We have corralled some of the most fun, (mostly) classy, and wild bachelorette party ideas out there. Plus, to ensure there’s a match for every personality, we’ve even added a few that are a bit more low-key and laid back.

In addition to plenty of bachelorette party themes for her last hurrah, we’ve included decor and outfit inspo, some bachelorette party activities and party favor ideas. These pro tips will help you nail the vibe, get all the girls on the same page, and host the best bachelorette party ever. 

9 Wild Bachelorette Party Ideas for a Memorable Bash

There are oodles of ways to plan a successful and fun bachelorette party, but nailing down a theme is one of the first things you need to check off the list. Before getting married to a theme though, it’s best to:

• See if the bride-to-be has anything specific in mind for the celebration — maybe there’s a wild bachelorette party idea she has been wanting to try.
• Ask what vibe she’s going for.
• Get a list of who the bride wants to invite.
• Learn what the other bridesmaids and friends would be comfortable spending on the occasion. 

After you’ve had those conversations, go wild and start planning away! To make the planning even easier, we’ve also included a digital invitation design that matches each bachelorette party theme idea.

1. Cowgirl Hoedown

Design: Annie Montgomery Design | Country Charm Invitation

If the bride-to-be has a lot of southern charm and is a country music enthusiast, saddle up for a cowgirl-themed celebration. Think fringed jackets and pants, plaid shirts, cowgirl hats, and matching boots for the bridesmaids. Have the gang chip in for a bedazzled pair of white cowboy boots just for the bride. 

If you’re keeping it local, see if there’s a nearby barn you could rent for the day and dress it up with hay bales, horse shoes, and checkered tablecloths. Or, if the bridal party is able to splurge, head to Nashville for the weekend. Incorporate a night out with some line dancing, mechanical bull riding, a party bus with a custom playlist, and maybe even some country karaoke to hit the right note. You’re sure to have a rootin’ tootin’ time — yeehaw!

2. Pool Party 

Design: Signature Greenvelope | Stir it Up Invitation

Dive into a bachelorette weekend of fun by taking a trip to paradise — or relaxing by a friend’s backyard pool — with the girls. Either way, having a poolside party is a refreshing way to soak in the last fling before the ring. 

Coordinate swimsuits or cover-ups, and buy some matching floppy hats or sunglasses as party favors for the occasion. Top it off with oversized floaties, drink umbrellas, tiki torches, and tropical frozen drinks. 

If the group is more active, plan some pool games (chicken fight anyone?), or tee up a playlist of the bride’s favorite songs and some Taylor Swift tunes to have a poolside dance party. Don’t forget to take pictures!

3. Big City Getaway

Design: Stacey Meacham Design, llc | Vegas Style Invitation

There’s something about the buzz and energy of a big city that is contagious. If the honoree has a bucket list city that the bridal party can afford, go all in on a big city getaway. While there are lots of cities to consider, New York City, Las Vegas, Nashville, Chicago, and New Orleans are popular destinations with unique and exciting vibes.

Take NYC for example. The city that never sleeps gives the perfect backdrop and style for endless photoshoots, thrilling attractions, loads of shopping, exhilarating sights (think Time Square, Central Park, the Empire State Building, etc.), and exceptional Broadway performances. Have the gang pack a mix of comfortable walking attire with cocktail dresses and fancy accessories to dress up for a night out. 

For a different vibe, plan a classic Las Vegas weekend! The strip is fun for all sorts of occasions, and a bach party is no exception. Dress to the nines, scope out the best local club or show for a night out (Chippendales anyone?), and make sure the bride-to-be is adorned with a glittery sash. Be a lifesaver and pack mini hangover kits for the gang.

Vegas is also a great option for co-ed bachelorette and bachelor parties.

4. Adventure Hunt

Design: Signature Greenvelope | Glam Arch Invitation

Turn the pre-big day celebration into a scavenger hunt or, in this case, an adventure hunt. Go to a local town she’s never visited (or just her favorite place), and make a “bucket list” of sights to see and activities to participate in. Snap photos along the way, and make a photo album at the end of the bachelorette party activities as a take-home for the honoree.

Be sure to add some low-key ideas to the list like going to a local restaurant or buying something for the bride in a local store, and incorporate some wild bachelorette party ideas for the hunt as well. Need ideas? Consider horseback riding, taking a pole dancing class, laser tag, ziplining, an escape room, paintball, or karaoke. 

Ensure the girls know how they should dress, or if they need to pack a few specific options for the adventure.

5. Skydive Trip

Design: Signature Greenvelope | Wild Party Invitation

Speaking of adventure, not much can beat skydiving. If she’s not afraid of heights, give her the chance to take a leap before the walk down the aisle. This Instagram-worthy celebration is one wild bachelorette party idea that will be remembered by all.

If the thought of jumping out of a plane is a little too much excitement for the honoree, look for a nearby indoor sky diving center. Either way, dress sporty for the activity, and warm for a higher altitude.

6. Amusement Park Day

Design: Owl and Toad | Offset Arch Invitation

Even if skydiving isn’t her thing, if she’s a natural thrill seeker, book a trip to an amusement park for a lower-key adrenaline rush. Amusement parks like Cedar Point and Universal Studios offer a wide range of rides, ensuring everyone in the group will have a great time, regardless if they would rather sit out the roller coaster with a 300-foot drop. 

Don’t forget your walking shoes for this one! 

7. Cooking Class

Design: Jen Montgomery | Fondue Fun Invitation

Add some spice to the bach party by booking a cooking class. If the guest of honor is already well-versed in the kitchen, walk on the wild side and spring for a class that offers something a little more exotic, like sushi rolling or Creole cuisine making. 

For more flavor, bring along some new beverages to try (if allowed) and incorporate a team challenge or blindfolded food challenge (no peeking!) for bachelorette party games. Top off the activity by donning aprons that say “Bride,” “Maid of Honor,” and “Bridesmaid.”

8. Spa Day Glow-Up

Design: Jen Montgomery | Manis & Mimosas Invitation

It may not sound wild, but a spa day can be wildly invigorating. It’s even possible the bride-to-be hasn’t treated herself to a spa day in the past, making the idea even more enticing. Wear comfortable clothes, gift the bride-to-be with a robe embroidered with “bride,” grab matching slippers for the crew, breathe in the calming aromas, and relax. 

Ensure to ask the guest of honor what service(s) she’s most interested in and ask the rest of the bridal party to chip in to cover them. Most spas serve champagne, so be sure to offer a sweet toast to the start of an amazing gathering of friends and the bride-to-be’s impending nuptials. If the spa is scheduled early, follow it up with brunch with bottomless mimosas, or if it’s later, a night out on the town.

9. Chick Flick Sleepover

Design: Signature Greenvelope | Starlight Cinema Invitation

When’s the last time you, the bride, and your besties all got together to have a rom-com movie marathon, or better yet, a sleepover? The upcoming nuptials are the perfect excuse to get the bride’s best friends together for a sleepover, kick back, talk about old times, exchange celebrity gossip, and watch new and old chick flicks.   

Make it extra special with matching silky pajamas and slippers, extra fluffy pillows (pillow fight!), fairy lights, and a snack bar. If you’re all able to clear the weekend for it, rent an Airbnb with the other bridesmaids to host the whole group. Don’t forget to queue up the bride’s favorite flicks, and to make it wild, aim for some steamy flicks and incorporate some bachelorette party games like blush-worthy trivia or a rousing game of truth or dare.

Remember, hosting a bachelorette party isn’t a competition to spend the most money or have the best wild bachelorette party idea. It’s about the heart you and the crew put into the day and creating a fun and memorable bachelorette party for your bestie and her closest friends.
