5 Best Ideas for Bachelorette Party Themes

Calling all maid of honors, if you’re throwing a bachelorette party, we have creative workshops perfect for any theme. Our bachelorette party ideas in NYC include everything from cooking classes to craft workshops. So whether you have a foodie or an adventurer as the bride-to-be there is something everyone will enjoy! 

Often bachelorette parties bring together a variety of friends and family members, many who may not have met before. With varying interests, it might seem intimidating to find activities everyone will enjoy and that will allow the opportunity to socialize and connect. Luckily, with these workshops, you can all participate in an activity the bachelorette will love, with no experience required! 

Get crafty with the bride-to-be

If this bachelorette is DIY-ing her wedding or appreciates a handmade item, she’ll love a craft workshop in NYC. Some of our favorite NYC workshops are pottery classes. These popular classes are perfect for beginners. Choose between hand building or wheel throwing to craft your own vessel from scratch. Your pottery instructor will teach you how to mold and sculpt your clay. You might get a little messy, but you’ll have many laughs along the way. 

If you’re looking for something a little more colorful, a pottery painting class might be the perfect fit. Your party will be able to personalize their own mug, plate, or bowl of their choosing. Everyone’s unique style will shine through their decoration, and you’ll all have a special keepsake to remind you of the special occasion. 

Many of these pottery workshops in NYC even invite you to BYOB! So if you want to pop the champagne or share a bottle of rose with the blushing bride, you can celebrate all through your craft workshop– as long as you don’t mind a little bit of clay on your glass. 

Relax with a self-care bachelorette party

If your bachelorette party in NYC is leaning toward spa day territory over a long night out, you’ll like the sound of this. We offer workshops where you can customize your own bath and body products. From perfume making and candle making to soap making and DIY body butter, there are many classes to choose from. 

The best part of these classes is that everyone in your party will be able to customize their products to their liking. You’ll learn about aromatherapy from your experienced instructor and then you can create a custom essential oil blend that suits your needs– whether you love an energizing citrus scent or a calming lavender aroma. 

This bachelorette activity offers a relaxing environment that will allow you and your party to unwind. Everyone deserves a break, especially the bride who is likely wrapping up wedding planning, so take a self-care day! 

Explore nature in NYC

If your bachelorette is a nature lover– whether she’s a plant mamma or an avid hiker, she’ll love a plants and flowers workshop. Bet you didn’t know you can still find nature in the concrete jungle. Try a terrarium workshop in NYC! In a terrarium class, you and your party will learn how to create your own contained miniature gardens. 

Don’t worry, these gardens are small enough to fit on a desk and contain low-maintenance plants for even the biggest plant killers out there. 

You will learn how to layer soil and rocks. Then maybe even include a little bit of sand art at the base. Next, add your moss, plants, and decor! Your instructor will walk you through the best way to arrange your terrarium so that it lives long and happily. These casual classes offer a positive and casual environment for you and your friends to talk, share ideas, and enjoy a shared activity together. 

Foodie bachelorette party activities

If your bride-to-be is always down to try new food or is constantly on the hunt for the best restaurants in NYC, she’ll love a cooking class. In one of these beginner-friendly classes, you will learn how to cook from a professional chef! We offer classes in a wide range of different cuisines, including Italian, Indian, Japanese and more! 

Try a pasta-making class for an especially exciting dining experience. You’ll learn how to make the perfect pasta dough. Then pick your favorite shape– farfalle, tagliatelli, orecchiette, and more. If you’re up for the challenge, learn how to make filled pasta or even colorful pasta! There is so much to try. Paired with a simple, yet delicious sauce, you have yourself one of the best dinners in NYC! 

These workshops offer an alternative to a fancy dinner. You will be able to collaborate with your fellow guests, which is the perfect way to bond and get to know one another. At the end of class, you can make your way to the dining table, pour a glass of wine, and enjoy the delicious meal you all cooked together! 

Celebrate with a paint and sip class

Whether the bride-to-be loves an art day or a glass of wine, she’ll love this workshop that combines the best of both worlds. Paint and sip classes in NYC make some of the best bachelorette party ideas because they offer a fun, creative, and social atmosphere. Most people who join these workshops haven’t picked up a paintbrush since their elementary school years, and that’s okay!

These workshops are perfect for beginners. You’ll start class by pouring your favorite beverage– maybe champagne for the bride? Then you’ll enjoy a hands-on painting lesson with a friendly instructor. Feel free to go off the book and add your own creative spin. These classes are focused on having a good time rather than replicating the works of Frida Khalo! 

Sound like fun? These bachelorette party activities will create a memorable day for your bride and her crew. We have a themed bachelorette party idea for food lovers to craft queens and everything in between!
