So you know me, well maybe you don’t…but if you do, you know I loveeee planning parties! Unfortunately, I am slowly but surely entering the phase of my life where one by one everyone around me seems to be getting engaged! I say unfortunately because I am one of the few lone bachelorettes left out of my friends I don’t want them to be married! But since I have no choice, I want their bachelorette parties to be the BEST! This post will be dedicated to planning the best Bachelorette party! Where to have one, what to bring, what to wear, how to plan!

First of all we need to plan the location. Here are a few possible options for you to choose from. Obviously budget and location is up to you.

1. Napa, wine tasting tours- It would be fun to rent a giant limo bus, tour around and get tipsy, and stay at a nice Bed & Breakfast or something. Kinda low key, but some girls like that.

2. VEGASSSS- Totally generic but one of the safest, most fun options! Tons to do, shows, clubs, pools, site seeing, roller coasters etc.

3. LA/Hollywood/San Diego- Another low key option. Laying out, magazines, happy hours, dinners, beaches, pools, shopping, water parks, concerts…

4. Palm Springs- Fun in the sun! Relax by the pool, get spa services, slumber party it up!

5. NYC- Sex & the city trip! I think I would have my bach party here. Roof top pools, shopping, big fancy dinners, tons of site seeing, cute pictures, big adventure for all the girls…

6. Miami- Get wild and crazy in Miami! Totally different night life vibe, bikinis and Bellini’s, street shopping, bronzing, boys etc…

7. New Orleans- Unique option, not perfect for most but could be ideal for some! Explore a new city with your closest girl friends! Dinners and local bars, could be so much fun!

8. Denver/Aspen- Winter bachelorette party? Snowboarding/skiing fun! Rent a cabin, cute snow pictures, bundling up..

9. 2-3 Day cruise somewhere. We went to Ensenada, it was a total blast! Gambling on the boat, buffets, bars, running around Ensenada, and all was under $400 bucks! Perfect length and place to have a bach party.

1. Once you choose a location, now it is time to get some cute invitations to send out!

Some cute personalized ones!

2. Make sure you include what everyone should bring. Bikinis, sleeping bags, pink heels, a gift etc… One thing I LOVE is matching or theme days. One day at Lindsay’s bach party, we all wore black bikinis and she wore a white one. It made for cute pictures. You could also have an all pink night or whatever color while the bride wears white. Decide all the themes and make sure you include in the invite!

3. Take a second to designate every one’s roles. Someone to plan games, someone to bring decorations, someone to design shirts etc… makes it much easier to plan if everyone helps a little! The cutest things we had were pimp cups, sashes with our names on them, a crown for Lindsay, shirts I made that said “Don’t try to HOLLA she found her shot Calla’” They were cute To make shirts you need a friend who knows photoshop to design them, buy some American Apparel T-shirts and then find a print place to print them! Easy and cute detail!

4. Decide what games you want to play. Lindsay didn’t want anything gross so we kept it all PG. Here is a cute site with tons of games and props to buy before! Choose what your bride might like best! Scavenger hunts are fun, we played one on our cruise! We also decorated the cruise with banners and other bach decorations.

5. Try to think of some unique, meaningful gift the bride might like. We had all the girls make scrapbook pages of them and Lindsay. It was cute all put together with pictures from the cruise afterwards.

6. Pick up a few matching items for the trip. You can charge everyone a small amount after but it makes for cute pics! We got teal sarongs, embroidered hot pink beach towels. We also were going to do some sort of hat but ended up not.

7. Some side ideas that would be cute are cupcakes, personalized cocktails, or a funny photoshoots. Overall, I would suggest just personalizing it to the bride. We had so much fun planning Lindsay’s and it fit her personality perfectly! Take lots of pics, even annoying dorky ones, you will love them later! Let me know any other fun ideas you might have!
