A High-Flying Trapeze Bachelorette Party
Some brides are giving new meaning to the “hangover.” A healthy and adrenaline-filled alternative to the traditional bachelorette party is having it at a trapeze class. Recently, newspapers interviewed 25-year-old bride-to-be Nicki Bonebrake who says the day after her bachelorette party she could barely get out of bed– and not because she drank too much. Her body was exhausted after learning the trapeze. “I couldn’t lift my arms. I put on deodorant and it hurt,” Bonebrake told reporters. “It was the good kind of sore.”
Bonebrake is like many impending brides, health conscious. She plays volleyball, coed flag football and attends yoga. That’s why when it came time to choose a bachelorette party activity, trapeze came out at the top of her list. It’s a great way to burn calories and build muscle tone before your big day.
Need help finding a trapeze school for your bachelorette party? Check these out:
Trapeze School, locations in New York, Washington DC, Boston, LA, and Chicago.

Forget Strippers: Hire Butlers for Your Bachelorette Party
Looking for a way to make your bachelorette party unforgettable? Strippers have been around for decades, but a Florida company is bringing hot men to the bachelorette party scene in a brand new way. Butlers in the Buff bring hunky, toned men to your party, ready to serve drinks and nibbles all night long. Unlike the British butlers you see on Downton Abbey, these men are less clothed. They wear a white collar, bow-tie, a tiny apron, and of course, a smile.
The concept started in the UK about a decade ago and was recently brought to the US. Right now Butlers in the Buff are available in Florida where 75 men ar
e ready to bring their six-pack to your bachelorette party. The company says you can request to have your butler pull on black boxer briefs or black dress pants if it’s more appropriate for your event.
Having a hot many wait on you for the evening isn’t necessarily cheap, but the company promises you’re getting service with a smile. The rate for a Butler in the Buff to the general public is $85 per butler, per hour plus travel. What do you think– would you like a scantily clad, sexy butler serving you at your bachelorette party?

Need Something Pink for October?
There are plenty of pink parties and breast cancer awareness events happening in October. If you need a great pink accessory, The House of Bachelorette has you covered! Over the last two years we’ve supplied tens of thousands of feather boas to destinations all over the US and of course pink is our most popular color!
Besides boas that can be worn around the neck, we’ve also got cute pink fab feather bracelet that sells for just $1.99. Need something to wear up top? How about an adorable pink tiara? It’s marked down to $4.39 and comes trimmed out with pink marabou feathers. And if you happen to be a bachelorette, bride, or maid-of-honor celebrating Breast Cancer Awareness Month you’ll love our Gem Tanks in soft pink.
According to breastcancer.org roughly one in eight women in the US will develop invasive breast cancer at some point in her life. It’s a serious problem, but if we all pull together there is no reason why we can’t uncover a cure. And we may as well look cute in pink while we do it!
Bachelor Pad Winner Holly Durst Enjoying The “Bride To Be” Title
Blake Julian and His Bride-to-be Holly Durst Modeling a Sash From The House of Bachelorette
It’s been a pretty great couple of months for reality TV star Holly Durst. Not only did she meet her hunky new finance Blake Julian and get engaged in front of millions of people, but she also won $125,000 on the Bachelor Pad finale. The House of Bachelorette caught up with Holly last week at a benefit for Water of Life, a non-profit digging wells in Third World countries.
Of course since we knew we were going to be meeting up with one of the hottest couples in reality TV right now, we wanted to give Holly a little engagement gift. We packed one of our popular bride totes full of fun stuff including a feather boa, the Perfect Bride To Be Tiara and a white Bride Tank. She loved her Super Bling Sash so much she even modeled it for us! These are a brand new item for The House of Bachelorette and we were excited Holly was one of the first to wear this fun accessory!
Holly and her fiance Blake Julian are now calling Greenville, South Carolina home. Blake is opening up a new dental practice this week and Holly is putting the finishing touches on her children’s book Chocolate Socks. They haven’t announced a wedding date yet but we wish them the best! And we bet Holly’s bachelorette party will be a night to remember!
