Ilya Yashin sneaked into his bride's bachelorette party. They didn’t want to let him in, but he disguised himself as a security guard and dispersed the strippers

Advantages and disadvantages

A home party, which is usually held 1-7 days before the wedding, has many advantages:

relative savings . Relativity is associated with different organization options and costs for entertainment and refreshments;
comfortable atmosphere . The phrase “my home is my castle” fully describes the feelings of the future newlywed, especially if immediately after the celebration she is going to move to another house;
clearly limited circle of communication . Unlike a club, cafe or river boat, there will be only invited guests;
the ability to organize any props, menu, music, entertainment, outfits, and so on;
lack of restrictions on the part of the administration - it simply does not exist here.

Important : on the last points it is worth taking into account the opinions of relatives and neighbors . The latter can be very persistent, expressing dissatisfaction with music and noise in the evening or in the middle of the night.

It is worth considering one, but the key disadvantage of holding a bachelorette party at home is the need to organize everything yourself . The problem can be partially solved by reaching an agreement with the wedding organizers. However, in this case, you can forget about saving.

Before the start of the holiday, you should prepare :

choose a party style;
decide with your friends about the day of the event - it’s better so that no one has to take time off from work or give up planned activities;
find suitable props in advance, coordinate entertainment and menu, especially;
distribute roles between participants and choose an organizer .

Dancer's choice

Today, the entertainment industry is ready to offer ladies a wide selection of erotic dancers. As a rule, clubs and bars have their own websites or pages on social networks where you can get acquainted with the personalities of strippers. You should voice your preferences, then the administrator himself will select the most suitable man. Nuances of choice:

Tastes of the bride. This is taken into account first of all, because the holiday is in her honor. And the best girlfriends certainly know what kind of men the star of the evening prefers.
Subject. It's not a big deal, but a masked bandit would look silly at a pajama party.
Price. In this case, the price may not correspond to the quality.

Example Scenario

Considering that this is a holiday primarily for the bride, her wishes are considered a priority. Therefore, to have a fun evening, it is advisable to:

agree with the participants on what clothes are best to wear to the bachelorette party . A strict dress code is not necessary, but when organizing a “pajama party,” an evening dress will be out of place, and jeans will probably not be suitable for a gala reception in a private mansion. At a bachelorette party, people take a lot of active photographs, take selfies and videos, so the theme of the outfits is especially important. To distinguish the bride from the guests, her outfit may differ in color - traditional white is ideal;
agree on the start time and approximate duration of the holiday . The concept of “party” implies evening or night time, so usually hen parties start at 18...21 and end after midnight;
resolve the issue with gifts . Will they be available at all, who, when and how will give them to the bride.

How to spend the evening? Among the most popular options, there are two main ones.

Scenario 1 . A classic pajama party combined with home body/face/hair care treatments . For this option, you should stock up on supplies for spa treatments and organize enough space for all guests.

Approximate evening program:

19:00 — 19:30 — Collection
19:30 — 22:00 — “Beauty restoration” combined with watching a video or listening to music. At this time, any snacks and drinks are served as a buffet.
22:00 — 24:00 — Communication, a more substantial feast, exchange of gifts
24:00 — 01:00 — Parting or sleepover

Features of the holiday : informal clothing (pajamas, robes, swimsuits), a minimum of guests, a calm “homey” atmosphere.

Scenario 2: Dance party. The bride and her friends communicate, dance, and have fun to the music. The evening program is tailored to the venue. In a private house, you can extend the entertainment until the morning, in an apartment building it is better to finish by 11 - 12 pm and agree on the time of the holiday with your neighbors in advance:

17:00 — 19:00 — Gathering, greetings, gift exchange, photo session
19:00 — 22:00 - Dancing, competitions. In between - light snacks, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks
22:00 and later - Transition to quieter entertainment, driving around

Features of a bachelorette party : comfortable clothes for dancing (themed costumes are possible), light food, plenty of drinks, suitable music.

Important : in this scenario, guests may become very hungry, so it is advisable to serve more nutritious dishes and high-calorie desserts in the late afternoon .

Today, the possibilities for holding a bachelorette party are endless. It all depends on your imagination and budget. We offer you the top 10 ideas selected by us:

Outdoor picnic in Boho, Rustic style . This is a summer version of the event. An evening of bohemian relaxation in nature with friends.

A small amount of light cocktails will set the mood for a friendly conversation. Relaxing in a sauna with a swimming pool and relaxation treatments will refresh you and give you positive emotions.
Snowboarding and skydiving are activities not only for brutal men. For adrenaline lovers, we suggest having a bachelorette party in the most unusual place. Book a parachute jump or learn how to fly in a wind tunnel. Play paintball, go to the skating rink. There are many options for holding it, the main thing is that your friends share these hobbies.
Home bachelorette party. This option is perfect for those who do not want to turn the celebration into an evening of wild madness. Organize a culinary battle or invite a specialist to conduct a master class for the bride and guests. One of the varieties of a “home” bachelorette party is the popular “Pajama Party”. In a cozy atmosphere with only your closest friends, watch old photographs or a movie. Organize a competition for the best story about meeting the bride, play board games.
Bachelorette party in a creative workshop or dance studio. This is an option for the most active and inquisitive. Have fun and usefully - take dance lessons. Then you can surprise your wedding guests. Or attend a seminar or master class on some interesting topic.
Amusement park. A bright and creative way to spend a bachelorette party. Dress code: colorful dresses, suits. Go on the rides and have a lot of fun. If desired, the amusement park can be replaced, for example, with a water park.
Quest around the city. This is the most mysterious and intriguing option to celebrate a bachelorette party. Following the prescribed instructions, move from one point to another. It could be a walk down memory lane, or a chase for an interesting prize. You can continue the celebration in a cafe or restaurant.
Rent a limousine or small bus for the whole evening. Drive around the city, take a lot of funny photos. Along the way you can stop at various bars and clubs. If your city has navigable rivers, you can have a bachelorette party on a yacht.
Bachelorette party in the style of “Queen of the Dance Floor”. Book a table at a nightclub and have a night of dancing. Light up the dance floor! Well, what would a bachelorette party be without a hot male striptease? An alternative could be going to a bowling alley or karaoke bar.

When developing an event plan, you need to take into account, first of all, the interests of the bride.

Organizing a theme party is a more painstaking task.
Choose a theme, for example, “Hawaiian Party”, “Hipsters”, “80s Style Party”, “Retro Party”, “Mafia”. Warn your guests in advance so they have time to choose outfits and accessories. An integral part will be a fantastic photo shoot in costumes and a visit to the Jazz club.

Competitions

What games are suitable? Their choice depends, like the theme of the party, on the tastes and characteristics of the participants.

Among the most interesting options are:

Classic charades . Everything is simple here, one person thinks of a word and speaks it into the player’s ear (so that others don’t hear). The player must use gestures to show the hidden word . You can be fined or removed from the game for using sounds. For greater dynamics, it is permissible to break into teams and limit the time for guessing (up to 1-2 minutes).
Songs and films . You should prepare cards with words in advance (you can write nouns related to topics - wedding, love, family, husband and wife, everyday life, city, country, travel). Girls are divided into 2 or 3 teams. For each card drawn, the team must name the song (a line from a song) or the name of a movie (a scene from a movie) where this word is heard/present. An important rule for those who will write words on cards: before you write a word, you should make sure that you yourself can name the song in which such a word appears.
Coincidences . Girls are divided into two teams (3-5 people each). The presenter suggests a topic, for example, “husband and wife,” and the players write associations on this topic on pieces of paper (each on their own piece of paper; showing each other and conferring is prohibited). Time is limited to 30 seconds per topic. After this, the sheets are shown to the presenter and he estimates the number of matches for each team. Two or more matches of the same word are 1 point for the team. So, for example, if there are 5 people in a team and everyone wrote the word “marriage” on the topic “husband and wife,” then the team gets 1 point. In this way, several games are played, and then the winner is determined by the number of points.
“Assemble a puzzle of handsome men . This will require magazines with photographs of men. The images are cut into fragments (arms/legs/head/torso) and then “played out” between the participants. From the received fragments it is necessary to assemble a “puzzle”. The best option wins a prize. An alternative is to assemble a “map of the bride’s life” from pieces.
Home quest . The prize in this competition, intended specifically for the bride, can be a single gift from all her friends - for example, a gift certificate. The idea of the quest is the placement of clue keys in different places of the apartment/house, and all the keys should be associated either with the future spouse, or with the circumstances of the acquaintance/love of the bride and groom. Quest options may be different, including completing various original tasks “from family life”. An example is to list dishes that can be prepared from the proposed set or list of products (the bride is given a pre-prepared sheet with a list of products).
"Blind" answers . To do this, a number of cards with questions and answers are collected, which the party participants draw by lot (one is a question, the second is an answer). Another option is also possible - a question is voiced, the answer to it is selected from cards lying text down. The texts are selected so that their combination can be completely logical or completely absurd. You can write texts directly during the bachelorette party.
Cartoon voice . You must pre-order 10-15 balloons filled with helium. Extravagant tasks are written on the card in advance. The girls take turns drawing cards and must complete them by inhaling helium from the balloons. Helium acts on the vocal cords in such a way that the voice becomes like a “cartoon”. Examples of such tasks:
call and order pizza;

call your ex and talk to him for at least 5 minutes;

record yourself singing “The Hijacker” by Irina Allegrova (a cappella) and post it in Instagram stories;
go to your neighbors and ask for salt in a cartoon voice;
call a home improvement store and find out why towels require washing when they should only be used on clean hands;
call the metro information desk and find out if they have a dining car;
call your mom and say that you have a cold, find out how to treat your throat.

Attention: helium is safe to inhale, its effect wears off within 30-40 seconds. And don’t forget to record everything that happens on video, it will be really funny and you will want to rewatch many moments.

Where to begin

1. Although holding a bachelorette party is the business of the bridesmaids, the bride should not remain in the dark.
Long before the intended event, the bride needs to think about which of her bridesmaids she would like to see at the celebration. Your closest friends are invited to this event. After all, there should be people around with whom you feel comfortable and have fun. These are people with whom you can truly “break away” and chat about everything (including intimate topics).

These are people with whom we have traveled many paths, joyful and sad. These are people who do not need to be persuaded and simple truths do not need to be explained to them for a long time. In general, with this, everything is clear!

2. Now think about where you most often spend time with this group or most of this group. Bar? Club? Gym? Bathhouse? Bowling? Decide if it would be appropriate to use a bachelorette party theme at this location?

In principle, you can hold a bachelorette party at home or in a rented apartment. There are a lot of suitable places. Just use your imagination and find a room where you and your friends can really “hang out” and maybe cry?! Original solutions, that is, those invented specifically for your company, are better remembered.

3. Next, clearly calculate the date for which it is better to schedule a bachelorette party.
Since this event is best held on the weekend or at the end of the week, say on Friday, set a time convenient for all invitees. Leave plenty of time before the wedding. Even if you hold the event two weeks or a month in advance, that will be fine. But in two days - no!

After all, no one knows how your bachelorette party will end, and preparations for the wedding require strength, attention and health. Remember this.

4. Invitations to a bachelorette party in their original form are also welcome! Exclusive handmade cards or ordered from a printing house according to your design. Maybe the invitations will be in the form of “bandanas” that your friends will put on their heads or hands when entering the intended place. You will greatly please and surprise your friends by ordering them T-shirts with an inscription like: “Bachelorette party. We gather at 19.00 at the “night” club on Friday!” Arrange the rest.

5. Consider your clothes and shoes.
It should be convenient, comfortable, beautiful. If you want to have a common identification mark at the bachelorette party (this is now, as they say, “in trend”), prepare it yourself or tell the girls that you are expecting everyone in red dresses, or in white blouses and blue jeans, etc.

6. Let the information about the planned bachelorette party for your future husband remain unnoticed. Best of all, prepare your future husband that for some good reason you will not be with him on the planned evening.

Maybe you want to prepare for exams, or get some sleep, or even go to the village for a couple of days…. It’s not good to lie, but practice shows that not all grooms respond adequately to their girlfriends’ fantasies about holding bachelorette parties. They can even ruin your plans. It is better that the day of the bachelorette party and bachelor party coincide. Everyone will be busy with their friends and plans. There will be no offense. That's for sure!

7. Well, once again about the organizer of the holiday. It’s good if it turns out to be the bride’s best friend under her strict guidance. This may also be necessary for the purpose of making excuses for arriving late, or some kind of prank. The groom and parents may not fully understand everything. And here is your phrase: “After all, I didn’t know anything, this was a surprise from my friends. How could I refuse?!”

What to cook? Menu

When planning a menu for a bachelorette party, do not get carried away by the abundance or unusualness of dishes . Before the wedding, many girls deliberately go on a diet in order to look better in an elegant dress.

also not recommended to taste unusual foods - poisoning before the holiday has never made anyone happy.

Optimal set of dishes:

light snacks “for one bite” - canapé sandwiches, tartlets, portioned portions on skewers or in paper sockets;
a variety of low-calorie desserts - cupcakes, cakes, cookies, candies, sliced fruits, tartlets with fruits and berries;
non-alcoholic or low-alcohol drinks , cocktails.
a sushi menu, a pizza menu is possible , or you can limit yourself to desserts only.

Examples of light snacks:

Cocktail options for a home party:

Important : strong drinks or excess alcohol are inappropriate at a bachelorette party ! It is especially important to observe this rule for pregnant brides.

Creativity and tradition

Fun at a bachelorette party doesn't have to be limited to dancing and socializing.

You can arrange:

movie marathon . Watching your favorite films will bring your friends closer, remind you of exciting events and help you relax before the wedding;
karaoke . It is necessary to select “backing tracks” (recordings of music without a voice, with superimposed texts), and negotiate with neighbors;
board or computer games . Activity, Equivoki, UNO, and “Mafia” are suitable as “board games”. For lovers of battles on PS4 or X-Box, a joint tournament, for example in Mortal Combat or something less warlike, is perfect. At the end of the tournament, the winner receives some valuable prize (for example, a bottle of champagne);
handicraft party - creating wedding accessories (for example, bracelets for bridesmaids), master classes;
culinary duel . Here you need to take care in advance of a set of products, a place for cooking, and equipment;
Skype party . If it is not possible to get your friends together, a video conference will help create a festive atmosphere;
making a film . Joint editing of a love or friendship story from old photographs and videos, shooting new materials;
joint planning of bride price ;
“tea ceremony” , which can be successfully combined with tasting sushi and rolls, as well as Chinese or Korean dishes.
