To some, it may seem like planning a lesbian bachelorette party is no different than planning most bachelorette parties, but that’s simply not the case. Remember, when coming up with lesbian bachelorette party ideas, you need to account for two brides and not just one. 

You’ll also need to think about how to bring together a bachelorette party for two different bride squads. That’s why we at Batch have come up with some awesome lesbian bachelorette party game ideas and tips that will help you throw the best bachelorette party ever. 

How Is a Lesbian Bachelorette Party Different

When planning and organizing a bachelorette for a lesbian couple, the main thing you want to ask yourself is this: “Should I throw two separate parties or make it a joint event?

If you wish to ensure you don’t make any accidental mistakes and plan your party without headaches, you can always ask the brides which option they prefer. That way, you can hit the ground running and organize everything based on the answer. 

Keep in mind that although many lesbian couples choose to have a joint bachelorette party—especially if they share the same circle of friends—that doesn’t always have to be the case. Some lesbian bachelorettes would still like to keep things a bit more traditional and have their last hooray on their own before tying the knot.

Who Should You Invite to Your Lesbian Bachelorette Party

Once you decide on how you’re going to organize your bachelorette party, it’s time to start thinking about who you want to invite. If you’re throwing your bachelorette party at home, try not to go too crazy with the guest list. If you’re planning a fun night out or a weekend away, you can go as small or big as you want. 

Usually, the Maid(s) of Honor, bridesmaids, as well as the closest friends and family, should have their spot on your guest list. But you can also invite your favorite work or childhood friends you haven’t seen in a while. Bachelorette parties are not strictly reserved for females, so make sure you include your guy friends as well if you feel like it.

Where Should You Host Your Bachelorette Party

When it comes to choosing the perfect location for your bachelorette party, the options you’ll have at your disposal are virtually limitless. As mentioned earlier, you can host your party at home and get your hands on some awesome supplies that will take the vibe to a whole new level.

These supplies can include, but are not limited to:

  • Fun and exciting bachelorette party games
  • A disco ball
  • Lesbian wedding-appropriate decor
  • A stripper pole for some added fun

You can also consider taking your party to a cool bachelorette destination and enjoying a weekend away. New Orleans, Nashville, San Francisco, Houston, and Miami are just some of the best places off the top of our heads, but you can choose any destination you deem fit.

If you opt for a destination bachelorette party, you should plan out your itinerary in advance and make sure you book accommodations, activities, experiences, and everything else in advance.

Another great idea for spending time with the brides before their big day revolves around planning a fun hen party with all of your friends that’s a little bit on the nerdy side. Hit the city and look for unique experiences that offer some food for thought. Check out our recommendations:

Bachelorette Party Options Centered Around Wellness and Pampering

With the big day approaching fast, you may wish to tone things down a bit and enjoy a nice, relaxing weekend with your ladies that’s full of pampering, wellness and self-care. So, make the theme of your bachelorette event center around relaxation and unwinding, and get ready to welcome your upcoming marriage with style. 

Don’t Forget the Essentials

No matter which activity, destination, or experience you decide to go with in the end, there are a few things you mustn’t forget.

Bring a Camera

Encourage everyone from your bride squad to bring their camera as well. Make room for new photos and snap anything and everything you find interesting. You can easily delete excess photos later, but you won’t be able to replicate some of the most unforgettable moments of your bachelorette party. 

Pack Some Sunscreen 

Just because you did not plan for a beach bachelorette party, that doesn’t mean you should forget about sunscreen! No matter where you go, how you choose to celebrate, or what you end up doing, remember to stay protected if you’re under the sun.

Get a Hangover Kit 

Drinks will probably be pouring left and right, and the last thing you want is to have a hangover headache the morning after as a reminder of just how much bubbly you had the night before. Having a hangover kit can alleviate your symptoms. 

Always Put Safety First 

As much as bachelorette parties are fun, they can easily become unhinged and get out of hand. So, make sure you always make safety your number one priority.

Don’t Forget About the Gifts!

Bachelorette party favors and gifts, although not necessary, are always more than welcome. Although there’s a difference between a bridal shower and a bachelorette party, you should still make sure every guest has a little something to take home that will remind them of your party and the fun you had together.
