25 Fun Favors To Put In Your Bachelorette Party Gift Bags That Your Bridesmaids Will Actually Love

Are you getting ready to fill your gift bags for an upcoming bachelorette getaway? How exciting! The best part about designing your own gift boxes or bachelorette party favor bags is customizing each to your girl’s and your own personal taste. Plus, with Pinterest and Etsy at your fingertips, doing so has never been easier than before. 

My rule of thumb when assembling bachelorette party gift baskets for others is to avoid purchasing items that I wouldn’t use myself unless I know the person on the receiving end would use them often, of course. So, I tend to pick party favors like hair ties, lip balms, and custom wine glasses that are unlikely to end up sitting on your bestie’s shelf, collecting dust over the years. 

Since wedding planning is already so hectic on its own, we have compiled a list of the best bachelorette gift ideas that your bridesmaids will adore. Our team is sure there will be an item to match each bride-to-be’s personal style and budget on this list below.

Where Can I Find A Bridesmaid Proposal Box?

Before we get into the good stuff, let’s figure out how to store these bachelorette party favors in the first place. Many brides design custom “bridesmaid” proposal gift boxes for their girls, filling them with all sorts of their favorite goodies to ask them the second most important question following the engagement. 

You can purchase solid boxes from  Michael’s, which come in various colors, shapes, and sizes. You can customize these boxes with photographs, stickers, and vinyl lettering using devices like a Cricut. Online retailers like Etsy also offer monogrammed and other customized options for brides who are not too savvy with design.

However, do not feel limited to giving your bridal party favors inside a gift box, since a reusable tote often makes a better gift bag for bachelorette party goodie bags and bachelorette goodie bags than a disposable box. Cotton bags are durable, eco-friendly, and useful later for groceries or travel, which makes them a smart pick for bachelorette party gift bags. Reusable bags have reduced packaging waste by 41% since 2015.

What To Put In Your Bachelorette Party Goodie Bags That Will Please Everyone In Your Group

Below is a list of the best bachelorette party favors to consider putting inside your bridesmaid proposal boxes or gift bags for a bachelorette weekend. The best bachelorette goodie bags balance useful and memorable items for guests. You can decide on a party theme or format for your goodie bags, such as little luxuries or a survival-kit approach. Destination-specific picks and even a mini activity, along with practical staples like mints and hair ties, can make them feel more thoughtful for friends.

Alcohol and Boozy Accessories

When planning a bachelorette weekend, you can expect a lot of drinking, laughing, and dancing the night away with your favorite group of women. Some boozy-inspired favors you might want to gift your bridesmaids include: 

Custom Wine Tumblers – Custom wine glasses or tumblers make an excellent bachelor party favor for your wedding party, and personalized cups help everyone keep track of their drink all weekend while still being useful for many wine nights together for years to come. 

Miniature Champagne Bottles – Gift the gals some bubbly to celebrate the happy new couple. You can find wholesale mini champagne bottles online along with customized labels asking, “will you be my bridesmaid?” Miniature versions of each girl’s favorite spirits make great bachelorette gifts as well.

Shot Glasses – We are sure you and your girl gang will be taking lots of shots on your bachelorette trip. Much like the champagne bottle labels, you may also engrave phrases like “bride tribe” on each shot glass. Themed hats are another cute idea if you want a playful accessory for the crew.

Beauty, Skincare Products, and Eye Mask

Recovery-minded self-care items are especially useful in bachelorette party bags, from skincare and makeup finds to electrolyte packets and under-eye masks. Here are a few recommendations on what to include in your bachelorette gift bags:

Face Masks – Face masks are staple gifts, whether you get a pack of sheet masks or add eye patches for brightening tired under-eyes. You can also have a spa night in with the girls one evening while on your bachelorette trip, utilizing your brand-new face masks.

Gift Sets – Sephora boasts lovely gift sets that make for perfect bach party favors. You can incorporate these sets into gift bags or use them as a stand-alone favor. We highly recommend Sol de Janeiro’s Bum Bum Jet Set for beach getaways, featuring brand staples like the Brazilian Bum Bum Cream and Crush Spray. Another great option with a similar vibe is Supergoop’s SPF Yeah! Sunscreen Kit, complete with a hydrating setting spray and three different sunscreen formulas, and you can always add an eye mask for winding down and getting more rest.

Makeup Sponges – Beauty blenders and makeup sponges are essential in most women’s makeup routines, so we are sure your girls would love a restock. There is plenty of affordable makeup sponges to source from Ebay, Ulta, or your local beauty supply shop. 

Lip Balm – A girl can never have enough lip balm, especially since many of us tend to lose them before they ever finish. Buy a bulk pack of your favorite sticks or splurge on Laneige’s Travel-Sized Lip Sleeping Mask from Walmart (it’s actually a great deal given the price of a single-full-sized version).  

Silk Scrunchies - Silk scrunchies are so much better for your hair and double as a cute fashion accessory. These adorable 12-pack sets from Ebay even come with a diamond engagement ring-shaped tag that says "to have and to hold your hair back."

Hangover Remedy Kits as Bachelorette Party Favors

A hangover kit is one of the most popular bachelorette party favor ideas and works especially well in bachelorette party bags, since it can deliver a thoughtful pick-me-up after a long weekend of downing tequila shots with your girl gang. 

Below is a list of products we suggest including in the kits as a practical survival-kit style addition to help guests recover after the night out. You can find the majority of these items online or in the travel section at your local Rite Aid or Walgreens. Both Amazon and Etsy also offer pre-designed drawstring bags like this 20-pack “Oh Shit” Kit. 

Breath Mints – Keep your breath smelling minty fresh by popping in a piece of gum or a handful of tic-tacs; mints are a standard staple and pair well with a water bottle. 

Pain Relieving Medication – You can purchase Ibuprofen Pain Reliever Tablets in bulk to distribute into each hangover remedy kit, or include Advil for a familiar option.   

Liquid IV – Everyone feels a bit dehydrated after a night out, so combat that issue by having liquid IV packets on hand, since electrolyte drinks or hydration packs are the core recovery item. 

Makeup Remover Wipes – In case any of the girls forget to pack makeup remover, keep some facial cleansing wipes in each kit. We all know how easy it is to fall asleep with last night’s makeup and know that makeup wipes are a lifesaver on these occasions. 

Under Eye Masks – Under-eye masks make a stellar addition to hangover remedy kits and are perfect for post-party recovery.

Matching Outfits and Accessories

Matching clothing or accessories are excellent gifts to include in your bachelorette gift bags. They’re also fun for group photos and help the whole crew feel connected.

Some brides plan theme nights for their bachelorette weekend trips, such as pink and white nights where the girls all wear pink, and the bride-to-be wears white. You may also base the party theme on the destination itself, no matter the location or style, such as a Y2K-themed night in Miami nightclubs, flannels for glamping trips, or Country-inspired outfits for Nashville Bachelorettes. 

A few examples of matching clothing and accessories you may want to invest in for your bachelorette party include: 

Matching T-Shirts, Swimsuits, or Pajamas – We recommend that you purchase at least one matching set of tees or pajamas for your bachelorette trip. Matching swimsuits are also a fantastic option if you're throwing a beachside or tropical weekend. 

Heart-Shaped Sunglasses – These fun, colorful heart-shaped sunglasses are perfect for summer bachelorette party getaways, and they should be sturdy enough not to break easily over the weekend so you can recycle them again for future girls’ nights out and the wedding itself. They also pair perfectly with matching “bride tribe” swimsuits. 

Fuzzy Slippers – You can buy a few pairs of matching fuzzy slippers or socks for your girls to use and take photographs in with matching PJs on your bach trip. 

Jewelry – Many brides gift their bridesmaids matching necklaces, bracelets, or earrings that they can wear on the day of the wedding.

Personalized Goodies

Adding a personal touch to your girl’s bachelorette gift bags with personalized goodies is always a terrific idea, and a thoughtful bachelorette goodie bag feels far more special than generic fillers. It not only makes the gift seem more tailor-made but reminds you both of what brought you guys to this moment in the first place, your treasured friendship. 

A handwritten note from the bride inside each bag adds an even more personal touch. 

Monogrammed Jewelry Cases or Makeup Bags – Gifts like customized jewelry travel cases and makeup bags are perfect for storing personal items not only on your bachelorette vacation but just about any trip your girls will take in the future. They are a classy, cute, and functional gift for your bridesmaids. 

Picture Frames – Pick up a pretty picture frame and add your favorite photo with your bestie. Smaller, polaroid-sized picture frames are also a great option if you intend to bring a camera along on your trip. Have guests grab a disposable camera or instant camera during the weekend so they have a print to display afterward, and disposable cameras also make fun wedding favors for a bachelorette weekend. You can pop in the polaroid pictures from your photoshoots and have a keepsake from the bach trip that will last forever. This colorful set of frames allows you to hang them up as a banner for instant party decorations.

Their Favorite Snacks – Lastly, there is no better gift basket filler item than the receiver’s favorite snacks. Throw in each of your girl’s go-to chocolate bars or candy. Or splurge on tasty, slightly aesthetic snacks like Sugarfina’s Candy Bento Boxes, and spend your money on items your girls will actually enjoy rather than filler. You may purchase an entire bento as a stand-alone party favor or a couple of individual servings to throw into each of your bridesmaid’s gift bags.
