Party-perfect gifts can add to the fun.
The bachelorette party can be reserved for presents that are more playful and less practical. While you don't have to give anything X-rated, a bachelorette party gift should indulge the bride-to-be's sense of fun. You can help her let loose with items that promote relaxation and make her forget about the stresses of the wedding for a little while.
Cocktail Accessories
Nothing gets the party started better than a new set of wine glasses, martini glasses, tumblers or shot glasses. You can add a cocktail shaker too. As an alternative, a "hangover kit" packed in a metal bucket (available at craft shops) with a gel eye mask, hand towels, bath salts, pain reliever pills, adhesive bandages and a sports drink is sure to be appreciated.
Massage or Spa Gift Certificate
Brides-to-be can experience some stressful times while planning the wedding, so a gift certificate for a massage or a day at the spa can be the perfect thing to help her unwind before her big day. Bath and body products or massage oils can be a less expensive option.
Personalized Swimwear or Lingerie
If your bride-to-be is going on a seaside honeymoon, a swimsuit with the words "Just Married" or "Mrs. [Name]" can celebrate her new status in a cute way. There are many websites that specialize in custom lettering that you can choose from.
You could also order personalized underwear for the new bride with the same kind of fun sayings.
Makeup Bag
A bold-looking makeup bag stocked with glamorous essentials, such as dramatic eye makeup and jewel-colored nail polish or an exotic fragrance is a fun and useful gift.
Playing Cards
If the bride-to-be is a card shark, it's not much of a gamble to give personalized playing cards. There are websites that provide custom decks, and some even have wedding-themed designs to choose from.
Bridal Hoodie
You could give the bride-to-be a tank top or T-shirt emblazoned with "Bride" or "Bridezilla"--or "Future Mrs. [Name]"--but if you're going to party, it might get cold by the end of the night. A hooded or plain-collared sweatshirt can feature the same messages, but it may be a more beneficial gift to late-night revelers.
Party Props
You can bring the party to the bride by providing the traditional bachelorette party props. You might start with a glittery tiara, an over-the-top hat or a super-silly wig, and add a feather boa or a fancy sash. It's fun to draw up a to-do list with daring "tasks" that the ladies can check off during the night, and a disposable camera can be included to record the party for posterity. Some X-rated items can be thrown in if they'll be appreciated.
