To Strip or Not To Strip
There have been many disagreements in recent years over whether a male stripper is a requirement of a bachelorette party. The idea comes from the tradition of bachelor parties and stag nights, where a female stripper is almost unavoidable. However, it is not every bride's idea of perfection.
It is best to check with the bride before hiring the stripper when planning a bachelorette party. Even if the bachelorette is keen on the idea, she might feel uncomfortable staring at a stranger's crotch in the company of a large group of her friends.
There are plenty of alternatives to strippers, many of them designed to help a woman access her own sensuality. Pole dancing classes are becoming increasingly popular as a party event. Check out salsa classes at your local dance studio, or consider having a lingerie selling party.
Look in your local directories for information on what is available in your area, or get online to chat with other bachelorette party organizers to see what they did.

A Great Girls' Night Out
Here are a few tips for making your bachelorette girls' night out run smoothly and safely:
Make reservations! Nothing will kill the party faster than being made to wait or, worse, turned away entirely.
Bring extra cash (you never know when you'll need it). Bring singles if you're going to a male strippers club.
If there's drinking involved, be sure you have a designated driver and/or a car service for everyone.
No matter how much effort you put into arrangements, don't forget your bride-pal is the center of the show. Let her shine all night long!

Gag Gift Ideas
As it is not customary to give a large bachelorette gift on the bachelorette party night, many groups go for gag gifts to add to the fun of the night. These gifts can be naughty, or merely make a joking reference to the bachelorette's soon-to-be status as a wife. Naughty gifts include penis-shaped baking tins, penis pasta or lolly-pops, edible massage oil and chocolate body paint. Some of these gifts can also be aimed at the honeymoon naughty lingerie, flavored condoms or a feather tickler are gifts that are sexual but aren't likely to make the bride uncomfortable. If the bride is a bit wilder, consider French tickler condoms, handcuffs, a riding crop or even a vibrator, and enjoy the stunned look on her face!

Bachelorette Party Favor Resources
While there are some stores that specialize in bachelorette party supplies, you might not be lucky enough to have one nearby when planning your bachelorette party. Don't worry, there are plenty of alternatives, especially if you are prepared to get a little creative.
Your first stop should be your local resources. Check out non-specific party supplies stores to see if there is anything you can use keep an eye out for toy tiaras, fairy wings, glitter, bubble blowers, and general party decorations like balloons. Ask the owners of the store whether they can recommend anything for a bachelorette party.
Next, forage in local toy stores and costume shops. Toy stores usually have a large range of dress-up toys that you might be able to use pay special attention to the girls fairy and tea party sections. Look in costume shops for small items that could be used as gag gifts, such as toy ball-and-chain sets or cupid's arrows.
After this, browse through your internet directory for online bachelorette party supply stores. This does need to be done at least one month before the party date, as you need to allow time for shipping. This is a good way to get the bachelorette-specific items you need things like that inflatable penis that will make your friend's face turn purple on sight.

Keep Your Own Glass
Bachelorette party supply stores can provide a range of event-specific bachelorette shot glasses. Most shot glasses feature a suitably naughty slogan or sexy shape for the event, but more lady like ones can be found too. Some shot glasses come on a string and can be worn like a necklace. This comes in handy during bachelorette party drinking games or if the bride-to-be is at risk to misplace things - especially towards the end of the night.

Bridesmaid Duties
Bridesmaids are responsible for organizing the bachelorette party, running errands for the bride and generally being a helping hand as the wedding is organized. Bridesmaids should make themselves available to help organize the bridal celebration and help out with any other tasks the bride wishes to delegate. Although the maid of honor traditionally has seniority, she might be open to suggestions about the bachelorette party.

A Sophisticated Dinner
If drunken revelry is not your bachelorette's style, consider taking her for a feast instead. Find out the bride's food preferences and take her for her favorite cuisine, or go for a more general high-quality restaurant for her bachelorette dinner.
Look for restaurants in the restaurant guide in your local paper (keep an eye out for reviews and recommendations) and tourist information centers. Be sure to call around to see if you can get a good deal if you are bringing a large party, and to see if you can book a private room. Booking somewhere that your group can almost completely take over is preferable to a large, busy restaurant, so don't be shy of the smaller places.
