Start with adorable invitations
We were going for the "classy" theme so I cut out black cardstock in a dress shape and embossed the great Coco Chanel quote "a girl should be two things: classy and fabulous." I finished it off with a beaded accent at the top and a strip of glitter at the bottom.
On the back, I cut a piece of silver cardstock after printing the details of the party. (I covered up the address portion.) In case you can't read it, it says at the top: "Let's celebrate a lady who's both!" At the bottom, it says: "Wear your favorite little black dress...We're taking the bride out on the town!" Then I glued the back of each of the invitations together.
One additional thing I placed in the envelope was a little cutout of lingerie, complete with rhinestone accents. I added the bra size and gown size but I didn't want to give away the bride's secrets here!
Have a dress code
I don't mean in a junior high hemline three inches above the knee kind of way! The invitation told everyone to wear their favorite little black dress, and I told the bride to wear white. I also had a veil and sash for her to wear, just so everyone would know it was her special day!
Pick a fun place for dinner
The bride helped with this one but we went to a fun Mexican restaurant and got a big, round booth that was perfect for our little party.
Go on a scavenger hunt
There are a couple of ways to go about this: couple-themed or destination-themed. If the town or area where you're having the party is special to the couple, make a list of places that were meaningful in their relationship. If you're doing more of a destination party, just create a list of fun things to do around town. (That's the one we chose!)
Here are some ideas:
- get a guy to propose
- get someone to serenade the bride
- make a public toast to the bachelorette
- take a picture with another bachelorette
- take a picture with a groom at his bachelor party
- find a guy with the same name as the groom
- get asked for your ID (thrilling after 30!)
- take a picture with an animal
- keep a souvenir from a bar or restaurant
- pose with a server or bouncer
- a picture of the sign at each place you go
We did this as a group since there were just 5 of us but if your party is big then you can make it a competition.
Wrap it up with a lingerie party!
I can't explain it, but girls just like to buy pretty, frilly things for their friends. We headed back to the house for some girly fun.
At this point I introduced lavender into the color scheme and used it as an accent throughout the party.
An easy-to-personalize polka dot banner:
Coordinating napkins:
Party favors!
Mason jar glasses with purple and white polka dot straws and lavender milk (okay, milk I colored purple):
More purple decorations:
Homemade mousse martinis!
Time to open presents!
We displayed them on a clothesline, complete with purple sparkly clothespins!
We had so much fun celebrating the bride. There's still time before the wedding...maybe we should do it again!

Yeah it is true that everyone doesn’t like naughty night out on his or her bachelorette party. Well, there are so many other ways to enjoy bachelorette party as well. You can hire a party planner that will help you to organize a stunning party at best location like New York Event Venues.
