WHAT TO WEAR TO A BACHELORETTE PARTY
It's time for the bachelorette party! Who doesn't love a good girls' night (or weekend) out? It's the perfect opportunity to let your hair down and encourage the bride-to-be to engage in a little pre-wedding fun and relaxation. Based on how you end up celebrating, we've rounded up outfit ideas to make sure all attendees look great while doing it!
WHAT'S ON THE AGENDA?
FANCY DINNER & DANCING
Great food, good music, better—friends what more can you ask for? How about the perfect outfit—a party dress and heels! There are plenty of styles to choose from whether you're going to a fancy dinner and upscale lounge or bar and club hopping.
WEEKEND GETAWAY
There's nothing like a vacation with your girls! Whether you're hopping on a plane to a tropical locale or going on a road trip to the next city over, you're going to need to pack your best looks. Take a look at the itinerary to know what essentials to bring. Going out for a fun dinner? A cocktail dress will come in handy. Go for a beaded or embellished version — you're on vacation, after all! Going swimming? Don't forget your swimsuit and cover-up. Be sure to check the weather, too. You may want to bring a jacket oir coat plus an umbrella, just in case.
WINE DOWN
Cheers! Taste testing different wines, whether at a vineyard or someone's home, is always a good time. It's even better when you're with your girls! Dress up a little—it is a special occasion after all! A fresh sundress or simple sheath is perfect. If you'll be walking a lot, then opt for comfy flats or sneakers. Known to spill? Skip wearing light colors if you prefer merlots to chardonnays.
SPA DAY
Good vibes only. Relaxation is key during a spa day and your outfit should be relaxed, too. Make a statement with tees or sweatpants sporting a "Bride" and "Bridesmaid." Don't like going to the spa? Find a company that will bring the spa professional to you—massages and mimosa at home for the win!
GONE GLAMPING
Outdoorsy bride on your hands? Then she'll love the glam version of camping—say hello to glamping! From staying in a luxe tent to a plush cabin, the options are endless. Keep it casual and comfortable—think jeans and T-shirts. Bonus points for matching ones—if that's the bride's thing, of course.
STAYCATION
Just because you're staying in doesn't mean you can't look cute—a cute staycation is just what the bride ordered! Remember those sleepovers you had with your girls when you were younger? Host the party at a bridesmaid's house or get a hotel room in the city. Add cute pajamas and robes, and you're set to play your favorite bridal party and board games.
DON'T FORGET THE ACCESSORIES!
Whether you choose statement jewelry or the of-the-moment mini bag, take the opportunity to have fun with your outfit using accessories.
- Turn heads in a statement necklace, bracelet or earrings.
- Stick with fashion jewelry–you wouldn't want to lose the real stuff.
GIFTS TO BRING
The bachelorette party is the perfect place to gift the bride items she can use for the honeymoon and beyond. Go for pieces you know she'll love, plus a few she'll appreciate (but never buy for herself). We've rounded up a few foolproof ideas:
It'S WHAT'S UNDERNEATH THAT COUNTS
She can never have too many bras and panties! Bridal lingerie will come in handy. You can't go wrong with all white sets. Consult with the other bridesmaids and gift her a good mix of classic and sexy styles.
A LITTLE RAZZLE-DAZZLE
She needs "something new." If you really know the bride's taste, the bridesmaids may want to go in on a stunning piece of bridal jewelry. A pair of earrings or a bracelet to accompany her dress would be a big hit.
