Planning a bachelorette party usually rests
with the bridal entourage. Although usually
held the night before the wedding day, many
parties are also held at a much earlier time
such as month or week prior to the day of
the wedding.
Creative Ideas and Themes for A Memorable
Party
For a memorable and safe party, some unique
ideas include hiring or renting a cocktail
bar (i.e., mobile bar or bartender) for an
in-house celebration. This type of arrangement
not only saves time and money from having
to purchase and mix your own cocktail drinks,
but also many vendors can provide additional
services beyond bartending such as hors d'oeuvres
and even selecting and setting up decorations.
Incorporate a Colorful Party Theme and Unique
Color Scheme
The most exciting aspect of planning a bachelorette
party is the idea of using a wacky or unique
theme. Some exciting theme ideas include:
Mardi Gras, Havana Nights, Cinco De Mayo,
Las Vegas, Naughty and Nice, Moulin Rouge,
or Disco Nights' themed bachelorette parties.
For an ethnic twist, try a Spanish Fiesta,
or Chinese Lantern theme whereby the festive
cultural aspects of your ethnicity are celebrated.
While not necessarily theme related, the use
of vibrant color schemes is also an alternative
to having an actual party theme. For instance,
using a mix of black and hot pink is a favorite
color whereby favors and decor help decorate
this color scheme in a hip style.
Setting a Budget and Plan Keeps Things Sane
and Organized
With every party, there is always a need
for organization. Keep a plan and budget and
discuss them with everyone involved in putting
the party together. Create a guest list and
manage it accordingly, since the list will
most like expand as the planning progresses.
Also, develop a calendar to keep things in
check, as the day of the party gets closer.
As a courtesy to guests, be sure to have a
designated driver or taxi cab for those taking
one drink too many for the night.
Use Games and Dances That Keep People's
Interests
As with any event, sometimes guests can get
bored. Whether choosing to have provocative
or tame type of games, keep guests engaged
by using a variety of games that can be enjoyed
by everyone. While bingo has always been popular
for bridal shower games, some party planners
have begun to craft inventive games that not
only keep up the fun, but also allow guests
to take prizes home. For example, in a Moulin
Rouge themed party, guests can join in the
fun by learning the can-can, or for an exotic
Arabian Night's event have belly dancers pick
guests to participate in the dance. Another
unique approach is to have a Safari theme
whereby the motif of your decorations can
be based on an African jungle trip. Consequently,
be sure to use your guests as judges for the
best dancers. There are also some games that
can cater to a specific gender or involve
both male and female guests. Therefore, be
sure to tailor any prizes that you plan to
give out according to the recipient.
