Don't overspend on decorations

It is understandable that people want decorations at a party. They add atmosphere and give the whole room a party feel. However, bachelorette party decorations are one area where you can spend a ton of money. Plain balloons, streamers and paper goods can be significantly cheaper than ones that say "bachelorette party" on them. Will you really take anything away from the party atmosphere if you don't purchase theme-specific decorations? The most important thing is to provide a room that is festive and contributes to the overall party feeling. Check your local party supply store and dollar stores for cheap party decorations.

If you must have decorations that say bachelorette party on them, take your time and search online. You might be able to find some that are cheap but still nice.

Save on invitations

Who really remembers what a party invitation looks like after the party? Only the bride to be and the person who sends out the invitations will remember what they look like. People keep party invitations until the party happens, and then they will throw them out. Why spend a fortune on bachelorette party invitations that will end up in the garbage? Search for some cheap bachelorette party invitations online or in your local stores. To save even more money you can use plain paper and decorate it with clip art that relates to bachelorette parties. For invitations that cost zero dollars just pick up the phone and invite everyone.

Pick the right bachelorette party theme

The kind of bachelorette party you decide to have will have a direct influence on the cost of the party. If the bride to be has her heart set on a destination bachelorette party then this is an expensive party. If you plan a bachelorette party that is simple and hosted in the home of a friend then you can save a lot of money and still have a good time.

What kinds of party themes are fun yet inexpensive to execute? A pajama party can be a great time for friends to kick back and relax with the bride to be before her big day. If the hostess asks everyone to bring their favorite snack food or beverage she can save a lot of money. Or she can ask all the guests to kick in a certain amount of money towards the food with the intention of keeping the party menu simple. Chips and pretzels, pizza and wings, cut up fruit and veggies, and popcorn are all great party foods that don't cost a lot of money to buy.

Another cheap bachelorette party theme is a game night. It doesn't matter what the game is Monopoly, Life, Clue, poker, Gin Rummy, or even Go Fish it's a great way for friends to get together and have fun. As with the pajama party the hostess can ask everyone to bring something, or chip in a few dollars towards inexpensive snack foods.

Hopefully these suggestions on how to plan a bachelorette party cheaply will help you save money when you are planning a bachelorette party yourself.
