An important part of the planning of any bachelorette party is to decide a theme for the party. Anything goes when it comes to a bachelorette party. When deciding the theme of the bachelorette party it's a good idea to let the bride have the final say. While some friends might want to have a bachelorette party theme that entails a night out on the town, the bride might have a more subdued theme in mind.
Here are a few ideas for bachelorette party themes that you might want to use when planning a party for a friend, or even for yourself.
Night on the town. This bachelorette party theme is probably the one most people think of when they hear the words bachelorette party. The bride and her friends and family get together to celebrate at local bars and nightclubs. If this bachelorette party theme is of interest to you, planning for safe transportation is a must. Get someone to be a designated driver, or hire a limo or bus for the night to take the girls from nightspot to nightspot.
Poker party. Does the bride enjoy playing Texas Hold Em or other card games? If so, why not have your bachelorette party theme revolve around card games. You can get together at someone's house for some good food, good wine or beer and a few rounds of cards. Whether or not you play for money is up to you - why not give the winnings to the bride to be to help her in her new life?
Day at the spa. Who doesn't love to get pampered? Maybe the bachelorette party theme for you and your friends is a day at the spa. Before you plan this type of party, make a few phone calls to see if there are any day spas in your area that can accompany the number of people who will want to attend. You might want to keep the guest list small and intimate for this party. Each person pays for their own spa treatments and chips in towards the bride to be and her day. Some day spas might provide the champagne and snacks if you ask in advance, or see if you can bring your own and have the staff set it up for you the day of the bachelorette party.
Pajama party. Do you remember the slumber parties you used to have growing up? Maybe this is the type of bachelorette party theme that works best for your bride to be. Have her and her closest friends get together to spend a night of watching chick flicks, eating popcorn, and being silly. If you like you can always text the groom to be and have him and his friends crash the pajama party for some food and drinks.
Comedy club. Maybe you don't want to spend the night on the town drinking and dancing? Another idea for a bachelorette party theme is to spend the night being entertained by the talent at a local comedy club. Again, everyone pays their own way and chips in for the bride to be. If you think things might get a bit out of control assign a designated driver to make sure everyone gets home safely.
Amusement park. If the wedding is in the spring or summer (or you live in a part of the country that has good weather all year round) a day at the amusement park could be a bachelorette party theme that would appeal to you. It would be a great day to spend with your friends, riding the roller coasters and eating "amusement park" food like cotton candy, kettle corn, hot dogs and pizza.
Weekend trip. If finances allow for your circle of friends, a weekend trip to a fun location could be a great theme for a bachelorette party. You might think about Las Vegas right off the bat, but what about a trip to a major metropolitan city nearby, a spa, or to the beach.
You can be as creative as you like when it comes to determining a theme for a bachelorette party. We hope that the ideas presented here give you a place to start as you plan for this fun event.
