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.
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.
As more and more women prolong that walk down the aisle, bachelorette party dreams are changing. As brides get older their idea for the perfect way to send off singledom seems to change. They would rather pay a masseuse to rub them down rather than a stripper. And some would like to trade in the penis hats for a princess tiara. Here are some bachelorette party ideas for older brides.
Grown-Up Slumber Party: Invite the girls over for a grown-up slumber party. Make sure there’s plenty of wine and treats to last the night. Pop in a favorite chick flick and giggle the night away like old times. The Sleeping Beauty Eye Mask is a must.
Tea Time: For sophisticated brides, a bachelorette tea time can be lots of fun. Hold it at a fancy hotel like the Ritz Carlton or The Four Seasons. Or set it up in your backyard garden. Require dresses and party hats for a regal feel.
Spa Date: Bachelorette parties are about indulging and what better way to indulge than with a day at the spa. Help the bride get her lips ready for their big moment with some wedding cake lip balm.
Wine Tasting: A wine tasting can be a great alternative to bar hopping. Older bachelorettes may enjoy the sophistication of sampling wine from around the world. Wedding wine charms will make sure everyone knows which glass belongs to the bride.
Karaoke: Let the bride sing her little heart out to all of her favorites from the 80s and 90s with a night of karaoke. Make sure to give her her own glitter microphone so she can feel like a rock star for the night.
Pole Dancing Class: Older brides may love learning something new. Take the group to a pole dancing class. Check out our extensive list of pole dancing bachelorette party locations around the country.

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.

After a super fast six-week courtship, Khloe Kardashian and Lakers forward Lamar Odom announced they are getting hitched! The engaged couple could be planning a quick wedding since their pre-engagement relationship was so brief. We’ve got some great stuff picked out for Khloe’s impending bachelorette party. First up, a sexy bride tube top.
The reason we’re so sure Khloe will love this is because she recently lost 12 pounds by watching what she eats and working out with her sisters, Kim and Kourtney and we know she’ll want to show of her fab new figure. Next, we think Khloe will love to see her Kardashian sisters wearing matching tank tops.
Since the sisters are all so close, both Kim and Kourtney Kardashian will probably share the title of Maid of Honor. Order one for your maid of honor for just $15.99. Finally, we picked out these glitter stickers for Khloe Kardashian’s bachelorette party.
Khloe loves to have fun and with these stickers you know she will! Kim Kardashian will probably earn the sticker for “Best Guy Magnet” and since Kourtney is expecting she should be given the sticker that says “Cleavage Queen.” Pick up some for your bachelorette party for only $2.99.
Life of the Party? Or Party Pooper?
They don’t seem to want to be a part of traditional wedding party planning like picking colors or selecting a florist. But when it comes to the parties the grooms are all about it. It’s long been a faux pas, but lately more grooms seem to be showing up to the bachelorette party. Maybe it’s because they’re looking for some fun or maybe it’s because they don’t trust their bride-to-be. We want to know what you think. Should the groom be invited to the bachelorette party?
I love TOMS. What’s not to love about comfy shoes that make a difference in the world? For every pair you buy they give a pair of shoes to someone who needs them. Cool, huh? It turns out TOMS are becoming popular with brides. TOMS says they’ll offer a special deal to brides and grooms who outfit their entire wedding party in TOMS. You just have to email them for the details.
If only TOMS came in hot pink so they would match this super cute bachelorette t-shirt.
