When you think of bachelorette parties, you think of t-shirts, shots, crowns and matching tank tops. But t-shirts are so 2012 and done while the rest are just way too boring for 2016. Here are a few ways you can rock an amazing bachelorette without doing the cliched stuff - WMG will help you stay stylish AF and rock that party all the way to Rio!
Capes Instead of Tees
OMG. How much fun are these!?! It’s really not a party until someone puts on a temporary tattoo! You can get these custom made to reflect your name or anything naughty. Since these are temporary, no one has to worry about marking herself for life! Those sashes from 1980s have to go!
Custom Jewellery Instead Of Any Jewellery
This one is our absolute favourite! Pipabella does a wonderful job of getting you customized jewellery for your girls. You can get matching bracelets or even personalised ones with your wedding hashtag or your girls’ names.
Personalised Tumblers Instead Of Funky Shot Glasses
This seems more functional out of the lot, but when you can camouflage a drink or two in that ‘functional’ tumbler – it’s the naughtiest one in the list! Plus, with all this juicing mania, you're friends will love them. You can get one of the personalised tumblers for your girls, which not only make for pretty pictures when lined up but can also make for a perfect gift later!
Glamping Instead of Partying
There is nothing more nostalgic than a slumber party. But an old-fashioned night filled with some man-candy movies, junk food and adult-only drinking games doesn't sound like a good time anymore. Instead, book a hotel room near you in a plush hotel for the weekend and party there, go to the spa, have brunch and binge watch New Girl.
Theme Parties Instead Of "Just Party"
Everyone loves a hamper but customised bridesmaid boxes are the shizz now. Put together a fun and quirky one for your girls who throw you a bachelorette. They are the ones who have taken the efforts of planning one for you, so they deserve all the love you can give! Give them eye masks and cosmetics and personalised notes to up the ante!
Memory Frames Instead Of Mandatory Drinking Pictures with Your Girls
Make a memory frame with all the fun moments, maybe all of you kissing a paper or hand prints or even tickets to a show that you can keep at your bedside instead of just plain drunk-as-hell photos. Also ask your friends to give you good luck notes and keep them in a jar next to your bedside!
Even better, Document The Whole Trip With a Professional Shoot Instead Of iPhone Pictures

They are gorgeous, fun and totally photogenic! You can pair them with a dress, shorts or even a pair of jeans. And the best part about capes? You can re-use them! Flower Crowns Instead of Party Hats

Those tacky princess crowns made with paper sourced from a local party shop won't do ladies. Not anymore. So go funky - get mermaid crowns which are totally a rage or just simple flower crowns to make it look dainty and classy! Funky Robes Instead of Bath Robes

Think silk robes with floral print or even monogrammed robes. The new style is going with Indian prints and zardosi work. These can be used as cover-ups for dresses for bachelorette and also double up as robes on your wedding day. You can get ready with your girlfriends together on the morning before the wedding! The wedding I went to partied in them and jumped into the pool with their swimsuits underneath! Totes Instead of Party Bags
Super cute, functional and can be customized the way you want! You can print fun stuff like this bride did – or even add your wedding hashtag and make it like your personalised wedding merchandise. The personalised eco-friendly totes are just so so cute from Etsy.
Customised Makeup Pouches Instead of Boring Clutches

Makeup and girlfriends go hand in hand! Customised makeup pouches can make for super awesome gifts for a bachelorette party. Pipa and Bella recently put together a bunch of personalised makeup bags by Namrata Soni and they are delish. Otherwise Etsy has some great ones too. Personalised Tattoos Instead of Sashes
OMG. How much fun are these!?! It’s really not a party until someone puts on a temporary tattoo! You can get these custom made to reflect your name or anything naughty. Since these are temporary, no one has to worry about marking herself for life! Those sashes from 1980s have to go!

Now we saw how amazing glamping can be for a wedding or vow-renewals – it can be amazing for your girlfriends too! Get the girls together for a luxe weekend escape. Throw in some fun bachelorette party games, a day trip to a nearby spa or small town, and, of course, some cocktails! Non-cliched Travel Spots Instead of Goa / Bangkok / Vegas

There will always be Goa or Bangkok, but with up-and-coming hot spots like Andaman (yes, you read that right), Jaipur or even Croatia, now is the time to try something new. Plan a mini vacation with your girls in tow and you’ll create memories for a lifetime! A Staycation Instead of a Slumber Party
There is nothing more nostalgic than a slumber party. But an old-fashioned night filled with some man-candy movies, junk food and adult-only drinking games doesn't sound like a good time anymore. Instead, book a hotel room near you in a plush hotel for the weekend and party there, go to the spa, have brunch and binge watch New Girl.
Theme Parties Instead Of "Just Party"

Give a girl a theme and she’ll create a world out of it! You can select from variety of themes right from nautical to great Gatsby. You can also plan the bachelorette keeping in mind the theme of the wedding itself. Check out some new themes here and keep it tight! Bridesmaid Boxes Instead of Done-To-Death Hampers
Everyone loves a hamper but customised bridesmaid boxes are the shizz now. Put together a fun and quirky one for your girls who throw you a bachelorette. They are the ones who have taken the efforts of planning one for you, so they deserve all the love you can give! Give them eye masks and cosmetics and personalised notes to up the ante!

Get your girls ready and ask a photographer to get you a personalised shoot with them. Those are memories you'd want to store for a long time to come. No, amount of Insta + Snapchat can do justice to these!
