Bachelorette themes are unique, to say the least. Some brides and bridesmaids want to live it up and will go to Las Vegas for an extravagant experience that they’ll never forget. And as the saying goes, “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.”
Other bachelorette parties are more relaxing and meant to be one last “hoorah” with those closest to the bride.
But, is going wild or relaxing the right choice for you? Only you know the answer.
Bachelorette party planning is about the bride’s idea of the perfect night or weekend. You have dozens of themes that you can choose from, or you can do something completely different than what we’ll list below.
What’s most important is that the bachelorette theme ideas you choose match the interests and energy of the bride and the group.
How to Choose Fun Bachelorette Themes Everyone Will Love
Every year, over 2 million people in the US alone tie the knot. You can look to these newlyweds as inspiration for your bachelorette party and the theme idea you choose. Feel free to change things up to match the experience and vibe you’re trying to create.
Just remember to consider:
- Location: If you’re planning an extravagant party that is across the country or overseas, many bridesmaids may have other commitments.
- Budget: Your bachelorette party may be once in a lifetime, but it needs to fit into your budget.
- Energy: Does the theme match the energy of the bride and her party?
You can ask all of the people in the party to lend a hand with the planning if you’re the maid of honor making the plans. Brides have a little more leeway because it’s their day, after all.
Bachelorette Party Themes to Help Your Brainstorming Session
You might have bachelorette weekend themes in mind that you 100% expect to be your plan. If you are still in the brainstorming phases, the ideas below will help you get your creative juices flowing and a few plans on paper.
Girlhood Weekend
Girlhood is an embracement of what it means to be a girl. The bride is transitioning into married life, and one last weekend with the bridesmaids is definitely in order. For this theme, you can:
- Plan a sleepover
- Go out to a show
- Head out for signature cocktails
- Spend one night pampering everyone while watching your favorite movies
Your girlhood weekend is about the bride spending time with her besties just like the good old days.
Glitz & Glam
A little bit of confetti and glitter is in order on this big day. Brides who love the glitz and glam of life are not afraid to show off their diamonds or be showered with champagne.
You can do so much with this theme:
- Photo backdrops
- Glitter
- Confetti
- High-end clothing
Your goal is for the bride to feel like a movie star.
Barbie Themed
If pink is her color and she’s always lived the Barbie lifestyle, this is the perfect theme for her. You can take a lot of inspiration from the movie Barbie, too, with:
- Nostalgic pink colors
- Rose gold-themed decorations
- Selfie booths
- Pink balloon arches
Wellness Themed
Fitness and health are commitments that many people have turned into their identities. The bride-to-be may appreciate:
- Meditation and yoga with her besties
- Group spas and/or massages
- Farm-to-table restaurants
You can still have fun with a wellness-themed party, but try to be more mindful of where you go and what foods everyone may consume. If she’s all about fresh foods, planning a party at a local farm may be the right choice.
ACOTAR Theme
Create an unforgettable ACOTAR themed party with whimsical decorations and lavish banquet tables. Ask everyone to dress up as their favorite character from the series and plan for themed activities, like a DIY craft station and tarot card readings.
Bachelorette Trip Themes
Bachelorette party planning doesn’t have to be complicated. The trip itself can be your theme, but if you want to make your adventure even more special, try one of the themes below.
Final Fiesta Theme
Looking for unforgettable bachelorette trip themes? Spice things up by planning a fiesta-themed party.
Book a trip to Mexico and celebrate your last days of being single. Spend your days at the beach (or pool) and your nights on the dance floor. Sip margaritas, wear colorful attire and leave your cares at the door.
Amalficore
Plan a beach getaway for your bachelorette party – Amalficore style. You don’t have to fly to Italy to make this theme unforgettable (but you only live once, right?). Just head to any coastal destination that’s on your bucket list.
Focus on colorful attire (blue, yellow, orange) and bringing a relaxed attitude. Wear pretty, loose-fitting maxi dresses or bold cocktail dresses and heels. Spend your trip dining at fine Italian restaurants and exploring the sights.
Last Sail
Celebrate one final sail before the veil. Spend the weekend with your best friends, hopping from one beach club to the next, sipping on spritzes and taking boat rides around the harbor.
Pack your best coastal attire (think linen pants, sun hats and loose-fitting shirts), book wine tastings and enjoy some quality time together.
To celebrate, book a cocktail sunset cruise and dance the night away.
Napa Themed Party
Spend your last few days of single life in the rolling hills of California’s stunning Napa Valley, sipping wine, relaxing by the pool and eating delicious food.
From boutique hotels to resorts tucked away in Napa Valley’s rolling hills, there’s something for every taste and vibe.
While Napa is known for its wineries, there’s so much more to see and do than just booking wine tours (which you should also do!).
- Take a hot air balloon tour
- Relax at the spa
- Take a hike in one of the many parks nearby
To bring the Napa theme home, have everyone pack maxi dresses, sunhats and espadrilles.
