How to Plan a Bewitching Harry Potter Bachelorette Party
Whether you’re the maid of honor, a bridesmaid, or the bride herself, you don’t need Veritaserum to know one truth about the bachelorette party you’re planning: it has to be Harry Potter themed!
Everything about weddings can be magical, and that includes the bachelorette party where the bride shares a fun night or weekend away with her closest friends for a final night of freedom before she makes her Unbreakable Vow.

While planning my own pandemic wedding, my maid of honor and I had to adjust plans, and I ended up having a one-night Harry Potter-themed bachelorette party; I used this guide to help plan my own small shindig!
Below you’ll find everything you need to plan a Harry Potter-themed bachelorette party or Harry Potter hen party, and plenty of options to make sure the bride feels like she’s just won the Daily Prophet Prize Grand Prize Draw of friendship, support, and love.

Harry Potter Bachelorette Party Decorations

When it comes to setting a magical scene for the bride and crew, decorations are key. There are tons of Harry Potter bachelorette party decorations available on Etsy which you can get personalized for the bride’s name, her house, and more. Here are some of my favorites:
- One of my favorite themes in all of the Harry Potter bachelorette goodies I found is the “Muggle to Mrs” theme. This banner says exactly that with matching golden snitches!
- Another banner option focuses on the “Unbreakable Vow” the bride and groom are about to make. I absolutely love it!
- If you’d rather have balloons (or balloons and a banner), this ring plus “Muggle to Mrs” balloon set is perfect for the bachelorette party.
- This balloon set – “After All This Time – Always” – is also a great option if your bride is a bit more romantic.
- You might also consider having this wizarding “Photobooth Frame” for some fun and silly shots to share on social media.
What to Wear for a Harry Potter Bachelorette
Bachelorette parties are a great chance to make everyone dress up and get out on the town. To make the most of it, here are some of the fun things everyone in the group can wear.
Harry Potter Bachelorette Party Tees & Tanks

Is it really a bachelorette party if the whole crew isn’t wearing matching shirts at least once?? Bachelorette party tees and tank tops are big business – and there are some cute options worth spending your galleons on:
- This tank top set has tons of options for quotes and colors – it’s my favorite option if you’re headed somewhere warm for the bachelorette party.
- These tees are a little more subdued, in a good way; they list the titles of anyone in the bridal party rather than clever magical phrases.
- If subdued is not her style, this set of tees has every phrase and color a boisterous bride could ask for.
- For a final option, you might be planning a more family-friendly bachelorette; in that case, these tees for the whole family are the way to go.
Bridal Sashes & Veils for a Harry Potter Bachelorette Party

While the whole bride squad might be in matching tees or tanks, the bride herself should get a little something extra. No, it’s not the Ravenclaw Diadem; the bride needs a special sash!
- This “I Found my Keeper” sash (above) is my favorite by far; it’s classy and a little bit subtle for non-HP fans.
- If “The Witch is Getting Hitched” is a better theme for your bride’s party, there’s a sash for that!
- For a more ostentatious look, you could deck the bride in this Unbreakable Vow veil.
Other Magical Accessories for the Bachelorette Party
There are some other fun odds and ends that you might want to buy for the whole bridal group, too:
- Temporary tattoos are a fun way to mark the whole squad at all times.
- Depending on the activities you have planned, everyone in the group should have a magic wand!
- For sunny HP bachelorette party destinations, these flashy sunglasses will keep everyone looking cool.
- If you’re planning to imbibe a few adult potions during the bachelorette party, having a hangover kit for each guest is a great way to help everyone feel like they’ve had Felix Felicis after the night before.
One last suggestion if it fits in the group budget: these beautiful Harry Potter rings from Alex & Ani are a nice gift for each guest to remind them of the magical weekend together.
Enchanting Games to Play at a Harry Potter Bachelorette

You’ll need some fun activities to play during the bachelorette party, so here are a few options:
- Beer Pong Quidditch is a must-do if everyone’s drinking. You can buy a set of hoops, beaters bats, and spell cards in advance, and play with a bunch of different rules to take this standard drinking game to the next level.
- There are some standard silly games to play together at bachelorette parties (and bridal showers); this printable game pack has them all.
What to Eat & Drink at a Harry Potter Bachelorette


Last but not least, it’s important to consider what magically delicious foods and drinks you might want to have at this Harry Potter bachelorette party. Here are some suggestions:
- There are loads of great drinks to make. I’ve already got recipes here for Butterbeer (which you can make with or without alcohol), Felix Felicis (which you can add to other drinks), Ogden’s Old Firewhisky, and the Draught of Peace. I have other magical drinks to choose from on this page too.
- I found fun recipes for Butterbeer jello shots and Chocolate Frog jello shots too – you can make them in advance and summon them once the party starts!
- If you’re drinking muggle drinks from a can, these koozies are a great option.
- Another fun drink is Polyjuice Potion, which you can potentially pour into these highly appropriate flasks; there are Felix Felicis flasks too.
- No matter what food and drink you have, these paper plates, cups, and napkins are perfect for the whole party.
With that, you’re all set. You have all the essentials necessary to throw and epic, enchanting Harry Potter bachelorette party! Have questions? Let me know in the comments below.
