How to choose gifts for a bachelorette party?
A bachelorette party is a special occasion. This is a holiday that symbolizes the border between a free life and family happiness. On this day, fun is mixed with joyful anticipation of change and touching memories of a carefree youth. The bride shares her emotions with her close friends, and they, in turn, rejoice for the girl and present her with gifts.
To remember the last bachelor party for a long time it should be full of vivid emotions and pleasant surprises. This article will tell you how to choose a gift for a bachelorette party.
What to consider when choosing?
When choosing a present, it is worth considering a few points. The character, hobbies of the bride, her views on family life, desires and dreams are important. Maybe the girl is expecting practical gifts that will be useful to her and her future spouse, or maybe she will be delighted with the creative ideas of her friends.
The degree of closeness of friendship with the bride should also be taken into account. If you are not very familiar, it is best to refuse humorous and overly personal gifts. In this case, universal and pleasant little things will be appropriate (handmade soap, foam or bath salt, various certificates, etc.).
Before choosing a presentation, you should consult with other invitees. This will help you avoid repetitive ideas. An excellent solution would be drawing up a general list of gifts. You will be able to include in it both material things and something for the soul.
After that, you can distribute the gifts between the bridesmaids.
Another option is combine the budget and give the girl one big expensive present (for example, something from household appliances or a trip to the sea). Usually, such things are presented for the wedding itself, but if the future happy wife has two big dreams that you can realize, you can leave one of them for a bachelorette party.
Spicy presents
A gift from a close friend with an intimate connotation on a day like this might be appropriate. It can be a luxurious lace set for the first wedding night or a silk robe that will slay the future spouse on the spot for the entire honeymoon. Of course, in this case, you need to know exactly the size of the bride and her taste (preferences regarding the style and color of linen).
If the bride belongs to the liberated girls, you can surprise her with a costume for role-playing games with her chosen one. Another bold option is fluffy handcuffs. However, if you are not sure how the girl will perceive such a present, it is better not to risk it and settle for a less extravagant decision.
You should not put the hero of the occasion in an awkward position.
An invitation to a bachelorette party of a professional stripper is considered a "classic" version of a surprise. In a relaxed female company, a hot dance of a naked handsome man can become the culmination of the evening. Although it is worth noting that not everyone can appreciate such a present. Therefore, it is important to know well the character of the hero of the occasion in order to assume her reaction.
For memory
If your friendship has been around for many years, keepsakes will be some of the best.
- For example, you can make an album with shared photos. Supplement it with touching comments and wishes for the future. This can be a homemade scrapbooking technique or a book professionally made in a photo studio. If there are not many photos, a photo collage is a great alternative.
- A mini-movie or slideshow is just as great. You can watch it with the whole company, remember the brightest moments together, laugh and thank each other for their support and dedication.
- Piggy bank tips - an original and very cute gift. You can take a beautiful jar or box and put there wishes and parting words from each invitee to the party.
Celebration organization
The pre-wedding bustle sometimes takes up all your free time. Taking care of organizing a bachelorette party is a great way to give the bride her friendly support. The main thing is to consult with the girl, find out her wishes. If she completely trusts your taste and is ready for surprises, you can get creative. There are many options:
- a pajama party with watching your favorite movies and fun contests;
- limousine rental for walking around the city at night with champagne;
- fun in a restaurant or nightclub;
- spa day in a luxury salon;
- picnic (subject to warm and dry weather).
PHOTOSESSION
This option is worth considering separately. Many girls appreciate the professionally taken pictures. The certificate will allow the bride to decide whether she wants to visit the photographer alone or with her future husband.
The story of the birth of romantic love, filmed in a beautiful studio or outdoors in a picturesque location, will be a great start to family life.
Gifts by interest
A great option is a gift related to the bride's hobbies. If a girl is fond of needlework, a set of thematic devices will come in handy. If she has long wanted to take up dancing, a dance studio subscription will be a pleasant surprise. An e-book can be presented to a lover of reading, and a parachute jump to an extreme young lady.
For the wedding
If you know for sure that the girl did not have time to purchase some important wedding item, you can help her in this matter. It can be an accessory that will complete the image of the bride (garter, stockings, gloves, jewelry).Or it can be a detail necessary for organizing a celebration (beautiful glasses, a pillow for rings, figurines for decorating a cake). Another option is a paid suite. In it, newlyweds will be able to spend a magical wedding night.
For future family life
Gifts that will enhance the comfort of prospective spouses are great for a bachelorette party.

- Breakfast tray will allow spouses to enjoy romantic breakfasts in bed.
- Luxury bedding set - an appropriate and useful present.
- Fluffy blanket, stylish curtains, original lamps and other decor items will create coziness in the house of a new family. However, when choosing such items in the store, one should take into account the tastes of the young and the peculiarities of the interior of their home.
- A romantic walk. Not all newlyweds go on honeymoon to distant countries. Some families do not have this opportunity. In this case, the spouses will be pleased with the possibility of an unusual time together. It can be a horse ride or a hot air balloon ride. In any case, the surprise will be unforgettable.
Humor
If the bride is one of the cheerful people, and her friends like to joke, you can use one of the many humorous ideas.

- Accessory, distinguishing the future spouse from the cheerful girlish crowd (veil, diadem), will be appropriate in a restaurant.
- Original comic presentations on the topic of future family life. The Do Not Disturb door sign will make your honeymoon wishes come true.
- Paired T-shirts with the words "Happy Husband" and "Happy Wife" can become comfortable home clothes for a young couple after the wedding.
- Rolling pin "Relationship regulator" will amuse the bride... Such an item should be combined with the wish never to use it in everyday life.
- A humorous guide to family life can be supplemented with a remote control to control your spouse. Buttons "stop snoring", "agree", "fulfill any desire" and others will allow the girl to dream. Of course, in reality, such a remote control will not work, but at a bachelorette party it will become a reason for fun.
Practical options
In some cases, functional presents can be the most desirable. Such gifts will also be appropriate in the case of a not too close acquaintance with the bride.
- The certificate is a universal option. You can indulge her with spa treatments, or let her choose from a cosmetics and perfume store.
- Perfume or cosmetics. If you know your friend's tastes for sure, you can choose and beautifully pack a perfume or cosmetic set yourself.

- Quality suitcase... This item can be very symbolic if a young couple is going to travel after marriage.
Sweets
If the bride loves sweets, a beautifully decorated basket with flowers, cakes and sweets will give her a lot of positive emotions. Another delicious set includes jam, honey, fruits and berries.
