"My guests have really liked the format and found it easy to use. The welcome page allows me to keep my guests up to date on progress, saving me lots of phone calls :) It's a blessing for all of those brides who dream of designing their own site and don't manage to find the time in the midst of all of the planning."

Christian Bachelorette Party
Do you want to throw a christian bachelorette party,
but aren't sure what to do? Or, are you looking for
bachelorette party ideas that will involve an evening
filled with good, clean fun? Either way, these
christian bachelorette party ideas are sure to be a
hit, without being boring or prudish.
First, a christian bachelorette party - or any
bachelorette party for that matter - should be a
special evening for the bachelorette, right? Well, a
special evening for anyone includes things they love -
their favorite foods, drinks, movies, activities, etc.
So, let's begin with the drinks for your christian
bachelorette party.
You can make lots of fun and sassy drinks to consume at
the party, but without the alcohol. Take a look at
these sites for some delicious non-alcoholic drink
recipes:
Next, the food for your christian bachelorette party.
Fill candy dishes with the bride's favorite candies and
snacks. Get all of the girls together to make the
bride's favorite dinner. Cooking is a wonderful
bonding experience and is a sure-fire way to break the
ice if there are lots of people who don't know each
other. While you are cooking, have the bride sit on a
stool and ask her lots of great in-depth questions.
For example, what are you most looking forward to about
being married? Or, where do you see yourself and the
groom in 20 years from now. Get the bride talking
about herself and the groom. Everyone is sure to learn
tons.
After dinner, give everyone a bit of a break to mill
around, use the bathroom, do their thing. But, don't
give them too long - there's still lots to accomplish.
Before your christian bachelorette party, ask all of
the guests to bring their favorite photo of the bride
with them (the invitation would be a good place to ask
this). Go to your local craft or scrapbooking store
and purchase some fancy papers and supplies (ribbons,
glue, stamps, ink pads, etc.).
Gather everyone back together, with their photos. Have
them make a page with the photo they have brought and
the supplies for a keepsake photo book for the bride.
They can write a personal message on their page or just
use their creativity to let their personality shine
through. The bride can make a page, too, but without a
photo. After the wedding, she can insert a wedding
photo as the last page of the book. Tie the book
together with some ribbon and the bride has a great
memory of the evening and of her friends! (For more ideas, see our article on Embossing Wedding Invitations.)
To top the evening off, make some popcorn and watch the
bride's favorite movie or play her favorite game. Send
everyone home with some of the bride's favorite candy
or another favor to remember the evening by.
The most important thing about your christian
bachelorette party is that it is fun for the bride.
So, be sure to do things she enjoys and will
appreciate. Don't be afraid to ask her beforehand if
there is anything in particular that she wants to do.
She might have some great thoughts for you!
