There will always be a new and trendy theme that comes about each year. Whether it be associated with a musical artist, movie, or just a catchphrase. Not only being aware of the latest trends will help, but also knowing what the bride-to-be is loving at the moment will help you choose a theme! Once the theme is chosen, everything else like destination, color themes, and the accessories will be easy to coordinate!
Whether you are the bride, the maid of honor, bachelorette, sister, or very close friend, hosting a bachelorette party can be a little stressful. If you are one of the above and are looking for the perfect bachelorette theme, our bachelorette party collection can help you make a choice.
How to Pick a Bachelorette Party Theme?
Picking a theme can be a tedious job, especially when you have so many other life things going on.
So, here are a few things to help make your decision easier.
When Is The Wedding?
Choosing a date for the bachelorette party will heavily depend on when the wedding is. So, it’s crucial to have this information to accommodate the bride and her already hectic schedule.
She also might already have a date in mind, so be prepared! The earlier the better!
Moreover, the date will help determine the theme. Most bachelorette parties are better for warmer weather and go best in the summer months. But you might not have that option.
Besides that, the weather conditions also decide your venue, whether indoor or outdoor.
Will The Party Be A Destination?
Apart from the date, your bride-to-be might have her eyes on a destination trip too!
Make sure you get her thoughts first, as she will know best, have an idea of who she wants to invite, and know what everyone can afford.
Planning this party, whether local or abroad, will take some time and patience in coordinating with everyone. Brainstorm some options that the bride can choose from if she is undecided.
What Theme Matches The Bride's Personality?
You want this day, night, or weekend to be personal to the bride. So, I’m sure as you reflect on the time you’ve had together, you have a pretty good idea of her likes and dislikes.
A celebration custom for the bride will make the details even easier to choose!
For instance, is she super trendy? Maybe a Bohemian theme would be perfect for her!
By considering the bride first and foremost, you can get creative! And don’t be afraid to go against what tradition tells you to do!
Answering these questions will enable you to pick a theme that will give you and your gals an epic bachelorette party to remember!
Bachelorette Party Themes & Ideas

2. Winery Weekend
An elegant winery weekend in the vineyards of Sonoma and Napa is a perfect girls' getaway! The endless vines will set a picture-perfect backdrop for you all dressed in your best with a glass of wine in hand.
Vino before vows is a classic theme that never gets old. For decorations, we picture a beautiful boho backdrop, which will be great for pictures all weekend long! Add in some fresh flowers and pampas grass for a full boho vibe!
What kind of party is it without prosecco? We are positive that team bride will love all of the details for this party! Personalizing wine glasses and bags will be cute and functional for the weekend ahead!
While a Napa trip might be out of the question, you can always create a classy wine tasting event for a girl's night in! Hire a chef to come in for the evening to provide an authentic tasting menu to pair with wines and end with a delicate dessert!
Either way, decoration will be needed! If you prefer an all-white setup, check out this party kit for a classic vibe. Also, a subtle pink statement balloon is an easy way to add an elegant look to your bachelorette theme.

Whether you go with the “Let’s Get Nautical” theme or the “Last Sail Before the Veil”, your mates will be ready to get ship-faced! If you are hosting the bachelorette party on a lake, in the Caribbean, or any other body of water, then it’s time to get nautical!
Understandably, your bridal squad might not be able to do a destination bachelorette party. So, even if you are renting a house with a pool in the back, focus on the nautical decorations and fun party supplies to coordinate!
From sailor hats to cute sun visors, your nauti-themed party will be picture perfect! The sea theme should feature shades of blue, white, and gold (like this one) with anchors and other nautical accessories.
Anchors down and bottoms up!

This theme will never get old! So you should always be able to find accessories to add to your cute suits! Look for fanny packs, cute sunglasses, retro visors, and inflatable lifeguard rings.
All of the attention will be on the beach babes for this bash! But if you are heading back to a hotel room or rented house, don’t forget about the decorations there! Will make for a perfect photo backdrop before your night out!
