Naughty Delivery
Fresh out of girls night out ideas? Are you desperately searching for unique bachelorette party ideas??Try having a fun party. Fun parties are naughty little gatherings where a saleswoman actually shows up on your doorstep to sell unmentionables to the guests. Ever had an inkiling of interest in purchasing some completely tasteless lingerie, edible panties, or an exciting sex toy but didn't have the guts to march into that X-rated shop? Have no fear ladies, now the sex shop can come to you. And, surrounded by friends, you'll feel more at ease...it is a "fun party" afterall. You can easily find a way to book this type of party online or in the yellow pages. *One rule of thumb should be that each attendee is required to buy at least one item for the bride as a gift (this is something you'll want to make clear on the invitations). As an added bonus for the hostess with the mostess, the person who hosts the party generally earns commission off of every item purchased. If that isn't insentive, I don't know what is.
Toss Out the Girls Night
Want to throw a unique bachelorette party? Unique bachelorette party ideas are sometimes hard to come up with so why not nix the all-girls fiesta??A clever alternative to a bachelorette party is called a "Jack and Jill Party." Jack and Jill parties are coed gatherings and the guestlist should consist of the friends and relatives of both the bride and groom. Jack and Jill parties tend to get quite large so it's a good idea to hold them at a restaurant or event hall and you may want to charge a small fee per head (they can get pricey). So, you can toss out the drinking games for this one since children, future inlaws, and grandparents are likey to be in attendance. Instead, try playing fun group games. Make up various questionaires consisiting of questions about the couple's courtship, relationship, and engagement. You can make the games even more fun by offering inexpensive prizes to the winners. This might also be a good opportunity for everyone to mingle before the big day...imagine how much more fun the reception will be if a lot of the attendees have already been acquainted!
Cool Ideas for the Bachelorette
Who says that bachelorette parties have to be hot and heavy? Instead of sweating up a storm in a sizzling club or dropping dough in a steamy strip joint, sign up for some cool fun. Rent a lodge or suite at a popular ski resort and take the bridal party celebration to the slopes. Before deciding on a place, call around and inquire about packages. Many resorts are more than happy to give large groups price breaks and many will throw in fun extras (like free champagne). To show your unity, have the entire party wear matching hats and gloves (they would make awesome gifts for the guests).
Fore!
Your bachelorette party doesn't have to be something that's better off viewed on Cinemax! If you want to have more fun and bonding and less sleaze and fondling at the bachelorette party that you're throwing, skip the skanky strip clubs. If you want to enjoy a unique bachelorette party, rent out a miniature golf course for a few hours. At the miniature golf course, place prizes near all of the holes and hide clues throughout the course (no cheating, either). If the course allows or provides it, make some of the prizes drink coupons. As party favors, give out argyle knee socks and cheap visors. If you really want to get creative, personalize each visor with paint pens. And, if putting gets old (stranger things have happened) I bet those go-carts are calling your name. Who knows, maybe a good bump will knock that bride-to-be to her senses...just kidding!
Ahh, Sweet Memories
Are your bridal party ideas for the bride's last single night pretty lame? Are you reaching for unique bachelorette party ideas??When inspiration fails to strike don't worry. Just remember that the bride wants to spend some quality time with the girls that have seen her to where she is. Chances are that the bachelorette guestlist will consist of women from all different parts of the bride's life, why not embrace that? Request that each attendee bring things that will dredge up memories from the past. We're talking junior high photos, high school yearbooks (yikes), soccer action shots, college clippings and syllabuses, company Christmas party snapshots, etcetera. Spend the evening reminiscing and racing down memory lane (as painful as some of it may be). *To really bring the idea to life, listen to music and/or watch movies that you grew up with. The bride-to-be is graduating to an entirely new stage of her life so make sure she never forgets about all of the things and people that got her there.
Scrap That Idea
You're ready to scratch all those raunchy girls night out ideas and plan something special, good for you. But what now? Plan a simple get together at your home. Set up appetizers, break out the girly drinks, and get ready for the memories. Instruct every invitee to bring as many pictures or peices of memorobelia having to do with the bride that they can. Make sure that you specify that these must be things that they are willing to part with (remind them that photos can be reprinted quite cheaply). Buy a large scrapbook and plenty of scrapping materials (you might ask the guests to bring some of these items as well). On the day of the party, dump all of the photos and items on a large surface and sort them in groups according to chronological order. Then, make a scrapbook using all of these memories. Have the girl that donated each photo or item write a personal message or anecdote next to it "I remember this day when you made me go that cheesy club so we could meet those guys " or "this is the ticket stub to that awesome Aerosmith concert that we snuck out to go to in the 10th grade." *A good tip is to have ample tissues lying around because you're all going to need them!
Piece Meal
Are you on a mad search for great girls night out party planning ideas? Relax, it's easier to plan your gal pal's event than you think. Chances are that if you're planning the bachelorette party you're the maid of honor and know the bride very well. What types of things does she enjoy? Still stuck? Well, I don't know anyone who doesn't appreciate a fantastic meal. If you go the restaurant route for you bachelorette party, instead of limiting yourself to one restaurant, however, why not let your courses span across town? Pick multiple good restaurants and enjoy one course at each one. Start at your favorite bar or pub for predrinks. Then, slip into that cute Tapas joint for appetizers. Next, get fantastic salads at that Italian place down the street. Get the picture? This is a great way to bond with all the girls and to try those restaurants you've been itching to get into for so long. Another word of advice, don't be affraid to mix food genres. Who says you can't follow miso soup with fajitas?
Ships Ahoy!
Ahh, the bridal celebration before the wedding. Who will ever forget their bachelorette party (on purpose, anyway)? It's up to you to make sure that the bride-to-be has the time of her life so don't drop the ball, girlfriend. Chances are this woman is very special to you so you'll want to make this event special for her. Why not opt for an adventure asea? Invite all of the closest women to the bride, pack oodles of sunscreen, and charter a boat. There are vessels available for charter everywhere, you just need to pick your pony. If you want a relaxing day gliding in the breeze, rent a giant schooner and a sailor to show you the ropes. If you feel the need for speed and excitement, rent a speed boat and pack some skis. If you just want to relax, however, look into a yacht or a cruise boat. These options aren't as expensive as you'd think (especially with multiple women chipping in). Do your planning right and it will be smooth sailing.
Yee Haw!
Good country people, you've heard of them. If the bride-to-be happens to be one of them, throw her a unique bachelorette party that will make her feel at home. Think barbecue, think hayrides, think square dancing! If a good old country soir¨Ĥe is something the bride would fancy who are you to deny her? You will, of course, want to hold the even outside. If you don't have the space to accomodate an outdoor event, talk to everyone on the guest list and find someone who does. Any table and chair combination will do (we've already established that this isn't meant to be a formal event). Make sure however, that you provide ample seating. Cover all of the table surfaces with inexpensive table cloths. Red and white checkered coverings will make the best showing but, as an alternative, use several mismatched cloths. As certerpieces use jars of glasses filled with wildflowers and sprinkle each table with cororful confetti. The menu is simple, serve anything that you can throw on the grill. Hot dogs, hamburgers, and ribs are fine selections( just be sure to have a vegetarian option available). Serve sides of potato salad, coleslaw, and corn on the cob and place a basket of sliced bread on each table. When chow time is over, set up the entertainment. Look online or in the yellow pages and search for square dancing options. Many places will send someone out to your event to run the dance for you. If this type of thing isn't available, get your own music and improvise. Making up your own dances can be a hoot and the bride is sure to be grinning from ear to ear throught the entire event.
Down with Hectic
Why is it that most bridal party ideas for the bachelorette party end up leading you to skeezy strip clubs where you stuff singles into some slub's G-string as you sip bellinis from a penis straw? While this idea may appeal to the masses why not take a step back from hectic? Planning a wedding is hectic enough and you better believe that the bride-to-be has been on the go for months orchestrating the event. What's the best thing you can do for her? Help her relax! Instead of taking her bachelorette party to the clubs, take it to the beach. How's that for unique bachelorette party ideas?Put on some big sun hats, pack a cooler and a picnic lunch, buy batteries for that portable stereo, and then plop your?bachelorette party?down in the sand. Taking an entire day to relax and do absolutely nothing but bond with her favorite gals is probably EXACTLY the kind-of thing the bride wants. Keep in mind, however, that the sun has lasting effects. Make sure that the bride is lathered with sunscreen and, for goodness sake, make sure that her bathing suit straps are consistent with the straps on her dress. If disaster does strike, however, make sure you get that girl to a tanning bed to even up those tan lines, she's got a wedding to go to!
