must-haves-for-an-awesome-bachelorette-party-alignthoughts

1. A sash or crown for the bride to be

The first thing on the bachelorette to-do list is a sash and a crown. Even if you decide to get dressed up together and wear matching diva outfits, the bride to be should ALWAYS have something that helps her stick out! A sash or a crown is a great way to set your beauty apart.

No matter where you decide to throw the party, everyone should know who you’re celebrating! Plus, a crown will make her feel royal!

2. Start planning a bachelorette party with a great theme!

Every bachelorette party needs a BOMB theme to get the party started right! Once you have a theme, the other things required will fall into place/ it could be a beach theme or, my favorite, a Girls Gone Wild theme!

Besides, be creative and think of something entirely outside of the box so that you ladies can throw caution to the wind and get out of your shells for the weekend! A bachelorette party is the BEST time to get loose!

10 best bachelorette party themes for your bachelorette party:

  1. A Wild Naughty Night Out
  2. Princess Party (Mermaid, Unicorn, Barbie, Disney, etc.)
  3. Girls Sleepover Slumber Party
  4. Tropical Theme Party / Hawaiian Luau
  5. Movie Theme Party (Eg. Star Wars or Sex and the City)
  6. Viva La French bachelorette theme
  7. Friends-Themed 90’s Bachelorette Party
  8. Halloween Themed Party
  9. Beers and Bras Theme Party
  10. Color Trend

3. A professional photographer

Naturally, you are going to want LOTS of pictures and videos! Partially because you are going to want to be able to look back on good times. A bachelorette party is always a great night to memorialize so you girls can laugh later. While planning a bachelorette party, make a list and book one of the best photographers in your locality.

Another good reason is so that the next morning you can remember what it is you did! Did Barbara dance on top of the table? According to the video, YES! It might help to get a selfie stick for group selfies also!

4. Hangover kit

Let’s be real. If you succeed at throwing a fantastic bachelorette party, there’s a good chance that you’ll also succeed at waking up Sunday morning with a horrific headache. Ladies tend to wake up for bachelorette parting with smeared makeup, headaches, and foggy brains.

So come prepared and include a hangover kit in your bachelorette party planning list! Have a hangover kit for all of the guests. So you guys can pretend the next day that you weren’t partying as hard as college kids!

Furthermore, here are things to include in your hangover kit:

  • pain medication
  • breath mints
  • water
  • tea-bags (ginger, honey, and peppermint are the best!)
  • bottle of coconut water
  • dental floss
  • mouth wash
  • wet wipes
  • makeup remover
  • hydrating face mask
  • mini lip balm
  • band-aids
  • bunch of hair elastics or a hair clip

5. Water bottles!

If this party is going to pop off the way that you want it to, you are all going to need to stay hydrated! Remember to include water bottles while planning a bachelorette party. You don’t want your bride passing out because she has partied too hard!

Therefore, get some water bottles so that everyone can stay hydrated and semi-clear minded despite all of the liquor you are likely to ingest!

 

6. Bachelorette Party Games

The most important thing on the bachelorette to-do list is the games. You can’t go wrong planning a fun game for your bachelorette party! There are so many different games that would make the night fun! You could do a scavenger hunt or a game all about seeing who knows the bride best.

I believe games are a great way to start the evening because it’s an excellent way for girls to bond and get to know each other. Moreover, it helps in breaking the ice and helping the guests interact with each other. After the game, everyone can all start to feel comfortable with each other enough to let their hair down!

Did You Know? Adult Entertainment accounts for 53 percent of the items on the Bachelorette Party agenda.

Here is a list of some amazing Bachelorette Party games:

  • Polish Or Porn? (Guess what it is)
  • Pin The Kiss on Your Mr. / Kiss The Lips (Using Blindfold)
  • Never Have I Ever
  • Dirty Truth or Dare
  • How well you know the bride?
  • Bachelorette Scavenger Ring Hunt
  • Carve and Create (Funny and explicit carvings on vegetables)
  • Newspaper Lingerie Fashion Show
  • Bra Pong
  • Who Am I? / Guess Who Said That?
  • R-Rated Word Scramble
  • Bridal Bingo

7. A limo or party bus is a must while planning a bachelorette party.

Renting yourself a limo or party bus is a GREAT way to make the lady of honor feel special! How often do you get to get chauffeured around in luxury? It may seem like an expensive way to spend the night, but how much money do you think you ladies would spend going everywhere by Uber?

Did You Know? New York City and San Francisco are some of the most pricey destinations for bachelorette parties, with both coming close to $2,000 for a three-day trip.

Unless you have a designated driver, you’ll be too intoxicated or turned up to want to drive yourselves. Plus, it’ll have all of you feeling like rock stars!

8. An amazing party playlist

If you’re planning the bachelorette party, you probably know the bride pretty well. In short, pick out some of her favorite party music. Besides, get some songs that make you want to dance, jump up and down, and whip your hair all over the place!

Then get some songs that you want to be sexy and twerk a little bit! The playlist at a party can make or break how good it is to choose your songs wisely!

9. Portable phone charger

As I said, these are moments you will want to capture, right? This means you’ll also be on Snapchat or your Instagram story, which will DRAIN your battery! You’re going to want to have fun, but let’s also be safe and make sure we will always have phone access in case of emergencies.

You don’t want to force yourself to stop taking pictures and making videos because you’re worried about your battery dying. All in all, come prepared with a portable charger and take all the pics and videos you’d like!

10. Things for an at-home or out of the home spa treatments

One of the most significant points of a bachelorette party is for our bride to relax before her big day. Weddings can be stressful and cause a lot of pressure on the bride. We want her to feel relaxed, calm, and ready to walk down that aisle.

Planning a bachelorette party can be pretty stressful as well. Additionally, planning some well-deserved pampering is a great way to end a bachelorette party.

How about an at-home spa night for the girls?

Get those temples rubbed, put on a face mask, cucumbers over the eyes, and breathe it all in.
