Discover Retro Bachelorette Party Ideas
A bachelorette party with a vintage theme is a surefire way for the gals to have a blast.
Trying to conjure unique bachelorette party ideas is challenging. If you've been on loads of them or have lots of bachelorette parties in one year, you can feel a bit blase. Options on creating an alternative bachelorette party adventure may feel limited, particularly when your favorite search engines or Pinterest offers the same old tried and tested experiences.
One way to create an alternative bachelorette party is to theme it. With the recession still hanging over us, retro glamour has never been so in vogue. Think vintage clothes, your grannies tea set, reworked interiors, and 50s make up. Our society is booming with the return of bloomers. Vintage is in with a vengeance.
Vintage Themed Dance Party
One way to make your bachelorette party different is to theme it around the craze. Organizing a vintage themed hen party is simple and effective, and your gals will love harking back to a bygone era. Dressing up in 50s themed outfits is easy to do. Your friends will be grateful for not having to trawl through dressing up shops. All for a tight lycra onesie or shiny neon tutu. A retro theme bachelorette party offers sophistication and class. There can still be bubbles, but you'll probably want to sup them from a teacup.
There's a range of vintage-themed bachelorette party activities to fit with your retro bridal shower idea. Choose from a glamorous retro makeover or a 1920s themed dance part. A vintage costume workshop is great for gals who love to create. A burlesque masterclass or pole dance lessons will appeal to the active ladies. Perhaps a British afternoon tea with elegant finger foods and lace doilies for fans of royalty.
90s Themed Hen Party
The 90s are back, and boy, am I happy about it. (Although I can't deny it makes you feel a little old when you can remember things the first time!) Oh, what an era to resurrect. I'm thinking shell suits, MC Hammer pants, early hip hop fashion, grunge, running man moves... All set to a Brit-pop soundtrack. I loved growing up in the 90s. If I were to have another bachelorette party, I would definitely throw it with a fun 90s theme. The dress code would be simple and effective (sweatbands galore!), and there are a whole host of alternative party ideas to fit with a 90s themed party. You could throw a 90s themed dance party, for example. You and your 'mandem' could be swinging those MC Hammer pants and doing the running man in a dance battle extravaganza. Other 90s fashion ideas include the chain wallet, ripped jeans, Or maybe you'd rather re-enact the Tom Cruise classic 'Cocktail' and have a cocktail masterclass. You could hire a male stripper to teach the class before he does his duty! Or perhaps you are after more of a crafty lady and like to embrace your 90s youth's hobbies. Perhaps some pottery painting or embroidery.
Get your shell suits ready for your 90′s themed bachelorette party!
Whatever alternative bridal shower activities you choose, theming it around something of meaning - such as the 90s if you grew up in that era - adds a fun element. Plus, the ease that a theme instantly creates easy and effective fancy dress options. From bucket hats to L.A. Lites sneakers, the possibilities are endless. Although I don't have a 90s hen party to go to this year, I might just have to go do some running man in my hammer pants right now...
