While we watch wedding traditions fly out the window (throwing rice, not seeing each other before the ceremony, getting married outside of a church), Bachelorette Party traditions are changing as well. Or at least they might need to depending on the bride-to-be. Discover fun ideas for you bachelorette party in Wichita, KS here!
Wichita 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 is in a color that she loves. 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.
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 with a bit of the bride’s consideration.
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.
Bachelorette Party Ideas in Wichita, KS: Fun Things to Do
Spa Day Bliss
Treat the bride-to-be to a day of relaxation and pampering. Book a spa day and enjoy luxurious treatments like massages, facials, and aromatherapy. Add to the indulgence by organizing an at-home spa party with face masks, robes, and champagne for the ultimate bonding experience.
Party Bus Extravaganza
Take the celebration on the road with a party bus rental! Party bus companies provide transportation, music, and space for the entire group to enjoy a private party on wheels. This is a great way to tour Wichita’s hotspots without worrying about driving.
DIY Photoshoot
Celebrate the bride with a themed photoshoot in some of Wichita’s most Instagram-worthy locations. Explore murals in the Douglas Design District, pose by the Keeper of the Plains statue, or create a vintage vibe at Union Station. Hire a professional photographer or bring props for a DIY shoot to capture the fun.
Custom Party at Home
If you prefer a more intimate gathering, host a bachelorette party at home with custom themes like “Glam Pajama Party” or “DIY Margarita Night.” You can rent karaoke machines, hire a private chef, or even book an at-home mixology class to keep the party exciting.
