I had a friend use this theme recently and WOW it was gorgeous. It felt whimsical and dreamy, like something out of a fairytale! So if that’s the kind of feminine beauty you want to enjoy before the big day, definitely use this theme!! It could be held inside a butterfly garden, arboretum, gazebo, or even inside!

Whether you actually go to Italy or simply embrace the Italian’s love of love, “That’s Amore!” is a beautiful theme that can inspire all kinds of pre-wedding memories and adventures. Think lemons, beautiful coast lines, ancient architecture and delicious food! Maybe you and your girls could take a trip to the Amalfi coast, make pasta together, enjoy a glass of wine, spend a day at the beach, or dress up like old money. No matter what, it’s sure to be *chef’s kiss*!
5. “Till Death Do Us Part” – Gothic/Grunge
Where are my angsty girls at? This party theme is for the ones who love all things dark, grunge, and hardcore. This kind of theme is perfect for incorporating things like disco balls, skeletons, lighting bolts, and more. Use this theme to throw an absolute rager of a party and send your soon-to-be-bride off in a real BANG!
6. “Dazed and Engaged” – Disco
Bright colors + Disco balls + Big hair = a night like none other! Throw it back to the 70’s and 80’s with a disco skate night, some karaoke singing, or some wildly colorful outfits. For the girls who love to put their hands in the air, dance like they don’t care, and vibe with the music, this party theme is dream come true!!
7. “Her Last Rodeo” – Cowgirl/Country
This one’s a classic bridal shower/bachelorette party theme, but that’s just cuz it is so dang good! A lot of people go with a pink, white, and cow print color scheme, but you can make it whatever you want. Just imagine all your best friends lined up in their boots and cowgirl hats.

We’ve all dreamed of being princesses, and so why not be one for a day with a Princess Diaries themed bridal shower or bachelorette party?!? It’s the perfect opportunity to enjoy a movie moment in real life with m&m’s pizza, corn dogs with mustard, tea, and maybe even mattress surfing!

It’s the perfect opportunity for a destination party or wild night in!
11. “She’s Tying The Knot” – Garden Party/Picnic
Picnic with the girls sounds like the most delightful way to make memories together. You could chat, watercolor, enjoy charcuterie boards, or even share memories while watching the clouds. This is the kind of party that is super easy to customize with colors, decorations, and the party location. It’s calm, refreshing, and sweet. So, tell your guests to put on their sundresses, tie ribbons in their hair, and bask in the sunshine.

There’s lots of room to select party activities and tons of memories to be made with your engaged girly!
13. “Pamper the Bride” – Sleepover/ Girl’s Night
This is one of my favorite bachelorette party themes that I have attended. There are just so many activity options for this one. Think bath bombs, yoga, facials, hot tubbing, candle making, and SO much more. Not to mention the fact that wedding planning can be so stressful! This kind of party may be just the thing your bride needs to relax and truly enjoy her upcoming wedding day.
14. “Brunch and Mingle Cuz She’s No Longer Single” – Brunch
Sometimes, getting all the bridesmaids and other friends together in the evening can be hard. If that’s the case, a brunch party is the perfect way to get everyone together.
