Talk with the Bride – What does she want to do? What items and activities are off-limits? Make sure you cater the evening to her!
Pick the Bachelorette Party Date - This is usually on a weekend a week or two before the wedding. You don’t want to have the party the night before the wedding unless you plan something early that doesn’t involve alcohol. Check with the bride to make sure she’s free!
Pick a Bachelorette Party Idea - Bachelorette parties can be as unique as the bride! Visit The House of Bachelorette for Bachelorette Party theme ideas, or visit our Pinterest page for inspiration. Once you select an idea – start planning! Come up with decor, party favors, dress code, games, and food and drink that all fit with the theme.
Send a Save-the-Date Email to the invitees - Let them know the date (advanced notice is ideal – especially if they are buying plane tickets!), the party idea, the bride’s requests, and ask if anyone would like to help with the planning.

Book the Venue, buy the tickets, order the transportation, following your Bachelorette Party Idea - You may need to collect the pricing info and e-mail the attendees to send you money for tickets and other items you have to purchase in advance.

Follow up on RSVPs – If there are some ladies you still haven’t heard from, reach out to them so you can get final counts for the big night.
The Day before the Bachelorette Party
Send a reminder to the bride and the guests – Let them know when and where to meet, and remind them of anything specific they’re supposed to wear/bring.
Prep items for the party - Fill the goody bags, make sure you have all of your decorations and supplies needed for the games.
Wrap the bride’s gift – Make sure to write a fun note to accompany it!
On the Day of the Bachelorette Party
Arrive at the meeting place approximately 30 minutes early to make certain you are first to arrive. Take a couple of other Bachelorettes with you and have a drink! You deserve it!
Keep an eye on the bride and make sure she’s taken care of throughout the night. It’s her party, make sure she’s the star!
If you’re giving gifts, keep a tally of who gave what items so the bride can send out thank you cards.

Over the last two years we’ve supplied tens of thousands of feather boas to destinations all over the US and of course pink is our most popular color!
Besides boas that can be worn around the neck, we’ve also got cute pink fab feather bracelet that sells for just $1.99. Need something to wear up top? How about an adorable pink tiara? It’s marked down to $4.39 and comes trimmed out with pink marabou feathers.

According to breastcancer.org roughly one in eight women in the US will develop invasive breast cancer at some point in her life. It’s a serious problem, but if we all pull together there is no reason why we can’t uncover a cure. And we may as well look cute in pink while we do it!
This is one of those shocking stories that we can’t quite believe is true.Twenty-five-year-old bride-to-be Rachelle Friedman was celebrating her upcoming wedding with friends in Virginia Beach last May. The bachelorette party turned tragic when her best friend jokingly pushed her into the shallow end of the pool. Rachelle hit her head on the bottom and was rushed to the hospital.
She’s now paralyzed and had to postpone her June wedding in order to qualify for Medicaid. The insurance coverage helps pay for ongoing treatment and therapy, but Rachelle says she’s still planning to get married to the love of her life, Chris Chapman. Rachelle describes the bachelorette party incident as “a freak accident.”
The website Gawker created a website for Rachelle so people can donate to her medical bills or offer up some encouragement. Visit RachelleFriedman.com if you want to help. We’re praying for you Rachelle!

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 “I’m Getting Married Bitches!” Pint Glass. It’s hot pink, has sparkly rings on it, 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. Pink Rhinestone Pen: Just because it’s her bachelorette party doesn’t mean Katy Perry won’t be signing autographs. That’s why we think the Pink Rhinestone 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. Try Your Luck Scratch Off Coupons: 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 Try Your Luck Scratch Off Coupon Book. And no matter how wild Katy Perry’s bachelorette party gets, we’re sure Russell Brand will be even crazier with this book of coupons when she comes home for the night. Ow ow!

It’s your chance to vote! Which man should Bachelorette Jillian Harris pick? Judging by the promo for next week’s finale it looks like Reid is back in the mix. Let us know who you think Jillian should end up with!
Women across America got a little misty eyed watching the final moments of most recent episode of the Bachelorette. A heart broken Michael made the realization that he had indeed fallen in love with Bachelorette Jillian.
We knew he had a lot going against him. First of all– his age. Jillian was five years his senior and Jillian wondered if Michael really was ready to settle down. Second of all– his profession. Although she never realliy came out and said it, I’m sure Jillian wondered what kind of money break dancing instructors make and whether they have health insurance.
But let’s get back to broken-hearted Michael. If we could, we take him out for a night of dancing to forget about his lost love. We’d be sure to bring along plenty of glow-in-the-dark bracelets from The House of Bachelorette.What made the episode even harder to swollow was how Jillian could possibly keep Wes around. Wes is obviously a lying, publicity-hungry man-slut. And is it just us, or does Jillian act differently around slimy Wes? If we have to hear that stupid twangy line again, “They say love don’t come easy…” we may just barf in our ice cream bowls.
But while we’re sad to see Michael go, we’re kind of giddy over the fact that Ed is back…
