Everyone looks forward to attending the bachelorette party before the wedding day. Adding a theme to the event spices up the typical bachelorette party and makes for some pretty memorable stories and pictures! Here are eight fun bachelorette party themes and ideas for a great “girl’s night out”.
Road trip: The group can plan an overnight or weekend trip to a nearby destination and plan activities. Examples could be a casino road trip, a beach trip or a whitewater rafting trip.
Scavenger Hunt: At the beginning of the night, the bride-to-be is given a list of items or tasks to complete before the end of the night. A few examples of what could be included on the list are:
- Sing a song in a crowded restaurant bar
- Collect a pair of boxer shorts
- Get a picture of bride and a stranger in a hot sports car
If you like the scavenger hunt can include the entire party as well and you can decide on any penalties for not completing the list.
Candy for a Buck: The group takes the bride out on the town wearing a T-shirt that has candy attached strategically. Each guy that wants a piece of candy must pay a buck.
Wearing a Lei: Each bridesmaid wears a lei throughout the entire night.
Shirt Full of Names: The bride wears a shirt that has different male names on it. For each man she meets throughout the night, she must ask him to find his name on her shirt. He must sign the shirt when he finds his name. At the end of the night, the bride does a shot or some other type of penalty for each “unsigned” name on her shirt.
Question and Answer: This theme is kind of like the
Newlywed Game show. The hostess asks the groom-to-be questions before the bachelorette party in secret. Once at the party, the bride-to-be is asked the same questions. If she answers differently from the groom-to-be she has to eat, drink or do something embarrassing for each wrong answer.
Spa Relaxation: Whether you go to a spa or have this at the hostess’ house, this is a great evening together as friends. Gifts are not a requirement, but a spa gift basket or gift certificate is always appreciated.
Karaoke: Take the bride to a karaoke bar and the fun will ensue! Task her with getting up on stage and singing a love song that reminds her of her groom-to-be. While gifts are not required, if you would like to give a gift at the bachelorette party, a CD would be a great gift to go along with the theme.
When planning your bachelorette party, remember the guest of honor. Never plan activities where the bride would be uncomfortable, bored or too embarrassed participate. Do you research and consult with the other bridesmaids and friends of the brides to select the perfect night out that your guest of honor will never forget.
