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.

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.
