How to plan a Killer Bride or Die Bachelorette Party
If you and your bach squad are looking for something edgy, fun, and totally unforgettable, then a Bride or Die themed bachelorette party might just be the perfect choice!
In this blog post, we’ll guide you through all the steps to plan a killer Bride or Die bachelorette party that will leave the bride-to-be and her crew with memories to last a lifetime.
What is the Bride or Die Bachelorette theme?
The Bride or Die theme’s signature color is black and all things gothic are celebrated in the forms of skulls and roses. If your bride to be is a rock / metal fan, then aspects of this can be included into the theme, with slogans such as Farewell Tour and Bride’s Last Tour.

Setting the budget and date
The first step in planning any bachelorette party is to set a budget and choose a date. This will help you determine what activities and venues are within your price range and ensure that everyone can make it on the chosen date.
First things first, planning a Bachelorette party can take a lot of organization, but relax – we’ve got you! As our gift to you, you can download this FREE Bachelorette Party Planner. With over 20 pages, a suggested checklist and pdf compatibility with Goodnotes and Notability, this is the ideal bachelorette party planner no matter what your theme. Grab your copy below.
Choosing the location
Once you have determined your budget and date, it’s time to choose the perfect location for your Bride or Die bachelorette party. This isn’t a theme that is strongly linked to a specific location, so consider the bride’s interests. For example, if her favorite band is in town you could head to the show, or maybe you’re headed to a specific location to check out the local rock club scene.
The key is to choose a location that allows you to create an atmosphere of fun and excitement while encompassing the Bride or Die theme.
Invitation Ideas
Now that you have the basics sorted out, it’s time to send out those invitations! Get creative with your invites by incorporating elements of the Bride or Die theme. You could design digital invitations with bold typography and images of skulls or roses.
Alternatively, consider sending physical invitations in the form of mini black coffins or personalized handcuffs.
For a hassle-free option, check out our instant download digital invitations which are editable in Canva for free. Including a printable 5×7″ invitation template and a mobile phone itinerary, you have the choice whether to send physical or digital invitations, or even both!
Bride or Die Themed Decor
To create a truly immersive Bride or Die experience, you’ll want to pay attention to the decor. Think black and silver color schemes, skull motifs, and plenty of edgy details. Hang up banners with phrases like Bride or Die or Til Death Do Us Party.

Bride or Die Bachelorette Activities and Games
Keep the energy high by planning a variety of activities and games that align with the Bride or Die theme.
Rock / Metal Club
To fit in with the theme, head to a rock club or local music venue. Or you could even head to a theme night playing 80’s metal from the sunset strip era. Check your local area or the location of your bachelorette party to find local events.
Music Quiz
Test your knowledge of rock with a music quiz! This could be tailored with questions about the bride’s favorite rock bands. Include picture quizzes, general music trivia and even some fun round such as “Rock song title or Horror Movie”.

For a fun twist, consider hiring a food truck that specializes in gourmet burgers or tacos. Don’t forget to accommodate any dietary restrictions and have non-alcoholic options available for those who prefer not to drink.
Bride or Die Party Favors
