Bachelorette Party Ideas: Dos and Don’ts
Planning a bachelorette party in Baltimore opens up endless ways to celebrate the bride-to-be, from rooftop bars and waterfront restaurants to creative group activities and weekend getaways. As wedding traditions evolve, so do bachelorette celebrations, and the best parties reflect the bride’s personality and style. Whether you’re organizing a laid-back wine night or a high-energy evening downtown, these Baltimore bachelorette party ideas and tips will help you create a memorable event that’s all about fun, laughter, and friendship.
Bachelorette Parties Dos and Don’ts:
DON’T: Black Dresses
The LBD is never going out of style, but the trend of having all your bridesmaids wear black for your bachelorette party has gone stale. Mix things up a bit!
DO: Organized Attire
Give the bridesmaids a direction in their attire, possibly choose her favorite color, maxi dresses, or any color other than black or white. OR it would be cute to have the attendees all in white, while the bride-to-be stands out in a color that she loves, making her the true star of the event. Whichever direction you choose, help point the gals on the right path with example outfit photos.
DON’T: Sell Suckers
It’s time to say goodbye to the Suck-for-a-Buck sucker bouquet. Bar-goers are seeing right through this tacky tradition of convincing others to buy a sucker from the bride’s “sucker bouquet” for $1. It’s time to try something new or just stop begging others for money.
DO: Split the cost of the Bride-to-Be’s Drinks
Give every Bachelorette Party attendee a ribbon for tying in a bow on their wrist. When the bride wants a drink, she pulls the ribbon off each of her girlfriends (or boyfriends) wrists! This activity is much classier than begging others for money or leaving the maid-of-honor with the bar tab. This is also a great way to split the cost of drinks, making sure everyone contributes to the celebration without any awkward moments.
DON’T: Plan A Generic Evening
Just getting dressed up and going out can definitely be a blast, maybe with a few bonus surprises for the bride along the way! But before planning three hotel room games, a night out at a crowded dance club, or building that sucker bouquet, it doesn’t hurt to consult the bride-to-be first. Plan a unique evening to her preferences and personality, making it a one-of-a-kind celebration that reflects what she truly loves.
DO: Plan a Bride-Approved Evening
Think outside of the bachelorette party box. Find activities the bride-to-be loves that she doesn’t typically get to partake in with her besties! Going to a sporting event, hiking and glamping, or a creative activity that could be decor at the wedding are just the start of possibilities! Or how can you help create the perfect night out that is an elevated version of every other Saturday night? We DO challenge you to make this an unforgettable experience for the bride filled with things she actually wants to do.
