Need Great Ideas for a Bachelorette Party

I was the matron of honor in one of my dearest weddings last year and we are in our mid 30's. I don't know if you have a plan for where you want to go, but we made a weekend out of it and invited everyone to come to what they could. On the Friday, we spent the day at North Ave beach with a cooler of "goodies" and went to dinner for Tapas in the city at (Cafe Ba Ba Reeba). On Saturday, we made spa appointments and we got a hotel room for the night for the official bachelorette party. The rooms there are expensive, but it was so worth it with the wedding party pitching in. We did "fun" bachelorette party style drinks (search online for some yummy drinks with funny names) at the hotel before going out. We did a video Q&A - "How well does she know him" with the future groom (ex: what's his favorite food, etc ...you could get really creative here). And because we didn't want her to be too drunk before we went out we made her chew bubbalicious with every question she got wrong. We made CD's with her 10 favorite song and put funny pictures of both of them on the front of the case. We also made fun name badges for all of the girls with goofy names (Anita Mann, etc..you can find online). Also, we called it a "Naughty & Nice" shower....so, the gifts were cute and "interesting". Lastly, we went to all the cheesy bars (Mothers, etc). I hope this helps. Sorry it was so long winded

This really isn't a game, and is TOTALLY cheese, but it's kind of fun. I did this for two bachelorette parties I went to and most of the girls drank free all night.

Get a deck of cards with naked women on them and hand them out to all the girls. At the bar, as you're talking to the boys, offer, "wanna see a picture of a hot naked girl?" (Of course they usually say yes) then tell him he has to buy you a drink first. After you have your drink, hand him one of the cards to keep.

You can also tip the male bartenders with the cards to save a few bucks.

As I said, this is totally cheesy, but after a few drinks, it's alot of fun and you can get a lot of free drinks if you're bold enough to do it.

Don't know if this would work but, I interviewed my sister-in-law"s (soon to be) husband years ago. I created a "trivia" game and it turned out to be very funny! (No hurtful or insensitive questions were asked) We asked these questions at her party. We asked questions like "if your fiance' wasn't a computer analyst, what career path would he have chosen?" ("Rockstar" was the answer and knowing my brother-in-law, it fit!) Everybody filled out a sheet, but it was her answers that most amused us. It was fun and was a good ice breaker. Have fun!

Hi. What about Tony and Tina's wedding? You can have underage people go and they serve dinner. It's alot of fun and all you do is laugh!!!

Hi! Don't know where you are located but if Westmont isn't too far- Every month Universal Spa Traininig Academy and DeVine Wine partner up and have a wine tasting/spa party night. You taste wines and can get services from the student such as massage or facials depending on what the students have learned.

I was recently at a bar and saw a bachelorette party that was all wearing wigs, or what about a theme party? Good Luck!

Hi. For my best friend's bachelorette party, we made up a quiz about the bride. It was multiple choice. We asked questions like when and where the bride and groom met, what their age difference is, what high school she went to, how old she was when she got her master's degree, what colleges she attended, what her high school mascot was, and so on. The person with the most right answers (outside of those of us who helped make up the quiz)got a small prize. Hope that helps!! ~ E. R.

Mine was at the Baton Lounge and Lalos for dinner and a bar after. A great time was had by all. I also went to one at 2nd city and then a bar.
I wore a veil, but no "suck a buck" or anything tacky. Good luck and have fun!

Hi J.,
How about a day at the spa? In our community we have Chrysalis salon and spa ###-###-####. The have a wonderful mini monarch complete spa treatment. It starts ith a swedish massage using orgranic products. It includes pedicure and facial. I would Highly recommend it. I personal can wait to go back for my next massage. Fabulous! C.

Do an adult-only party. My sister had a full presentation after going to a vineyard in Valpo. But you can ask for one to be done within whatever time limits. I do For Your Pleasure parties. If I were doing one and had an hour to have the party done, I would show my top toys, lubes, and a couple potions (about 10 items in all), then take orders (yes, we're catalog so everyone can find what they want in their budget ~ I do, however, keep items on hand to take home that night). Then you go to a bar after that. All your fun and games were played at the toy party ~ and you didn't have to think up any of them or pay for the party! But, that's my suggestion! I know a lot of bachelorette parties involve a toy party now. What a way to send the bride off for her honeymoon, huh? You can check out more about my parties at www.spiceglamup.com.

I've heard great things about the Baton, and there's always Dick's Last Resort, and those 'rent a nerd' non-stripping but funny-perfomance-type people.

And a good old fashioned scavenger hunt, or points for the stuff in your purse game is always good for a laugh.

Have fun!

J.,
I have been to several bachelorette parties where before they go out they have a "girls" party. I have a friend who is a consultant with Surprise Parties and she does bachelorette parties all the time. She does incorporate some fun games into the night that could win guest free products. You can give her a call at ###-###-#### her name is Gini. If you give her a call just let her know that you got her name from L. and I am sure she would love to come and do a party! Good Luck and have fun.

Hi there:

You can take your entire party to Massage Envy. They offer a 1st time massage for $39. A fun, healthy thing to do before going to dinner. There is a nice one in Hoffman Estates.

My brother is getting married next month. For the bachelorette party we are going to a salon (the one we are going to for our hair on the wedding day)and doing a spa night. We are bringing in some food and drinks and we will do our practice updoes and our nails (one of the bridesmaids owns the salon so some of it is us playing and not paying) But what do you do when you get a practice hairstyle for a wedding...kind of a waste of money unless you have something to wear it to that night?! Then after we are all done up the bride wants us all to put on old bridesmaid gowns (either from weddings we were in before or from resale/garage sales) and she is going to wear a bridal gown from a resale and we are all going out on the town to be silly and have fun.

For a friend's bachlorette party we went to a spa before dinner and while the bride got a facial the rest of the bridesmaids got pedicures and manicures- it was nice for me since I was pregnant and not really looking forward to the bars! Or maybe go downtown and hang out and go shopping and then have dinner?

We played this at one of our christmas get toegethers and had a blast. Its called "Marry, Date, or Dump" (You can play around with the phrases, if you want to make it X-rated). Each person draws a card with 3 names of celebrities on it(you could pre-make the cards or have the guest do it when they get to the party). One person reads the names off her card and the rest of the party has to guess who she will marry, date, or dump. After a few drinks, we started to use co-workers names.

For my bachelorette party, each girl was asked to pick either a new piece of lingerie or a pair panties to bring to the party. Each item had to be something that reflects that gal who brought it. My sister's who threw me the party hung each item on a homemade clothes line and I had to try to pick who brought which piece. For each one that was correct, that girl got a little prize. It was a really cute idea and plus, I got about 15 pairs of panties to add to my collection. Good luck!!!!

Hello! I am a rep for Surprise Parties and would be happy to give you some information to have a successful party. It is a great way to lighten up the mood and Free for you and the bride could get product for Free!! Happy to help! A. :)

Ever thought about having a Surprise Party? I come to a house or hotel room, and give a entertaining, tasteful presentation on all the products Surprise Parties has to offer, such as lotions, potions, lingerie, and fun "love" stuff for the bedroom. Many women choose to have a Surprise Bachlorette Party, a great way to get the bride some fun stuff for the honeymoon as well! Contact me for more info!

I am a server at a restaurant, and last night I waited on a woman who does "pole dancing" instruction! I think that it would be so much fun, to learn how to pole dance. She has several locations, and she and I talked about how neat it would be to do this for a bachlorette party. If interested, drop me a line, and I will give you more info!

a spa day!!
try 1000 waves on Belmont for lower-cost yet still great rates. Kiva does stuff like this too, but also facials and that, or Four Seasons...just cost more.

One of the best bachelorette parties I ever attended included collage-making. The hostess got old Martha Stewart-type magazines and also some dirty magazines. Then she made photocopies of pix of the bride and groom. She bought a whole mess of art supplies, we all sat down at her kitchen table, and "used our imaginations". The results were hilarious! (Note: not all of the collages were naughty either.)

At one bachelorette party we all brought the WORST bridesmaid and prom dresses that we could find. We all picked one to wear for the evening, and everywhere we went we were such a hit! It brought a lot of humor to the night. Women we met while out on the town thought it was hilarious because they said they had a dress that would fit right in. Haven't we all had to wear one of those!

I happened to have several dresses to donate for the event, but you can also search out resale shops. The bride-to-be could wear a hideous white gown. Lots of fun at the bars.

As long as everyone is 18 you could do a Brown Bag Party. (Adult toy party.) They are a blast!! I am a consultant and could help you plan your party.

I think the S-factor bachelorette party is the best idea, too. I teach at S-factor and I have to say it is so much fun! We do a warm up, we do pole tricks, routines, whatever the bride wants. Check it out. www.sfactor.com We'd love to have you.
