Bachelorette Party Essentials
What are the bridesmaids' responsibilities at a bachelorette party?
The bridesmaids' responsibilities at the party is to make sure the bride feels special. That she doesn't get into too much trouble, that she doesn't get embarrassed and that she is safe and she's having a good time. You want to make sure she's having a good time because she's the guest of honor.
Should there be a gift registry for a bachelorette party?
Generally they don't have a gift registry for a bachelorette party, although times are changing and some stores are starting to have special lingerie registries. Sometimes the girls bring gifts, and usually those gifts are bath items or panty exchanges. They are more romantic in nature generally those gifts, and they're really for the bride, they're not really for the new couple, they're not like kitchen items. They're really to make the bride feel special.
Should my bachelorette party have a theme?
Sure have a theme for your bachelorette party, why not? Because it's a lot of fun, it makes planning easy. You can incorporate different elements into the invitations; you can have a location that maybe has a few things and then tie in that theme with something about the bride. Or maybe about the groom, maybe she's getting married to someone who is from England and all of a sudden he likes to ride horses so you want to include a horse theme. So play with it, make some fun out of it, what is she like, who is she marrying and kind of play that up a bit.
Should I have favors at a bachelorette party?
Sure, you should have party favors at a bachelorette party because you know your guests are coming to the party, and it's really nice for them to bring away a little keepsake item. You want to have a party favor that is appropriate to the style of bachelorette party you're doing, so if you are perhaps doing a lingerie style party, why not give a long rose where the rosebud is actually a pair of panties? Or maybe some little candies with your name on them -- but it's always nice to have a party favor so they can remember the event.
What sort of decorations are right for bachelorette parties?
Bachelorette parties are festive and fun, so you want to use decorations that are colorful, and also play into the theme of your event. Inflatables are always fun. Besides balloons, they also have different decorations that are animals, or pickles, or items that you might want to inflate. But if you're having a more conservative party, flowers are always good. But really have some fun. You can also decorate different areas. You can decorate doors. You can decorate limousines. You can decorate the bed that maybe the bride is going to be sleeping in. You can toss some rose petals on it. But really have fun and decorate every area where guests are going to be in.
What sort of food should I serve at a bachelorette party?
Bachelorette party foods can range depending on what type of party you're having. If you're having a luncheon, then you're going to be having a full menu. If you're doing a cocktail party then you're going to be doing little small items, but if people are going to be drinking, have some hardy meals in there, or hardy food, so it will help them absorb some of that alcohol.
Are bachelorette parties always 'adults only'?
Bachelorette parties are not always adult in nature, and in fact more and more I'm seeing bachelorette parties that are not adult at all. Maybe they're a little sassy, but they're not necessarily raunchy or distasteful. The girls are getting together and they're having a good time and that doesn't necessarily mean having dirty things. And sometimes they're doing day events, or going to a spa and that doesn't involve any sort of novelty items.
