🎄Merry and Bride: The Ultimate Christmas Bachelorette Party Theme for Your Winter Bride
Tinsel, tequila, and a touch of tulle, your bride deserves the most wonderfully wild send-off of the season. If she's the kind of girl who hums Mariah Carey in July and dreams in red and green, then a "Merry and Bride" bachelorette party is the holiday themed bash she didn’t even know she needed!
This festive and fabulous theme combines all the sparkle of the holidays with the glam of a fantastic bachelorette. So whether you're planning a weekend cabin getaway or a one-night Christmas crawl, here’s how to sleigh the planning and throw the most unforgettable holiday bachelorette party of the year!
🎁 Step 1 Set the Scene: Deck the Bach!
Let’s be honest, half the magic is in the décor. Think of it as the North Pole meets Las Vegas- we’re talking the absolute winter wonderland plus the sparkle of wild night out.
Here’s what your Merry and Bride vibe needs:
✨ Red and green balloon garlands
✨ A sign that says “Merry and Bride” or “Sleigh All Day, Bride’s on Her Way”
✨ Fairy lights
✨ Santa hats for the crew + a white veil for the bride
✨ Glittery champagne bottles, ornament drink stirrers, and festive confetti
Pro Tip: Custom cups are a MUST. Our Merry and Bride Bachelorette Party Cups are reusable, adorable, and perfect for spiked cider, peppermint shots, or holiday punch.
🎄 Step 2 Dress Code: Sleigh in Style
Themed outfits = instant photo ops. For this party theme, tell your crew to bring:
👗 Matching PJs
🎅 Bride in white + Santa hats for all
🧣 Ugly sweaters but make it hot
💋 Red lipstick and jingle bell earrings are highly encouraged
Bonus: Order “Merry and Bride” sashes or custom tees for that coordinated, "we-mean-business" look.
🍸 Step 3 Sips & Snacks: ‘Tis the Season to Be Tipsy
No party is complete without festive drinks! And with a holiday theme, the options are endless. Here are some drink ideas that your bach crew are sure to love:
-
“Santa Sangria” Cranberry juice, red wine, orange slices
-
“Mrs. Claus’ Cosmo” Vodka, cranberry, lime, and sparkle
-
Hot cocoa bar With Baileys, peppermint schnapps, or Kahlua
-
Champagne tower Because we’re still fancy, ok?
Pair with holiday cookies, mini charcuterie boards, and gingerbread “grooms.”
📸 Step 4: Photo Ops or It Didn’t Happen
Create a few themed photo spots with props like:
📸 “Naughty or Nice” signs
📸 Mistletoe selfie corner
📸 Reindeer antlers, candy canes, and elf ears for props
📸 A backdrop that says “The Most Wonderful Time… To Get Married”
Encourage guests to tag your event hashtag (like #MerryAndBrideWeekend) and let the Instagram stories roll!
💃 Step 5: Activities That Sleigh
Want to keep the party going all night? Add in some festive fun like:
🎄 Dirty Santa gift exchange. Get as spicy or tame as ya’ll feel comfortable with!
🎤 Holiday karaoke, truly a must “All I Want for Christmas Is... a hangover cure”
🧁 Decorate cookies or make DIY ornament favors
💍 Bridal trivia with holiday flair
And of course, dancing around the living room with wine while “Jingle Bell Rock” plays = a requirement.
🎅 Wrap It All Up: Party Favors They’ll Actually Keep
Send your crew home with sweet little gifts:
-
Mini champagne bottles with holiday tags
-
Fuzzy socks & candy canes
-
Personalized ornaments
Because if there’s anything better than a good time, it’s a keepsake to remember it by.
