Searching for goodies to include in a bachelorette party gift bag? Well, I’ve already done that honey, so let me show you the way! A few months ago, I got the opportunity to help plan a bachelorette party in New Orleans for my gal pal, Liz. (HI LIZ!) I love a good New Orleans-themed bridal event, plus I pride myself on being the Clark Griswold of vacation planning – the European Vacation must-see-everything Clark, not the break into Wally World Clark. 😉 New Orleans is also one of my favorite cities, so I was incredibly jazzed to help create an epic itinerary and of course… the best bachelorette party gift bag.

To ensure these bachelorette good times live on forever—and to help anyone else planning a bachelorette party—I thought I’d write a post about what to include in a bachelorette party gift bag. If you want to see photos from all our New Orleans shenanigans, please make your way over to my Instagram posts here, here, and here. Okay, on to the goodies! Psst… I included links to shop everything below – they are affiliate links, so if you shop, I’ll make a little dough. (Thanks in advance, friends!)

1. Liquid I.V.

Out of all the goodies in a bachelorette party gift bag, this is the most important! After walking around town during the day and drinking around town at night, your body is going to love you for gifting it Liquid I.V., the ultimate hydrating and vitamin-packed treat. There are a few other hydration brands out there, but Liquid I.V. is my #1 because it comes in a ton of delicious flavors and always makes me feel better after a long run… or long night out dancing. 😉 I also truly love this mission-based company for everything they do for the world. My go-to flavor is Strawberry and Scotty loves Passionfruit!

2. Chomps

If someone stole my purse, they might not find a ton of change, but they would be sufficiently hydrated and full of protein because I always keep a packet of Strawberry-flavored Liquid I.V. and a Jalapeno Chomp in my bag. These delicious Keto-friendly and Whole30-approved jerky sticks are a lifesaver when a case of hanger strikes. These two are also the first two items on my vacation packing list.

3. A Fancy Itinerary the Bride Can Frame as a Keepsake or Recycle 🙂

I can’t believe how cute these turned out! Though I am obsessed with design and visuals, I’m unfortunately not gifted in the art department. Thankfully there are sites like Zazzle that allow artists to earn money for their skills. (Side note: If you are an artist, this is such a cool way to make $ on the side. Sure, it might take some time to create one design, but after that, the user customizes them, so you don’t have to do a thing!) Yep, all I had to do was enter our itinerary details and chose a few icons to create the cutest bachelorette party itinerary card ever. This one was created by Lise Wong of IYHTVDesigns, and there are a ton of other destination options. They ship quickly too!

4. Cute Matching Sunglasses

While researching what to put in a bachelorette party gift bag, I came across this adorable brand called xo, Fetti. They have the cutest birthday and bachelorette bash accessories – veils, sashes, balloon banners, temporary tattoos, koozies, earrings, hats, and all the colorful, glittery, and shimmery penis-shaped goodies your little heart can handle. I ordered this Cat Eyes Sunglass Set that came with seven pink sunnies and one white version for the bride. They shipped in a really cute case too!

5. Bachelorette Party Nail Stickers

These adorable nail stickers are such a fun way to add some sass to your look before heading out to Bourbon or Frenchmen. They’re very easy to apply and last for days!

6. Bride to Be Sash

I slipped this cutie into the bride’s gift bag. It’s simple, pretty, and inexpensive! Pro tip: Don’t buy a glittery sash unless you want to be wearing glitter for the rest. of. your. life. (Though if you are pro-glitter, girl, do your thing.)

7. Gold Foil Face Masks

Face masks are such a fun treat to gift your fellow bachelorettes and bride. You can either set aside some spa time before getting ready for a night out (hellooo, great Instagram opp!) or save them for a well-earned self-care evening when you get back home. I love these golden beauts from FACESTORY because they are cruelty-free and include luxurious antioxidant-rich ingredients like Vitamin C and lemon extract to help your skin glow. The gold foil also just makes them fun to wear around the house/surprise your husband when he rounds the corner. BOO! #gotem

8. Grace & Stella Under Eye Masks

This is another clean and cruelty-free beauty brand I love! Tired, puffy eyes stand no chance against these golden anti-wrinkle and energizing eye masks. I put them on one night for about 15-20 minutes before applying my makeup, and not to get all infomercial on you, but I could seriously tell a difference! I now use them at home on the reg. Side note: grace & stella also make my favorite eye cream.

9. Scrunchies

Because you can’t toss your hair up on a hot NOLA day with just any hair tie – it must be cute, colorful, and preferably pink. I bought this set which includes a range of velvet pink hues. The quality was a lot better than I expected for the inexpensive price! These are also now some of my favorite go-to’s in my beauty drawer at home.

10. Faux Engagement Rings

Are you even at a bachelorette party if you’re not wearing an obnoxious flashing faux engagement ring?

11. Cute Bandages

Bachelorette parties usually involve a lot of walking (and hopefully dancing!) so it’s a good idea to have a bandage or two handy to help ease the pain of any blisters that appear from breaking in new sneakers or cute white cowboy boots. Bonus if they are colorful and patterned like these.

12. Lip Smackers

These colorful lip balms were a cute and nostalgic item I added to the gift bags. I of course chose my favorite—watermelon—but there were still plenty of amazing flavors to gift!

13. Temporary Tattoos of the Groom or Other Bride

These temporary tattoos provided so many hilarious moments during the trip. One of the gals even got creative and placed it on the inside of her elbow so she could make the groom talk. Maybe you had to be there, but it was incredibly funny. Laura, you’re my hero. Also, shout-out to Monique for this great idea!

14. Alka-Seltzer Packets

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – never, never follow a Hurricane with a Hand Grenade. IYKYK.

15. Bachelorette Party Gift Bag

Of course, you’ll need a bachelorette party gift bag to hold all your goodies. I found this cute set on Amazon that includes 20 for under $14. Not bad!
