Word Count: 647 Bachelorette Party Ideas
While bachelor parties are a tradition dating back to the 1800s, bachelorette
parties have become popular only recently. Bachelorette parties seem to be more
about the bride-to-be bonding with women friends than the male tradition of
enjoying a final night of freedom before marriage.
A New Tradition
Some brides choose a night of frivolity, such as male exotic dancers and lots of
alcohol, much like the groom's bachelor party. But the majority of women opt for
other activities. The theme of most bachelorette parties is to tease the bride
in a fun way, while sharing a memorable evening with her best friends.
The Nightclub Scene
This is 1 of the most popular bachelorette activities. Parties often start with
dinner at an elegant restaurant, followed by drinks and dancing at popular
nightclubs. Hiring a limousine to drive everyone together from destination to
destination is a great idea. First, it allows all the women to travel together
and party in transit. Second, it adds a touch of class to the evening. And
perhaps the best reason is to ensure that everyone arrives safely at their
destinations.
The women in the bachelorette party will often create a veil for the bride to
wear on that night. The style of the veil isn't important, so long as it is
conspicuous 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. The other women
get together ahead of time to create a list of activities for the bride to
accomplish or objects to find. This type of bachelorette party is a great way
for the bride to enjoy a night of dinner, dancing, drinks and fun with her best
friends.
Retreat To A Spa
Spa retreats have become quite popular as bachelorette party ideas. The
bride-to-be and her friends get together at a spa to enjoy relaxing massages,
facials, manicures, pedicures and other treatments. A steam room, sauna and/or
hot tub adds an extra element of relaxation.
Some spas provide great meals from a selection of healthy dishes. This type of
bachelorette party lets the bride relax and connect with her friends while
leaving behind the stress of planning a wedding. Many brides get so caught up in
the details of wedding planning that they forget to enjoy the wedding. A spa
retreat bachelorette party is a great solution.
Exotic Dance Lessons
A little more risqué, but lots of fun, is exotic dancing lessons. These parties
are becoming more common now that pole dancing classes are beginning to spring
up in health clubs. For these parties the women gather at a private home or a
dance studio, and a professional dancer comes in to teach them the art of exotic
dance. This can be a great way for friends to let loose and have fun.
Night Of Feature Films
Another unique bachelorette party idea is for the maid of honor to host a movie
night. The hostess rents plenty of movies to select from, and stocks up on movie
theater style goodies or creates a menu of hors d'oeuvres. This could be the
bride's last chance to sit around with her friends watching "chick flicks" for a
good long while. This is a fun, safe, and relaxing way for the women to get
together to talk and have a good time.
Female Bonding
Although a new phenomenon, the bachelorette party is quickly catching on. It
does not have the same feel as a bachelor party -- instead of a last night of
freedom, it a night to bond with women friends.
