Bachelorette Pot-Luck Party
If
you are having a home party this bachelorette party season and
are getting the girls together for a last night out soirée, we
have the tips for you in throwing the best in bachelorette party
home bashes! A fun way to celebrate the bride to be’s
festivities is to get all the girls to participate in a pot luck
extravaganza. I am sure many of the girls have their favorite
dishes they would like to show off just like Rachel Ray. This is
a great way for the bride and the bachelorettes to enjoy a
variety of tasty treats while saving a lot of money! Below we
have listed the most helpful steps in helping coordinate the
event:
Bachelorette Party Invitations – Make sure to get out the bachelorette party invitations early and let everyone know where the last night out will be as well as the theme of everyone bringing or making something. We have attached a bachelorette party sign-up sheet which you can download in helping everyone place what they plan on bringing so you don’t have doubles or triples of the same item.
Tableware
- As soon as you know the majority of what is being brought as
for food, make sure someone will be bringing the
bachelorette tableware. Make it festive and fun, using
colors that go with any theme you choose. The favorite colors of
bachelorettes are pink, purple, black, red and white. If you are
choosing a
bachelorette party theme,
include it with the tableware. Add accents with
confetti and
balloons.
Bachelorette
Supplies – Just as important as tableware are the
bachelorette party supplies to decorate the room with. From
mild to wild – classy to sassy, you can find what is right for
the type of party you are planning on having. Ask the
bachelorette what she wants her style to be as it is her party
and she should have some say in how the event flows.
Bachelorette Party
Games – A potluck is a great and creates a focus and
bonding among the girls which many times is lost when partying
at a club or large venue. Just as important are the
bachelorette party games that can be played and spread out
throughout the party. It is also important to choose
bachelorette party games that is right for the group as
there are so many to choose from. Spread them out during the
party as to not overdo it with games. Keep score and make it a
little competitive which can be really fun. Choose teams but
make sure it stays fun and not frustrating for the girls. A cute
game is a new
iPod bachelorette party game which has all types of
activities and is easy to take out and pay on an iPhone or iPad
during the festivities. Besides games, a fabulous idea is to
have an
exotic dance lesson instructor come over and teach the girls
a few snazzy moves.
Bride-To-Be Helpers
– Have a few girls who volunteer get to the bachelorette
Pot-Luck party early so they can help with setting up. Anything
that needs to be cooked and is not cooked prior should also be
done on the early side so that bachelorette should also come
early. Make sure the person with the decorations and tableware
drops off or comes over early to help set up the room. The
bride-to-be should not be there early or she will see the set up
which will not then be much of a surprise! If someone is going
to cook on a grill, make sure the house has one. It is also
important to see what types of cooking plates are needed.
Picture Taking Ops
– Make sure to have some digital cameras ready for cute
bachelorette party pictures that can be taken throughout the
evening. No inappropriate pictures should be taken if you are
having an
exotic dancer come over.
Movies For The Girls
– A fun idea is to have your favorite
chick
flick playing in the background for those who want to watch
and sing along or say movie lines to. Have someone also bring an
iTunes speaker or something that plays music with an appointed
person for the
bachelorette party music.
Bride-To-Be Servers
– When the party starts, it is great to appoint some girls to
help in serving everyone or at least making sure that everything
gets out. Help the person whose house it is as they have given
their place to throw your last night out and should also be the
server. Make sure there are enough
napkins,
cups,
tableware,
plates and
straws. You can also get table cloths and decorations to
place on the table to make it festive.
Words of Inspiration
and Fun – At some point during the party, have
everyone go around and state the most favorite funny or
beautiful memory of the bride-to-be and have someone write all
of them down. You can take the pictures you take plus the words
and make a scrap book as a
bachelorette party gift.
Clean Up Crew
– Not that it is fun, but it is a must to have a group of
bachelorettes willing to help out and clean up after the last
night out comes to an end. If you are planning on a post-party,
have everyone chip in and clean or come for a post-party the
next day so the person whose house it is does not get stuck with
the mess.
With some planning, you can have a great
Bachelorette Pot-Luck Party with good friends! Most of all, it
is important to have a great time and not stress about how the
party goes! Everyone gets to have fun and gets kudos for the
great buffet!
