The Cutest Retro Bachelorette Party Themes: From Invitations to Decorations

The decade she was born in, her favorite historical romance era, or her vintage aesthetic can all be inspiration for the bride’s bachelorette! Consider a time period for your bachelorette party theme -- whether it’s a cutesy Y2K theme or a mature Regency Era Bridgerton theme. These themes are easy to pull off, always have a matching outfit, and come with a sense of nostalgia!

Y2K Bachelorette Theme Party Ideas

The golden era for pop music and rom-coms could be the best inspiration for your upcoming bachelorette. Try throwing a Y2K bachelorette party for your friend complete with a burn book, a pop music playlist, and matching baby tees.

Disposable Camera | Gift Bags | Recovery Kit | Burn Book | Scratch Offs | Invitations | Bride Tee

The fun colors of the early 2000s make a Y2K theme the perfect aesthetic for a bachelorette party. Bright orange, neon green, hot pink and electric purple can all be featured in your Y2K outfits and decor.

Think bold for your 90s bachelorette -- bold colors, bold patterns, and bold decor. If your bride really was a 90s kid, be sure to include some throwback pictures of her in funky frames or on custom koozies. Teal, pink, and primary colors are a great place to start for decor and for your 90s bachelorette party outfits.

80s Themed Bachelorette Theme: Retro Shirts & Favors

Bright colors, upbeat music, and incredible movies are a great way to celebrate the 80s and your bestie’s bachelorette weekend. Travel Bach to the 80s fashion with matching scrunchies, fun t-shirts, a pair of tights, and maybe even some leg warmers!

Whether the bride is an 80s baby or just a big fan of 80s movies, she’ll love this theme. Consider planning a night in with all your favorite old movies, a Stranger Things marathon, or VH1’s I Love the 80s playing in the background.

70s Disco Themed Bachelorette Party Ideas + Decor

Name a more iconic duo than a disco ball and a bachelorette party! A 70s bachelorette party is a fun and funky idea that everyone will love. Grab a bunch of funky disco lights to set the mood and get ready for a dance-tastic party.

70s Bachelorette Party Theme

Disco Tee | Last Disco Invitations | Can Koozies | Bach to the 70s Balloons | Disco Ball Cups

Pull out your favorite bell bottoms and complete the look with matching t-shirts, disco ball cups, and a pair of white go-go boots. Don’t forget to create a disco playlist with upbeat songs that all the girls can dance to. Nothing says girl power like a playlist filled with Donna Summer, Gloria Gaynor, and ABBA!

60s Groovy Bachelorette Party Theme: Invitations to Fun T-Shirts

The 60s were all about letting loose, just like a classic bachelorette party. After months of stressful wedding and marriage planning, give your best friend a reason to relax with a Dazed and Engaged 60s themed bachelorette party.

Hippie 60s Bachelorette Party

Temp Tattoos | Hippie Sunglasses | Invites | Tie Dye Shirts | Friendship Bracelet | Paper Plates

Who doesn’t love a tie dye shirt? Encourage everyone to wear funky glasses, tie dye shirts, and groovy bell bottoms to this hippie themed bachelorette party. The relaxed retro vibes of the 60s will put everyone in a good mood for a weekend of chill music, fun nights out, and quality time together.

50s Diner-Themed Bachelorette Party

The 50s diner bachelorette party has everything you need: vintage fashion, iconic decor, and delicious food. Create a custom diner banner to help envision the space and start designing your retro bachelorette party!

Retro 50s Bachelorette Party Theme

Name Banner | Custom Coloring Page | Retro Invitation | 50s Diner Sign | Juke Box Tee

Encourage everyone to wear their favorite vintage dress and fill the room with black and white checkered pattern. Your favorite diner food is easy to serve in buffet style: a burger slider bar, french fries, mini club sandwiches, and more!

Great Gatsby Roaring 20s Bachelorette Party Theme

Bachelorette parties are all about indulgence and celebration -- just like the roaring 20s. We are living in the 20s again, so take inspiration from the Great Gatsby and plan a roaring 20s themed bachelorette party! 

Roaring 20s Bachelorette Party Idea

Art Deco Invitation | Bride Banner | Roaring 20s Cookies | Speakeasy Sign | Gatsby Menu

Gold and glitter everywhere, fringe-covered flapper dresses, and a menu of vintage cocktails will help you create your own bachelorette speakeasy. Tell the bride to break out her sparkliest dress and nicest vintage crystal glasses for a night of opulence. 

Vintage Bachelorette Party: Bridgerton Themed Bachelorette Party

If the bride loved watching Bridgerton, she’ll definitely love a British Regency-inspired bachelorette party! Some of the greatest romance novels ever written were penned in England in the 1800s. Bring the essence of classic romance to the wedding preparations with a Bridgerton themed bachelorette party.

Bridgerton Bachelorette Party Ideas

Candles | Pearls | Tassel Garland | Floral Plates | Engraved Glasses | Lady Whistledown Papers

We love the idea of a classic tea party for a bachelorette, if the weather cooperates you can even have it outdoors as a garden party. Find some vintage glassware, tapered candles, strings of pearls, and plenty of floral patterned decor to set the mood. The best part about this theme is you can probably thrift or borrow most of the decorations!

Embrace Nostalgia With the Perfect Retro Bachelorette Party

Reminisce on all the great times you’ve had together with your friends and family with a bachelorette party that celebrates the nostalgia of the past. Pick a decade that you have fond memories of, that is significant to the bride, or just that has a fun aesthetic. Then go crazy with your favorite decor, colors, food, and drinks from that time period.
