I'm Getting Married! Buy Me a Shot!

I'm going to a bachelorette party for a good friend of mine tonight, so that's what today's post is about. The Knot has provided a ton of great ideas for props, activities, and games for the big night besides the obligatory "Bachelorette" sash and penis straws. Here are the top 3 quintessential bachelorette party props:

1. The Tiara

A bachelorette party essential. You want everyone to know what to expect when they come across a huge group of girls screaming "She's getting married!"

2. The Dare List

A list of things that the bachelorette has to complete before the end of the night.

3. Male stripper

Enough said.

There really aren't any rules with a bachelorette party, it's really up to the bride. But here are a few things that should be remembered:

-It's not the best idea to have it the night before the wedding. The last thing a bride wants is to be hungover on her wedding day.

-The bachelor and bachelorette parties don't have to be on the same night. However, having them on the same night will leave no time for them to worry about what the other one is doing that night.

-Don't just assume that the bride wants a night of bar-hopping, flirting with strangers, and drinking till she pukes. Make sure she's comfortable with that type of party, or if she would rather have a day at the spa with the girls, or just go to a casual dinner for some girl talk.

-Always make sure the bride or one of the girls at the party calls the groom at the end of the night to let him know that his bride to be is safe and sound, and that he has nothing to worry about.

As long as the bride and the guests have fun, you can't really go wrong!
