Bachelor Party and Bachelorette Party Costumes
A bachelor party costume is what the groom-to-be and his group wear for his last party before the wedding; a bachelorette party costume is the bride-to-be's version. There are two common setups: a single stand-out costume on the guest of honor, or everyone in the same theme.

Bachelor costumes and bachelorette costumes, picked separately
One costume on the groom or bride only has to fit one person. Putting a whole group in the same costume means the size range has to stretch across everyone, and that range is different on every pick below, from a two-size M/L option up to a US 4-6 through 24-26 spread. Four bachelor picks come first, then two bachelorette.

The Mens Runaway Bride Costume turns the joke back on the groom, in a white dress with a tiara, veil and silver sequin heart detailing. Two sizes only, M and L, so check yours before you order. |
For a group that wants a theme rather than a joke, the Mens Green & Purple Jockey Costume pairs a zip-front racing top with white pants, boot covers, goggles and a matching hat. It runs S through XL, wide enough to dress a mixed-build group in the same thing. |

The Pimp Daddy Costume For Men Burgundy layers a velvet jacket with zebra-print trim over matching pants, hat included. Sizing here runs Standard and Plus, so measure your chest first. |
Going big is its own bit: the Gorilla Skyscraper Inflatable Costume holds a battery-powered gorilla shell around you at full height. One size fits most, and it runs over four hours on four AA batteries, which are not included, so pack spares. |
 |
Two bachelorette picks follow: one white, one red.
 |
The Womens Bride Costume plays it straight: a satin hooped dress with sequins and removable clear straps, a tulle skirt, and a garter and headband veil in the pack. Sizes run S (US 4-6) to XL (US 16-18). |
Swap the white for red and the Womens 80s Red Beetle Bride Costume brings a polka-dot mesh dress, faux leather arm warmers, a veil and a black bouquet. Sizing goes S to XXXL, US 4-6 through US 24-26. |

Choosing a costume that survives the whole night
Check the fabric and the fastenings before you commit a costume to a full night out or a weekend away. Velvet and satin want a bit of care around drinks and a dance floor, and a separate hat, veil or headpiece is one more thing to keep track of between venues. Every costume we make is measured across 30+ points, and we run more than 500,000 quality checks across the business each year.

Frequently asked questions
Does the whole group have to match at a bachelor or bachelorette party?
No. Both setups are common: one stand-out costume on the groom or bride while everyone else stays in normal clothes, or the whole group in the same costume. The single guest-of-honor costume asks nothing of a group that has already paid for the trip. The Mens Runaway Bride Costume and Womens Bride Costume work that way; the Jockey Costume and Gorilla Skyscraper Inflatable Costume are sized for a group to wear together.
Do you have to dress up for a bachelor or bachelorette party, or is a simple coordinated outfit enough?
A coordinated outfit is enough: skip the full costume and pick one color across everyone, or a shared accessory, and leave it there. Go head-to-toe when you want the photos to land or when the joke is the point of the night.
What should you wear across a bar crawl, a beach day and dinner on the same trip?
Whatever you choose, think about what you're managing across three different stops. A costume with a separate hat, veil or headpiece is one more thing to hand off or carry when you switch venues, so decide ahead of time who's holding what.
Is white reserved for the bride at a bachelorette party?
Traditionally yes: white goes to the bride and the rest of the group coordinates in another color or theme. It's a convention rather than a rule, so ask the bride if you're unsure. The Womens Bride Costume above is built for that guest-of-honor role.
What are good bachelor party costume ideas that aren't too extreme?
Color and pattern do most of the work here: the green and purple of the Jockey Costume, or the burgundy velvet and zebra trim of the Pimp Daddy suit.
What sizes do the bachelor and bachelorette costumes come in?
Sizing is set per costume, not across the lineup. The bachelor picks run from a two-size M/L option, through S to XL, to a Standard and Plus fit; the bachelorette picks run US 4-6 up to US 24-26. Check the range on each product page before you order: a satin dress that fits close needs a closer size match than an inflatable or a suit does.
