Time to party! If you’re planning a bachelorette party or girls weekend, you might be thinking about party favors. These are a good idea to add extra fun to a party, to thank guests for joining, and to commemorate the event.
If you’re throwing a bachelorette party or girls weekend in Austin, the following options, many of them made by Austin artists and from Austin companies, are great to tie into the party. Austin has an abundance of cute goodies that would be perfect for a swag bag.
Austin Party Themes
A party theme is a way to coordinate outfits, activities, and get everyone excited about the weekend. For a party in Austin, you might be eating Tex-Mex, doing some two-stepping, finding the mechanical bulls on Sixth Street, and spending the day on the lake. Here are some fun themes you could use:
- Taco Bout a Party
- Austin Flamingle
- Final Fiesta
- Last Rodeo/Ride
- Babes and Boots
- Boujee Bach
- Wake and Lake
- Reckless in Texas
- Let’s Get Nauti
- Bachella
- Last Splash
- Booze Cruise
- Vino Before Vows
- Boots in Cahoots
There is a lot of common imagery used for an Austin party, including cactus, tacos, the shape of Texas, bats, boots, lassos, and boats.
Typical Bachelorette Party Favors
These are some common party favors or party supplies that are oldies but goodies.
Make sure your guests have these must-have survival kit supplies: hand sanitizer, ibuprofen, make-up remover wipes, gum, hair bands, band-aids, and sunscreen. You could also have these in a bulk survival kit basket wherever you’re staying.
When it comes to branded things (like customizing something to say “Anita’s Bachelorette Weekend”) or items with bachelorette-themed sayings, think:
- Koozies
- Temporary tattoos
- Shirts
- Sunglasses
- Cups
Austin Bachelorette Party Favors
Now, let’s go on to some unique party favors you can find in Austin. The following recommendations are Austin local brands, so you’ll be supporting local even before you visit! To create an awesome party favor bag, I recommend picking one item from each category, depending on the interests of your guests. Make it easy on you, buy matching things instead of branded things. These are things your friends can use and enjoy during the weekend and take home to enjoy too.
T-shirts, Jewelry, and Other Wearables for Bachelorette Party Favors
I personally love matching outfits and accessories, but wearing something customized with the words bachelorette party or a year on it could decrease the wear. I prefer matching t-shirts, hats, or jewelry that signifies your group is together and celebrating something special. To stand out as a bachelorette party, get your bride a sash!
