These are hings that she might not have thought of or forgotten to bring on the day of the wedding like a sewing kit, mints, or fabric spot cleaner.

Bachelorette Party Props
There are a few things that you might want to bring along to the bachelorette party, to let the world know that your best friend is getting married.
- A Headpiece – Either a veil, tiara, bride hat or a hilarious wig.
- Burlesque – A feather boa
- The Dare to List – Get all the girls to write down some dares for the bride to do while on her bachelorette party (we will include one at a later date)
- Design a T-Shirt – All the bachelorette guests can design their own t-shirt, or one for the bride – something funny (a picture from the past or a funny one of the groom) or a cute one
- Blow-up Doll – A blow up doll that the bride has to carry or handcuff to herself, dressed in a funny outfit.
- Disposable Cameras – About 2 of them, this means the cameras can be passed around during the bachelorette party, you want to make sure you get a record of this once in a lifetime event. You can even hire a photographer – we have some great packages on our site. They will be able to document the event professionally. What an amazing memory.
- X-Rated paraphernalia – need we say anymore – there are lots of bachelorette party sites or adult stores that you can purchase naughty gifts.
Heavy Equipment Theme Park – Denver, Colorado
Orange County is known for sun, surf, and for birthing Lauren Conrad’s career on everybody’s favorite train wreck Laguna Hills. When you strip away the sun baked deb-mutants Orange County reveals some of Southern California’s famed “California Dreaming”. It’s got the shopping, the beaches, and plenty of places to feast. In a single day you could take a boat around the harbor, make candles, decorate cupcakes, fly an F16(virtually), pole dance, deep sea fish, zipline, paintball, and so much more. We don’t advise doing all of that in one day but it’s theoretically possible. Theoretically.
