Last Minute Bachelorette Party Ideas

Tea Party

As the Maid of honor, it’s primarily your job to plan for the bachelorette’s party. The important thing to note when planning a tea party is the time. What time of the day will be okay for the bride and her friends? You can choose to host your party mid-afternoon or late-afternoon. Tea can be consumed between 3:00 pm – 4:30 pm. Deciding on the type of tea to serve is also an integral part of the tea party. Popularly served tea at tea parties are green tea, tisane (or herbal tea) and decaf tea for those that are sensitive to coffee. The type of condiments and milk to serve in a tea party depends on the guest and how they prefer to take their tea. The food menu at a tea party is as important as the type of tea that is served. Your menu may constitute finger sandwiches like salad, cucumber tea sandwiches, smoked salmon finger sandwich, roast beef finger sandwich, ham, chicken sandwiches. Pastries like knick-knacks, and other sandwich recipes you think of. Sweet scones, sponge cakes, cupcakes, trifles, soup, seasoned nuts like cheese and crackers can be part of your tea party menu. Your menu is not complete without beverages like tea cocktails and champagne. Don’t forget to use brilliant colors in decorating. Colors like gold colors, pink and glitter garlands are good for decorating a tea party. Your table should be cover in china and silver linens. I can surely guarantee that your bachelorette tea party will be wonderful if you follow these tea party planning steps.

Spa Day

Planning a wedding can be exhausting. There’s no better way for the bride to unwind and free her mind of all worries and at the same time spend time with her best friends, than spending a day in the spa. Looking good is good business, and you would like the bride to look her best on her wedding day, so a day spent in the spa is no waste. After all, we need a little rest every now and then. What spells bonding clearly than a day in the spa with the bride and her friends? There are lots of special treatments for you to choose from. From manicure to pedicures, face masks, whole body massage, and mudding. Mudding other than it being a good way for the bride to spend time with her friends detoxifies and rejuvenates the body. If money is no object for you and your friends, whole body massage is an excellent way for the bride to spend her last days as a single lady with breaks at intervals for snacks and cocktails or whatever you want. The ultimate goal is to ensure that the bride and her friends are happy. Lots of Spa resorts would offer interesting discounts to a bunch of girls in matching outfits, celebrating the bachelorette, so don’t be shy to ask for a discount. The fun part of a day at the spa is that it offers you and your friends time to bond and make up for lost time. When looking for a Spa for the bride and her friends, you should always consider the size of the group you have. Most Spas can comfortably accommodate 6-12 girls at a time. You can use a mobile Spa by ordering for a home service when dealing with a larger group of more than twelve (12).

Horseback Riding

Horseback riding is also an interestingly fun way for the bride and her friends to spend the evening during a bachelorette party. Though you don’t get to choose the horse to ride by yourself, you will be assigned a trainer or a guide who will show you what to do to prevent falling off the horse. You can also decide on the type of saddle you want, either an English or a British saddle. Though horseback riding could be as fun as it gets, you should come to the ranch adequately dressed. It’s better to wear boots instead of high heels. You should put on long trousers and long sleeves when going for horseback riding. Always remember to ask for a discount since you are here as a group and don’t be shy about it.

Local Concert

Going to a local concert with the bride and her friends is a great way to spend your bachelorette party weekend or day. If you are lucky that a music concert is happening on the same day with your bachelorette party, take advantage and show up with the bride, the bridesmaids, and friends. You can go to a comedy concert,  go to a drag show and sit in the front row; chances are the bride will be picked and asked to volunteer for a performance. You can see an exotic dancer’s performance or go to whichever shop the bride is interested in. You can choose one of these shows or hop between shows. The idea is for the bride to have fun with lots of booze to go round. If the bachelorette party is on the eve of the wedding, you should ensure the bride consumes little alcohol, so she doesn’t wake up with a killer hangover on her wedding day.
