The Bachelorette
Bash
Hey, there's more to a great girls' night out than a bottle
of tequila and a male stripper—trust us!
Why should guys be the only ones entitled to a night of pre-wedding
bonding? Here are some beyond-the-male-stripper ideas for
your bachelorette blast.
"Sensual" home party
Invite a saleswoman to present items for your love life at your
house. Bond with your friends while you learn about and pass
around all sorts of unmentionables (such as lingerie, body lotions,
massage oils and chocolate body paint, for starters). Guarantee
a great sex life for years to come.
Ultimate grazing
On your bachelorette night, tempt your taste buds at a different
restaurant for each part of the meal. Cruise from course to
course in a limousine or trolley, or stroll through the neighborhood.
Start off at your preferred pub for cocktails, then wander from
appetizers to desserts at all your favorite establishments.
Who says you can't follow Pad Thai with some gelato?
Spa-da!
How about some serious self-improvement? Or should we say self-indulgence?
Book some spa time, and relax and revel in massages, facials,
manicures and pedicures. Hang out in a hot tub and gab with
your gals. You'll come out ready for your close-up.
Boys and girls together Buck tradition and have the best
of both worlds: your friends and fiancˇ. You and your loved
one can go out for dinner separately with your same-gender
friends and then join up with the whole gang for drinks and
dessert afterward.
Gourmet goodies
Chop first, feast later. Make an event out of concocting a culinary
delight. Your friends bring the raw ingredients for the main
course. You provide the appetizers to munch on while you cook.
Relish the good food—and great pals.
Pillow talk
So you're not 14 anymore. You can still unroll the sleeping
bags and heat up the hot cocoa. It's time for girls' night in.
Prance around in your PJs and dig into the junk food, because
tonight is the night for your old favorites, like Truth or Dare,
Sorry!, Scrabble and Trivial Pursuit.
Blast from the past
Run down memory lane with your best girlfriends at an old haunt.
Pull out the pictures from junior high and savor the stories
from back in the day. Suitable soundtracks (think Flashdance)
are a must.
The spirit is with you
Retreat to the beach or a nice warm cabin with your closest
girlfriends. Sit in a circle and pass around a conch shell:
Whoever holds it shares her thoughts and feelings about her
friendship with you. (If finding a large spiral shell becomes
a challenge, substitute some beautiful object for the conch.)
