1. A Glitz and Glam Party
For a glam party, all the party supplies need to be as fancy and glittery as possible. So, go ahead and go overboard on the decorations. Think Great Gatsby/Roaring 20s style! Have everyone dress up in their “ballroom finest,” play some amazing swing music, and dance the night away until the clock strikes midnight.
2. Karaoke Party
Everybody loves karaoke, and it’s without a doubt, one of the best ideas for a bachelorette New Year’s party. Choose the perfect songs to make this night unforgettable. The best part? You can go totally casual or super dressy. Totally up to you! Plus, it’s very easy to add extra guests if things change by the time the New Year rolls around.
3. Indoor Pool Party
It may be wise to leave the outdoor activities for another time, so what would be better than an indoor pool party on one of the coldest nights of the year? You and your friends can rent a house with an indoor pool and get everything started there!
4. Organize A Weekend Trip
If you and your friends are the adventurous types, it would be a great idea to rent a mountain cottage and spend the weekend there. It is the perfect backdrop for time with your friends. There is a wide variety of things to do: play games, have a glass of wine in front of the chimney, and even go skiing if you’re up for it!
Best Lesbian Bridal Shower Party Ideas
If you’re looking for something a little more low-key for your LGBTQ bridal shower, one of these ideas will work beautifully! Of course, they’re also great for a toned-down bachelorette party, too.

An amazing idea for a bridal shower would be a huge game-night. Play the classics like Truth or Dare, or Charades, and even bring up some of the more complicated games, such as Mysterium or Betrayal at House On The Hill!
2. Organize A Tea Party
Want a classy bachelorette party? Tea parties are the best things you can do. They are fancy, and cute and everyone will have a great time. Choose a theme you all like and start the preparations for the party!

A winter wonderland bridal shower party involves having as many white and Christmasy elements as possible. Bring up the fanciest decor, and maybe add some white themed lights to really spark up the atmosphere.

DIY beauty products are amazing, as long as you do it right, of course. You can find a lot of ideas and ingredients online, and make them all with your friends! Wouldn’t it be amazing to come up with a custom scent for the brides’ big day?
