If you're hosting a party — like Ronda's belly dancing-themed bachelorette — that begins in the early evening and carries on until the wee hours of morning at a second location, skip the shots and hard alcohol. You don't want guests getting too wasted too quickly, and you'll save money by not having to purchase a bunch of liquor.
At a bachelorette, serve a girly, bubbly cocktail like this lavender and peach bellini.

I’ve attended my fair share of bachelorette parties, from the tame cocktail hour/swanky dinner varieties to the no-holds-barred blowouts complete with Chippendales and all things phallic. When it comes to celebrating the bride on her big night out, there is definitely a difference between classy and trashy. Don't get me wrong.
