Bachelorette Party Bonanza..Choosing a Theme!

Welcome to Premier Bride's final Bachelorette Party series post! We hope you've had fun learning a few tips for being a grade A party planner. Now it's time to get to the soul of the party...the theme! Here are our top three ideas for fantastic bachelorette party themes!

Theme Idea #1: Spa Day

No doubt about it, your bridal buddy will be super stressed. I mean, those photographers, venues and dj's aren't going to plan themselves! Treat your overworked affianced buddy to a wonderful spa bachelorette party! Invite your closest friends, or maybe just the bridal party) to a day of massages, mani's, pedi's and more! If you're in Houston or the surrounding areas, the Hotel Galvez in Galveston is a must-see. Featuring, get this, a hydraulic massage table (!), relaxation room and hydrotheraphy bath, this spa will be a favorite memory for years to come.

Theme Idea #2 Royal Bachelorette

With this theme, royalty takes centerstage as your bride-to-be is Queen for a night! Start off by outfitting her with a sparkly tiara, you can even throw in a royal scepter for good measure. Then, make sure she feels like a million bucks by having a limo pick her up and chauffeur her around town for a night. Take her to an upscale boutique for a private trunk show, or travel to a wine bar and host an exclusive wine tasting. Finish the night with dinner at a classy restaurant.







Theme Idea #3 Mock Wedding/Amazing Race Party

Ok, we have to admit, we cheated a little here by combing two great themes into one. But, who could blame us? When you combine tacky clothes, role play, and a scavenger hunt into one unforgettable party theme, the results will create memories for years to come! The first part of the theme involves having the bride and her attendess all dress up in tacky wedding wear in order to create a "mock wedding". This includes decades old (the eighties is always a great go to for this kind've thing) wedding dresses and bridesmaids gowns. Then, have everyone split into teams and hit the town to compete in a scavenger hunt modeled after the popular reality show, "Amazing Race." The losing team has to walk into a popular bar, dressed in full costume and buy everyone a round of drinks. Take plenty of pictures, this party will be one for the books!

There you have it, our top three bachelorette party themes. Make sure to stop by Premier Bride's website for great restaurants, hotels, and other wedding vendors to make your wedding a success and the bachelorette party just as fantastic!

Bachelorette Bonanza pt.2: Party Plannng Checklist (cont.)

We continue our Bachelorette Party blog series with a follow-up to the party planning checklist. Remember Maid of Honor...this list's for you! Insuring that everything is done in a timely manner, make sure you have the following completed by:

One Month Before:

*Follow up with the invitations. Email or call guests and let them know that a contribution to the festivities is standard, give them a price or product list to adhere to.

*Finalize your itinerary. Even if you're only doing a restaraunt and drinks it's important to note how long you'd like to be at each establishment, and what you'll be doing while you're there. If you plan on doing a pub crawl, know ahead of time which pubs you'll be traveling to and make a schedule . This way, you can estimate how much cash everyone should need and coordinate transportation.

*If you're planning a home party, help the hostess decided which snacks, games and outside entertainment everyone will enjoy.

One Week Before:

*Confirm transportation arrangements

*Confirm RSVP list

*Buy all necessary party favors and "props"

*Confirm all entertainment

One Day Before:

You've finally arrived! The most important thing to do on this date is to get plenty of sleep. You'll be directing an epic event in just one night so, you're going to need energy. Also, give the bride highlights of what to expect ( a few choice details to get her excited). Check with all venues to make sure reservations are ready to go and make sure all guest understand the itinerary.

Now, you can sit back and relax...for about 24 hours or so! Then it's time to throw away the checklist and throw the best darn bachelorette party anyone's ever seen...or close to it anyway. Check in with us next time as we discuss fun party themes and ideas.
