Bachelorette parties are a relatively new phenomenon when compared to the bachelor parties that inspired them. While men historically celebrated the end of their bachelorhood with a "stag" party, women did not have a similar tradition until modern times. These days, bachelorette parties are just as popular as bachelor parties, and there are just as many, if not more, bachelorette party supplies on the market to prove it.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Internet access

    Plan Your Supplies

  1. Step 1

    Create an overall budget for the party. There are lots of things that go into planning a bachelorette party, including invitations, decorations, games, food, entertainment and favors. Decide how much you can spend on supplies alone.

  2. Step 2

    Decide what supplies you need to buy. Invitations, decorations and favors are usually required.

  3. Step 3

    Select different people on your planning committee to be in charge of different supplies to buy. For instance, one person can be in charge of invitations, another decorations, another favors and so on. Dividing the work makes it easier to manage.

  4. Shop for Supplies

  5. Step 1

    Visit a party store to buy some of the generic supplies you might need, such as balloons, streamers, food serving materials and banners. Most of these stores also have bachelorette-themed party supplies, but they usually don't have a very wide selection.

  6. Step 2

    Visit a site like Bacheloretteparty.com to browse through a vast selection of party supplies created especially for bachelorette parties. You'll find invitations, decorations, favors, attire, gifts, games and more to outfit your party.

  7. Step 3

    Compare prices for bachelorette party supplies at various bachelorette-themed Web sites, including Bachelorette.com and Bachelorettepartyfun.com. Many of these sites sell the same products, but the prices may be slightly different among them.

  8. Step 4

    Select supplies that either match the theme of your party or fit the bachelorette theme overall. For example, you can get Mardi Gras beads for a Mardi Gras-themed party, or you can buy male model pin-up party hats for any themed bachelorette party.

Tips & Warnings
  • Buy more supplies per person than you think you need. You may have some guests that didn't RSVP, and you don't want them left out of the festivities.
  • Consider who will be coming to the bachelorette party before buying over-the-top supplies. Make sure whatever you select is age appropriate and won't make anyone too uncomfortable.
