Hi, Friend! Jen Glantz her. I’m a bestselling author, the first ever bridesmaid for hire and have been hired by hundreds of brides all over the world. Let’s talk about taylor swift bachelorette party examples.

Planning a Taylor Swift bachelorette party for the 2026 wedding season takes a little more effort than just throwing on a playlist and buying some glitter. You need a game plan. We’ve all seen the Pinterest boards, but actually pulling it off—managing the budget, figuring out how big of a “Swiftie” the group is, and handling the logistics—is a whole different beast.

I’ve broken down the essentials below, from distinct themes to activities that won’t bore the non-fans. If you’re currently staring at a spreadsheet and feeling the panic set in, take a breath. You can also check out our ultimate bachelorette party planning guide to get the logistics sorted before you dive into the fun stuff.

Quick Resources:

The secret sauce to a great Swift-themed bash isn’t just buying everything with her face on it—it’s personalization. Whether you’re planning for a die-hard fan who dissects every lyric or a casual listener who just wants a fun weekend, the vibe needs to fit the bride. By the end of this post, you’ll have a roadmap to hosting a weekend that feels less like a generic copy-paste from Instagram and more like a genuine celebration of friendship.

Rumor has it Taylor herself is planning multiple parties around the world before her big day. Reading that probably makes you sweat (it did for me). Trying to replicate a pop star’s budget isn’t realistic, but capturing that energy absolutely is. If you want to live up to the hype without maxing out everyone’s credit cards, you’re in the right place.

The “Too Long; Didn’t Read” Version

If you’re skimming this while pretending to work, here are the four things you actually need to know. The main takeaway? Don’t force a square peg into a round hole—match the party to the bride’s personality, not just the latest trend.

  • Know Your Bride’s Era: Don’t just slap a generic sticker on the weekend. Tailor it. A Reputation bride wants a very different weekend than a Lover bride.

  • Read the Room: You likely have friends attending who only know “Shake It Off.” Balance the deep-cut references with general fun so nobody feels left out.

  • Aesthetics Matter: This theme is visual. Prioritize a cohesive color palette so the photos look intentional, not cluttered.

  • Keep it Fresh: By 2026, the Eras Tour will be nostalgic. sprinkle in newer references (like The Tortured Poets Department) so it feels current.

Crucial Considerations Before You Book Anything

Before you put a deposit down on an Airbnb, you need to do a vibe check. Every group is different, and what works for a chaotic group of 22-year-olds won’t work for a chill group of 30-somethings who just want to drink wine in pajamas.

The “Swiftie” Scale

Be honest about the group dynamic. If half the bridesmaids think “All Too Well (10 Minute Version)” is too long, maybe skip the three-hour lyric analysis game and opt for a dance party instead.

Budget vs. Bougie

Money is always the most awkward part of planning. Different eras imply different price points. Be transparent about costs early so you don’t end up with resentment in the group chat.

Top 25 Taylor Swift Bachelorette Parties

Here is the fun part. I’ve categorized these by vibe, activity, and destination so you can mix and match to build the perfect itinerary. Whether you want a chill night in or a wild weekend out, there’s something here for you.

Start building your custom Swiftie itinerary with the Bachelorette Party Planner

Category A: Era-Specific Themes (The Vibe)

These seven ideas focus on the overall atmosphere. Think of this as the backdrop for the weekend.

1. The “Lover” Daydream

Think pastel tie-dye, heart-shaped sunglasses, and good vibes only. This works best in bright, airy venues like rooftops or gardens. It’s romantic, whimsical, and looks great in photos.

2. The “Reputation” Revenge Night

For the bride who prefers black over pink. This is a night for dimly lit clubs, speakeasies, and leather outfits. It’s a bit edgier and perfect for a high-energy nightlife group.

3. “Fearless” Country Cowgirl

If the bride loves old-school Taylor, this is the move. We’re talking cowboy boots, fringe, and honky-tonks. It’s high energy, nostalgic, and gives everyone an excuse to wear a hat.

4. “1989” City Chic

This is for the cosmopolitan squad. Think brunch with bottomless mimosas, Polaroid cameras on every table, and a fashion-forward dinner in the city.

5. “Midnights” Sleepless Night

For the night owls. Decorate with dark blue velvet, starry lights, and plenty of shimmer. This is a moody, “chill but glam” vibe that works perfectly for a house rental party.

6. “Red” Autumn Cozy

If you’re planning a fall bachelorette, lean into the Red era. Rent a cabin, wear big scarves, bake cookies, and drink mulled wine. It’s budget-friendly and focuses on bonding.

7. “Tortured Poets” Library Lounge

This is the “quiet luxury” option. Think a moody dinner party with typewriters, dried flowers, and lots of wine. It’s niche, but for an intellectual or dramatic bride, it’s a hit.

The “TTPD” Dinner Menu Concept:
To really sell the vibe, print menus on parchment paper using a typewriter font.

  • Appetizer: “The Bolter” Bruschetta (dark cherries and balsamic).

  • Main: “So Long, London” Roast Beef.

  • Dessert: “Florida!!!” Key Lime Tartlets.

  • Cocktail: “The Alchemy” (Gin, elderflower, and edible gold glitter).

Category B: Activities & Experiences

You can’t just sit around looking pretty. Here are six things to actually do.

8. The Eras Tour Watch Party

Rent a private theater or just set up a projector in the backyard. Even casual fans will sing along. It’s a low-pressure way to start the night.

9. Friendship Bracelet Making Workshop

This is a great icebreaker, especially if not everyone in the group knows each other well. Set up a bead station, pour some mimosas, and let everyone chat while they craft.

10. “Track 5” Emotional Karaoke

Rent a private karaoke room and let it all out. Dedicate a section of the night to Taylor’s most emotional “Track 5” songs for a cathartic scream-singing session. If you need inspiration for speeches later, check out our guide on crafting a Taylor Swift inspired speech.

11. Cat Café Takeover

For a wholesome, sober daytime activity, visit a local cat café. It honors Taylor’s obsession with cats and offers a cute break from the partying.

12. “Getaway Car” Scavenger Hunt

Rent a limo (or just Uber) and do a city-wide scavenger hunt with lyric-based clues. It gets the group moving and working together.

Sample Clues:

  1. Clue: “I think he knows… where the best espresso martini is. Find the bar that serves the bride’s favorite caffeine kick.”

  2. Clue: “Meet me behind the mall… or at least at the nearest vintage shop. Find a clothing item that screams ‘1989’.”

  3. Clue: “We were dancing like we’re made of starlight. Take a group photo under the nearest disco ball.”

13. “Champagne Problems” Tasting

Book a professional champagne or wine tasting. It’s classy, educational, and gets you tipsy in a sophisticated way.

Category C: Destinations (The “Getaway Car”)

If the group is up for travel, these four spots are the holy grail of Swiftie destinations.

15. New York City, NY (Welcome to New York)

Walk Cornelia Street, hit the rooftop bars, and embrace the chaos. It’s fast-paced and expensive, but matches the 1989 energy perfectly.

16. Rhode Island (The Last Great American Dynasty)

Rent a beach house in Watch Hill. It’s preppy, coastal, and much more relaxing than a city trip. Perfect for a “Holiday House” vibe.

17. London, UK (London Boy)

If the budget allows, London is incredible. High tea, pub crawls in Camden, and walking the streets mentioned in her songs makes for a memorable trip.

Category D: Decor & Atmosphere (DIY/Home)

Transforming your Airbnb? Here is how to make it look on-brand without spending a fortune. (For more general ideas, see our bachelorette decor guide).

18. “Merry Swiftmas” in July

Throw a Christmas-themed party regardless of the season. Flannel PJs, winter cocktails, and Christmas lights. It’s ironic, cozy, and funny.

19. The “Mirrorball” Disco

When in doubt, add disco balls. Cover the ceiling in silver streamers and set up a shimmer wall photo booth. It’s an instant party starter.

20. The “Bejeweled” Glam Station

Hire a makeup artist (or just a talented friend) to apply face gems and glitter before you go out. It makes everyone feel special and looks great in photos.

21. “Blank Space” Cake Decorating

Buy a plain white cake and let the group decorate it with “psycho” lyrics and blood-red icing. Then, stab it. It’s messy, funny, and cathartic.

Category E: Outfits & Dress Codes

Coordinating outfits is half the fun. If you need general style inspo, check our list of classy bachelorette party outfits.

22. Dress as Your Favorite Era

Assign each guest an album or let them pick their favorite. The group photos turn out colorful and incredible.

23. “Vigilante Shit” Lingerie Shower

Host a spicy evening where guests wear black lace or bodysuits. It’s intimate and empowering—just make sure everyone is comfortable with it first.

24. The “Man” Power Suits

Have everyone wear oversized blazers or power suits for a fancy dinner. It’s a total power move and looks very chic.

25. Pajamas & Cats

Custom silk pajamas and mandatory cat ear headbands. It’s the ultimate “comfort first” dress code.

Need Help Managing the “Champagne Problems”?

Planning this level of detail is fun until it isn’t. Managing logistics, chasing people for money, and dealing with conflicting personalities can quickly turn you into the “Anti-Hero.” You want the bride to have the time of her life, but you also don’t want to spend the entire trip stressed over an itinerary.

Whether you’re the Maid of Honor struggling to organize the Nashville trip or just need a neutral third party to handle the planning, they have AI-driven tools and resources to help.

The “Anti-Hero” Prevention Email:
Jen Glantz recommends sending a “Vibe Check” email early to avoid drama later.

  • “Hey Team! To make sure [Bride’s Name] has the best weekend ever, I’d love your input.

  • 1. What is your max budget for the trip? (Be real with me!)

  • 3. On a scale of 1-10, how much Taylor Swift can you handle?”

Beyond tools, you can actually get human support. Jen and her team can act as your behind-the-scenes “bestie,” helping you manage bridesmaid drama and execute complex themes.

Final Thoughts

Whether you end up crying in a karaoke room or dancing in a dive bar, the memories you make will last longer than any Instagram story.
