When you are putting together a bachelorette party for your friend, you have a big responsibility to make it into a memorable night. This isn’t just another party, it’s a time to let loose right before the most special night of the bride-to-be’s life. She might be feeling anxious about the upcoming wedding which is why you want to give her an opportunity to forget about everything else. It’s a chance to leave stress and anxiety at the door because there are so many wonderful things you can do to bring a bachelorette party to life. You have free license to incorporate a wide array of games and toys. The market for accessories and decorations is huge these days so you should have no problem finding the right types of supplies online or in person. Here are some of the most popular ideas for making your bachelorette party the most memorable experience ever.
Dressing up the bride
There is no more long-standing tradition then dressing up the bride in a faux bridal gown or dress. Some girls even choose to turn it into a game where you compete to come up with the most outrageous costume. Don’t just leave the bride hanging either because it’s a lot more fun when every member of the party dresses up as well. Just wait until all of you are in your costumes and parading around town for everyone to see.
Karaoke night
You can choose to go to a bar where you basically have everything you need all in one spot. There’s music, dancing, and of course delicious alcoholic beverages. You can also choose to buy a portable karaoke machine that you can carry with you throughout the night. This way you can start off the fun in one place with a bit of musical action and continue on wherever you go. Just keep in mind you might have to tip the limo driver a little bit extra if you’re going to be singing in the backseat.
Scavenger hunt
This has the potential to be a grand activity that will take up most of the time during the party. Or you can scale things back in order to fit other ideas in as well. Basically it expands on the idea of scavenger hunts you used to do as children. It will require you to make up a list of challenges that will be completed by members of the party who might be broken up into separate groups. Make sure to have a prize so that it amps up the fun factor and that the girls will have something to look forward to by the end of the night.
Drinks and games
Everybody has played a drinking game in some form or another. This type of game lends itself particularly well when you’re on the move or settled in a primary location. For example, you can spend half an hour watching clips from the best romantic movies while taking a sip of your favorite beverage every time a famous line of dialogue comes up. Or you can go for a ride out on the town and make it a point to drink whenever you see something specific on the street.
Truth or dare
This is a great game that doesn’t require any bachelorette party supplies at all. You probably remember playing this one in high school, and it’s going to be a lot juicier now that you are an adult. Truth or Dare makes a great pick for a warm-up game to get everyone in the mood and ready for a good time. It’s also a great way for people to become familiar with each other if there are members of the party who aren’t friends already. You can also find sets with specific questions designed for bachelorette parties that may come packaged with other games as well.
