Top Bachelorette Party Themes 2022 + Décor and Swag Ideas to Pull Them Off Effortlessly

/

That bachelorette party is a lot like the wedding in that you only get ONE chance to do it right. So even if the bride is requesting a low-key vibe, you still need to put some effort in to make it something special. (If you haven’t downloaded my MOH Manual & Workbook with a full bachelorette planning guide and worksheets - do so ASAP!) So before I get into my top bachelorette party themes - let’s talk about some SUPER EASY ways to make the bach party Pinterest-perfect, even on a budget.

Bach Party Must-Haves

#1 A Stunning Bachelorette Party Backdrop and Balloon Garland

This might look complicated, but I promise this is the EASIEST décor you can do for the weekend, and it will be a HUGE statement piece. Like you are going to blow the bride away, even if this is the only décor you do for the whole weekend. It’s also the easiest décor to bring with you in your carry-on on the plane since it folds up super small, and the balloons don’t take up any room until you blow them up. Also, if you haven’t done a balloon garland before, it’s much easier than one would think. Just order a kit either from Etsy or Amazon (I’ll link my favs below) so you have everything you need and plan on spending 30 min to an hour when you get there sipping on drinks and setting this up. It will be so worth it when you have such a cute, on-theme backdrop in all of your photos for the weekend. This can also be done for under $80. So low-key or boujee vibe…. do a backdrop and balloon garland. You won’t regret it.

#2 Matching Swag or a Coordinating Outfit Plan

Is it even a bachelorette party without a complete coordinating outfit plan?! Especially if you are all travelling together, you will want to do something. Even if it’s just hats! If matching t-shirts aren’t your vibe, you can still have your girls wear coordinating outfits for your nights out or a pool party or lake day. Just choose a color or a pattern, and let them pick their own! Then they can choose something that is their style and that they will actually wear again. AND they can choose how much they want to spend.

#3 On-Theme Bachelorette Party Props - cups, straws, koozies, shot glasses, etc.

This is a simple, inexpensive way to add a little bit more of the theme and colors into the bachelorette party - and you can choose if you want to go all out or if you just want to find a few budget items. Either way, it’s going to make the weekend a little bit more special and the pics a little bit more cute.

#4 Welcome Bags

This is something the bride should pay for and put together, but a next-level MOH can help her with it! There are tons of cute ideas for bachelorette party welcome bags, but the most bang for the buck here would be to include the matching shirts or hats, and even the matching drinkware! This adds to the vibe and also can be a little thank you gift from the bride.

#5 Custom Signs & On-Theme Décor

Just a few small things will go a long way - or you can go all out. If the bride really wants a lot of this kind of stuff, but you are struggling with the budget - ask the girls to all pitch in for it or ask her to help you out. A high maintenance bride won’t have a problem pitching in for the décor if she wants things to look a certain way.

Ok, now that we’ve covered the basics… let’s look at some themes and some specific bachelorette party décor and swag ideas for each theme! I picked these themes because they are super on-trend (so it’s easy to shop for them) and there are so many different ways to pull them off. You can really tailor the style and colors to the bride.


2022 Bachelorette Party Theme #1: Boho Final Fiesta

Final Fiesta has been a super popular theme for bachelorette parties for a really long time - but it used to be like piñatas and bright colors. The new 2022 twist on this is to do it boho-style - muted neutral colors like sage green, terracotta or some dusty pinks or blues with an emphasis on cactus and other boho décor. My favorite bachelorette party destinations for this theme are something in the desert like Palm Springs or Joshua Tree or Mexico (think Tulum, Cancun or Cabo). Check out my Top Bachelorette Party Destinations blog post for more destination and activity ideas! Here’s my shopping list for a super cute Boho Final Fiesta Bachelorette Party:

2022 Bachelorette Party Theme #2: Retro Dazed & Engaged

Retro is SO in right now and I am here for it. I LOVE the Dazed and Engaged bachelorette theme, but if that isn’t your vibe you could just do a retro theme. Here’s my shopping list for pulling off the perfect Retro Dazed & Engaged Bachelorette Party.

2022 Bachelorette Party Theme #3: 90’s or 2000’s theme best weekend ever

I am obsessed with this theme because I’m a 90’s baby AND because it reminds me of Taylor Swift’s album cover. There are SO many cute ways to incorporate this theme, including fanny packs, scrunchies and visors. All super cute and budget-friendly bachelorette swag! Here’s my shopping list for a super-cute 90’s or 2000’s Theme Best Weekend Ever Bachelorette Party:

2022 Bachelorette Party Theme #4: bride’s final disco

I love love love disco balls and neon colors. If your bride does too, this is the perfect theme for you! I also LOVE the idea of putting a country twist on it and doing a Disco Cowgirl bachelorette party theme, especially if you are doing a Nashville or Austin bachelorette party! Here’s my shopping list for the perfect Bride’s Final Disco Bachelorette Party:

2022 Bachelorette Party Theme #5: Camp bachelorette theme at the lake

If your bride is a bit outdoorsy - think camping, hiking, etc. and your bach party destination of choice is somewhere like Lake Tahoe or in the mountains of Colorado or California, this theme is SO cute! Here’s my shopping list for the perfect Camp Bachelorette or Lake Life Bachelorette Party:

There you have it - some easy shopping lists for my favorite bachelorette party themes for 2022! Here are a few other random bachelorette party must-haves that will make the experience a bit better - don’t forget the balloon pumps if you are doing a garland. These seriously make your life SO much easier!
