A Flower Power theme for a bachelorette party is a fun and colorful way to celebrate! This theme channels the vibrant energy of the 1960s, focusing on peace, love, and nature. Here’s how to bring it to life:
1. Invitations
- Tie-Dye or Floral Invites: Create bright, tie-dye or floral-themed invitations. You can add fun phrases like “Peace, Love, and [Bride’s Name]” or “Let’s get groovy at [Bride’s Name]’s Bachelorette!”
- Include Flower Crowns: As part of the invitation, send guests mini DIY kits to make their own flower crowns to wear to the party.
2. Venue and Decor
- Bohemian Setup: Think low seating with floor pillows, rugs, and woven blankets. You could even host it outdoors to connect with nature.
- Floral Decorations: Cover the venue with flowers—real, paper, or artificial. Create garlands, hanging floral arrangements, and flower walls.
- Tie-Dye Everything: Incorporate tie-dye prints in tablecloths, napkins, or even wall hangings. A tie-dye banner saying “Peace, Love & Bachelorette Party” would be perfect.
- Peace Signs and Symbols: Use peace symbols, smiley faces, VW bus props, and colorful posters to bring in the 60s vibe.
3. Dress Code
- Hippie-Chic: Ask guests to come dressed in bohemian, flower-child attire. Think flowy dresses, bell-bottoms, fringed vests, and lots of peace sign accessories.
- Flower Crowns and Headbands: Provide flower crowns or boho headbands as party favors or have a DIY flower crown-making station for guests to craft their own.
4. Activities
- Tie-Dye Station: Set up a tie-dye station where guests can make their own custom shirts, socks, or scarves to take home as party favors.
- DIY Flower Crowns: Guests can craft their own flower crowns using a variety of real or artificial flowers.
- Henna Tattoos: Hire a henna artist to give guests flower-inspired designs on their hands, arms, or feet.
- Groovy Photos: Set up a 1960s-style photo booth with props like oversized sunglasses, peace signs, feather boas, and a VW bus backdrop for fun pictures.
5. Music
- 60s Playlist: Create a playlist featuring classics from the 60s like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, and The Mamas & The Papas. Songs like “California Dreamin’” and “Here Comes the Sun” will set the mood.
- Live Music or DJ: If the party is outdoors, consider hiring a guitarist or DJ to play a mix of 60s hits and modern tunes.
6. Food and Drinks
- Colorful Finger Foods: Serve up bright, rainbow-colored appetizers like veggie trays, fruit kabobs, and tie-dye cupcakes.
- Flower-Powered Desserts: Bake flower-shaped cookies or a cake decorated with edible flowers.
