Planning a Barbie bachelorette party
The itinerary, the budget and the bride.
A Barbie bachelorette theme is a pink celebration for the bride before the wedding: bright outfits, a Barbie box photo booth, balloons, themed drinks and a night out with her friends. Consider it if you are looking for an easy theme, since guests can shop their own closets.
A sample itinerary
Brunch and mimosas, an afternoon by the pool or at a spa, getting ready together with a photo booth, then dinner and dancing.
Keep costs low
Make the color the dress code rather than buying costumes, and put the decor budget into one photo spot. Coordinated outfits run about $40 to $80 each as a Revelwick estimate, so keep them optional.
Ask the bride
Ask whether she wants to match the group or stand out in white, and whether she wants the theme for one evening or not at all.
Outfits from the closet, one photo booth, and one themed evening.
