How To Plan a That’s Amore Themed Italian Bachelorette Party

Love is truly in the air with a That’s Amore bachelorette party — a celebration inspired by romance, good food, and everything Italian. From Aperol spritzes to pasta-making parties, this theme brings the charm of Italy straight to your bride’s big weekend.

Whether you’re dreaming of the Amalfi Coast, Tuscany, or a cozy pizza-and-prosecco night, this guide covers everything you need to plan a romantic and indulgent Italian-style bachelorette or hen party.

What is The That’s Amore Bachelorette Theme?

A That’s Amore bachelorette party celebrates la dolce vita — “the sweet life.” It’s all about love, laughter, and Italian flair. Think warm sunsets, golden hues, and tables overflowing with charcuterie, prosecco, and flowers.

This theme blends timeless romance with a touch of Mediterranean glam. From pasta and pizza dinners to coastal-chic outfits and serenades under fairy lights, it’s perfect for brides who adore good food, great company, and that effortless Italian elegance.

Slogans and Taglines

A memorable theme deserves matching phrases to use on invitations, decor, and favors. Here are a few “That’s Amore” slogans and taglines to capture the vibe:

• He stole a pizza her heart
  
• Ciao Bella!
  
• Pasta La vista, single life!
  
• When the Moon Hits Your Eye… It’s Bachelorette Time!
  
  These fun phrases can decorate signs, shirts, cocktail menus, or party favors for a cohesive (and Instagram-worthy) look.

Setting the Budget and Date

Before diving into prosecco and pasta plans, set a budget that works for everyone. Decide early whether you’ll be hosting at home, booking a restaurant, or renting a villa-style Airbnb. Factor in food, decor, attire, and experiences such as a cooking class or wine tasting.

Autumn and summer weekends are ideal, offering warm weather and fresh produce for Italian menus.

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

Location sets the tone for your That’s Amore celebration. If you’re staying local, consider transforming your backyard, rooftop, or dining room into a mini Italian piazza with string lights, red-and-white tablecloths, and Mediterranean decor.

For destination parties, cities like Napa Valley, Charleston, or Amalfi-inspired coastal towns make beautiful backdrops. You can also rent a countryside villa or a stylish Airbnb with a garden terrace for that true Italian dinner-party vibe.

Whether it’s indoors or al fresco, think rustic charm, candlelight, and good wine flowing freely.

Invitation Ideas

Your invitations should set a romantic, whimsical tone. Choose designs inspired by vintage Italian postcards, lemons from the Amalfi Coast, or classic red-and-white trattoria prints.

Include the dress code, menu highlights, and any fun group plans like wine tasting or a pasta-making workshop. If you’re planning a weekend trip, attach a digital itinerary to keep guests informed and excited.

Our themed That’s Amore Bachelorette party invitations are instant download Canva templates that you can edit completely for free. The template comes with 2 sizes – 5×7” for printing and a mobile size for sharing with your guests instantly. 

Each size also comes with a one page digital itinerary so you can give your guests an at a glance overview of the whole weekend.

Themed Party Decor

Transform your party space into a romantic Italian escape. Start with a That’s Amore themed banner or balloon arch, and use string lights or fairy lights to create an ambient glow reminiscent of an Italian courtyard.

For tables, opt for checkered tablecloths, gold cutlery, and vases filled with roses or greenery. Add rustic signage that says That’s Amore or Ciao Bella! and a charcuterie or antipasto station overflowing with bread, cheese, and grapes.

Set up a “Prosecco & Spritz Bar” with Aperol, limoncello, and fruit garnishes, or create a romantic photo backdrop featuring arches, lemon trees, or a Vespa prop for those perfect Instagram moments.

Cocktail ideas include:

• Aperol Amore – Aperol spritz with edible flowers
  
• La Dolce Vita Martini – Vodka, limoncello, and lemon zest

Attire

For a That’s Amore bachelorette, fashion is everything. Encourage guests to dress in Italian coastal chic — think flowy dresses, floral prints, and gold accessories. Strappy sandals, statement earrings, and red lipstick complete the look.

The bride can stand out in a white satin midi dress, off-the-shoulder jumpsuit, or lace mini dress with elegant heels. A chic sun hat or silk hair scarf adds a touch of la dolce vita glamour.

If you want to coordinate, consider matching embroidered napkins or flirty aprons for a cooking or pizza-making session that’s both stylish and fun.

Activities and Games

Activities for a That’s Amore bachelorette should mix indulgence with a touch of whimsy. A wine or limoncello tasting is a must — set up flights with tasting cards and Italian snacks. For a hands-on experience, host a pasta or pizza-making class where everyone learns to roll, top, and bake together.

Other ideas include:

• A romantic movie marathon featuring Under the Tuscan Sun or Letters to Juliet
  
• A photo scavenger hunt in your local area with Italian-inspired challenges
  
• “Name That Italian Love Song” game
