Planning a bachelorette party at home? Instead of bar-hopping, spending a weekend in Nashville or Vegas, or going to a fancy resort, you can party at home with your bachelorettes! In this blog post, I’ll show you five tips to plan the best bachelorette party at-home and have fun relaxing with a Girls’ Night In.
At-Home Bachelorette Party Tips
Here are the seven most important essentials for a successful bachelorette party hosted at home.
1. Decorate your space!
The key to throwing a successful bachelorette party at home — or anywhere, really! — is to decorate the space. It doesn’t matter if you have a minimal budget or the sky’s the limit: you can transform any room into a memorable party zone for the bride-to-be with a few key accessories.
Your bachelorette party at home should have a banner, balloons, table linens, plates, cups, and party favors to make the place special.
Before you go out and buy a bunch of decorations, you’ll want to choose a theme.
What does the bride like? Perhaps she’s a Taylor Swift fan, loves the TV show Friends, wants an epic Last Rodeo, enjoys Disco music, etc.
Whatever it is, look up the theme: believe me, there’s a theme for everything. :)
Pick one and run with it! You’ll want to decorate your space with cute, on-trend finds (find them on Etsy here). There are banners, garlands, backdrops, funny signs, photo booth props, party favors, drink stirrers, and more in any theme you can imagine.
Then, have your bachelorette decor delivered to your door pre-party for setup.

4. Rent a photo booth.

5. Share photos.
Make your bachelorette party memorable by creating a photo sharing gallery for partygoers to upload their snapshots. Instead of putting them all on social media (yikes!), you can share them privately in a gallery that is only open to your fellow bachelorettes. Get yours from LiveShareNow here and use code EMMA10 at checkout for a discount.
6. Wear fun party shirts.
Don’t forget to gather t-shirts for your gals to wear: you don’t have to be headed out on the town to wear cute matching outfits. They’ll look nice in your photos!
You can get t-shirts from SunandFlowerApparel, like these (just one example from their shop):

If you’re having a girls’ night in, you’ll want some entertainment of some kind. Whether that means Netflix rom-coms on repeat in the background while you chat, spa pampering at home, or bachelorette party shenanigans, you’ll want some sort of fun and games to add to the mix. You can play this funny game:
