Bachelorette parties are all about friendships. It’s a night to put one gorgeous girl in the spotlight, bringing together her best friends from all stages in life. And did you know that September is Women’s Friendship Month? What better way to honor your friends than with an adorable, fun, meaningful gift from The House of Bachelorette? Need some ideas? Here are three gifts that will help you celebrate Women’s Friendship Month with the ladies you love most:

Bride-To-Be Autograph Frame: Forget celebrities, the only autographs most brides care about are the ones from the people she loves most. With the Bride-To-Be Autograph frame you can give her your advice for a happy marriage because, let’s face it, your advice means a lot!

Coordinating Can Koozies: It’s pink, feathery AND it keeps your drink nice and cold. What more could you ask for in a can koozie? Pick up a coordinating one for the bride, maid-of-honor and bridesmaid.

Matching Tank Tops: Friends can share a lot of things– including cute tank tops! The House of Bachelorette offers rhinestone tanks in a variety of colors featuring sparkly words like “bride,” “bachelorette” and “maid of honor.”

I recently stumbled across this adorable DIY tutorial that could make a lovely bachelorette party gift! I found it on Hostess with the Mostess and was so inspired. Jewelry making is really fun or you could simply buy your own earrings and design the card to attach them to. Make sure to print a fun message that fits with the bachelorette party theme.

Instead of making such a girly sack to put your gift in you could spice it up with some animal print fabric or even throw in some additional party favors from The House of Bachelorette. Have you made the perfect party favor for your bachelorette party? We’d love to hear about it!

We found some super cute bachelorette party invitations over on Shutterfly. Don’t settle for word of mouth or a Facebook invite. Instead step up your bachelorette party by sending out one of these hot bachelorette invites:

And right now you can get five bachelorette party invitations for free from Shutterfly! Use promo code CARD4GRAD at checkout. If you have the cards sent to you you’ll pay just $.99 for shipping. This offer ends 5/25. Have fun ladies!

Spa days and dance parties are great ways to spend your bachelorette party. But what about brides who long for more adventure and thrill? There are many ways to have an adventurous bachelorette party. Need some crazy ideas? Here are a few:

Pile the Girls Into a Whitewater Raft

Whitewater Rafting

When you celebrate the end of the single life with a whitewater rafting trip you’ll have all of the adventure with none of the regrets. (And no hangover in the morning either!) Check out River Runners, a Colorado whitewater rafting company offering a variety of packages perfect for bachelorettes. You can head out on the water for a few hours or an entire weekend. River Runners offers special rates for bachelorette parties. “We have seen an increase in bookings for bachelor parties the past few seasons and our Riverside Rafting Resort is an excellent place to host a party,” said Eileen Peterson, general manager at River Runners. “These are just two of the many reasons why we have decided to offer special packages that cater to bachelor and bachelorette parties. Colorado whitewater rafting is a unique alternative for those looking for an active way to celebrate the end of bachelorhood that is both memorable and offers no regrets.”

Swim With Dolphins

Most women love the idea of getting in the water with a dolphin. Grabbing that fin and holding on tight for a swim around a pool sounds like quite the thrill. Make this adventure part of your bachelorette party with the help of Dolphin World. They have dolphin swimming experiences available at a variety of Florida locations so you can choose the best one for your bachelorette party.

Drive a Race Car

With the Richard Petty Driving Experience you can feel what it’s like to cruise around a NASCAR track. You and your bachelorette party girls will have fun suiting up and getting behind the wheel (or sitting in the passenger seat) during your race car experience. This is definitely a bachelorette party to remember– and one the groom will likely be a bit jealous of!

Bungee Jumping

After jumping off a bridge walking down the aisle will seem like a piece of cake! Grab the girls and head to one of several bungee jumping locations in the US for a bachelorette party like no other. We found this list of US bungee jumping locations to get your party planning started. Now all you have to do is convince the rest of the girls to sign up.

Looking for a Wet and Wild Bachelorette Party?

According to some entertainment news sources, Prince William has decided to have a bachelor party at sea. That way he can have fun and privacy without worrying about paparazzi. While most brides-to-be don’t have to worry about the paps crashing their bash, the idea of celebrating the single life at sea does sound fun! A bachelorette party can get crazy, so why not take a cue from the Prince himself and have a wet and wild bachelorette party?

If you want to have a bachelorette party at sea you’ll definitely want to hit up TheHouseofBachelorette.com first for some supplies. No need for the tight black dress and uncomfortable pumps– look the part with this tropical Hawaiian bra top. Grab some pink beach balls, just $1.99, to play with and pose with for great bachelorette party pictures. Give each girl their own flower hair clip, $.99, to wear during the party and as a momento for remembering your fun party at sea.

According to reports, Prince Harry will be at this bachelor party along with 20 of William’s closest friends. We’re still waiting to hear what his bride Kate Middleton will be up to for her bachelorette party. Any guesses?

Have a Hangover Bachelorette Party

We were totally inspired by the completely creative “Hangover” themed anniversary party we saw on Hostess with the Mostess. We think this could make a truly epic bachelorette party theme! The party hosts got creative giving guests props like cutouts of Hangover characters, hospital bracelets and even blow up dice.

The great news is, pulling this off for your bachelorette party will be super easy with the help of The House of Bachelorette! Here are some must-haves for throwing the hottest Hangover-themed bachelorette party:

• Aviators for everyone! This would make a great party favor for $8.99 each.
• Casino Night in a Box– you’ll get cards, poker chips, dice, a game mat and more to set the scene.
• A fluffy feather boa, because that’s just so Vegas!
• A diamond ring, just like the one Heather Graham (Jade) received.
• A set of shot glasses so you can start the night with a Jager toast, just like in the movie.

The Bachelorette Tiara T comes in Small to 2XL!

Know a bride getting hitched in 2011? Why not help her get a jumpstart on the bachelorette party fun with a bachelorette party t-shirt this Christmas? She’ll love that you were thoughtful enough to think of her upcoming special day.

The House of Bachelorette has tons of tees to choose from include the super hot Bachelorette Tiara T in Black! It comes in sizes ranging from small to 2XL. Plus right now when you purchase this t-shirt you’ll get a free feather boa! It’s up to you if you want to give that to the bride as well– or just keep it as a little gift for yourself!

Congrats on the Engagement Kate and William!

Prince William and his new fiance Kate Middleton posed for pictures at St. James’s Palace. Middleton calls the thought of being a future queen “a daunting prospect.” Prince William popped the question in Kenya last month, slipping his mother’s oval blue sapphire on the finger of his bride-to-be.

We here at The House of Bachelorette feel for Kate Middleton. Not only is she entering a somewhat crazy family, she has the pressure of being proper and staying out of the tabloids. We think that’s the perfect reason to let her hair down at a bachelorette party fit for a princess.

Before being forced to carry the weight of a real jewel-encrusted crown, we think Kate should have some fun wearing this Bride-to-Be Pink Tiara complete with flashing lights. We’re sure the Queen wouldn’t mind one of these pink beauties for herself!

For disguising herself from the paparazzi we suggest that Kate throw on a pair of these Heart Throb Shades. No one will know a future queen is hiding under there.

There’s no doubt Kate Middleton probably has a lot of people trying to tell her what to say, how to act and what to wear she may find these Decision Dice very helpful. They’re fun, informative and extremely useful.

Time Running Out to Plan Your Bachelorette Party?

Judging by the number of our customers that request overnight shipping, we know that planning a last minute bachelorette party happens all the time. So if you’re faced with only a few days for planning a big bash, just know that you are not alone! Just follow these five steps and you’ll be on your way to an unforgettable bachelorette night.

Step One: Talk to the Bride

Most bachelorette parties aren’t planned by the bride, but they are planned for her. So make sure she gets what she wants. Ask her what she has in mind, who she wants invited, and how she wants to celebrate her last night as a single girl.

Step Two: Send Out Invites

It won’t be much of a party if no one shows up. Use a site like Pingg.com or Evite.com. Both sites offer exclusive bachelorette party designs.

Step Three: Pick a Theme

You probably know the bride pretty well. So you know what theme would have her as giddy as a school girl. The House of Bachelorette makes it easy to shop by theme– whether your bride is a little bit naughty or more of a nice girl.

Step Four: Place Your Order

Buy your party decorations, games and favors from The House of Bachelorette. Orders received before 1pm are eligible for overnight shipping.

Step Five: Get Your Party On!

Now that you’ve got your girls and your party supplies, all that’s left to do is have fun and make memories!
