When planning your friend's bachelorette party, there are many things to be aware of when purchasing bachelorette party gifts! Below we have consulted, interviewed and researched the most important bachelorette party gift and supply issues to make your life easier:

I. Where to purchase bachelorette party gifts and bachelorette party supplies

Bachelorette party gifts are definitely a great way to accent any bachelorette party. It is first important to know where you are having the party to decide what type of gifts and supplies to get. You also want to determine what type of gifts the bachelorette would want for her party. Whether conservative or racy, there are tons of places to get the items. You can:

a) Order the bachelorette gifts and supplies Online:

There are many online stores today that offer great gift ideas from the privacy of your home. Our pick is www.bachelorettepartyfun.com and www.bachelorpartyfun.com as well as www.bridesmaid101.com for conservative gifts. Besides these sites, there are many more to choose from. The convenience of ordering online is not leaving your house, taking your time to choose what items and saving on sales tax (if it is shipped from a different state).

b) Order the bachelorette gifts and supplies from a store:

There are a few stores you can go to that have bachelorette items. For more racy items, you can visit any adult store as well as novelty stores such as Aaahhs, Speners, and even a local party supply store although there selection may be limited and they usually don't have novelty items.

c) Create your own gifts and supplies:

Check out our bachelorette party supplies page for information on how to create your own bachelorette "suck for a buck" t-shirt as well as tips on creating condom veils and other great items! If you have time and want to save a lot of money, we may be able to help!

d) Order Bridal Shower Invitations or Wedding Invitations as the Bachelorette Party Gift:

A great bachelorette party gift is to order the bridal shower invitations which will be greatly appreciated by the bride-to-be. First check in with her and maybe even shop with her on what type she wants as brides are usually selective with their weddings, even with their invitations. You can also order the bachelorette party invitations. Another great idea is to help fill out the invites and thank you's since there are so many tasks for the bride-to-be to accomplish before her big day.

II. If Purchasing Online, how to find the best company to purchase from

Bachelorette party gifts and supplies can be found by typing in the keywords "bachelorette party" on any top search engine such as www.google.com. The sites that come up first under this category are the most popular sites on the Internet, meaning that many sites link to them. This is a great way to find a trusted site for anything you order. Be wary of sites that are listed under the "sponsor" listings since they pay to be at the top (although they still may be okay). The other things you should look out for:

a) Can you find a phone number of the company on the website?

It is important to go to the website's "contact us" page or homepage and make sure they give out their information.

b) Do they have a shipping page?

It is important for bachelorette party gift and supply companies to spell out their rules for ordering as well as providing information so you know how their shipping works. A site that does not talk about their shipping may give you a late package or not have a good RMA (return) policy!

c) Do they have a nice looking website that has most graphics working?

A site that is unattractive may have people that do not know how to program and have faulty shopping carts and faulty return policies!

d) Do they have a lot of items?

There are only a few sites that offer a wide selection of gifts. It is important to see if they have most things in stock and you may even want to call them to see if they will be sending everything out you want in a timely manner.

e) Do they have testimonials?

It may be helpful to look through their site to see what others have stated about their services. Most of the companies that list testimonials are legit as far as we have seen!

III. When Buying Online

If you are purchasing bachelorette gifts or bachelorette supplies online, it is important to take a few factors into consideration so you have the product on time and everything you ordered:

1) Make sure to order at least 2 weeks before the party.

It is difficult for many bachelorette's to order since it seems there is not enough time in a day or you forget until the end. 2 weeks will give any bachelorette package to get to the right destination no matter where you live in the United States and no matter who purchase from. You can also order the product UPS ground which will save you money! If you do order less then 2 weeks prior to the bachelorette party, make sure to select the right UPS shipping (i.e., 3-day, 2-day, 1-day) depending on where the online bachelorette party store is located. For instance, www.bachelorettepartyfun.com is located in Los Angeles and we are in Nevada which would take around 3 days for a UPS ground shipment to get there. If we were located on the East Coast, it could take as long as 7 business days for a package to get there from Los Angeles.

2) Make sure to go with a company that does not place extra shipping charges on you.

You may find a certain websites prices are better than another but their shipping is $1 to $2 more for each thing you order! Again, we recommend www.bachelorettepartyfun.com and www.bachelorpartyfun.com since they seem to have the best prices in our research.

3) UPS and Fed-Ex do not count the day the package ships out as a day.

For instance, if you order from a company on a Monday and you select 3-day shipping, expect that the package will arrive on Thursday and not Wednesday since Monday does not count as a ship day.

4) Take holidays into consideration since UPS and Fed Ex close during major holidays.

During the Christmas time, orders usually take longer if they are UPS Ground since many people are sending packages out. It is wise to select a 3-day, 2-day or 1-day shipping selection.

5) Read the website shipping policy of a website.

If a company does not have shipping information, an RMA (return) policy or inconsistent information, do not purchase from them. It is also important to know that most companies will not let you return food items or clothes if you order them.

IV. Who should pay for the bachelorette gifts and bachelorette supplies?

It is a tradition for bridesmaids and maid of honor to throw their friend a bachelorette party. It is customary for all the bridesmaids to help out and chip in to have the party, all paying for the bride-to-be. For the bachelorette party planner, this is usually the grueling task of making sure to round up the key bachelorettes to decide how the party should be and what to bring as for bachelorette gifts and bachelorette supplies. It is important for the bachelorette party planner, usually being the maid of honor, to not get stuck with the whole bill! It would be important to speak with the girls to all chip in (or those who can afford it). Try to get the money up front before purchasing the product since many times at the party or after, it is hard to get reimbursed by the girls! One way we have heard works is to call girls a few weeks before the party to state you are ordering product and if they do not pay in a certain amount of time that they will not receive some of the bachelorette supplies you are purchasing for everyone else. It may sound a little harsh but we see it all too often that the party planner pays much more than everyone else!

V. Seasonal Bachelorette Supplies and Bachelorette Gifts:

When purchasing bachelorette party supplies and bachelorette gifts, it is important to take the Summer months into consideration. Heat has a way of melting all food and sensitive items. Don't order chocolate, soft food items, and soft plastic items. You can always call the company you purchase from and ask them their advice. During the winter months, don't order clothing items that may freeze the bride-to-be such as small tank tops, shorts, etc. Check out the Bachelorette Gifts, Bachelorette Supplies and Bachelorette Games pages for further information.

VI. How Much Should I Purchase?

Bachelorette parties vary in size and type. There is no right amount of bachelorette party items to get, it should all depend on the type of party you want to throw. Most bachelorette's purchase at least one item that all the girls can have such as straws, hats, boas or Mardi Gras beads. The rest of the items are to make up the bride-to-be with rings, boas, shirts, pins, veils, and many other items. As for a bachelorette gift, some girls like purchasing an intimate item such as lingerie, vibrators, lotions, or couples gifts but it is not necessary. Decide with the girls and bride what type of party you want to have and then buy accordingly!
