Party guide

A Bachelorette Night In

The night before the big night out, or the whole party if your group would rather stay in: a taco bar, frozen drinks, matching pajamas and the bride's favorite songs on repeat.

Host tip: Ask the bride's closest friend for her favorite songs, snacks and drink a week ahead, and build the night around them.

Drinks and ice

  • Frosé: recipe
  • Spicy cucumber-jalapeño margaritas by the pitcher: recipe
  • An alcohol-free version: frozen strawberry lemonade

Diamond-shaped ice

Diamond-shaped silicone ice molds are the perfect bachelorette detail, and they're cheap. Freeze a raspberry in a few for a pink sparkle.

Make ahead

  1. 1 week before: Order the decorations, sashes and matching pajamas or shirts.
  2. 1 day before: Freeze the frosé base and the diamond ice. Make the taco meat. Chop toppings.
  3. Afternoon of: Make the guacamole (press plastic wrap right on top to keep it green). Make the churro dough.
  4. 1 hour out: Warm the taco meat and queso. Set up the taco bar.
  5. After dinner: Fry the churros fresh while everyone gets ready.
