How to Decorate for a Bachelorette Party

Whether you're throwing a bachelorette party in a private home or at a rented location, how you decorate is key. Decorations set the theme of a party and add to the festive atmosphere. Bachelorette party decorations can range from tasteful flower arrangements to raunchy posters and inflatables depending on the style of the party and the disposition of the bride and guests.

Things You'll Need

Instructions

Plan Decorations

1. Make a budget for how much you want to spend. The costs for decorations can add up quickly if you aren't paying attention.

2. Select one person or a group of people from your planning team to be in charge of getting decorations. It's best if someone controls the "vision" for the party so the decorations don't look haphazard.

3. Match decorations to the theme of the bachelorette party. For example, if you have a wine tasting theme, plan to decorate with fresh grapes in bowls, empty wine bottles and posters of wine country. Appropriate decorations set the scene from the moment your guests enter.

Buy Decorating Supplies

1. Select bachelorette party decorations from a site like Bachelorettepartyfun.com. Even the classiest parties should have a few silly bachelorette themed decorations as conversation starters.

2. Visit your local party store for balloons, streamers and other supplies to execute a color theme. Choosing one or a couple of colors to unify decorations around is a great way to pull everything together.

Put up Decorations

1. Select a few people or all of the bridesmaids to come early to help you decorate. This can take more time than you expect, so budget time accordingly.

2. Set the mood. Consider music and lighting part of decorating for the bachelorette party. Making a party playlist will keep you from having to DJ all night.

Tips & Warnings

• Make your own decorations to save money. For example, you can cut out different sized hearts from construction paper and hang them around the room for cheap, but effective, decorations.

• Take an early morning trip to the flower market to save money on fresh flowers. These markets usually open at 6 a.m. and are open to the public. Prices are cheap because this is where florists shop.

• Aim for mild embarrassment instead of humiliation when it comes to using racy decorations. If your guests are uncomfortable in their surroundings, it won't be fun for anyone.

• Use tacks to put up decorations. Tape can damage the walls when it is removed.
