How to Select a Bachelorette Theme
When you select a theme for your bachelorette party, you give the party an identity. Having a cohesive theme makes your party stand out from others and helps you make decisions about decorations, invitations, favors and games. A theme can be anything from a decade to a hobby. The options are only limited by your creativity.

Select decorations that fit your theme. Party stores are great places to find inexpensive decorations like streamers and balloons, but you might need to use some more creativity than that.

Tips & Warnings
Steal ideas from other bachelorette parties you liked. If the party was for someone the bride doesn't know, she won't know the difference.
Invite your guests to dress to match the theme in the invitation. This can actually help you decorate your party.
Pick a theme you feel confident executing. Some themes, such as a luau, require more effort than others.
Consider the disposition of the bride before deciding on a theme. While you might think a party themed around her ex-boyfriends is hilarious, she might not.
