Bachelorette / Stag Night Party
Ideas
by Ron King
While bachelor parties
are a tradition dating back to the 1800s,
bachelorette parties have become popular only
recently. Bachelorette parties seem to be
more about the bride-to-be bonding with women
friends than the male tradition of enjoying
a final night of freedom before marriage.
A New Tradition
Some brides choose a night of frivolity, such
as male exotic dancers and lots of alcohol,
much like the groom's bachelor party. But
the majority of women opt for other activities.
The theme of most bachelorette parties is
to tease the bride in a fun way, while sharing
a memorable evening with her best friends.
The Nightclub Scene
This is 1 of the most popular bachelorette
activities. Parties often start with dinner
at an elegant restaurant, followed by drinks
and dancing at popular nightclubs. Hiring
a limousine to drive everyone together from
destination to destination is a great idea.
First, it allows all the women to travel together
and party in transit. Second, it adds a touch
of class to the evening. And perhaps the best
reason is to ensure that everyone arrives
safely at their destinations.
The women in the bachelorette party will often
create a veil for the bride to wear on that
night. The style of the veil isn't important,
so long as it is conspicuous and calls a great
deal of attention to the bride. It's also
typical for this type of party to send the
bride on a scavenger hunt. The other women
get together ahead of time to create a list
of activities for the bride to accomplish
or objects to find. This type of bachelorette
party is a great way for the bride to enjoy
a night of dinner, dancing, drinks and fun
with her best friends.
Retreat To A Spa
Spa retreats have become quite popular as
bachelorette party ideas. The bride-to-be
and her friends get together at a spa to enjoy
relaxing massages, facials, manicures, pedicures
and other treatments. A steam room, sauna
and/or hot tub adds an extra element of relaxation.
Some spas provide great meals from a selection
of healthy dishes. This type of bachelorette
party lets the bride relax and connect with
her friends while leaving behind the stress
of planning a wedding. Many brides get so
caught up in the details of wedding planning
that they forget to enjoy the wedding. A spa
retreat bachelorette party is a great solution.
Exotic Dance Lessons
A little more risque, but lots of fun, is
exotic dancing lessons. These parties are
becoming more common now that pole dancing
classes are beginning to spring up in health
clubs. For these parties the women gather
at a private home or a dance studio, and a
professional dancer comes in to teach them
the art of exotic dance. This can be a great
way for friends to let loose and have fun.
Night Of Feature Films
Another unique bachelorette party idea is
for the maid of honor to host a movie night.
The hostess rents plenty of movies to select
from, and stocks up on movie theater style
goodies or creates a menu of hors d'oeuvres.
This could be the bride's last chance to sit
around with her friends watching "chick flicks"
for a good long while. This is a fun, safe,
and relaxing way for the women to get together
to talk and have a good time.
Female Bonding
Although a new phenomenon, the bachelorette
party is quickly catching on. It does not
have the same feel as a bachelor party --
instead of a last night of freedom, it a night
to bond with women friends.
