Celebrating the bride at her bachelorette party is one of the best ways to de-stress before the wedding and get to know her closest friends. While some brides prefer an exciting weekend bash, others would rather relax with their favorite people. If you’ve been tasked with planning a bachelorette party, your job is to put the bride’s interests first and then fill in the rest of the details.

Once you have a clear idea of how the bride wants to celebrate, the fun begins! Maybe your bride has a wedding theme she loves that you can incorporate into the bachelorette party. These themes range from wild and crazy to sophisticated and chill, so you can find the perfect theme to party with your crew. First, let’s take a look at the latest bach party trends…

What are the latest trends in bachelorette party themes?

Bachelorette parties are constantly changing with the times. So, what are the latest bach party trends for 2024?

We’ve seen several trends continuing from 2023, plus hot new trends emerging. Here are some highlights:

  • Summer bach parties – Spring used to be the most popular season for bachelorette parties, but with the rise of fall wedding popularity, we’re seeing more bashes in mid-to-late summer.
  • Bachelorette photo shoots – Forget about the wedding photos — the latest trend is to hire a professional photographer for your bachelorette party to capture lasting memories.
  • Short and sweet bridal bashes – As more people return to the office, many bachelorette parties return to pre-pandemic length: one night or a weekend.
  • Daytime parties – The combination of short weekends and summer parties has more bridal party events starting in the daytime, from mimosa brunches to lounging poolside.

To sum it up, sunny, quick, well-documented parties are all the rage in 2024. But that doesn’t mean you have to go with what’s popular! Consider your bride’s preferences and choose the pre-wedding activities that fit her style.

Feeling like you need a little inspo? Here are 60 fun ideas to get your creative juices flowing.

  • Brunch and Bubbly: Bring brunch to the bachelorette with a mimosa bar like this from Peachfully Chic.
  • Chop it Like it’s Hot Cooking Class: Test your kitchen skills and learn a new recipe with the girls by signing up for a cooking class. Pop open a bottle of bubbly and get cooking!
  • Kentucky Derby: Get “Down and Derby” with your bride squad as you eat southern comfort food and wear extravagant hats like this party from Oh Happy Day.
  • Garden Party: Host your own secret garden bachelorette and make your own floral bouquets or pick berries at a local farm.
  • Night in Paris: Celebrate in Parisian style by hosting a bash with macarons, champagne, and French eats.

For the Bride Who Loves to Dress Up

  • Rockstar: Party like a rockstar and dress as famous rockers before you hit the town.
  • 90s: If the bride is obsessed with all things 90s, have the bachelorette party dress up in vintage outfits and dance to your favorite 90s bands.
  • 80s: Girls just wanna have fun. Channel your inner Madonna and throw a bachelorette with big hair and tunes from the 80s.
  • Masquerade: Perfect for a New Orleans bachelorette party, grab some masks and beads and let the good times roll.
  • Gatsby: A little party never killed nobody! Dress up in flapper dancer outfits and throw a bach bash even Gatsby would be jealous of like this one from The Blissful Balance.
  • Breakfast at Tiffany’s: Tiffany blue decor and pearls set the scene for the perfect party. Have the girls wear their favorite little black dress and a pair of sunglasses to complete the theme.
  • The Royal Bachelorette: Make the bride feel like a true queen by throwing a royal bachelorette party complete with English treats and tea.
  • Come on Barbie, Let’s Go Party: Pink everything. Host a Malibu pool party or wear your brightest workout gear for a party that is both plastic and fantastic.
  • From Muggle to Mrs: Keep the butterbeer coming for the bride to be. Celebrate with your favorite wizards and solemnly swear you’ll be up to no good.
  • So Fetch Bachelorette: You can’t sip with us. Wear the classic pink outfits and watch the movie on repeat for a bachelorette inspired by Mean Girls.
  • Happily Ever After: For the fairytale bride, dress up as different princesses and throw a ball that doesn’t have to end at midnight.
  • F-R-I-E-N-D-S: The One Where She Gets Married. Pay tribute to the classic 90s TV show by hosting a party with Central Perk coffee and a yellow picture frame photo booth.
  • Unicorn: The bride found her unicorn! Throw her a magical bachelorette bash with glitter and rainbows to celebrate just how special she is.
  • Getting Meowied: If your favorite cat lady is tying the knot soon, plan her last meow with plenty of kitty-inspired decorations and maybe a few furry friends.
  • The Bachelorette: Who will get the final rose? Dress up in stunning cocktail dresses and bring out the roses and champagne. Bonus points if you stay in a bachelor-style mansion.
  • Pineapple: Party like a pineapple and host a party full of tropical flavors and decor.
  • Donut Delight: In case you ever needed an excuse to have a donut wall at your bachelorette party. Check out this donut board from Going for Grace for inspiration.
  • Sex and the City: This iconic girl squad makes the perfect theme for a bride who is both fabulous and sophisticated. Dress up as your favorite characters and play the TV series or movies in the background.

After all the fun of a bachelorette party and games to be played, you’ll need to pick out the perfect present for the bride to be. The bride may have just found her match, but she’s always had a strong group of supportive girls surrounding her.
