The Point System

Point systems are men's time-old way of keeping track of bachelorette party deeds. Write up a list of deeds that warrant points and hand out copies before the party begins. As the night continues, guests will need to keep track of their own and others' points – sabotage should be encouraged as part of the fun! At the end of the night, hand out an award to the guest who accumulated the most points (finally, a perfect use for that penis tiara!), possibly coupled with a couple of alka seltzers for the morning after.

Here are some items to include on your list:

*giving your best friend's phone number to a hot guy (two points)

*giving your mother's phone number to a hot guy (five points)

*giving your grandmother's phone number to a hot guy and standing there while he rings it (twenty points)

*taking your bra off while in the bar (five points)

*having someone else take your bra off in the bar (fifteen points)

*getting a guy's phone number (two points each)

*getting the bartender's phone number (five points)

*having someone buy you a drink (two points)

*having someone talk dirty to you (two points)

*invent a new drink with a sexual name, and convince the bartender to make it for you (five points)

Getting Started


Are you full of ideas for a bachelorette party, but not so hot on the details? The party is all in the planning. Get the night started by bonding the group together. This can be done in a number of very simple ways, usually involving handing out some sort of emblem for the party.



Try printing out individual name badges for each guest to help them get to know each other. Keep the badges simple but cute (the worst thing in the world is being forced to wear a hideous-looking name badge).



Get each guest to take a bachelorette pledge, and drop hints of the night yet to come in the promises they make, or have the guests sign a bachelorette pledge certificate as a souvenir of the night (see the Bachelorette Pledge Certificate tip for more on this idea).



By having some form of unifying activity at the start of the night, you get everyone talking with each other right off the bat, and avoid the group splitting into its different sections if people don't know each other.

Concentrate On the Bride

Sometimes you can get more ideas for your unique bachelorette party by browsing the ideas other parties have used. Check out party supplies stores for photos and stories. These things can give you ideas for a general theme of the party, which you can build on from there. Play her old favorite songs, make her favorite snacks, and give the bride the surprise of her life by making her bachelorette party all about her.

Concentrate On the Bride

The only way to guarantee a unique bachelorette party is to concentrate on the person it is for – the bride-to-be. It is hard, at times, to extract likes and dislikes from a blushing bride at times, so you will have to make use of your present knowledge and observational skills, as well as the groom and the bride's mother. Celebrate the passing of this part of her life and the beginning of her life together with the groom by looking for things that remind her of her teenage years or early twenties single life. Ask her mother for her favorite clothes, games, toys, sports or TV shows as a child. Find out what her favorite band was as a teenager, or her favorite song, and check out the fashions of her teenage years.

Choose Your Color

All girls love food, and any good hostess should provide snacks to start the night off right. Work drinks, appetizers, and themed paper goods into your girls night out idea. If you are entertaining at home, match your color to the food served for the night – for red, serve red wine, strawberries and tomato pasta; a pink party can have rose or pink champagne and salmon mousse; green parties can use midori for cocktails; a blue party can feature a blue curacao punch and blueberry fool for dessert; orange can use orange sorbet in frozen orange skin cups, with Cointreau-stained champagne, tequila sunrises and corn chips. Select decorations to go with your girls night out ideas, or keep a look out for bachelorette party favors that will add to the fun.

Sleepover Party


Remember how fun it was to laze around a lounge-room in your PJs, snuggled up in blankets watching films with your friends? One of the coziest ideas for a bachelorette party is an old-fashioned sleepover, helping to bring back memories of innocent days when you could giggle over boys and feast all night on popcorn.



A sleepover is an easy and fun option for a different kind of bachelorette party that allows the bachelorette to relax with her friends and get a little bit closer to them before her big day.



Choose movies from the bachelorette's teenage years (think Pretty in Pink, Empire Records and the Nightmare on Elm St movie series – movies that don’t require too much concentration), instruct guests to bring treats and their favorite PJs and pillow, and heat up a big bowl of popcorn. Give everyone a drink and start off the night by asking guests to share stories of their first kiss, their first date or the subject of their first teenage poster-boy fantasy.



Try including a movie musical part-way through the night for some riotous fun.

Bachelorette Party Ideas

If you are wondering what to do at a bachelorette party there are a variety of options available for your big night out. Just like bachelor parties, bachelorette parties can run the gamut from outrageous to mellow. It all depends on the personal preferences of the bride to be and the creativity of those planning the night out. Listed below are a few options in categories such as outrageous, popular and mellow.

Outrageous Bachelorette Party Ideas:

• Passion Party – a representative from an adult store comes to demonstrate and sell various sex toys, lotions, lingerie and other items
• Learning to Strip – some gyms now offer aerobics classes focusing on stripping and arranging for a private class can be an excellent idea for a bachelorette party
• Scavenger Hunt – set up a list of tasks for the bride to be to complete throughout the night such as kissing a man with a mustache or ordering a drink with an embarrassing name

Popular Bachelorette Party Ideas:

• Bar Hopping – renting a limousine or bus and visiting several different bars or nightclubs during the night
• Dinner – many bachelorette parties include dinner at one of the best restaurants in town
• Male Stripper – just like at bachelor parties, strippers are one of the most popular forms of entertainment at a bachelorette party

Mellow Bachelorette Party Ideas:

• Spa Day – a get together at a spa for massages, facials, manicures and pedicures is a popular bachelorette party idea for a laid back bride
• Cultural Event – a mellow bride who doesn't enjoy loud parties may enjoy a play or a concert in place of a traditional bachelorette party
• Weekend Getaway – whether you go to Las Vegas or the mountains a weekend getaway is an excellent bonding experience for the bride to be and her close friends

Are They Really Meant to Be?

You don't have to break out the guide to bachelorette party bliss to paln a successful event. Get all the bachelorettes together for a great girls night. Make girly drinks, tell embarrassing stories, and reminisce about the past, pre-engagement days. Want a really great idea that will be fun for the bride-to-be? Make a list of very personal questions, "when was your first kiss" or "what was your most embarrassing moment with Katie?" or even "what do you like the best about Katie?" And, if you really want to pry, ask something like "how long does sex last?" Then, quiz the groom ahead of time. On the eve of the girls' gathering, ask the bride the same questions and see how many answers match up. This is a good opportunity to see how n' sync the bride and the groom really are.

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!

Pamper the Bride-to-Be

Ahh, the future bride's days as a bachelorette are numbered, what are her closest partners in crime to do? Send her out in style, of course! What girl doesn't love to feel beautiful? Treat your bosom buddy to a day of getting gussied up.

Start the day off shopping. Collect a pool of cash from the attendees and let the bride pick out a smashing outfit (make sure she models it and gets the vote of the crowd). Next, head off to the salon for facials, manicures, and pedicures that will leave everyone glowing. Then, to top off the day of beauty, let the guest of honor get her hair blown out. Finally, it's time to put the morning's shopping escapade to good use, put those killer outfits on ladies and head out to show them off, even if you're just planning a simple dinner. Everyone is sure to feel like a million dollars, especially the bride-to-be.

Girls Night In

Bachelorette party time? Instead of a girls night out, why not plan a girls night in, slumber party style?! Oh, I know you remember the nights you spent in your young adolescent years, giggling until dawn and just enjoying being a girl. What a great way for the future bride to spend her last single night with her closest friends! Before the night begins, set one important rule: Everyone must wear their PJs and bring sleeping bags. When the guests arrive order pizza, eat junk food, and throw some goodies into the VCR (think Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, and Pretty and Pink). Then, sit back and feel lucky that you've all survived high school. If you want to put a little more of an adult spin on this event, blend up some margaritas and play truth or dare (I'm sure the game will be a lot more interesting than when you played it in the 9th grade). You don't need a guide to bachelorette party planning or an expensive event coordinatot to pull of a great party, you just need all the girls and a place to crash!

An Elegant Evening

If you look through any guide to bachelorette party planning, you're likely to be greeted with a tasteless assortment of phallic-themed ideas. However, who says that bachelorette parties have to be tasteless and debaucherous? Plan an elegant affair instead. Lay out the white tablecloth and break out the silver and the crystal. Arrange a four course meal, even if it entails ordering from a fancy restaurant. Invite all of the girls that are the closest to the bride-to-be and tell them to wear their cocktail dresses and heels because this is a fancy dinner. For the evening let all of the ladies feel like they are VIPs at a five star restaurant. And, don't forget to break out the bubbly and give a toast to the real VIP and the guest of honor, the bride-to-be.

Dress to Impress…or Not

Don't you dare let the future bride go out in public without making a scene! This is HER night so try to get all eyes on the bride by making her a costume. Make her a veil covered in condoms and attach it to a flashing tiara. T-shirts printed with cheesy slogans or embarrassing pictures are always a hit (if you go this route, bring some permanent markers and let hunky guys decorate the shirt). A sash that reads "bachelorette" is another popular idea. Whatever you choose to dress the bride in, make sure she gets noticed and feels special. If you head out to a dance club make sure that you clue the DJ in so he can make a special announcement or even set her up with a spotlight dance.
