Part – Make sure to
let all the bridesmaids know the dress code and
theme for the party as early as possible so everyone
can get all sassy’d up to make your presence known!
Bachelorette parties are best when all the girls
dress in uniform, whether all in black, red or in a
theme like sixties, disco, playmates, etc. Let the
girls know ASAP so they can plan ahead and have fun
coming up with the costumes!
Bachelorette Parties Rule 2: Wear Comfy Clothing
– Don’t wear heels that kill your feet but look
good. Make sure your wearables are comfortable so
you have an awesome time. There is nothing worse
than wearing uncomfortable heels, too tight of
clothing that cuts off circulation or an itchy shirt
or skirt. Also pay attention to the weather so you
don’t freeze your bottom off. Plan ahead and party
in style and comfort!
Bachelorette Parties Rule 3: Where’s the Money -
Credit Cards and/or Cash – Make sure you have
some cashola to bring to the bachelorette party. It
is a buzz kill when friends have to cover you
(unless you don’t have the funds and someone is
covering you, knowing prior to the Last Night Out).
Find out as early as possible what is included in
the bachelorette parties events prior to the
extravaganza to figure out what you should bring as
well as a credit or debit card.
Bachelorette Parties Rule 4: You Deserve the VIP
Treatment – Places offering bachelorette parties
volume discounts are plenty in this economy as well
as receiving top treatment for your last night out
group! Call as early in advance as possible to any
special arrangements you are making for your
bachelorette parties and let the venue or
entertainment company know what you want or what
your vendor can provide your group to see who “wins”
your business.
Bachelorette Parties Rule 5: Less is More –
Think in advance what you want to bring and carry to
the festivities, especially if you are drinking
alcoholic drinks. Don’t bring a purse that includes
the kitchen sink. Bring only the necessities and you
will be less concerned about losing your favorite
digital camera, Coach or Fendi accessory.
Bachelorette Parties Rule 6: Don’t be the Stinky
Bachelorette – Make a great first impression as
a group by smelling the part. Don’t forget wearing
deodorant or perfume (a few sprays and not
overbearing). Bring a mini perfume bottle and a mini
deodorant just in case one of the girls forgets to
take this advice or if you are dancing or in hot
room.
Bachelorette party mints are also a must,
especially if you are going out for the night.
Bachelorette Parties Rule 7: Re-Glamorize –
Bring your must have “essentials” of beauty during
your last night out, especially if you are out of
town and/or blazing a dance floor. There are nothing
like basic touch ups after a few hours into the
bachelorette party which will make you regain diva
status once again! Bring enough for those who also
need a tune-up and you will be on everyone’s
favorite list.
Bachelorette Parties Rule 8: Bachelorette
Decorations, Bachelorette Supplies and Bachelorette
Games – Those bachelorette parties that dress up
the room and bride-to-be are usually the most
memorable. Make the party festive and interesting
with bachelorette party decorations, supplies and
games. Plan as early as possible and you can find
great deals to add bling and glam to your last night
out!
Below we have listed the major pitfalls and blunders
of bachelorette parties to stay clear of:
 Bachelorette
Parties Rule 9: For the Bachelorette – An
important tip to remember is to plan a party around
the bride-to-be’s interests, not what makes the
bridesmaids happy. If the bachelorette is
conservative, don’t try to overly embarrass her so
she dreads her own party and is embarrassed about
the
bachelorette party pictures. Include her
interests and temperament so she can enjoy her own
last night out! A male dancer may be too
uncomfortable yet a home party with generic plates
may bore her. You know her interests, so plan her
party with the right elements.
Bachelorette Parties Rule 10: Don’t Drink and
Drive – This is the most important of all the
blunders. No one wants to have a memorable time that
includes a totaled car, DUI, and possible injuries.
Make sure to plan ahead with sober drivers, a taxi,
party bus or limousine! You will have a more
enjoyable party without the worry.
Bachelorette Parties Rule 11: Cellularitis –
Bachelorettes don’t let bachelorettes stay on cell
phones for the majority of the bachelorette parties.
Whether you are speaking to a boyfriend, husband,
sorority sister or grandma Rose, make sure to be
sensitive to being present with your friends at the
party and not staying in cellular hell. It is a
major buzz kill to those party-goers around you and
also rude. Have fun in the moment with the other
bachelorettes and focus on the bride-to-be (unless
she is the one on the phone).
Bachelorette Parties Rule 12: Show Your Beautiful
Face – Wearing bachelorette costumes is popular
at bachelorette parties. Just make sure to not cover
up your pretty faces! The last thing you want to be
looking like is a clown. Choose a costume that gives
some sassy appeal, even if in funny
bachelorette costumes. It is always fun to get
looks that are amusing and positive without those
that are embarrassing.
Bachelorette Parties Rule 13: Don’t be Offensive
– If you normally have a trucker mouth or have
someone present that likes to drop F and A bombs,
try and tone it down with some appropriate diva
talk, since you are one of many that represent the
group. It would be sad for party people to banish
the bachelorette party or an individual diva due to
a filthy mouth or obscene gestures that are not in
good taste. Also stay away from cat fights since
drama can be left up to Lindsay, Britney and Paris.
Discuss this prior to the festivities and nicely
confront anyone not following the code of
bachelorette parties (to stay sophisticated yet
appropriately wild).
Bachelorette Parties Rule 14: Last Minute
Planning = Oh My – Bachelorette parties are
supposed to be a fun and memorable experience, not a
“cram to plan” like memorizing for a final in high
school or college exam. Plan way ahead and you will
have a more stress-free atmosphere and more
organized party. Last minute touches are great for
bachelorette parties but not if they are planning
the majority of the last night out in an all
nighter. Start the buzz of the party by sending out
early
bachelorette invites with back and forth banter
to excite the girls about the up-n-coming party!
Bachelorette Parties Rule 15: Bridesmaidzilla
– The last thing you want at bachelorette parties is
the bride-to-be stressing out or having a bad time
at her own party. Check in with her from time to
time and see if there is anything see feels is
missing. Plan ahead and ask her what types of
elements she would enjoy at her last night of
partying single. If she is having a bad time, take
her aside nicely and ask what can be done to liven
up the party for her. It is her big day so make it a
great one!
I hope these tips for bachelorette parties help in
