There are few things more painful—at least sartorially speaking—than being forced to wear a tank top printed with the words “Team Bride” on the front. The suffering is further heightened by the fact that you must wear this shirt because it matches those worn by all 10 of the girls in a bachelorette party. Alas, there is a solution to combating the dreadful short shorts and T-shirts plastered with slogans like “Something borrowed, something blue, we party harder than you!”
While the cheesy route is good for a cheap laugh, there are plenty of bachelorette party gifts that won’t totally embarrass the bride or the bridesmaids. Matching outfits can be done in a low-key and cool way with a stylish one-piece bathing suit stamped with a simple moniker like “Bachelorette.” And choice bachelorette loot is by no means limited to clothing. There are also bags from EverybodyWorld, Polaroid cameras, and Bowie-inspired eye masks to spice up the party.
To each their own when it comes to bachelorette aesthetics. But if you’re the one organizing the gifts, you might as well give the girls what they really want. Above are 16 party favors that are far from basic, and maybe, just maybe, your bridesmaids will keep using them long after the male stripper departs.
