Merry Christmas everyone! Hope you all had a happy holidays. We spent it with both my parents and my in-laws, like we have for the past couple of years, and it was a very fun couple of days. I’m lucky enough to have in-laws who get along with my family, thank god!
Anyways, Christmas passing by got me thinking about an idea for a blog post. Now, this is something I’ve never done before, but bear with me, because I think it’s a good idea. If your friend’s bachelorette party falls near a major holiday, don’t you think it would be fun to have a holiday-themed party? Like I said, I’ve never hosted one of those before because it never occurred to me or the parties never fell near holidays or whatever, but it seems like a great idea! Here are some pros I can think of:
-It would make searching for decorations a lot easier. You could just use normal decorations for that holiday, or you could mix those with bachelorette party decorations.
-You wouldn’t have to worry about matching outfits because you could dress for the holiday. Halloween is the most obvious example here, but other holidays work too - for Christmas you could all go out as sexy Santa’s helpers, for Valentine’s day you could be cupids or Victoria’s Secret angels, for St. Patrick’s Day you could all dress in green, there’s lots of possibilities!
-You could do holiday themed drinks and games, too, if it’s at home. Green beer and Irish carbombs at a St. Patty’s day party or spiked eggnog around Christmas time would sound great! And of course, for New Years you’ve got to have Champagne!
Basically, you’d get the best of both worlds, a holiday party and a bachelorette party all rolled into one. I’m sorry that because of my lack of experience in throwing this particular type of party, I can’t be more help about this topic or give you more specific ideas, but think of it as a springboard for you to use your imagination! I wish I had thought of this back while I was still hosting parties all the time! Maybe if someone asks for one in the next year or so... there’s still hope! Hopefully some of you reading this will get a good idea, at least. Let me know if you do!

I have an older friend getting married soon and another friend who's planning her bachelorette party... your site looks really helpful for planning parties so I'm going to tell her about it! I really like the holiday theme idea, although I don't know when my friend's party is going to be, but it's an idea!
