Hosting a winter bachelorette party

kharrima

I just found out I will be hosting a bachelorette party this winter. She is a reserved bride and so are her friends. They don't drink a whole lot either. Does anyone have any entertaining ideas for foods, games, or anything else for this party?

would she want to do a spa type thing?  you could stay in/DIY or go out for it.

You could play Bunco or poker (Texas Hold 'Em, maybe?). To make it more "girly" you could order these cards and chips:

I went to a bachelorette party where they had a "Kiss the Guy" game. I think they bought it at a party supply store. Rather than the "pin the penis" games, the picture was a cartoon guy in boxers and your pins were lips. It's still Bachelorette-y, but more reserved.

This was me when I was getting married.  My sis had a lingerie shower at her house and had cocktails and apps.  She played two games- how well do you know the bride (a bachelorette party version from a party store) and pin the pen!s on the guy.  Both were fun even though I'm pretty reserved it gave us all a good laugh.  It was very laid back and casual.  You could always incorporate a wine tasting- if they arent big drinkers maybe they would like to just sample wines.

I was totally lame and went bowling.  We had a blast.

Could you maybe all take a cooking class together? 
Maybe a belly-dancing class?
I like the idea of a wine tasting too. 
A slumber party maybe?  You can do a marathon of wedding-related movies.

HTH!

For my bachelorette party, we all went out to eat at a Mexican place, then came back to my apartment, where my roommates surprised me with a lingerie shower. We had cake, snacks (like chips and ro-tel, pizza rolls, etc.) and spent the night. We ate, drank, played board games, gave each other mani/pedis and watched movies like Steel Magnolias and also the last episode of 90210 where Donna gets married. May sound lame, but it was fun for us. No one got sloppy drunk and we all stayed in one place.
