How to Write Bachelorette Party Invitations Wording Like a Professional

Bachelorette party invitation wording is critical yet varies drastically depending on your planned activities.

As the Maid of Honor or designated bachelorette party coordinator, there’s a lot on your shoulders! In this post, we’ll teach you everything you need to know to craft the perfect bachelorette party invitation wording.

You’ll know which invitation components you need to include, get some ideas for bachelorette party themes, determine the best format for your party, and lay out a basic timeline.

Here’s How to Create the Best Bachelorette Party Invitation Wording

Bachelorette Party Invitation Components

The components that make up your bachelorette party invitations vary depending on how many things you have planned. Before diving into your bachelorette party invitation wording, note the components necessary for your party.

Most bachelorette party invitations include at least the basics: date, time, the bride’s name, and location. If you have an extensive weekend in the works, it’s best to give your guests more details to keep everyone on the same page.

Common bachelorette party invitation components:

• Date, Time, Name of the Bride, and Location
  • The most crucial of your components. Make sure this is triple-checked for accuracy.
• Itinerary, or List of Activities
  • Your guests will want to know what the festivities consist of. You don’t need to go into a ton of detail here, but listing the main activities excites everyone and keeps your event accessible.
• Dress Code
  • Let your guests know what to wear, including color-coordination, picture opportunities, or themes. If you’re supplying pieces of an outfit (sashes, crowns, etc), note that here.
• Theme
  • Not every bachelorette party needs a theme, but many have one! Let the other attendees know if you and the bride have decided on a theme.
• Accommodations and/or Transportation
  • This can be excluded if you keep the festivities local and relatively short, like an evening out. On the flip side, if you’re planning a tropical destination, this section will be extensive – and possibly laid out in a follow-up email.
• Gift and Contribution Expectations
  • By all means, gifts are not required or even expected at bachelorette parties. This being said, there’s a lot of confusion about bachelorette party gift etiquette. Do the guests a favor and let them know the expectations.
• Contacts
  • Trust me, there will be follow-up questions. As the bachelorette party coordinator, you’re the primary contact. Put your information here, and make sure to include any group methods of communication.

Styles and Themes

As mentioned above, most bachelorette parties have a theme. If a theme doesn’t seem like a good fit for your group, don’t sweat it – they’re not mandatory!

If a theme sounds fun for your group, the possibilities are endless! First, think of some fun themes that make sense for the crew. Taylor Swift fans? Dress in your favorite era and drink Swiftie-inspired cocktails. Is the group well-known for their true-crime knowledge? A murder mystery theme is right up your alley.

Use this list as a starting point to get some ideas flowing. Then, tailor your choices to the bride’s favorite things or inside jokes among your friends.

Popular Bachelorette Party Themes

• Colors, in general (neon, the bride’s favorite color, etc)
• Iconic TV Shows and Movies
• Foods
• Celebrities
• Decades/eras
• Destinations
• Activities

Bachelorette Party Invitations Wording Examples

The front of your invitation will set the tone and theme of the party. Once you’ve determined your bachelorette party theme, use it to find a cute way to start the invitation. Here are some theme-specific examples to show you what we mean:

• “You’re Invited to the Bride’s Last Rodeo” – cowgirl theme
• “Let’s Go Glamping with the Girls” – camping theme
• “Join us for [name]’s Last Disco” – 80’s or disco theme

If you don’t have a theme for your bachelorette party, determine the event’s tone. Then, choose the wording accordingly. Here are popular examples:

• Casual, Lighthearted
  • “Let’s Party!”
  • “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun”
• Semi-Formal
  • “Join us in Celebrating [name] for a Bachelorette Party”
• Formal
  • “Join us for a Black Tie Affair Celebrating [name]”
  • “You are Cordially Invited to the Bachelorette Event of the Season”

Design Tips

We’re happy to report that designing your bachelorette party invitations is easier than ever!

If you’re familiar with Canva, don’t sell yourself short on the ability to design the invitations yourself. Start with a Canva template, get some inspiration from Pinterest, and you’ll be surprised how professional your design can be.

If the thought of designing the invitations yourself makes you sweat, a pre-made template is the route you’ll want to take. Etsy has lots of freelance creators who design gorgeous invitation templates that are easily customizable.

Whether designing the invitations yourself or starting with a template, make sure you take time to put in some good effort. It will show, and the bride-to-be deserves it.

Formats

In the last ten years or so, digital invitations have become much more common – and perfectly acceptable.

Choosing between a digital or physical format for your bachelorette party invitation truly boils down to personal preference. I suggest both. Physical invitations are wonderful for keepsakes, and it’s not expensive to print out a handful of them – heck, you can even knock this out on your home printer.

Digital invitations have the ability to include many more details than their physical counterparts and can hyperlink – perfect for showing off accommodations or getting everyone in a Facebook group for regular communication.

Timeline

As I’m sure you’re aware, the wedding timeline is crucial. So crucial, in fact, that we wrote an entire post laying out how the bachelorette party fits in. Here are the most important notes:

• Practically the second the wedding date is set, it’s time to get moving on bachelorette party planning. Ideally, the party will be held a month or two before the wedding, and the date will be determined five to six months before that.
• If you’re planning a destination bachelorette party, you will likely want to iron out your details earlier.
• Remember to keep everything realistic. A Google form that asks questions about availability and budget can help a lot with this. Having a great time doesn’t require everyone to spend an arm and a leg.
