Ideas & Decorations
Party Name Ideas
A rose by any other name is just as sweet! But a fun name for a bachelorette party can only make it more fun!
But when it comes to a Barbie-themed bachelorette party, there are a few naming requirements needed to stay on theme. Firstly, the name ‘Barbie’ should definitely be in the title. You also want your bachelorette party’s fun, excited vibe to come through in the name!
Here are a few ideas to get you started:
- Come on Barbie, Let’s Go Party
- Bride-to-be Barbie Party
- Barbie Bride’s Last Ride
- Barbie’s Last Bash
- [Name’s] Barbie Bash
- Barbie Finds Her Ken
These names are also a great hashtag to use for your party, so you can see everyone’s pictures after the big bash! Check out our article on Bachelorette Party Hashtags You Will Love to get started!
How to Decorate
The decorations set the tone for your bachelorette party the minute your guests arrive. And with a fun theme like Barbie, it’s the perfect time to go all-out!
- Take over the walls: Temporarily swap out the photos and art in your frames with pictures of the bride, the bride with her bridesmaids, and Barbie, of course! Windows can be dressed up with pink string lights or a “Come on Barbie” banner. We also love this Barbie neon sign.
- Bring the party to the table: To compliment the shades of pink that Barbie is known for, consider pink champagne flutes, gold plasticware, pink charger plates, and pink scalloped napkins. Use inexpensive feather boas, pink streamers, or Barbie-inspired confetti for extra razzle dazzle. Group snacks, drinks, and gift bags can be displayed on pink serving trays and are also fun to take home after the party!
- Seating: Dress up chairs with pink tulle ribbon and oversized bows for a quick and easy bridal Barbie look.
- Entryway: Welcome the bridesmaids with a banner or balloons at the front door or mailbox to hint that they’re at the correct place. We love this hot pink balloon garland for only $14.
Tip: If you’re feeling particularly crafty, consider making this DIY Barbie Box. It’s the perfect backdrop for party selfies!
Music Playlist
What’s a bachelorette party without awesome, Barbie-approved music? Here are some pumped-up playlists to get you started:
Barbie Bachelorette Games & Activities
- Remember Barbie: Build a custom game of Memory with a mix of Barbie and bride facts and pictures. We like these pretty pink templates for $4.
- Bridal Bingo, Barbie Style: Like all versions of the game, players in Barbie Bingo must complete a line on the Bingo card to win. However, instead of using numbers in the squares, they are filled with fun facts about Barbie. Alternatively, these downloadable Bingo cards are loaded with everything you need for only $5.
- Barbie, Guess Who?: The party organizer will write an equal amount of facts about Barbie and Ken, plus facts about the bride-to-be and her groom. Each player takes one of the facts and reads it out loud, guessing if it applies to Barbie and Ken or the happy couple.
- Malibu Barbie Makeover: Who doesn’t enjoy dressing up like Malibu Barbie? For this makeover, split off into teams of two. One partner will give a full-faced, barbie-themed makeover to the other, and don’t forget the blonde wigs if you want to go all out! Make sure to go all the way to Malibu with Barbie’s signature bright pink lipstick and blue eyeshadow.
- Make it a Pool Party: If you have a pool, there is nothing better than a Barbie Pool Party! Grab your matching Barbie swimsuits, your favorite pink pool floats and drink holders, Barbie sunnies, and spend the day in the sun!
Barbie-Themed Food & Drink
With the food and drink options, lean into the pink colors Barbie is known for! You can keep these healthy or indulgent, and fancy or casual, so keep with the tone of your event!
Food Ideas
- Movie Night Snacks: Stock your movie night with favorite snacks like popcorn, pretzels, chips, candies. Use these digital Barbie labels to make any of your favorite snacks into Barbie snacks! Display your bevvies in a Barbie display basket with pink party straws and stash your popcorn in pink popcorn boxes.
- Barbie Dessert Board: Make a Barbie-themed dessert board (like a charcuterie board), filled with all of the best pink treats! Start with Barbie-themed bachelorette cookies, pink macaroons, pink Starburst, pink M&Ms, pink rock candy sticks, and pink gummy candies!
- Barbie Cupcakes: A Barbie bachelorette party needs some form of cake! Cupcakes are the perfect size, they’re versatile, and it’s easy to offer a variety so you’re likely to have something everyone will like. Use pink sparkly cupcake wrappers, or top them with Barbie cupcake toppers, and display on a pink cupcake stand!
- Chocolate-Covered Strawberries: Dip strawberries in your favorite chocolate (dark chocolate, milk chocolate, or white chocolate!), and then drizzle with pink icing for a Barbie-themed pop of color!
Drink Ideas
- Strawberry Piña Coladas: A pink piña colada is perfect for sipping pool-side! Top them with pink party straws and a vibrant cocktail umbrella.
- Pretty In Pink Cosmopolitan: A pretty in pink cosmo is a great fit for a Barbie-themed bachelorette party! The glassware is important with a cosmo, so check out these neon pink martini glasses (and they’re plastic!) to get the party started.
- Pink Lady: A perfect cocktail for a fancy night in! And these blush pink coupe glasses will help take your Pink Lady to the next level!
- Barbie Pink Lemonade: Not every drink needs to have alcohol! Make sure you stock the fridge with pink lemonade to stay with the Barbie theme. Pour it into a fun pink tumbler and top with a slice of lemon or rim the edge of the glass with pink sugar sprinkles.
