Bachelorette parties are not just the night before the wedding anymore, they are full on weekends! The fastest way to unite a group of girls over a trip... is a theme.
It helps embrace the location you're going to, the type of clothes you want your friends to wear, and what kind of vibe you want to go for. The power of the bride is: you say, they do!
The best way to choose a theme is to first think about what you would like to be doing during your bachelorette party. Are you wanting to club hop? Sit on the beach? Go skiing? The options are endless! And your choice will be the best one because it will be most you! My best advice is to stick to your vibe and not try to do something just because you feel like you have to. If you would rather stay on the couch and watch movies with your girlfriends - I have themes for that too!
If you are indecisive, you can choose a different theme for each night!
Maybe you want to keep it calm and go for a boat ride on your first night (Last Sail Before The Veil) and then for the second night, you want to go out dancing (Save The Last Dance). The more specific you about what you want to do, the easier it will be for everyone to bring your vision to life!
I also have a whole list of Bridal Shower Theme Ideas that you could also apply to your Bachelorette party.
