Decorating for a Bachelorette Party

If you are feeling the pressure of decorating for your bestie’s bachelorette party and do not know where to start, we have got you covered. We have created a comprehensive guide to help you decorate and create a memorable party. From stylish bachelorette party decorations to fun bachelorette props, this guide will inspire you to bring your vision to life.

While there are many services you can use to handle this task, we are all about the DIY approach. This way, you can save money for other party essentials, like hiring a chef, getting a photographer, or chartering a boat. Plus, crafting your own bachelorette gift bags or setting up a stunning bachelorette balloon arch adds a personal touch. Do not forget to decorate the bachelorette party table with playful bachelorette veils and themed bachelorette streamers for extra flair.

So, here is your go-to guide for decorating your friend’s bachelorette party and creating a celebration to remember!

Let’s start with the basics. When it comes to decorating, the first step is to pick a theme or color scheme. We have a list of over 40 themes we love here, but remember, it is all about what suits the bride best. If you’re not sure about a theme, you can always stick to a color scheme. We love neutral decor with pops of shimmer. If the bride likes the color pink, you could always opt for a cottage core theme with pink decor, bachelorette balloons, and floral-printed napkins. The choice is yours, and we’re here to help you make it perfect. Divide and decorate! We break the decorating up into a few different zones, like the bachelorette party table or a feature area with a bachelorette balloon arch. Opt for all of them, or pick one or two, depending on your space.

The Brides Hotel Suite

Creating a special space for the bride is not just about the decorations; it is about the joy and excitement it brings her. It is also all about the vibes. The bachelorette party decorations help set the tone for the kind of vibe your party will have. This is a super fun way to make your bride feel extra special, bring good vibes, and easily set the mood with touches like a decorated bachelorette party table or playful bachelorette props. Surprise her by setting everything up before she gets to her suite—it will be a lovely surprise that starts the bachelorette party off on the right foot and gets the bride in the party mood.

There are a few key elements you should include when setting up the bride’s hotel suite.

Step 1: On-theme signs.

Set up bachelorette balloons or on-theme signs. You can find some incredibly cute banners and bubble letter balloons online. We are really into neutral bachelorette party decorations, but if you want something more on-theme or tailored to the bride’s favorite color, there are plenty of customizable banners and balloon options to choose from.

Step 2: Balloons Balloons and more balloons

Is there anything more fun than jumping onto a bed full of bachelorette balloons? We think not! Blow up a bunch of balloons and scatter them all over the floor and on the bed to create a playful and memorable touch for the bride’s suite. It is an extra sweet surprise that sets the perfect mood for the celebration. 

Step 3: Streamers

You want the bride’s hotel suite to be as Instagram-ready as possible. Hang up some bachelorette streamers over her headboard to create the perfect festive backdrop for a photo-worthy celebration.

Step 3: Bridal Bachelorette Swag

To make it even more special, you could have some bride gear waiting for her in the room. Place a bachelorette veil, bridal sunglasses, or a bridal sash in the suite. She can then take fun photos wearing them in her fully decked-out, festive bridal suite.

Photo Opportunity

One of the most important parts of any party, especially a bachelorette party, is taking photos. While you may create lasting memories during the celebration, photos help keep those moments alive. When it comes to capturing these memories, the bachelorette party decorations need to look amazing. Be sure to set up the perfect photo backdrop, complete with a bachelorette balloon arch or stylish bachelorette props, to make every picture Instagram-worthy.

There are a few ways to make a DIY photo booth. Here are some ideas to get your started.  

Balloon Arch

To give your photos the “wow” background you are looking for, you cannot go wrong with a stunning bachelorette balloon arch. These arches are typically customizable, allowing you to choose the perfect colors to match your theme. We recommend using two complementary colors to make the setup truly pop, creating a backdrop that is both stylish and memorable. 

Tinsel + Bachelorette Sign

You could also find a cute tinsel curtain to use as your backdrop. If you want a little extra sparkle in your photos and the overall vibe of the room, we highly recommend a tinsel curtain. Pair it with bachelorette balloons or bubble letter balloons for a picture-perfect setup. For a sparkly tinsel curtain, you will need a solid wall to hang it on and good lighting to ensure your photos turn out amazing. The last thing you want is for your photos to be too dark or fuzzy. Setting up the photo station outdoors or near a window will provide the best lighting for you and the girls.

Props

Do not forget to add some fun bachelorette props by your photo backdrop for the girls to use in their pictures. This is your chance to get creative and have fun with it. The goal is for your photos to stand out, and with the variety of bachelorette balloons, banners, and tinsel curtains available online, you will definitely achieve the look you are going for.

 

Main Table

We like to think of the bachelorette party table as the centerpiece of the celebration! This is where you can really go all out with the key bachelorette party decorations to match your theme.

An important piece of advice to remember with the bachelorette party table is that no decor detail is too small. We suggest starting by adding a bouquet of flowers—you can even give each bridesmaid an assignment to bring something for the table. Teamwork makes the dream work! If you prefer neutral colors, you could go with off-white hydrangeas, as they will fit in with practically any color scheme you choose.

Add some cute, fun candles to set the ambiance and help elevate the table’s look. There are some really pretty yet simple candle holders available online. Votive candles are a great way to achieve the effect you are looking for without over-staging the rest of your table decor. If you want a more dramatic effect, you could go with taper candles and elegant candle holders to enhance the vibe.

For dining sets, look into realistic disposable plates, silverware, and cups. There are some stunning dishware sets that look like fine china but are actually plastic, allowing you to enjoy a sophisticated look without worrying about washing dishes or packing them up afterward.

When it comes to the tablecloth, going simple is a great way to go. A plain tablecloth allows the other bachelorette party decorations to shine. We like the idea of pairing a simple tablecloth with a table runner to add dimension and a pop of color. If you want to keep it neutral, a white tablecloth with a beige table runner is simple yet effective and creates an elegant finish.

Gift bag station

Gift bags are a thoughtful gesture for those attending the bachelorette party. Whether your bachelorette celebration is a one-night event or spans an entire weekend, a small gift is a wonderful way to thank the guests for taking time out of their busy schedules to celebrate the big day. No matter what you include, the girls will appreciate the kind gesture. To make it extra special, consider gifting them something personalized, like bachelorette gift bags with their names on them.

Get creative with what you put inside the bags, tailoring them to the party theme and planned activities. For a pool or beach party, consider beach-themed bachelorette party favors such as towels, flip-flops, sunscreen, sunglasses, or even a cute pool floaty. Matching items like scrunchies, hats, or sunglasses not only add a cohesive touch but also create fun photo opportunities for the group.

For a bachelorette sleepover, personalized bags filled with sleep masks, nail polish, slippers, robes, or cozy essentials would be perfect. Planning a night out on the town? Fun bachelorette props like emergency hangover kits—complete with lip balm, makeup remover wipes, Tylenol, Gatorade, sunscreen, and Bandaids—are both practical and memorable. These ideas not only make your guests feel appreciated but also enhance your gift table, making it a decorative highlight of your bachelorette party decorations.
