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.

Katy Perry

Katy Perry’s getting married and that means Katy Perry is getting a bachelorette bash! The celebrity rocker is reportedly saying goodbye to the single life with a wild party hosted by her best friend Rihanna. Now we trust that Rihanna can organize a pretty rockin’ party all on her own, but we wanted to offer some suggestions for the best bachelorette party accessories that will make Katy Perry’s celebration even hotter. So here are our picks for Katy Perry’s celebrity bachelorette party:

1. The GIANT Pink Bride’s Cup: Katy Perry does everything BIG. So we want to give her the GIANT Pink Bride’s Cup. It’s hot pink, covered in sparkles and makes drinking the night away even more fun.

2. The Wedding Ring Shot Glass: Seriously– is there a more fun way to take a shot? This Wedding Ring Shot Glass fits snugly onto the bride-to-be’s finger so she’s ready for a shot no matter where she is. And this accessory is only $1.19!

3. Click ‘N Strip Male Pen: Just because it’s her bachelorette party doesn’t mean Katy Perry won’t be signing autographs. That’s why we think the Click ‘N Strip Male Pen is the perfect bachelorette party accessory!

4. Handcuff Shades: Katy Perry is known for her bold sense of style so we think she would love showing off these these Handcuff Shades on her last night of being single.

5. Jackpot Bead Necklace: Since we know Katy Perry loves waking up in Vegas, we thought we’d throw a little Sin City into her bachelorette party with the Jackpot Bead Necklace. And no matter how wild Katy Perry’s bachelorette party gets, we’re sure Russell Brand will be even crazier.

Not only can your Bachelorette Party be one of the best nights of your life, it can also be FREE! With a little ingenuity, boldness and can-do attitude you will be enjoying FREE STUFF and having a BLAST doing it!

Before I tell you about the FREE STUFF you can get, there are a couple of key things you must remember when looking to enjoy a FREE wild night with your Bachelorette Party:

• Invite lots of Girlfriends to your Bachelorette Party : The more the merrier when it comes to Bachelorette Parties. This is a great time to rekindle old friendships, and get together with people you haven’t seen in a long time.
• Make certain all of you invitees look smoking-hot! : This is very important if you want to make BIG BUCKS! Your girlfriends and the overall impression of your bachelorette entourage will help you get TOP $$$! This is not a night to skip the make-up and throw your hair in a pony tail - Do it UP!
• Dress the entire Bachelorette Party in a color or theme! : When people see your Bachelorette Party at a club you want them to know that you are all together. The Best Themes are SEXY i.e. Beach, VEGAS, Diva…you get the idea…

Now I know what you are thinking - Where is the FREE stuff? Well see below just a partial list of what you can enjoy for FREE with your Bachelorette Party!

• FREE Club Entry : This is an easy one. What club wouldn’t want your HUGE group of Gorgeous girls to come to their club. Club owners know that Bachelorette Parties generate lot’s of $$ for them with lot’s of drinks purchased. Arrive early and you will have an easier time getting your FREE entry! 

• FREE Drinks : Another easy one right? Maybe. The Bride certainly can get lot’s of FREE drinks, but what about the Bachelorettes? Try a Drinking Game where the Bride-to-be never drinks alone…or a contest where the Bachelorettes can’t buy there own drinks, but the one with the most drinks after 30 minutes Wins a prize. These games make great conversation starters and all the Bachelorettes can have a BLAST! 

• FREE Party Invitations : Check out the Free Party invitations at EVITE under Bachelorette Party. My favorite is the Dance Party invite…Click here to check it out… Featuring a disco ball and wild girl dancers.  Be sure and check out our review of the Best and the Worst FREE Bachelorette Party Invites on the web!

Your Bachelorette Party can be the BEST NIGHT of your life but you know what will make it even better (?!) - MAKING MONEY while have a great time with your closest friends!

Yes, you heard me correctly…you can actually make money while partying! So why not make a little extra cash to pay off those wedding debts…or help pay for that extravagant honey moon to Belize…whatever your heart desires…after all, you are the BRIDE!

3 Easy Ways to MAKE MONEY at your Bachelorette Party:

• The Suck-a-Buck T-shirt - Yes, the Suck a buck t-shirt is a time honored tradition among Bachelorette Party-Goers. For those of you who are unfamiliar it is a t-shirt with candy attached that Men can remove for a small payment (normally $1.00). This is NOT for a timid bride. If you are a HOT Bride-to-Be you can charge more (try $5.00 to start) but expect some groping! Traditionally the candies on your chest get an up charge (usually $+5.00). The Bride should NOT be the one negotiating with the Men!…it is the bachelorettes duty to work the Suck-a-buck t-shirt deals. ###For BOLD Brides only###!

• The Suck-a-Buck Bouquet - For some less-racy FUN the Suck-a-Buck Bouquet is the same idea with less hands-on activity for the guys. The Suck-a-Buck Bouquet consists of a bouquet of lollipops (such as Tootsie-pops) bundled together into a “bridal Bouquet”. Each of these lollipops can be sold for $1.00 each. Don’t expect to get more than $1.00 - without groping, most guys are less free with the $$$. A Bachelorette or the Maid-of-Honor should make the Suck-a-Buck Bouquet and present it to the bride. Again the bride should not have to hock her candies…that is the Bachelorettes job. ###For All Brides ###

• The Beads-4Bucks Game - This is really a Bachelorette party Game that can be for profit. Start with a bunch of Cool (Mardi Gras style) beads. Sell your beads for $1.00 each. The great thing about this game is ALL the Bachelorettes can participate (not just the bride). ###For ALL Brides & BACHELORETTES ###!

The Bachelorette PARETY BAG, SWAG BAG or GIFT BAG is a key component of any World’s Best Bachelorette Party. A Party Bag is basically a bag full of goodies that will accomplish the following:

• Commemorate the Bride’s Special Night Out

• Reinforce the Bachelorette Party Theme

• Provide Supplies for Party Games

Now…What to fill your bag with to accomplish these 3 things? …Below find some ideas:

• Something Funny - Get the night off to a hilarious start with some funny items in the gift bag!  Try a funny magnet, a hilarious sticker set, or other FUN item!
• A Cute Notepad- A Notepad is perfect for the Bachelorette who wants to get lot’s of phone numbers on the Bachelorette Night! Make sure you also add a cool pen for her to write them down!
• Something Naughty- A naughty item is a must for every Bachelorette Party!  So many choices: Try a Naughty Straw, a click & Strip Pen, a deck of sexy studs playing cards, or a man-meat shaped sucker!  All are favorites of Bachelorettes everywhere!
• A Feather Boa - The feather boa says SEXY and LET’s PARTY….so it is a MUST for every swag bag! Don’t pick white! That color is reserved for the bride! Try PINK or RED…or BLACK if your feeling Naughty!
• Party Beads - What better treat for your Bachelorettes than some beads she can use throughout the night to get boys to do crazy things for her. Pick hearts or kisses or something to match your theme and watch the FUN they bring!
• Temporary Tattoos - A great addition to any gift bag, pick tattoos that match your theme and put them in unexpected places! Your Bachelorettes will have FUN all night showing off their “naughty girl” side!
• The Bachelorette T-Shirt - Picking a great t-shirt is key to setting the right mood for your party. It should reinforce your theme and be a sexy fit!
• A Party Hat - Nothing says party like a party hat! To make your Bachelorette Party really special grab all the girls a hat that follows the theme of the party (tiaras, furry pimp hat…you get the idea). If you don’t get a party hat for every girl…make sure you grab one for the bride! This is her night!

Looking for some GREAT gift ideas? Here are some great gift ideas for Bride at the Bachelorette Party!

“Naughty” Gift Ideas: These are great gift ideas if the bride is a close friend, and her Mother/Father/Minister/Mother-in-Law are NOT going to be present at the Party! Try a Naughty Book or naughty Coupon Book, a Feather Fan for the Bedroom, or an entire stripper pole for the couple to enjoy in the privacy of their own bedroom!  These are usually Groom favorites!

• Lingerie - If you buy this kind of item be sure to pick something that is really special or out of the ordinary. Buy an item in the brides favorite colors (or better yet in her wedding colors) or buy something that she would never buy for herself. Remember the wedding night is coming up and she will need LOT’s of sexy lingerie to make it the World Best Honeymoon!
• Bedroom Supplies- Bedroom supplies such as lotions, creams, battery powered pleasure devices, etc. make great gifts at the Bachelorette Party. Not only do these come in handy for the honeymoon, but they can be the gift that keeps on giving!
• Naughty Books or Games - These “For the Bedroom” Books or Games are fun gifts for the bride and groom and can provide great entertainment at the Bachelorette Party!

“Tried & True” Gift Ideas: These are great gift ideas even if the bride is just an acquaintance. Just make certain to check with the Bachelorette organizer (probably the MOH) and make certain she didn’t already purchase these items.

• Bachelorette Night “Must Haves” for the Bride- This list includes the Bachelorette Tiara or Veil, the Feather Boa and the Suck-a-Buck Bouquet or a sexy Bachelorette T-shirt. These are MUSTs for any bride on her Bachelorette Party Night and will be MUCH appreciated gifts.
• Pre or Post Wedding Spa Treatments for the Bride - A wedding is a stressful time and what bride wouldn’t appreciate an opportunity to pamper herself?! Try a gift certificate for a massage, or pedicure, or a luxurious facial. To make it even more special be sure to purchase the service at the brides favorite Salon or Spa.
• Booze- You can never go wrong with a bottle of the Brides favorite beverage. Pick something she can share with everyone at the Bachelorette Party or something she should save for the wedding night. Either way, you can’t go wrong!

“Out-of-the-Box” Gift Ideas:  Want to stand out form the crowd? Try the ideas below make the Bachelorette night even MORE special!

• Make a special album/keepsake for the Bride- Take all those great pictures from your FUN memories with the bride and create an album for her…make sure to save room for the bachelorette Pictures…she’ll want to add those soon!
