Bachelorette party ideas for a small group

erincupcakes

Hi girls,

just wondering if I might be able to draw on the wealth of expertise here for some bachelorette party ideas. I'm a bridesmaid for my friend who is getting married this summer. Her MOH lives out of state, so I'm helping her with lots of planning. The bride wants a wild, crazy party for her stagette, but the thing is I think it may be only the bride and the 3 girls standing for her (myself included) that will be attending. I was thinking night at a fun hotel, and have a spa day, dinner at her fav restaurant, drinks/gifts/games at the hotel and then head out to some nightclubs. How's that sound? I want her to have an absolutely amazing time, but I'm just worried some of the standard games you play at bachelorette parties might be kind of weird with just 4 people? I've been to bachs before, but the last one I went to had about 20 girls show up, so there were lots of people to participate in the silly games... any ideas would be really appreciated ! thanks gals xo

Personally, I hate games of all sorts, whether they're at bridal showers or bachelorette parties. For my best friend's bachelorette party, we went to a part of town that has a long string of bars, and we bar hopped all night. We also rented a hotel, and I had my FI's cousin come down to do our hair and makeup before we went out. We had the same number of people you did (bride + 3 of us girls), and we all had a blast. The bride still talks about her bachelorette party even like 2 years later. Unless the bride is super into the games, I wouldn't worry about having any.

There are bachelorette party games?

I wouldn't worry about it. I like games, but hanging out and drinking with girlfriends is entertainment enough for me, and most other people.

More girls = more drama.  I think 4 girls is perfect for a fun day and night out and what you have planned sounds good.    I don't think games are necessary.

I've never attended a bachelorette party with games. It's always dinner/drinking at a restaurant followed by more drinking and dancing at a bar/club. If your friend wants a "wild, crazy party" then just go this route.

Just say no to games.

And this.  It is so much easier to plan a night out when you have a handful of people rather then a huge group.  I also find that I have more fun with a few people then a whole truck load.

There will be 6 girls at my bach party. We are getting mani/pedis, going to dinner, and then doing some bar hopping. I expect it to be a blast.

I actually just had my bach. party this past weekend, and one of my favorite parts was that my MOH found a mixologist who came to our hotel room and taught us how to make cocktails (I think the whole thing lasted about an hour).  It was a very very fun (and yummy) start to the evening!

We didn't play any games. My bachelorette party involved 6 people including me. First, we spent 4 amazing hours at a spa, then we went to Dick's Last Resort (a restaurant where the waiters are rude and pretty much anything goes, for those not familiar), and then to a dueling piano bar. We had an absolute blast.

awesome ideas, thanks so much ladies. Love the idea having someone come in to do hair and make up before going out. The more I think about it, I'm starting to feel like making too many plans will make it not as much fun. Thanks a million I agree, I think what we have planned will still be lots of fun.

have a great day everyone:

ps KateJ: the mixologist idea is amazing! I will have to look into that for the hotel portion.. how fun would that be!

Oh, make sure you find out everyone's budget prior to making arrangements.

This can be a deal-breaker.

Have fun!
