How to Throw a Winter Glam Bachelorette Party

Throwing a winter bachelorette party this year? A glitter-filled winter glam event is the perfect way to get everyone in the mood to celebrate with the bride-to-be, even if the weather outside is cold and gloomy.

1. Decorate With Glitzy Winter Décor

Surprise the bride and all of your guests with plenty of festive decorations. You can flex your DIY muscles and decorate with snowflake cutouts or glue glitter to just about anything. Metallic balloons, sequined table cloths, and sparkly branches will create a truly memorable party setting.

2. Set Up a Themed Drink Bar

Kick the pre-game up a notch and prepare a bar featuring your favorite winter drinks. Bubbly bars and boozy hot chocolate bars are always big crowd pleasers. You can also choose a signature cocktail for the evening (check out some tasty winter cocktail recipes here).

3. Dress the Part

Nothing says winter glam like sequins! Have your bachelorette crew rock their favorite sparkly outfits for a big night out on the town. Statement pieces or glittery makeup are also fun ways to dress up your usual look and get everyone pumped for a night of celebrating in style.

4. Serve a Sparkly Dessert

Don’t let the cocktails get all of the attention! Skip the stereotypical raunchy bachelorette party cake and opt instead for something impressive and classy. Sparkly icing and fun cake toppers add an extra bit of winter glam to your soirée.

5. Send Guests Home With Wintry Party Favors

Everyone loves a fun goody bag! Keep the winter glam theme going strong with cute party favors that will keep your girls warm even if there’s another Polar Vortex. Cozy gloves or hot chocolate kits work perfectly!
