Why Fuss With Bachelorette Party Decor?
We get it. At the end of the day, it’s about celebrating with your best people, right? But here’s the thing — decorations aren’t just about making things look cute (though, let’s be honest, that’s a big perk). They set the whole mood.
The second you walk into a space decked out with fun touches, you feel like you’re in for a good time. It’s the difference between a regular night out and a full-on event. Plus, let’s be real, a bachelorette party without an Insta-worthy backdrop? Unacceptable.
Bottom line: good decor gets people in the mood to celebrate, makes everything feel a little extra, and gives you all the photo ops you need. So yeah, it’s worth the fuss.
Do You Have to Pick a Theme?
Short answer? No. But should you? Absolutely. Listen, you can throw a bachelorette party without a theme, but where’s the fun in that?
A theme makes everything easier — decor, outfits, party favors — it all just clicks. Not to mention, it sets the tone from the jump. Whether you’re going for a tropical paradise, disco fever, or something totally out of the box, a theme gives the night some extra main character energy.
Think about it this way: Would you rather just hope your party looks good, or would you rather have a fully curated, ridiculously photogenic setup that makes every pic look like it came straight off Pinterest? Exactly.
What Are Some Popular Bachelorette Party Themes?
So, you’ve decided to go with a theme — solid choice. But now what? With literally endless ideas floating around social media, it can feel impossible to choose just one.
Do you go full glam or keep it chill? Should there be a dress code? Will there be a moment when everyone screams the bride’s name into the night sky? (Probably.)
To help narrow things down, we’ve rounded up some of the best bachelorette themes — each one guaranteed to bring the energy and make this party legendary.
Tropical Paradise
If the bride-to-be is all about sunshine, fruity cocktails, and pretending she lives on an island, this one’s a no-brainer. Think: palm leaves, fresh coconuts, and an open invitation to live in swimsuits all weekend.
The must-haves:
- Poolside everything. This is where the Tying the Knot Bundle comes in clutch — with the White Swan Pool Float for lounging, the Navy Floating Cabana Bar for sipping, and the Blue Ombre Mesh Lounger for peak relaxation.
- Beachy decor. String up fairy lights, throw in some rattan accents, and sprinkle in some seashell details for a total coastal cool aesthetic.
- Themed drinks. Bonus points if you serve them in coconuts. Even more bonus points if they have little umbrellas.
This theme is perfect for a weekend getaway in Miami, Palm Springs, or anywhere with a pool and an above-average amount of sunshine.
Retro 80s
Neon, leg warmers, and big hair — because nothing says party like a little time travel. The 80s were over-the-top in the best way possible, which makes this theme perfect for a bachelorette bash that’s all about color, chaos, and a little bit of nostalgia.
The must-haves:
- Dress code:Think spandex, bright colors, and funky patterns. If at least one person isn’t rocking a side ponytail, try again.
- A photo booth setup:Blow up some iconic 80s posters, add a few disposable cameras, and get ready for some chef’s kiss content.
- A soundtrack that slaps: Madonna, Prince, Cyndi Lauper — this playlist better be straight out of an old-school roller rink.
For an extra touch? Set up a “music video challenge” where each group reenacts an 80s music video (because what’s a bachelorette party without a little friendly competition?).
Disco Fever
If the bride’s motto is “Go big or go home,” it’s time to break out the sequins and hit the dance floor. A disco-themed bachelorette means nonstop energy, glitter, and making an entrance.
The must-haves:
- Disco balls. Everywhere.Hanging from the ceiling, on the table, floating in the pool (yep, our Disco Party Bundle has you covered). The shinier, the better.
- Glitzy outfits. Think metallic dresses, feather boas, and platform heels that may or may not be a terrible idea by the end of the night.
- A killer playlist. If "Dancing Queen" isn’t playing at least once, you’re doing it wrong.
This is the theme for brides who want maximum main character energy — bonus points if there’s a fog machine involved.
Hollywood Glam
Time to roll out the red carpet (literally). A Hollywood-themed bachelorette is all about dressing up, feeling famous, and embracing your inner celebrity for the night.
The must-haves:
- A dress code:Think elegant gowns, dramatic makeup, and heels that may or may not last the whole night.
- Red carpet & photo ops:Set up a “press wall” with fun backdrops, get some fake paparazzi (aka friends with cameras), and strike a pose.
- Signature cocktails:Dirty martinis? Champagne towers? Anything that screams expensive and fabulous.
Oh, and if you really want to commit? Create a fake awards show and hand out trophies for things like “Best Dance Moves” and “Most Likely to Order 3 a.m. Pizza.” Bonus points if someone ugly cries in their speech.
Vineyard Elegance
For the bride who’s more into wine flights than flashing lights, a vineyard-inspired bachelorette is effortlessly chic. It’s classy, laid-back, and somehow, wine just tastes better with a scenic backdrop.
The must-haves:
- A dreamy setting.If an actual vineyard isn’t in the cards, transform your Airbnb, backyard, or rental house into one with fairy lights, long wooden tables, and just enough greenery.
- Themed outfits.Flowy dresses, big sunglasses, and wide-brim hats. The vibe is luxury without trying too hard.
- Wine tasting, obviously.Go full sommelier with a tasting setup, or just grab a few bottles, some charcuterie, and call it a day.
This theme is perfect for the bride who loves an elegant, relaxed celebration with just a touch of chaos (because, let’s be real, things will get rowdy by glass number four).
Mermaid Lagoon
Pool party, but make it magical. If the bride has ever seriously considered growing a tail and living under the sea, this is her moment. Mermaid-themed bachelorettes are peak summer fun — especially when you go all out with the decor.
The must-haves:
- Underwater aesthetics:Think iridescent decorations, seashell accents, and an Electric Love Bundle for dreamy poolside lounging.
- Mermaid-inspired outfits:Swimsuits with glittery cover-ups, body shimmer, and maybe even a few actual mermaid tails (commit to the bit!).
- Themed drinks:Ocean-blue cocktails, coconut drinks, or even a "seafoam" punch with floating fruit.
Whether you’re hitting up a tropical destination or just turning the backyard into Ariel’s dream house, this theme is all about fun, fantasy, and a whole lot of shimmer.
Glamping Adventure
Does the bride love the outdoors but also love plush blankets, fairy lights, and indoor plumbing? Glamping is the move. It’s the perfect balance between adventurous and comfortable (because sleeping on the actual ground? Hard pass).
The must-haves:
- A cozy setup.Twinkling lights, boho rugs, and big, comfy pillows turn any tent into a Pinterest-worthy retreat.
- Matching pajamas. It’s giving old-school sleepover but upgraded — think chic, cozy, and just the right amount of extra. Bonus points for custom robes or sweatshirts with the bride’s name.
- Campfire cocktails. S’mores martinis? Boozy hot chocolate? Yes, please.
This one’s great for brides who want something different — something that feels laid-back but still totally Insta-worthy.
Spa Day Soirée
Some brides want wild. Others just want a full day of self-care and bottomless mimosas. If the idea of running around in stilettos sounds exhausting, this theme is a dream. It’s all about relaxation, indulgence, and feeling like a total queen.
The must-haves:
- Plush robes & slippers: Matching sets for the bridal squad make everything feel 10x more luxurious.
- DIY spa stations:Face masks, mani-pedis, and a build-your-own bath salt bar? Yes, please.
- A soft, dreamy setup: Candles, essential oils, and comfy lounge areas keep the mood calm and cozy.
And let’s not forget hydration (and by hydration, we mean bubbly). Whether you book a spa day or turn your condo into a mini wellness retreat, this theme guarantees pure, uninterrupted relaxation.
Pajama Party
If the bride is more about staying in than going all out, a pajama party bachelorette is the ultimate move. Think cozy, low-key, and packed with all the best sleepover energy — except this time, there’s champagne.
The must-haves:
- Matching jammies:Satin sets? Fuzzy onesies? Pick a theme and commit.
- Movie marathon setup:Lay out blankets, grab a projector, and queue up the rom-coms.
- Snacks & sips:Popcorn, candy, and a DIY cocktail (or hot chocolate) station keep things fun and easy.
The Love Story Bundle is perfect for this one — cozy heart-shaped floats double as extra lounging space because who says you can’t have a pool float in the living room? Add a few face masks, comfy pillows, and a playlist of throwback hits, and you've got the perfect chill-but-memorable bachelorette night.
