Bachelorette Party Ideas

Bachelorette Parties are not quite the time honored tradition of bachelor parties but they are increasing in popularity. While bachelor parties date back as early as the 1800s as a final night of debauchery for the soon to be groom and his friends, bachelorette parties have only become popular recently and they seem to be more about embarrassing the soon to be bride than enjoying a final night of freedom. It is true that some brides choose to partake in a raunchy night of frivolity including male exotic dancers and large quantities of alcohol but the majority women opt for a variety of different activities. Some of the more unique bachelorette party ideas include nightclub hopping excursions, spa retreats, dancing lessons or even a movie night. Regardless of the activity of choice the common theme in most bachelorette party is to embarrass the bride in a light-hearted and fun way.

Nightclub hopping is one of the most popular bachelorette party ideas. These parties often start out with a dinner at an elegant restaurant followed by stops for drinks and dancing at some of the most popular nightclubs in town. A good way to do this is to hire a limousine for the evening to drive all of the girls from destination to destination. A limousine is a great idea for a number of reasons. First it provides the opportunity for all the girls in the party to travel together for the evening plus it is also an elegant way to travel so it adds a sense of regality to the evening. While all of those reasons are worthwhile perhaps the most important reason to hire a car for the night is to ensure that everyone arrives safely at their destination. The girls in the bachelorette party will often create a veil for the bride to wear on the night of her bachelorette party. The appearance of the veil doesn’t matter as long as long as it is obtrusive and calls a great deal of attention to the bride. It’s also typical for this type of party to send the bride on a scavenger hunt on the night of her bachelorette party. The other girls will usually get together ahead of time and create a list of activities for the bride to accomplish or objects to obtain. This type of bachelorette party is a great way for the bride to enjoy a night of dinner, dancing and drinks with her friends.

Spa retreats are another popular bachelorette party idea. For this party idea the bride to be and her friends get together at a spa where they can enjoy relaxing massages, facials, manicures, pedicures and other treatments while also making use of steam rooms, saunas and hot tubs. In addition to all of the treatments available most spas also provide wonderful meals chosen from a menu of low fat dishes. This type of bachelorette party offers the bride the chance to relax and connect with her friends while forgetting about all the stress involved with planning a wedding. Many brides get too caught up in the minute details that they forget to enjoy the process of planning but a spa retreat bachelorette party is the perfect remedy for this situation.

Still another popular bachelorette party idea that is a little more risqué is a night of exotic dancing lessons. These types of parties are becoming increasingly popular especially as classes such as pole dance classes are beginning to spring up in popular health clubs. For these parties the girls usually gather either at a private home or a dance studio and a professional dancer comes in to teach the girls about the art of seduction through exotic dance. This can be a fun way for the girls to let loose and have fun and may inspire the bride to be to try out a few new moves on her wedding night.

Another unique bachelorette party idea is for the maid of honor to host a movie night. The host could make sure to rent plenty of movies that the girls will enjoy and stock up on movie theater style goodies or create her own menu of hors devours. After the bride is married she will most likely make a lot of compromises in movie choices but her bachelorette party movie night could be her last chance to sit around with her friends watching tear-jerker or romantic movies. This type of bachelorette party is just a fun way for the girl to get together to talk and have a good time together.

The bachelorette party is a relatively new phenomenon but the idea is picking up steam and bachelorette parties are becoming more prevalent. The bachelorette party does not have the same connotations as a bachelor party. They are generally not seen as last nights of freedom but rather a night to bond with the girls.
