Bachlorette Party on a Budget

I was so excited this past weekend to help throw a Bachlorette party for one of my college girl friends who's getting married at the end of the month. Here's how I was able to keep my portion of the party on a budget.

Bachlorette Party Favors & Utensils

Cups: two birds, one stone. These worked as a portion of the party favors for the ladies to take with them if they choose to AND they were great for drinks. I picked these up in 3packs from the Dollar Tree. I used a Sharpie to write the hashtag for the evening so that everyone could post pics, #polkslaststand.I was also able to score the pink and purple beads from Dollar Tree as well, these were available in packs of 8. A Bachlorette Party cannot be complete with penis straws so I got a pack of 10 from the local Pandora's Box for $6.99. Our color scheme was black, pink and white and again the Dollar Tree came through in the clutch with a 20 pack of black plates as well as Zebra and Polka Dot drink napkins.

Party Favors & Utensils for 10 Total: $16.99
-15 Cups, $5
-16 Beads, $2
-10 Straws, $6.99
-20 plates, $1
-40 napkins, $2
-Silverware, Free (left overs from our wedding)

Beverages

As any good party planner would do, I browsed Pinterest for ideas and originally I wanted to do this that I found on Pinterest:

Then I realized how much mini bottles are, depending on the brand they're over $1.50 each for any decent ones. I decided to do buy two fifths instead of Svedka that had something pink on them and ended up with Strawberry Colada and Strawberry Lemonade and some cute mini solo shot cups from Hefty.

Shots with the Bachlorette: $13.00

We had a great time and I can't wait to see her walk down the isle in a few weeks!
