Are you planning a bachelorette party?
Then why not look for something unique yet enjoyable?
There are several great ways to get friends together during the day or evening where you won’t have to spend a fortune. We all know there are many expenses surrounding a wedding, so here are some great low-cost alternatives.
1 – An Evening in Paris
Transform your bachelorette night into an evening in Paris, minus the expensive airfare. Step back over the decades for the evening and celebrate as debutants for a few golden hours. Serve French pastries, quiches, and cream puffs, and relax to some romantic rhapsodies. Use red and white checked tablecloths and decorations. Put on your favorite French music… establish the mood of a peaceful evening in Paris. Recline on pillows, dim the lights, unwind, and enjoy the hors d’oeuvres! Potted geraniums and candles will help establish the tone while keeping the cost to a minimum.
2 – A Bachelorette Casino Night
A sure fire way to spend time with the girls is with a themed party. One of the simplest and most pleasurable ways to get together is with a Casino Night, which is an inexpensive way to replicate a trip to Las Vegas in your living room. Who wouldn’t love a casino event with card games and mixed drinks? You and your guests can even play casino games online for free, with prizes being awarded to the big winners. Certainly a crowd pleaser, you could even work on a Roaring Twenties theme or a Sixties Disco Bash. Add decorations, adjust the lights and throw on some beads and bangles.
3 – A Garden Tea Party
Another wonderful, inexpensive way to get together with friends is to organize a garden tea party. This makes for an ideal daytime bachelorette event, as well as a great way entertain friends. Set the tables with cloth and linen napkins. The bridal tea party can also be adapted to an evening event. Just bring everyone inside and offer a table with a variety of teas, cakes, and finger sandwiches. To honor the bride-to-be, arrange a collection of photos and mementos. Set up a gift table next to the desert table, hang pastel streamers and place bundled roses in vases for table décor. The hostesses can wear feminine aprons and serve the tea.
4 – Salsa Night – South of the Border
A South of the Border Salsa Bar is another idea for a fun-packed bachelorette party. Fish tacos, guacamole, and a variety of inexpensive salsas will keep the cost down. Tangy salsas, fruit and mango platters, chilies and hot sauce will spice up the event… while crushed ice margaritas with lime can help keep everyone cool and relaxed. Splurge on a few treats, such as fresh cheese, fruit, avocados, chocolate, and Mexican beer can still be reasonable if everyone chips in and helps. Play some Latin tunes and let the fun begin.
