Commemorate the bride's last single night out with the perfect bachelorette party favors. As with all wedding-related decisions, this one should be personal, suited to the bride's own taste and in keeping with the night's festivities and location. If the bride prefers tasteful celebrations, avoid embarrassing her with erotic gifts. However, if the party has skipped the fine dining restaurant in favor of a wild night on the town, the racier gifts may be more appropriate. Whatever the circumstance, the right favors should pay tribute to this wonderful evening with good friends.
For the Sophisticate
With a girl who appreciates understated class, stay away from the phallic straws and look for something a bit more in keeping with the bride's personality. Take into account the setting and her interests to customize the favors.
If you live on the coast, or are having dinner on the beach, bamboo flip-flops are lovely take-aways that suit the occasion. You may also want to consider seashell-shaped soaps, or ocean-scented candles. On the other hand, if you are in the mountains, think about local honeys or preserves. These small and charming tokens will have guests remembering the loveliness of the place.
Other elegant gift ideas extend to little spa gifts, such as manicures, or small jewelry pieces---a charm with meaning, for instance. Whenever possible, use the bride's hobbies and causes to add intimacy to the gifts. If she has an interest in photography, think of engraved frames which may later hold a photograph from the night. For the girl who loves to read, a volume of love poetry would be a pretty memento. Don't forget the presentation---wedding dress gift boxes or faux Tiffany bags are always a good idea to add an extra touch. Be creative and remember that there are no hard and fast rules. The favors should be a nod toward the night, the bride and friends---something for everyone to smile about and enjoy.
For the Classy Party Girl
For the bachelorette party that knows how to celebrate in two styles, upscale restaurant and downtown martini bar, take the favors to a more spirited and adventurous level. After dinner, lighten up a bit and bring out the bright, feather boas. Many girls consider these tradition, after all. Sparkling tiaras are often personalized for each guest. Both these favors let everyone know you're out to have a great time, without being inappropriate.
Celebrate the bride's love of music with mixed CDs for all the party-goers. Engraved shot glasses or mini shakers also hit the mark for a bachelorette party full of guests who like to raise glasses and make toasts. If a lingerie shower has been involved, gift the girls with their own small package of lace and silk. Go for favors that make everyone laugh---mini Kama Sutra books have definitely achieved this in the past.
For the Wild Child
Here's to the bride who wants to party, have the time of her life and be as wild and inappropriate as she wants to be. It's time to whip out the erotica and turn up the heat. There is just no shortage of these favors. You will be deciding between penis whistles and edible underwear. This bachelorette party generally sees the girls accessorized to the hilt with taboo jewelry, T-shirts, even drink glasses. The goal here is to go all out and celebrate in a way you probably never will (and maybe never should) again.
In addition to these accoutrements, erotic fortune cookies are always good for a laugh as are, say, bags of candy hearts with naughty quotes. Furry handcuffs and suggestive massage oils also make the grade. If the bride is game, then outrageous party favors are the way to go.
