SPOILER ALERT: If you’ve come looking for “Last Fling Before the Ring” or “It’s My Final Fiesta” ideas, then you’ve come to the wrong place. Seriously, that was so last decade ago.
We here at Modern MOH are all about keeping up with the times and that means saying goodbye to those overused and outdated bachelorette party themes. Trust us when we say that new trends are quickly emerging and in order to be the GMOHOAT (greatest maid of honor of all time), you gotta stay ahead of the game.
Lucky for you, we’ve done our research and are here to give you all the insider tips to plan the bachelorette party of the year. From refreshingly retro to fascinatingly futuristic, we’ve got five fresh bachelorette party themes for every type of girl gang.
1. Girls Gone Green: An Eco-Friendly Bachelorette Party Theme
News flash: getting wasted doesn’t mean you have to make waste. With more and more people choosing to lead a sustainable lifestyle, eco-friendly bachelorette party themes are perfect for this year and those to come.
No matter where you’re at on the sustainability spectrum, we highly encourage you to incorporate a few of these ideas into your upcoming bash.
Must-Haves for an Eco-Friendly Bachelorette
Reusable Drinkware
Instead of stocking up on plastic, one-use bachelorette party favors, purchase a set of stainless steel tumblers, straws included, for you and your girls to reuse all weekend long.

Zero Waste Favors
Skip the cheap accessories that you’ll never wear again, or the koozies you’ll just throw into your junk drawer, and opt for something environmentally-friendly like these DIY gemstone soap favors.

Thrift Shop Threads
Save money and material by bypassing the traditional ‘bride squad’ shirts for some mix n’ match finds from your local thrift shop. Better yet, see if you can’t find a variety of old wedding dresses to wear out on the town.

Send Evites
If you’re planning to send out invitations or itineraries to your group, go paperless by sending them electronically.

Travel Together
Depending on where you’re traveling to, make plans to carpool with as many other group members as possible (this goes for rideshares too!)

Research Restaurants
Skip the chain restaurants and eat at local farm-to-table establishments instead.Also, be sure to check out any local farmers markets!
2. She’s All That (And a Bag of Chips): A ‘90s-Themed Bachelorette Party
It may be 2022, but word on the street is that the 1990s are giving this decade a serious (re)run for its money. Research shows that retro is totally in and we are totally obsessed.
Having lived through this epic end of the century, we are hyped to dish out all the dope details you need for a hip-hoppin’ ‘90s-themed bachelorette party.
Must-Haves for a ’90s-Themed Bachelorette
Hair Scrunchies
No ‘90s-themed bachelorette is complete without this ultimate hair accessory. Grab a velvet scrunchie for each of your girls and rock those side ponies all night long.
BUY ON ETSY
Fanny Packs
These were possibly the greatest invention of the ‘90s and we are so glad this trend is making a comeback. Strap on these neon bachelorette fanny packs and get ready to party the night away (without worrying about losing your purse!)
BUY ON ETSY
Tie-Dye Shirts
We can’t forget the final, and perhaps most impressive, fashion trend of the ‘90s. For those looking to be totally unique, we suggest these ‘Dazed and Confused’ style shirts.

Create a ‘90s Playlist
From pop to rock to hip hop, the ‘90s music scene is forever unrivaled. That’s why it’s an absolute must to put together a killer playlist to jam out to. We’re talking *NSYNC, Backstreet Boys, Mariah Carey, Spice Girls, Céline Dion… anything that you can sing your heart out or shake your booty to!
Play M.A.S.H.
Break out your composition books and gel pens (or just download this adorable printable) and get ready to play the ultimate slumber party game of the ‘90s. Take turns predicting everyone’s future and get a good laugh at how accurate (or inaccurate) the bride-to-be’s fortune is.

DIY Ring Jello Shots
Ring Pops, but make it alcoholic. Whip up a batch of these Diamond Ring Jello Shots and rock them like you did back in the ‘90s. Pro tip: Keep them on while you’re out and about to double as a shot glass.
3. Treat Yo Self: A Wellness-Themed Bachelorette Party
What better way to celebrate the bride-to-be in 2022 (aka the year of self-care) than with a weekend dedicated to her mental, physical, and emotional wellness. This mindful approach is perfect for those looking to avoid a three-day bender that will leave them feeling broke, bloated, and blah.
Let us be very clear: alcohol consumption is totally acceptable as long as the word moderation is kept into consideration.

Healthy Eats and Drinks
Skip the chips and dip and stock up on fresh fruits and veggies instead. Save money and calories by planning a healthy home-cooked meal (or two). If drinking alcohol, swap out soda and juice mixers for seltzer or water and opt for light beers over heavy IPAs. Hungover? Hit up a local juice bar to detox instead of ordering McDonald’s off of UberEats.
Mood-Booster Playlist
Pair your healthy diet with some feel-good music and you have the perfect self-care combination. Blast some sing-along songs with your girls while getting ready or unwind after a long day with some soulful tunes- whatever works best for you!

A Bedtime
Yes, we are totally serious with this one. Having a set bedtime is necessary to ensure that you and your girls are well-rested for the following day’s activities. As much as we love staying up giggling into the wee hours, we love a solid 8 hours of sleep more (and so should you). Trust us, your body will thank you for it in the morning.

Limit Social Media Use
If you’re anything like us, this must-do may come as a serious challenge. However, the key to enjoying your weekend of wellness is to push the FOMO aside and just live in the moment! (crazy concept, right?) So instead of posting each and every photo, video, or boomerang as it’s happening, simply save them to be posted once the weekend is over.
Book a Spa Treatment
Whether it’s a mani, pedi, massage, or facial (or the whole package if you’re feeling frisky), a spa treatment is a total must for this treat yo self theme. Not only is this an opportunity for your group to bond in a relaxing environment, but it’s also the perfect way to help the bride-to-be destress before her big day.

Take an Exercise/Yoga Class
Depending on what type of exercise your future Mrs. prefers, sign your group up for the guided class of her choice. We consider this a win-win because you’ll be sweating out the fun from last night while getting your blood pumping for the exciting day ahead! As an added bonus, hold a morning meditation to guarantee that everyone starts the day off with a clear head.
4. Weekend in the Woods: A Nature-Themed Bachelorette Party
Move over ‘Last Sail Before the Veil’ because ‘Camp Bachelorette’ is taking over. That’s right, we’re leaving the been there, done that destinations in the past and looking forward to the future of bachelorette party locations: Glampgrounds (or campgrounds for my true outdoors-lovin’ ladies).
