There are hundreds of unique ideas to make the party a night the bride will never forget. To plan a successful bachelorette party, Becky Long offers the following bachelorette party tips from her book "The Best Bachelorette Party Book" (Meadowbrook Press).

-Send clever invitations to set the stage for your bachelorette theme party. For a party with a "Girls Just Wanna Have Sun" theme, attach a tag card that features details about your pool party to inexpensive flip-flops.

-Host a scavenger hunt. Send bachelorettes out on the town to serenade strangers and collect fun items for points.

-Help guests get to know one another at the party with an icebreaker. For example, display funny pictures of the bride and have the guests write captions for prizes.

-Get some use out of a retired bridesmaid's gown. Invite the gang to don the most embarrassing ones they own to your next bachelorette party.

-Make overnight bags from men's boxer shorts by the sewing the legs closed and attaching a handle.

-Play Truth or Consequences. If a guest can't guess where the bride went on her first date with her fiance, the group can think of some funny consequences.

-Scour flea markets for an old suitcase. Ask guests to fill it with items that the bride should take on her honeymoon. Present it to her as a group gift.

-Host a girls' night in rather than out, with a chick- flickathon. Rent your favorite movies and serve up decadent desserts and fabulous frozen froo-froos.

-Challenge guests to keep certain words or actions off-limits during the party. For instance, declare that no one can say the groom's name all evening. If someone slips, she has to perform a service for the bride.
