We’ve all seen it before…tacky bachelorette groups out at the bars – proudly wearing hot pink sashes, tiaras, phallic symbols…. In fact, we may have been a part of such a debauchery before too… But, because one of my very good friends is getting married soon (and I am the maid of honor), I decided to plan her bachelorette a little differently. That’s right, a bachelorette party without all the tackiness! Can it be done? Click here to see our most recent bachelorette party photoshoot at the Andaz San Diego – lots of great bachelorette party ideas!
Nice-Girl Bachelorette 101:
The first step in throwing the party is coming up with the menu. Our bride loves margaritas, so I wanted to plan the menu around that. Since we are a health-conscious group, I bought a ton of Skinnygirl Margaritas and champagne to toast! For edibles, I prepared homemade guacamole with lime tortillas;lowfat lobster pasta salad(for an inexpensive alternative, substitute the lobster for lump crab); jalapeno popper dip; salami and gourmet cheese with rosemary crackers; and fresh fruit. Quite the menu, but it’s simple and looked great! Wouldn’t you agree?
2. Games
Another party necessity is preparing fun activities for the partygoers. After drinks and snack, it was finally time to bring out the party games! One of my favorite games is where I sent the groom a list of questions to answer in advance, without the bride knowing! The bride-to-be was asked to to answer the same questions while at the party. The goal here is that she will answer with the same responses as the groom-to-be. This game is really cute, I definitely recommend this for your bachelorette parties too!
