Bachelorette Party Style: 101

Did you know the first book on bachelorette Party how-to’s wasn’t written until 1998? That shocked me! Apparently bachelorette parties really started to become widely popular in the 1980’s but now in 2010, Bach parties have gone to a whole new level! If you are like me and in your mid twenties, you have probably been to so many bachelorette parties you can’t even count anymore. In the past couple of years, I have hands down been to upwards of 20. I don’t kid. I am so blessed to have the group of girlfriends I have, and wouldn’t change any of it! It’s funny though, it seems like every bachelorette party I go to is an extravagant mini vacation, which I LOVE, but when did this happen? I mean I have been to Florida (twice) {once on a yacht!} Nashville, Chicago (back to back weekends, different brides) Cincinnati multiple times, Louisville, probably somewhere else I am forgetting, and the list goes on. I like to think I have become quite the pro at bachelorette party planning, and I do have to toot my own horn here and declare that my MOH duties for little Court Court were pretty awesome. I had a binder y’all. With spreadsheets.Anyways Every Bach party I go to there is a minimum of 20-25 of my girlfriends in attendance, and ladies, things get Crazy. My friends and I are pretty much abnormally obsessed with each other so when we all get together it is a freaking blab fest. I am sure to be in a restaurant with us is absolutely a nightmare. Actually, I know this because I was told this. Ha. We don’t really care about seeing, or meeting boys, we just wanna hold hands and have drunken slumber parties with our Besties. Ha ha. We aren’t really into all the penis stuff if you will, that’s just gross. I did once try to create a lovely phallic shaped cookie, but it was a major fail, and we dropped it outside the limo anyways. So that was the end of male genitalia shaped baked goods…So I figured I would impart some of my wisdom on you ladies, in case you need to plan a kick ass bachelorette party, I have compiled a list of the ‘must-haves’ if you will.
A location, and the necessities. For example, a beach house and a beach cooler of beer, or Jen’s personalized beach bags, equipped with advil, a mini sky bottle, some snacks, and personalized beach towels! These were precious!

Javier. Meet Javie. He attends every bachelorette party, and his attire changes according the the party’s theme. He has been known to wear firefighter gear, colorful boxers, and a leopard print loin cloth. We like to keep it classy in public, and keep Javier’s goods covered.Lila j tanks– and jean bottom of your choice. Standard. Sweet Lauren at lilaj makes all of our bachelorette tops. They are always precious, and bejeweled. She also made Molly’s Rhinestone bride bikini. Too cute for words.PinkLouLou original veil– multiples, for multiple nights. Standard white, white with pink underneath, glittery, game day colored or beach visor edition, a PinkLouLou veil is a must. I made the first one for Courtney, and everyone since has had one! I love making them they are just so cute, the poofier the better. My favorite that I have made so far is definitely Ellen’s. It was the perfect poof, and oh so chic. I may have worn it around the house before I gave it to her. Oops.
LBD– to be worn when bride wears her white, or hot pink dress. It’s pretty funny, I was looking through pics and realize that on the second night of the bach party, the bride always wears one color dress (usually white, or hot pink) and everyone else wears their little black dress. Its so easy, yet so cute!
BOAS. Oooh sweet feathers, these boas are obnoxious, but so fun! They just put a little sass in your step if you ask me.
Dare Dice. One has an action on it (kiss, dance on, sing to etc) and the other has the object (bald man, hairy man, officer of the law etc..) throw em and see what you roll! Always a fun time. An FYI a jag is like a cougar, but the male version. Exhibit A. This is a jag. So if you had rolled “Kiss Jag..” you get the point. 😉Personalized coozies– Yep. A must. With 25 girls how the heck are you suppose to know which drink is yours. Oh I know, get personalized coozies! You most likely will lose yours by the end of the night. Just sayin’. How to fix this problem you ask? Personalized cups equipped with handcuffs. So you are never without your cocktail.


A ride home– Shant we forget the most important thing, a safe ride home. Weather it be a limo, cab driver, or an EMT crew, just make sure you get a safe ride home. Lindsey’s bachelorette party we all came home in an ambulance, don’t worry, no one was hurt, but there were no cabs, so the nice EMT workers decided to let the ‘going wild’ crew hop in the back of the Ambulance and kindly dropped us off at our hotel. Standard. Shall I also mention that this is the night Courtney shut the ambulance door on Brody Jenner, not realizing who he was.
{yes I was a chubs at this time-heartbreak is cruel to the figure haha}

{EDIT look at this GEM I just found. Yes That is Casey driving a fire truck}

Piñata- this was great. I ordered a lovely piñata for Courtney. It was actually quite cute and girly. Guess what it is ladies? We placed it atop of a long pole and carried it high in the air wherever we went. So pretty much Court had a large pink penis piñata just flying in the air above her head through the streets of downtown Nashville. Now this was just genius because you try keeping 25 girls together in a bar. “Just follow the piñata…”

Always be safe. This is why it is a good idea to bring the Coast Guard aboard your yacht. And also why it is important to have a very safe captain, who also passes out chocolate cake shots.
{Yes Jen is holding a dong bong, you heard me}

Needless to say we have a good time! I have probably had too much fun for my own good at all of these bachelorette parties so ladies, keep em coming. LouLou needs an excuse soon to see her girlfriends and be ridiculous! What do YOU do for bachelorette parties?? Any ideas that we need to incorporate? Have a great day lovelies!

    You girls absolutely know how to throw it down! And, I just have to tell you- we have a dong bong that has been passed from bachelorette to bachelorette… only it looked kind of offensive in it's phallic glory so we decorated it with pink ribbon and rhinestones. 🙂

  11. Annamarie says:

  14. Dree says:

  18. quote of the day "he should send you a thank you card"

  19. Courtney says:

    You know I am a fan of the pinkoulou veil! Thanks Allie for making my bachelorette amazingly perfect, I can’t thank you enough! PS You forgot the cute little personalized stickers that we passed out at the bar to the nice gentlemen that gave us shots and helped with dares…. I think they said Courtney’s Final Fling or maybe Team Bride. So much fun and love you always!

    Journey Jewelry Debeers made the Rolex Replica Watches notion of Journey Jewellery a couple of decades ago but it took a while to catch on. Recently, Saint Laurent Outlet became 1 in the most popular diamond jewellery presents available. Journey Jewellery is established by using a assortment of diamonds growing in size from smallest to largest, these Louboutin Outlet Online symbolize the growth of love that men and women have for just one another. As your love grows so should your diamonds, at least that's what Debeers believes. Journey variations have been shown mostly in white gold set with Swiss Replica Watches princess or round diamonds. The thought is based loosely about the Previous, Present, & Future 3-stone jewellery that was also designed by Debeers, These charm bracelets make fantastic presents and most people invest in a single for themselves in addition as for good friends. The Replica Designer Handbags on the jewellery is the capability to make bracelets jointly with friends and family, as soon as created they appear incredible and very trendy.
