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?

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 digital itinerary, which allows you to send stylish e-invitations with all the necessary party details.
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 gold color schemes, skull motifs, and plenty of edgy details. Hang up banners with phrases like Bride or Die or Til Death Do Us Party.

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
To thank your guests for being part of the Bride or Die celebration, provide them with party favors that they can take home as mementos. Consider putting together custom hangover kits filled with mini bottles of water, pain relievers, and eye masks. Personalize wine bottle labels with the bride’s name and the date of the party. Get creative and think of favors that will remind your guests of this unforgettable night.
