If the bride and her friends are feeling a little nauti, set sail before the veil for the ultimate bachelorette celebration. Charter a boat for the day to party under the sun, get matching bathing suits, and end the festivities with a lobster dinner, clambake, or coastal social happy hour.

Princess Diaries Bachelorette

Mia Thermopolis’s story to royalty makes an ideal bachelorette party theme, especially since she was getting married in the second movie! For your Princess Diaries themed bachelorette party, you’ll definitely want to take inspiration from both films. We’re thinking a fortune teller, paint balloon darts, Genovian pear food and drinks, and maybe even some mattress surfing!

Bring the heat to this bachelorette bash by using palm tree accents, bright pink flamingo decor, and planning an epic pool party. To “Tropic Like it’s Hot” the bride and her friends can have a relaxing day by the pool sipping piña coladas from the tiki bar, take surfing lessons in the ocean, and book a steel drummer to help bring the island vibes to life. Whether you’re traveling for this bachelorette bash or staying local, a “Tropic Like it’s Hot” theme gives the perfect opportunity to soak up the sun.

No matter how old you were in the early 2000’s, everything was iconic. The styles, snacks, and celebrities from this time period provide the perfect inspiration to plan a Y2K bachelorette party. Dig out your old Juicy Couture velour tracksuit, order butterfly clips on Amazon, and crimp your hair to achieve the look of the early 2000s.

Channel the theme in other party details like food and entertainment, too. Fruit Gushers, Dunkaroos, and Lunchables were the snacks that everyone had stockpiled, so you’re going to want to include these in your spread. Book a local airbrush artist to customize t-shirts, hats, and other clothing items so everyone can rock this 2000s staple during and after the party.

Shop shiny mermaid bathing suits on Amazon, sip on delicious seashell spritzers, and book a henna artist to paint intricate mermaid inspired designs on guests.

To plan a party under the sea that will round off this theme perfectly, browse costumed characters on The Bash to make an appearance during the festivities including magical mermaids and rugged pirates.

Your bestie is getting ready to tie the knot, are you ready for it? Celebrate the bride-to-be with the ultimate Swiftie experience by dressing as Taylor’s various eras, singing Taylor Swift karaoke with the help of a karaoke DJ, and of course making themed cocktails like a “Lavender Haze” martini or building a “Champagne Problems” tower.

The best part about a Taylor Swift themed bachelorette party is that you can choose a specific album or song to celebrate this “Love Story,” or plan a “Gorgeous” bachelorette bash with details from every era.

Après Ski

Hit the slopes before the wedding by celebrating with the best part of skiing, après ski! The festivities that take place after a day on the mountain are arguably the best part of the experience, making it an ideal bachelorette party theme idea.

Whether you actually ski or not, a ski resort or a log cabin Airbnb will help create the cozy vibes. Get the shot ski ready, dress in warm and retro winter attire, and book a party bus to bring the bridal party to and from their destinations for the weekend.

A twist on the “Final Fiesta” bachelorette theme is margaritas and matrimony! Get the tequila, tacos, and maybe even a mariachi band ready because this party is going to be the ultimate celebration to kiss the miss goodbye. Use a bright and bold color scheme and maybe even book a few salsa dancers to make this fiesta unforgettable.

Dazed & Engaged

Typically, traditional decades parties like the 1960s are overdone, that’s why it’s crucial to put a unique twist on this throwback theme. Rather than the typical gogo boots and glasses, celebrate the future Mrs. with a “Dazed and Engaged” bachelorette party theme. To pull this off you’ll want all things Woodstock inspired; bright colors, smiley face and flower decor, and a live 60s band to sing the decade's top hits.

Last Rendez-Veuve

Toast the bride-to-be with the ultimate champagne-centric bachelorette party theme. As a play on words for everyone’s favorite bubbly, the bride and guests will adore the Veuve Clicquot details. Of course this means having a champagne tower, using a champagne color scheme for decor, and having plenty of metallic balloons in the event space.

Coastal Grandmother

As a last toast on the coast, the bride will love a coastal grandmother themed celebration that is all the rage on social media. To achieve this aesthetic you’ll need plenty of white wine, delicious pasta with fresh garden vegetables, and live acoustic music for all the chill and relaxed vibes. The coastal grandmother aesthetic is ideal for the laid-back bride who wants a casual get-together.

Skip the white for the bachelorette party festivities and think pink! For this celebration you’re going to want to channel your inner Barbie. For example, you can book a pink limo to bring the bridal party to and from their destination, serve glittery pink food and beverages, and rent a photo booth to capture all the Barbie fun. Of course this theme isn’t complete without Barbie inspired outfits including dresses, tutus, and all things glitter.

White Lotus Theme

If you binge watched HBO’s White Lotus like us, you can easily turn this murder mystery series into an exciting party theme. First things first, which season are you looking to emulate? So far you can go for the tropical vibes of Hawaiian beaches or the chic and rustic atmosphere of Sicily.

Take this theme to the next level by booking a DJ to play the bride’s favorite tunes and upbeat music to create the perfect party atmosphere.

Last Rodeo

Let's go girls, we have a bachelorette party to plan! This theme is an oldie but a goodie, so of course we had to include it. Just because it’s become extremely popular doesn’t mean there isn’t room for a creative twist.

To set this bachelorette party apart from the thousands you’ve seen on TikTok, you’re going to want to liven things up—literally. Book a live country band to line dance the night away, make plenty of cowgirl inspired espresso martinis, and don’t forget a balloon banner that says “[Bride’s name]’s Last Rodeo” for the perfect photo opps.

Sex and the City

Grab the girls and head to the city for a weekend of bachelorette festivities. If going to New York isn’t in the cards, bring the Big Apple vibes to you. Glam up like Carrie Bradshaw and her gal pals, book a professional bartender to whip up plenty of cosmopolitans, and find local food trucks to serve hot dogs and pretzels. Shop until you drop, dine at your favorite restaurant, or dance the night away at your favorite club, just like the Sex and The City characters.

Bonus points if they play “I’ll Be There For You!”

If the bride prefers a more hardcore and edgy vibe, this take on “until death do us part” is the perfect bachelorette party theme idea. Invite guests to dress in all black, use skull shaped decor, and book a temporary tattoo artist to achieve this party aesthetic. This way, no matter what the bride and her friends get tattooed, it will wash off before the wedding.

Great Gatsby

A little party never killed nobody, that’s why the Gatsby era of the roaring 20s is such an iconic bachelorette party theme! Dress like Daisy Buchanan, decorate the space in glittering gold and black decor, and book a 1920s band or swing dancers to bring this Gatsby-inspired soirée to life.

For a spring or summertime bachelorette get-together, we love the theme of “She Found Her Main Squeeze!” To pull off this theme you’ll need plenty of lemon decor (real and fake), delicious lemon treats like chicken piccata and iced lemon cake, and of course you’ll want to keep the lemonade and limoncello flowing. This theme channels all things bright and happy to achieve the perfect bachelorette party or bridal shower.
