How to Throw a Unique Bachelorette Party
Fall
wedding season is here, and as maid of honor, it’s time to get party planning.
Although there are plenty of events to prep prior to your bestie’s big day,
your time to shine is the bachelorette party. You’ll be celebrating the bride’s
last night of single life while also bonding with her host of bridesmaids and
bffs. There’s two things to keep in mind with when hosting a bachelorette
party:
1.
Make sure the bride-to-be is happy. The event should be a celebration of all
the things you love about her and a night she’ll look back on fondly. Don’t
plan anything that would make her feel uncomfortable, bored, or like the party
is more about your interests than hers.
2.
Consider the guest list dynamics. The bride is likely to choose bridesmaids
representing different areas of her life, so the bachelorette party may be one
of the first times everyone in the bridal party is meeting each other. Part of
your job is to help everyone feel included and have one of the best nights of
their lives.
You
have an opportunity to come up with a memorable and unique bachelorette party
that will match the bride’s personality and break the ice as you get to know
everyone. We’ve got some great ideas to get you started.
Whimsical Wine Tasting
Break
out the bottle for a fun-loving wino bride-to-be. Not only will a little
alcohol help to ease the flow of conversation, but there’s also so many ways
you can spin a wine tasting party theme - they don’t have to be classy and
refined all the time. To bring a little whimsy to the event, try one of these character bottle pourers or get everyone a wine glass lanyard so they never have to worry
about being wine-less. A whimsical bachelorette wine party will have all the
guests laughing, chatting, and celebrating the bride-to-be.

Henna Tattoo Hens’ Night
This
could be the night to try something new with your group of girls and get some
wedding henna. Historically, henna ceremonies have been used in South Asian
nations as a pre-wedding bonding and beautifying ceremony, bringing together
women from both sides of the family for the first time.
If you
aren’t much of an artist, try a henna tattoo kit with everything you need,
including sticker stencils that will yield perfect results. This option works
as either your whole event when you throw a henna party or as a part of your
beauty regime before going out on the town. Either way, doing henna together
creates memories to last a lifetime and leaves everyone looking and feeling
beautiful.

A Twist on Vegas
A Las
Vegas bachelorette party is a classic, but there’s more to Vegas than booze,
strippers, and gambling. For a truly wild night in Vegas, it’s time to bring
out the big guns - yes, the actual big guns. Take the bridal party to Machine Guns Vegas where everyone gets a
chance to try out submachine guns, sniper rifles, and more. When you book their
bachelorette package, Machine Guns Vegas throws in a pass to Thunder from Down
Under for everyone in your party. You’ll still get the infamous Vegas
experience but with much more firepower.
The Crafty Bride
Does
your bride-to-be love all those DIY Pinterest ideas? Then consider hosting the
bachelorette crafty party at a class where everyone in your group gets to craft
something to keep as a memento of the night or even work on a combined gift to
present the bride at the end of the night. Yaymaker (formerly known as Paint
Nite) has several private events options where you can select
from hosted classes in paintings, terrariums, candles, and more. Creating
together has a way of strengthening group bonds and forming lasting memories.

Wildest Night
Some
brides may want a wild night on the town or at home, but for the kid-at-heart
animal lover, the wildest night is a bachelorette party at the zoo. Many zoos
in the US and around the world are now offering 21+ events where you come after
the zoo is closed to regular guests for cocktails, wandering the park, and even
some up close and personal encounters with the animals. Check out your local
zoo for an event or see these options if you’re near Los
Angeles or San Diego.

Any
way you plan it, your bachelorette party is sure to be one of a kind thanks to
the bride-to-be’s personality and interests as well as the group of friends
she’s assembled for her wedding. Be sure to customize the event to the
attendees, and you’ll have a winner - a unique bachelorette party to be
remembered fondly.
