The Best Bachelorette Party Favors

Buying Guide for Bachelorette Party Favors

Why buy bachelorette party favors? 

You and your girls have probably had plenty of unforgettable nights out (or in) together, but this one is special, since it’s celebrating your upcoming wedding. Your bachelorette party deserves a little extra flair, and party favors are awesome keepsakes that can add a fun, cheeky twist to your big night or provide your friends with a practical yet nostalgic item they can use afterward. Party favors are wonderful mementos for everyone who attends, and they let your crew know how much you appreciate and love them.

What should you consider when buying bachelorette party favors?

• Cost Per Person: Weddings are already expensive, so you probably don’t want to roll down to the jewelry store, no matter how many Real Housewives may have done it. But luckily, bachelorette gifts don’t have to cost a fortune. Set a budget and stick with it—the most important thing is having something for your squad.
• Party Venue: This probably goes without saying, but you do not want to be lugging anything from bar to bar on your pub crawl, so keep mobility in mind. Additionally, if you’re having a pool party, it’s probably best to cancel the bridesmaid turtlenecks. No matter what you order, make sure it’s something you can enjoy during the bachelorette party.
• Usability: As sustainability becomes a bigger part of our lives, it’s important to think through what your party people will do with their favors after the big night. Consumables, such as temporary tattoos, candies, or games for the night of are great options, but so are accessories like clutches, fanny packs, hats, and customized wine glasses.

How many bachelorette party favors should you buy?

First and foremost, you’ll want to consider the number of guests who will be attending the party; it’s a good rule of thumb to have at least one favor per guest. However, it’s also a good idea to have a few extra favors on hand. This accounts for any unexpected attendees or last-minute additions to the guest list or on the off chance that any of the favors get lost. It’s better to have too many favors than to run out during the bachelorette party. Additionally, having a couple of extra favors allows the host or the bride to keep them as keepsakes or mementos from the bachelorette party. These extras can be cherished as a reminder of the special celebration and the friends who were present.

The assortment of flavors will delight your taste buds, and the vibrant colors will add a playful yet affordable flair to your celebration without making a huge mess. And each Ring Pop comes individually wrapped, so they’re easy to distribute among your guests.

Cons: Since these Ring Pops come in a bulk bag, you don’t have any control over the flavors included, which are totally random. You might receive more mystery flavors or sour Ring Pops, so it’s not always 100% to align the flavors received with everyone’s personal preferences. And there may be potential quality control issues, namely air-filled wrappers or Ring Pops missing altogether.

Bottom Line: The versatility, affordability, and nostalgic appeal are sure to make a bag of Ring Pops a hit with bachelorette party-goers of all ages. So if you’re looking to add some sweetness to your event, don’t miss out on this fun, flavorful, appropriately-themed bachelorette party favor.

 

Pros: Not all bachelorette parties have to involve a night out on the town. If you’re planning a night in (or the morning after an evening at the bar) with the girls and want to pamper yourself, these eye patches are a must-have accessory for your party. These soothing patches are designed to rejuvenate and brighten the delicate skin under your eyes, giving you a revitalized look. Simply place them in the refrigerator for a bit to create a refreshing cooling effect, and when you’re ready to unwind, apply these patches for a luxurious self-care experience. They’re notable for their soothing and squishy texture, providing an indulgent sensation as they work their magic. They are perfect for reducing puffiness, lightening under-eye circles, and providing a much-needed pick-me-up for a quiet night in or after a night of partying. Add these individually wrapped eye patches to your bachelorette party gift bags, and your friends will be thrilled with the pampering they provide. And you get 30 pairs per pack, so one set should be more than enough to cover most bachelorette parties.

Cons: As effective as they are, the price tag for these eye patches may be a bit high for some, especially if you’re buying for a large group. Additionally, a few customers found that the patches may slide off if not positioned properly, requiring them to lie down or adjust their position during use.

Bottom Line: Don’t miss out on this opportunity to enhance your bachelorette party experience and give your eyes the TLC they deserve. Treat yourself and your friends to the luxurious indulgence of these eye refresh patches, which can help reduce discoloration, diminish puffiness, and leave your eyes looking and feeling refreshed.

 

Pros: If you’re in search of a fun bachelorette party favor, look no further than these metallic temporary tattoos. The elegant gold metallic finish looks great on all skin tones, and the tattoos come in a variety of phrases such as “Bride Tribe” and “Sip Sip Hooray” and cute, topical shapes like champagne bottles and diamond rings. You can also buy a more colorful set if you prefer; they still have the metallic gold finish, but some of the tattoos have other colors mixed in as well for a more “traditional” tattoo look. You get 30 tattoos in a set, all for one very reasonable price. And they’re water-resistant for pool parties.

Cons: It’s important to exercise caution when using these temporary tattoos, especially if your bachelorette party isn’t very far away from your wedding. It’s recommended you try them out in advance to see how easily they come off. It’s best to save these tattoos for bachelorette parties that occur at least a week before the wedding to ensure that any residue or marks have time to fade.

Bottom Line: These temporary tattoos add a bit of extra flash to your big night out or pool party. They can stand alone as a fun accessory or be included as part of a bridesmaid gift bag—just be mindful of timing to avoid any potential issues before your big day.

 

Pros: If you’re planning on hitting any bars or clubs as part of your bachelorette party, these vibrant and lively LED light-up rings are the perfect accessory for your night(s) out. These “engagement” rings not only light up but flash and cycle between three different colors. Their bright and vibrant colors will add a playful flair to your bachelorette festivities, making you the center of attention wherever you go. Whether you’re hitting the bars, dancing the night away, or simply celebrating with your closest friends, these LED rings are an excellent party accessory. Use them to decorate your mason jars, create eye-catching cocktails, put them on twine for a rustic and stylish touch, or use a dozen other creative strategies to decorate. And you get a set of 13 rings for a pretty reasonable price, so you won’t break the bank on them, no matter how many guests are attending your party.

Cons: Depending on how long you’re out, the batteries likely won’t last throughout the entire night, and the batteries unfortunately can’t be replaced. A few customers also reported that some of the rings arrived broken or malfunctioned.

Bottom Line: These LED light-up rings are a popular choice for bachelorette parties for good reason, providing a colorful and dynamic element to the celebration, whether you opt to wear them out on the town or use them for a more decorative element.

 

Pros: If you want to provide your crew with a more practical and reusable gift, these metallic fanny packs will be right up your alley. With one “bride” and seven “tribe” bags included, they make for a reusable and practical gift for your crew. The rose gold and white color scheme ensures they will complement any outfit, adding a touch of style to your celebrations. These fanny packs are perfect for keeping your essentials accessible throughout the night, no matter how wild the festivities become. And if you so choose, these fanny packs can serve as excellent wedding day emergency kits. You can fill them with essential items such as tissues, mints, sewing kits, and other necessities, ensuring that both the bride and the bridal party are prepared for any unexpected situations.

Cons: As with any vinyl product, the material does not always hold up well when exposed to the elements. These bags should not be left in wet conditions or exposed to extended sunlight, as this may cause the material to warp, so they may not be the best option if you’re hosting a pool party or staying over at the beach.

Bottom Line: These fanny packs are great for bridal scavenger hunts, bar crawls, and any other bachelorette frolics you may get yourself into. Keep the essentials close and leave the tote bags at home, all while keeping both hands free for drinks, games, and whatever else the night might hold.
