As I collect research for my Bachelorette Party book I spent yesterday researching what information was out there on the do-it-yourself Penis Cake. Of course the world wide web spit up several sites when I typed “penis cake” in the subject line…but each entry had a FATAL FLAW…see below:

If you want instructions of how to make an “Ace of Cakes” style Penis Cake you can watch a British Buxom Blonde give you step-by-step instruction on you tube (video below). The main problem here is that she makes the friggen cake from scratch and tops it with fondant…FONDANT! For some reason, even if I could get past the fact that she didn’t use a Duncan Hines mix, when she pulled out the fondant I started to hate her. Her finished cake is perfection…and I DO agree the friggen FONDANT does look like very realistic skin…but come on! And P.S. Buxom Blonde Lady – the Gummy Worm piercing is a little over the top for American tastes.

If you don’t mind a cake that looks like total CRAP, you should check out the sights put out by the Porn Suppliers that own the Bachelorette Party Supply stores on the web. Boy…they cannot make a Penis Cake to save their LIVES! First, they want you to spend $12-20 on a pan, that to me looks frankly out of proportion (and they should be PENIS experts since they own Porn distribution warehouses!) when CLEARLY you don’t need the fancy pan, because the British chick (mentioned in pt 1) doesn’t use a $20 pan and her cake looks a billion times better than the cakes they show.

My Recommendation – WING IT! Believe me you can do better on your own. Ignore the British and buy a Duncan Hines Mix, and ignore the Porn Pushers and skip the $20 Penis Pan, and make you own wonderful cake for under $5.00 and have the time of your life doing it!

If the brides idea of a great time is a soothing zen music, a glass of wine and someone rubbing her feet then a SPA BACHELORETTE PARTY may be just what the doctor ordered!

See below some ideas for this Out-of-the-Ordinary Bachelorette Party!

What’s your Budget? The first place to start is with the budget – and with a SPA Bachelorette Party you can have a great party on almost ANY BUDGET. I have broken down the ideas into 3 categories: Pampered Partier (the sky is the limit!), Discount Diva (moderate budget), Broke Bachelorette (low budget – free)!

Pampered Partier Style ($$$$)- When budget is not a concern you can go all out with a Spa Bachelorette Party. Book the bachelorettes in a 4 star resort with a large Spa Facility like The Ritz-Carlton. You can relax by the pool and plan many spa treatments and make it a long weekend full of great services such as facials, massages and mud baths. Another option is to go all out with a wellness weekend that would include spa treatments as well as diet, exercise and wellness seminars such as Canyon Ranch SpaClub. Either way you will have a WONDERFUL, RELAXING weekend Bachelorette Party to remember…and be ready for the Wedding Day Photos!

Discount Diva Style ($$)- Moderate budgets require a little more creativity. Contact your local Spas and find packages for groups of people. Many times you can get great volume discounts or at least get the brides services for FREE! When planning an entire day or afternoon at the SPA don’t forget about the food or drinks. Find out if your spa offers drinks for free, and if not, ask if you can bring the brides favorite wine or cocktail to serve. Plan to have snacks or food if you will be at the Spa over lunch or dinner. Pick the brides favorites and you can’t go wrong!

Broke Bachelorette ($)- A Spa Bachelorette Party at Home can be a great time! Proper Planning is the key to success with this type of bachelorette Party. Pick up great facial masks at your local drug store or at Lush. Pick up the tools to give each other a manicure or pedicure and paint each others nails/toes. Hire a massage therapist to come to your home (with their portable massage table) and give each bachelorette a 15-20 minute massage. Play relaxing music, pour some wine or cocktails, and enjoy each others company!

Don’t forget cute Spa Theme Party favors or a FUN game to play at the Spa like our Groom Quiz Game!

Now that you have decided you DO NOT have to have a “normal” Bachelorette Party you can enjoin a TON of AMAZING Party Options! A Wine Tasting Bachelorette Party is VERY EASY to plan, can be done on VERY SHORT NOTICE and can be a VERY LOW COST way to have a Bachelorette Party.

What is the Brides Favorite kind of wine? Once you find this out, you can build the whole party! Below are some different ideas for a Wine Tasting Bachelorette Party –

VERY LOW COST
The “Bring a Bottle” Party – When you send out the invitation you should specify that each Bachelorette needs to bring a bottle of wine. You should narrow the options by selecting a type of wine (such as Merlot) or a make a broader request (such as White Wines or Sweet White Wines). Make sure the wine reflects the bride-to-be’s preferences. Once you have selected the type wine you can plan the food. Make certain to have lot’s of breads to clean the palette between tastes. An assortment of cheeses and antipasto is a great addition to a wine tasting. Finger foods will be good choices, as one hand will be occupied with a wine glass, you want items to be easy to eat. Once the tasting is over ramp up the Bachelorette Fun by playing a GAME! For a VERY EASY solution, try a Wine Tasting Party Kit.  Usually very inexpensive and comes with a lot of the supplies you will need for a great party!

MODERATE COST
Take your group of Bachelorettes and head to the local winery. Bring blankets and plan an outdoor picnic on the lawn. Ask an employee from the winery to make wine selections and to speak at your party about the wines. In advance of the party ask the winery for a list of foods/dishes that you can prepare in advance for the tasting. Plan a FUN outdoor Bachelorette party game after the tasting. If possible plan the date of your bachelorette party during an event at the winery, such as a concert or grape stomp!  Don’t forget to bring cute party supplies like pink wine glasses and adorable Bachelorette Party Napkins! 

HIGH COST
Plan your party at local restaurant that is known for their exceptional wine list. Ask the Chef and Sommelier to prepare a tasting menu for your party, using the brides favorite type of wine and food that would be a good compliment. If possible reserve a private room at the restaurant and ask the sommelier to lead you tasting. (S)he can educate the Bachelorette Party guests on the flavors and attributes of each wine selection and food pairing. Prepare a gift bad for each attendee with a bottle of wine, a wine opener and other favorite items.

Other things to add
* Bachelorette Wine Charms
* A Gift for the Bride of Wine to start her Wine cellar
* A Cake shaped like a wine glass
* Bachelorette Party Music that fit’s the mood
