How to build a bachelorette party playlist
Simple steps for the maid of honor or whoever loves music most.
Ask the bride for her favorites
Start with three songs she loves, including one that means something to her and her partner.
Collect requests
Ask each guest for two songs, and keep the ones everyone knows.
Build it by moment
A playlist for getting ready, one for the drive, and one for late night at the house.
Order it
Upbeat and familiar first, the biggest dance songs before going out, slower songs at the end.
Match the theme
Add country for a last rodeo weekend, disco for a disco theme, or a full Taylor Swift bachelorette party playlist.
Download it
Save the playlist offline in case the rental or the car has a weak signal.

Choosing bachelorette songs
What makes a good party song for a bride and her friends.
The best bachelorette songs are fun, familiar and easy to sing: girl power anthems, love songs for the bride, throwbacks like the Spice Girls and Destiny's Child, and a few new favorites for the dance floor. Build the playlist around the moments of the party rather than one long shuffle.
Skip songs that could upset the bride
Leave out breakup songs she has mentioned, and anything connected to an ex. When in doubt, ask the maid of honor.
Use music in the games
A finish the lyric round, a name that tune game or a lip sync battle all work with the playlist above. See bachelorette party games for more ideas.
Songs everyone knows, in order. Then turn it up.
