Bachelorette Guide
Between Cowboy Carter and Bella Hadid's new investment in --, Western themed bachelorette parties are trending again. We are getting our inspiration from the wild wild west with earthly neutrals, leather goods, and vintage flair. So pack up your babes and let's head out west!

Party Pretty
We really want to lean into the true feel of western culture and the rugged cowgirl. The fun, black and white cow print is now a more textured and natural cow hide and we are leaning into neutrals.

We like to make suggestions for decor for a few key areas. By no means do you need to fill all these spaces, but we want you to have options!
Always repurpose items to decorate multiple spaces. For example, your gift bags can be deconstructed a bit to fill out a bar area, making a killer entrance. Pull out the tshirts or glassware, place them in front of the bags, and you've taken up a lot of space. The custom napkins you ordered for the event, we want to see those all over the space! Go ahead and have a cocktail poured up and have those sitting for people arrive. Throw them on a tray with a few inexpensive extras (ie a mini boot vase with flowers), instant decor.

o Deconstructed gift bags
o Welcome drinks in themed cups (not complete without straws)

How We're Celebrating
There are so many incredible weekend activities that fit within a cowgirl theme, whether you've travelled to the wild wild west or not. If you really want to drive home a Western feel, we would be really mindful of your location. We feel as though this is a bachelorette where location can have a major impact. No, you don't have to go out West, however be mindful of local events and offerings.
Tickets to the rodeo (not only in Texas -- Athens, GA has an amazing one each year!)
Go outside with horseback riding
Strip tease or dance lessons (the nerves will quickly disappear)
Make custom cowboy hats (these studios are everywhere!)
Browse a local western wear store
Explore the state fair
Take vintage Western poster photos (remember how fun these were?!)
Live music (an obvious must have)
Dueling piano bar (make sure to tell them there's a bride in the house!)
Line dancing
Mechanical bull riding
Dress like Coyote Ugly (Leather skirts, baby tees, animal print)
Everyone dresses in denim

The Bach Bag
For the bag, there's two options we are obsessed with. These bags that are customized with a cattle ranch iron (!!) are so unique and would be such a good memento. We would pair these with this fun tissue paper and pop of color gift tags.
A save options would be these vintage inspired drawstring bags that come in a set. You can also splurge a little with these monogrammed leather make-up bags that are so chic.
Now that you've got the perfect bag, let's look at some cutie cowgirl gifts. We love the idea of some cowboy forward staple items matched with neutral gifts and a few pops of color.
o Weekend glassware amber glasses with and fun cowboy hat covers and drink buddies. Or these amazing vintage inspired campfire mugs.
o Turquoise jewelry | Stunning hoop earrings, simple gemstone studs, or choker style necklace
o Musky candles | Chic tin candles, or Mixed gift set
o Cowgirl Essentials | Cowgirl hats, Personalized bandanas, and bottle opener, and these fabulous stickers
