First, pick a theme for your party. Choose from Girl's Night Out, Last Night Out, or Last Walk on the Wild Side themes. Send Girl's Night Out or Bachelorette Party invitations. Each of these are available in packages of 8.

Second, plan on decorating for your party. The party industry produces decorations specifically for bachelorette parties. These unique decorations will delight your guests.

Amen! dessert plates, mylar balloons, and fun Party Lip confetti to decorate the table. Mix and match with solid color tableware to add table covers, cutlery, cups, and plates. Add cutouts, a 12 foot banner, latex balloons, a yard sign, and matching car decorations. Greet each guest with a party lei and a name tag.

Next, play some fun bachelorette party games. Start with an Advice Book. Have all the guests write their words of wisdom, which can be read outloud by the bride-to-be, or kept as a keepsake from the party. The guest and gift registry includes space for up to 20 guests.

*Play Scramble Love Bridal Game. This Scrambled Love game has 8 sheets of scrambled love words. You must unscramble most of the words related to love within 2 minutes to be the winner.
*Consider the Dare To Do It Checklist. The Bachelorette wears the checklist and tries to complete all of the dares before the party is over. Attach the To Do list to the Bachelorette's back. The guests confirm when the Bachelorette completes each item by checking the checklist.
*Order Dare to do It Cards. This challenge will make for an unforgettable evening of laughs for everyone. Points are rewarded to each participant who dares to carry out crazy challenges like swapping an item of clothing with a man or drinking out of another strangers drink.

*Play Celebrity Who am I? The guests have the names of famous people on their backs and must guess who they are by asking questions of the other guests. Whoever guesses their celebrity first is the winner. This can be a more casual game, where the object is not to 'win', but to help all the guests figure out who they are.
*Play Guess the Celebrity: Pictures of 15 to 20 familiar celebrities numbered and pinned up on a wall. Guests are given a time limit to identify as many as they can by writing names next to the photo's number. The guest with the most correct answers wins.
