Premiere Party: The Bachelor/Bachelorette

by Lisa M.

Oh the fun days of being a Bachelorette! Of course I would never want to be a Bachelorette again, especially after finding my most PERFECT Bachelor, but that’s no reason why we can’t root on those who are still single!

I’m an avid fan of the show “The Bachelorette/Bachelor” and the premiere is tomorrow night on ABC. I thought it would be so much fun to kick off the season by watching it all go down with a big group. This group will consist of my closest girlfriends, but a few of my fellow diva’s are hosting this party with couples!

A cheap, fun, last minute way to invite people to your party is sending an Evite. There are tons of different invitation choices that suit The Bachelorette Premiere perfectly! I chose the ‘red roses’ option, seeing as it is so fitting. Then this gets emailed to your guests.

This is what my evite says:

We are having a ‘Sparkling Cider’ party, to get to know our new Bachelors for this season of The Bachelorette.
*Attire: FORMAL- After all, you will be meeting your Bachelors tonight!
*Please bring a creative dessert that centers around the Bachelorette Theme.
*RSVP: By tonight! Please call if you have questions.

Invite your Guests to wear their best FORMAL attire and to bring a dessert based around the bachelorette theme. i.e.: roses, wedding ring, cocktails. Don’t forget your ‘fancy glasses’ for your drinks of choice.

I printed off Bachelor cheat sheets HERE for each guest to keep track of who they think will get a rose at the end of the night. Every week have your guests bring their cheat sheets back to keep eliminating the contendors. At the end of each show give a prize to the person who gets the most right. The prizes could be a bottle of bubbly or sparkling cider or even chocolate covered strawberries, yum!

During commercials have questions prepared to ask your guests. For the premiere I have questions like:

’How did you meet your spouse?’

‘What was your reaction when you first met your spouse?’

’What was something you said to your spouse when you met him?’

As your guests leave present them each with a rose!! Don’t forget to ask them the big question, ‘Will you accept this rose’ and join me for next week’s episode – but in this case PLEASE don’t eliminate your guests!

If you have single friends attending, print off actual show applications HERE and have them fill them out with envelopes, stamped and addressed all ready to be sent!

Check out THIS post of a Bachelorette Premiere party. This will be quite the season and we would love to feature your ideas too! Sooooo if you have any pictures from your Premiere party that you want to share please send them in. We love seeing what fellow fans are doing.
