Need Bachelorette Party Ideas?

I may be a little biased here but it is because I own two lingerie shops and we offer luxury lingerie at affordable prices! When it comes to marriage, girls tend to get a little mushy and sedimental. Every woman loves when her girls put a party together for her where they can all get a little wild and crazy and go out on the town to celebrate those last few days/weeks/hours of being single. Times are a changing and now we find ourselves looking for bright fun new ideas for 'together time' with your friends! Might I suggest hosting a lingerie party?

 You can do it in the privacy of your own home. We don't sell kits but you can make one from products that you select and hand pick.You can do it online via the internet websites or through choosing your selections for the bride-to-be in a catalog. The best way is via the internet. New stylish trends that several women are telling me about, and that with the help of "Skype!" Now women don't necessarily even have to be in the same place to experience excitement. Simply Delicious Lingerie as well as Simply Luscious Lingerie are great ways to not only host a party but to earn some extra pocket cash. We offer sexy lingerie, bridal lingerie, wedding day lingerie, honeymoon lingerie, and plus size bridal lingerie. Check out our website for more information. www.SimplyDeliciousLingerie.com 

When you host a party you also can ask for the 'party pleasures' and 'bachelorette boudoir' where you will find adult novelties and bachelorette fun!

Let's face it...Bachelorette Parties are not quite the time honored tradition of bachelor parties but they are increasing in popularity.Some other unique bachelorette party ideas include nightclub hopping excursions, spa retreats, dancing lessons or even a movie night. Regardless of the activity of choice the common theme in most bachelorette party is to embarrass the bride in a light-hearted and fun way that she will always remember!

Nightclub hopping is one of the most popular bachelorette party ideas. These parties often start out with a dinner at an elegant restaurant followed by stops for drinks and dancing at some of the most popular nightclubs in town. A good way to do this is to hire a limousine for the evening to drive all of the girls from destination to destination. A limousine is a great idea for a number of reasons.

 First it provides the opportunity for all the girls in the party to travel together for the evening plus it is also an elegant way to travel so it adds a sense of regality to the evening. While all of those reasons are worthwhile perhaps the most important reason to hire a car for the night is to ensure that everyone arrives safely at their destination.

 The girls in the bachelorette party will often create a veil for the bride to wear on the night of her bachelorette party. The appearance of the veil doesn’t matter as long as long as it is obtrusive and calls a great deal of attention to the bride. We sell a few fun veils at our website. It’s also typical for this type of party to send the bride on a scavenger hunt on the night of her bachelorette party. The other girls will usually get together ahead of time and create a list of activities for the bride to accomplish or objects to obtain. This type of bachelorette party is a great way for the bride to enjoy a night of dinner, dancing and drinks with her friends.

Spa retreats are another popular bachelorette party idea. For this party idea the bride to be and her friends get together at a spa where they can enjoy relaxing massages, facials, manicures, pedicures and other treatments while also making use of steam rooms, saunas and hot tubs. In addition to all of the treatments available most spas also provide wonderful meals chosen from a menu of low fat dishes. This type of bachelorette party offers the bride the chance to relax and connect with her friends while forgetting about all the stress involved with planning a wedding. Many brides get too caught up in the minute details that they forget to enjoy the process of planning but a spa retreat bachelorette party is the perfect remedy for this situation. 

Still another popular bachelorette party idea that is a little more risqué is a night of exotic dancing lessons. These types of parties are becoming increasingly popular especially as classes such as pole dance classes are beginning to spring up in popular health clubs. For these parties the girls usually gather either at a private home or a dance studio and a professional dancer comes in to teach the girls about the art of seduction through exotic dance. This can be a fun way for the girls to let loose and have fun and may inspire the bride to be to try out a few new moves on her wedding night. 

Another unique bachelorette party idea is for the maid of honor to host a movie night. The host could make sure to rent plenty of movies that the girls will enjoy and stock up on movie theater style goodies or create her own menu of hors devours. After the bride is married she will most likely make a lot of compromises in movie choices but her bachelorette party movie night could be her last chance to sit around with her friends watching tearjerker or romantic movies. This type of bachelorette party is just a fun way for the girl to get together to talk and have a good time together. 

The bachelorette party is a relatively new phenomenon over the past 10 years or so, and it is much different than what my friends planned for me back in the day...but now,  the idea is picking up steam and bachelorette parties are becoming more prevalent. The bachelorette party does not have the same connotations as a bachelor party. They are generally not seen as last nights of freedom but rather a night to bond with the girls. Have a great time doing whatever you choose to do and remember, friends are friends forever! Go have some fun!

Hosting a Bridal Shower....the "Where To's and How To's"

Every day women are getting engaged and those whom are closest to them begin planning their bridal shower. As you know, when you're planning a bridal shower, you want everything to be perfect and something to always remember. From the theme, to the decorations, to the food, and to the games everything must be just right. With that in mind, special attention needs to also be placed on where your bridal shower will be located. So, where do you choose to have it? The location of your bridal shower can have a huge impact on how your bridal shower theme turns out. It can also lend itself naturally to some wonderful activities that will be memorable for all that attend. I've listed below a variety of places to host a bridal shower. You be the judge to decide what fits the style of the bride to be the best,..because after all, it is about her, not you. 

A Private Home or Apartment

When choosing to have the shower at a private home, the options really are wide open. If you are a traditionalist, then the bridal shower should be held at the maid of honor’s home. It is, however, perfectly fine to have the bridal shower at the home of the bride or at the bride or groom’s parent’s house, or at anybody else’s home you desire. There really are no restrictions as to whose house you can have the bridal shower at. Just be sure to choose a home that is spacious enough to accommodate all of your guests. Don’t forget that the presents will take up space, too! And, somehow, they seem to take up even more space after they are open, so be sure there is plenty of room for the gifts both before and after they are opened. You don’t want to be crowded or cramped in any way, that makes it uncomfortable and you want your guests to feel at ease, and quite relaxed!

If you or someone you know lives in an apartment complex, you might also want to look into having the bridal shower on the roof top of the apartment. When I lived in Houston Texas, they did this a lot and it was beautiful looking out over the city after the sun started to go down. Evenings are also cooler, although in Houston, it never really cools down. On a porch/roof top, this area is quite spacious and can be a great deal of fun. Empty lofts are another option of living space turned to bridal shower location. You also need to be sure the home is located somewhere the bride and all of her guests can easily locate and get to. Your home may seem “perfect” in every way, but it won’t matter if no one can find it or if it is so far out of the way that it becomes a hassle.

A Park

A park can offer a pleasant outdoor atmosphere to be enjoyed by all guests. Often, parks have picnic areas that you can use to BBQ some enjoyable treats for guests. A park also lends itself naturally to fun outdoor activities for a “sports” or “outdoors” bridal shower theme.

A Bowling Alley

Many women are choosing to just go out for a night of bowling and pizza for their bridal shower. Typically, this would be a smaller group of women, such as just the bridal party. A bowling alley bridal shower does, however, lend itself well to a co-ed bridal shower because the atmosphere is relaxed and enjoyable for the men, as well.

A Room in the Community Center or a Hall

A room in community center or a rented hall can be great for a bridal shower. Typically, these spaces were designed with special activities such as bridal showers in mind. Therefore, there should be plenty of space available for whatever your needs may be.

A Bar or Club

Sometimes, there is just nothing better than just going to a bar or club, particularly if those invited to your bridal shower enjoy dancing and having a “girls night out.” Just be sure to only invite those you know would be comfortable in this type of environment. A bar or club is also a good place to have a coed bridal shower.

A Room at Country Club or the Spa

Spending a day at the spa has become an increasingly popular bridal shower trend. This is generally a smaller party, as going to the spa can become quite costly. Often, just the women who are members of the bridal party enjoy this bridal shower. To spend a day at the spa, everyone usually signs up for two or three spa services. The job of the hostess is to ensure the space is available at the spa and to reserve a spot for lunch. At this time, gifts can be exchanged. Or, the guests might combine their money to pay for the spa treatment for the bride-to-be.

A Boat or Yacht

Renting a boat or Yacht for the day can be a great place for a bridal shower. If I were to get married again, my girlfriends would do this for me because I love the water...(hint hint!) You and your guests can enjoy the scenery and have a great time sailing away. A boat or a yacht can be perfect for a themed bridal shower, particularly if the bride-to-be enjoys sailing or likes gifts with a nautical theme, such as dolphins.

A Restaurant

Restaurant showers are gaining in popularity. This is largely because there is no clean up required afterward and it requires very little preparation. It is customary to pay for the food for guests invited to a bridal shower. You can, however, expect the guests to pay for their own meals and drinks while you provide dessert or a cake. Or, you can put a cap on the spending or only pay for pre-selected foods and drinks. If you won’t be paying for all of the food and drinks, be sure your guests are well aware ahead of time. In fact, this information should be included on the invitation.

Where ever you choose to have the shower, remember to plan ahead, order enough food and send the invitations out early enough so that people plan accordingly. Also, make sure that you get registered at the stores that you like so that your guests know what you want. This makes it easy on everyone, and you don't spend all your time after the honeymoon returning duplicated items! 


Make the shower festive, memorable and take a lot of photos! If you are looking to have a more intimate party amongst the 'girls' consider hosting a party online or in your home (a catalog/website) lingerie party where orders are placed in privacy, it's fun, easy and the host earns commission for simply having the party!
