Bachelorette Party Favors

We interviewed our Bachelorette Party Favors expert Carla Eustache of Style Perfect Events, to answer a few of the most common questions she gets:

Do you get a gift for a bachelorette party?

Gifts for the bride are not necessary for a bachelorette party, as traditionally the maid of honor and bridesmaids plan and pay for all bachelorette festivities including costs for the bride, and the bride spends her time preparing for the big day instead.

Gifts for the bride tribe have become increasingly popular. Brides are gifting everyone attending the bachelorette party with a personalized gift, especially if everyone is traveling for the event. A little gift that shows your appreciation for everyone joining in is always nice. The goal is for the bride and her guests to bond and have a blast before the wedding.

What is a good gift for a bachelorette party?

Anything personalized is always a nice gift for the bride tribe: robe, pajamas, sun hat, swimsuit, wine glass, luggage tags, etc. Treating your girls to a little rest and relaxation is also a great idea with spa treatments such as massages, mani/pedis, and facials.

Tote bags filled with goodies are also fun! You can include mini bottles of liquor, lipstick, sunglasses, gag gift and sweet treats.

What goes in a bachelorette survival kit?

Aspirin, gatorade, mints, Tums, eye drops, shot glasses, hair ties, stain and makeup remover wipes, water, sunglasses, eye masks, and nail files are all great ideas.

What is the difference between a bridal shower and a bachelorette party?

The bachelorette party is a time for the bride to let her hair down, forget about wedding planning and hang out and have a blast with friends. The bachelorette party is a more intimate affair with a bride’s closest circle of friends; siblings, college roommates, childhood best friends, cousins, and so forth.

The bridal shower is meant to “shower” the bride with love, gifts and encouragement for her new life as a married woman. It’s a nice occasion for the bride to spend relaxed time with her family and friends before the big wedding day. Games are played, funny stories are shared and advice is given to the bride.

What are some fun things to do for a bachelorette party?

Selecting a theme for the bachelorette party will help guide the activities. Here’s a fun list of things to do: wine tasting, going on a distillery tour, chartering a small boat or yacht, booking a glam squad for a fun night out on the town, setting up a scavenger hunt, going to a casino, treating yourself to a spa day, and trying a unique class (cooking, trapeze, soulcycle, ballet barre, pole dancing, rock climbing etc.).

What does the bride do for the bachelorette party?

The bride sets the parameters of the bachelorette party: does she want to travel or stay local? She also discusses with her bridesmaids any wants or concerns she has about the bachelorette party. If she wants the activities to stay within a certain price range so that everyone can attend, the bride should let her bridesmaids know what she is comfortable with for the event.

If you're a bride-to-be, think carefully about the guest list and invite your best girl friends who you are excited to celebrate with. Be sure to provide your bridesmaids with the contact information for your invitees rather than have them guess about whom to invite. Traditionally, the maid of honor and bridesmaids plan and pay for all bachelorette festivities, and the bride spends her time preparing for the big day instead.
