Today we’re guest blogging at Jet Set Girls. Check out our post on three of the hottest bachelorette party themes! Which theme do you like best: Sex in the City, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun or Slumber Party?
We’re over at BudgetAWedding.com today blogging about five fabulous ideas for bachelorette party favors. These days wedding guests aren’t the only ones who get a little token of appreciation. Bachelorette party guests deserve a little gift to remember the celebration by. So check out our ideas and let us know if you’ve got a great option for bachelorette party favors.
Forget Facebook: A Traveling Journal is a Safe Place for Bachelorette Party Pics
We all know that things can get a little crazy at bachelorette parties. But do you really want to post photos of your tabletop dance routine or your spin around the stripper pole on the Internet? These days employers– and even your grandma– will probably end up seeing the pictures you post on Facebook, MySpace or Twitter. So rather than broadcast your bachelorette party for the world to see, why not create a private space for only close friends to share those memories?
We found this really cool website called TheTravelingJournal.com. You and your bachelorette party guests can start a tradition by sharing your own Traveling Journal. Just pick out the journal style and color you like best and start filling it up with pictures and memories. Once you’re done, you pass it on to the next girl so she can add her own flare to the journal. Soon, your book will be filling up with friendship stories– and you don’t have to worry about Uncle Steve, your annoying co-worker or your 5th grade teacher seeing it. Your bachelorette party is a great time to kick off this new tradition and stay connected with your best girlfriends with a Traveling Journal.
A big trend in bachelorette parties is to have all of the guests where little black dresses, while the bride wears (of course) a white party dress! If you’re invited to a bachelorette party like this here are five hot options for the perfect little black dress.
1. BCBG- One-Shoulder Taffeta Dress, $398
You will be red carpet worthy in this hot little number from BCBG. Just be sure the bride doesn’t think you’re outshining her on her last night as a single girl.
2. Banana Republic: Silk Mini-Pleat Dress, $110
You won’t find a dress with cuter details than this LBD from Banana Republic. The price is affordable and the dress is hot enough for a bachelorette party, but innocent enough for the wedding.
3. Zappos: Volcom For a Cause Dress, on sale for $51.20
A portion of the proceeds of this Volcom dress go to Boarding for Breast Cancer so you can feel good and look good wearing it.
4. Nordstrom- As U Wish Lace Tube Dress, $64
This adorable dress from Nordstrom features a sweetheart bodice and lots of lace. But even though it looks innocent, we think it could probably get some attention on the dance floor.
5. laRock- Sheer Impact Dress, on sale for $265
This slim fit mini dress features a cool, sheer racerback with a zipper closure. It even comes with a necklace attached so you don’t have to worry about finding accessories.
Just because modern brides love posting wedding planning details on Facebook, Twitter and Flickr doesn’t mean they want their bachelorette party broadcast to the world. According to WeddingChannel.com there are plenty of digital does and don’ts when it comes to the wedding. “From Facebook and Twitter to foursquare and Flickr, when it comes to wedding guests, brides have more to worry about than just whether a guest will wear white,” says Sharon Stimpfle, deputy site director of WeddingChannel.com in a news release. “In an over-sharing online world, guests are posting Facebook status updates while they’re at the wedding and even trying to RSVP on Twitter, leaving brides feeling frustrated and over-exposed.”
Brides May Tweet, But Should Bachelorettes?
It’s probably not a good idea to send out twit pics of the bride dancing on a table at her bachelorette party or post party photos to your Facebook photo album. But if you’re a die-hard social media fan, make sure you get the bride’s permission before doing so. Forty percent of brides said posting photos online without clearance from the bride or even a heads-up was their biggest digital wedding gripe, according to a WeddingChannel.com poll.
So what do you think? Is it a bad idea to bring the bachelorette party to the world through social media? Tweet us and let us know what you think or post a comment on The House of Bachelorette’s Facebook page.

A Pole Dancing Bachelorette Party at Pole for the Soul in Seattle, Washington
Hire an at-home instructor like Pole Parties by Stacy and everything you need for a night of fun will be brought right to your door. Plus, Stacy says unlike a lot of pole dancing studios, bachelorettes are able to sip on some adult beverages at the same time. “Most studios don’t allow the ladies to enjoy cocktails in their studio, which is understandable,” says Stacy, “but a little ‘courage juice’ can sometimes help those who are a bit apprehensive!”Krisha at Seattle-based Pole for the Sole says plenty of girls are apprehensive and nervous when they show up for a pole dancing bachelorette party. But once the class gets going, most women are pleasantly surprised. “Some girls get dragged along to a pole party because the bride wanted to do it. They think they will be clumsy or feel embarrassed or intimidated,” explains Krisha. “After the party they tell me that although they didn’t expect it, they ended up having more fun than they could have imagined and found a sexy side they didn’t even know was there.”

Krisha says it’s important for all bachelorette party attendees to remember that no one is going to judge you. “It doesn’t matter if you think you can’t dance or think you have no rhythm or don’t think you are graceful,” says Krisha. “And we have women of all ages and all body sizes, everyone woman (18 and older) is welcome! We have fun and easy moves that everyone can learn and enjoy.” And if you fall in love with pole dancing during your bachelorette party, most studios offer regular classes so you can improve your skills, tap into your sexy side and master the pole. Who knows, maybe you’ll end up wanting to install your own stripper pole at home.

Pink is His Color
August 2nd was our day. We claimed it. What does that mean? Well, it means that Jason from IWearYourShirt.com wore a super cute Bachelorette t-shirt from our exclusive line, plus a bunch of other great House of Bachelorette products including beads, boas and a light-up ring. He tweeted about our products and blogged about them. Plus this video was posted on YouTube.
Here are links to the products featured in Jason’s video:
The Twitter world was abuzz when Ivanka Trump used the social media site to announce her engagement. She tweeted:
I got engaged last night…truly the happiest day of my life!!!
We couldn’t be happier for Donald’s daughter. And although we suspect her Bachelorette party may have a budget bigger than most of us paid for college tuition, we still have some suggestions for Ivanka’s last night of singledom. The daughter of a billionaire needs a party with lots of sparkle and shine. We think Ivanka would look smoking in this glittery Bride Tube Top.
It even comes with a free boa, although we’re not so sure Ivanka would be concerned about that. But hey, even rich people like a good deal! We’d continue Ivanka’s diamond theme with a fun headband complete with a giant rock.
And just in case Ivanka Trump wants just a little more sparkle on her body she can wear this huge flashing diamond ring to let every man within a five mile radius know she’s taken.
Have any suggestions for Ivanka Trump’s bachelorette party? Let us know! And Ivanka, if you happen to read this, congratulations!
