Invitations

Prepare your friends in advance for the bachelorette party to be themed. When composing the text of the invitation, do not forget to indicate the style of the party and the dress code. Pin-up style attributes can also be used when designing invitations.

Use a mid-century cover girl look . Choose an illustration of a mischievous girl whose outfit best matches your ideas about the Pin Up style.
An invitation in the form of a piquant accessory. This can be a corset or underwear , artistically designed in the appropriate style.
Bright sweets would also be appropriate on the cover of the invitation : large multi-colored lollipops, cupcakes, ice cream.

Suits

Just choose any image you like! After all, all the details are visible in the photos and pictures - you don’t need to rack your brains for a long time about what to wear. If the party is Pin-up style:

will take place in the countryside/nature, wear jeans or denim shorts and a plaid shirt tied in a knot just under the chest. Or a dress to the middle of the knee with a wide skirt in a loose fold;

On the beach, of course, a swimsuit would be appropriate. Retro, high-waisted or solid, not too revealing, polka dots/stripes or just bright;

in a cafe/restaurant. The same recognizable dresses with wide bottoms, but more festive. Or a “case” that fits a seductive figure.

Don't forget about a retro hairstyle and accessories: a flower in your hair or a scarf, beads, cat glasses. Makeup: red lipstick, clear eyeliner, neatly drawn eyebrows. Mid-heeled shoes, stockings or tights with arrows.

But clothing for men raises more questions - there is nowhere to look, because the Pin up style is purely feminine. Although photos of men from the 50s are suitable as an example. The classic option is trousers, a shirt, a hat, suspenders and a striped tie in the color of the companion’s dress. Or the model-looking “hard worker” from the cover: jeans and a T-shirt, sneakers, a scarf around his neck.

During the war years, cards with somewhat frivolous images were popular among soldiers. This is how a new Pin-up direction appeared - drawings and photos of girls in stylized uniforms of land and naval forces. This look is also suitable for a party.

Where to spend it?

Despite its originality, the pin-up style is quite democratic, so you can hold a bachelorette party in its spirit almost anywhere. The exception, perhaps, will be saunas and spas, where perfect makeup and unusual outfits will be of no use. Where is the best place to go?

A park . Pin-up style images look very rich against the backdrop of nature. A photo session during a picnic or a walk in the park will be unforgettable, and the pictures will delight you with their quality and bright colors.
Beach . In the summer, if the weather is good, you can sit on the beach and have an unusual photo shoot in retro swimsuits. Remember that the pin-up style does not tolerate debauchery and vulgarity. Swimwear can be closed or open, but with a high waist; plain or colored, with a catchy print, for example, polka dots, flowers or stripes.
A cafe, restaurant, club are suitable for a party in the cool season. For a bachelorette party in pin-up style, you should carefully select the venue so that it does not turn out that its design is completely inconsistent with the theme of your event.

Pin up party

Hello to all brides! I got around to writing a report about my bachelorette party) I wanted to say thank you to all the girls who are not lazy to do this, because thanks to your reports I was able to make my bachelorette party the way I dreamed) With competitions, surprises, etc. So, let's begin) There are two weeks left before the wedding... Excitement, anxiety... But most importantly, happiness and anticipation of a joyful day) In anticipation of preparing for the wedding, I could not deny myself the pleasure of spending the last days of my single life with my girls) I will say right away that I prepared the bachelorette party myself... I don’t know if this is right or wrong, but since I work as a teacher-organizer and organizing something is in my blood, I didn’t want to entrust this to my friends...)) I wanted to make a holiday not only for myself, but and for them) Although, my girlfriends are also great and prepared a great surprise for me) So, the idea of organizing a bachelorette party in the Pin Up style popped into my head right away... I really love pictures depicting pin-up girls, I always wanted to try on such an image and decided to make my dream come true at bachelorette party... Before that, the girls and I spent a long time choosing outfits, makeup, hairstyles, and this is what we got) I’m the one in the denim overalls))

Our bachelorette party consisted of three parts: 1. Picnic in nature. 2. Walk along Manezhnaya Square and perform competitions. 3. Break at the Rock and Roll bar. I’ll try to describe a little each part of the bachelorette party) Maybe someone will find it useful or interesting to read) It all started with a picnic in nature. In order to recreate the pin-up atmosphere, I prepared a lot of attributes: paper pom-poms, pink and blue pillows on which we sat, I made cups for the girls with images of pin-up girls (these cups were my gift for friends), and even place cards with the names and images of her friends))) and also took a watering can with flowers and two flowerpots)) Why, I don’t know)) They just put them on the table, it turned out fun) And I also made a “Bachelorette Party” sign from the board) If it’s useful to anyone , I can lend you) Our clearing looked like this:

At the picnic everything was quite civilized)) We drank champagne, ate salads, canapes, freaked out, took pictures, had pillow fights)

The girls prepared two surprises for me) The first was for me to choose one envelope for each of the five pairs of panties) The panties were different: drawstrings, thongs, shorts, scary parachute panties, etc. Then I opened the envelope and it was written what wedding anniversary I would have to spend in these panties) It was funny) And then they gave me a box) It was full of very necessary things: chewing gum, anti-policeman (very useful in the morning), stockings, a bottle cognac, etc. Each item had a piece of paper attached to it, which told me why it would be useful to me) For example: “If you start to fall, you will tear your stockings!” Put on new ones and light them again") The coolest thing was the map in case I got lost)) It indicated two paths: to BM and to friends)) In case of trouble, these two paths will lead me to those who will always help)) I actually shed tears) The girls prepared some fun things for me) I also prepared a few competitions for them) First there was an initiation into witnessing, where my best friend read out an oath of allegiance to me and my interests)) It was fun)) Especially where she she vowed to always support only me in everything (it’s just that in many cases she supports her husband)))

And of course, competitions with photos))) Thanks to the girls who post such ideas)) They helped me a lot) I also prepared these for my girlfriends)) I gave each friend a letter with a task that they had to complete. So the tasks: 1. Take a photo with different men (there was a brunette, a black man, a group of tourists and twins, it seems) 2. Take a photo with the man of your dreams and with the one you will never look at) 3. Offer to marry you. 4. Persuade him to marry you. 5. Find 4 condoms and distribute three of them. My girls, to put it mildly, were shocked... They didn’t expect it at all)) Therefore, on the way to Manezhka I had to drink another bottle of champagne)

But we managed to pass most of the competitions)) The coolest thing was to find the condoms) I don’t understand, do men really not carry this with them or do they feel sorry??)) But in the end, my super-duper friend found all four)

So, after completing the most difficult competitions, we went to the bar)) We chose a themed bar) Rock and Roll))) And there we had a blast)

But my soul wanted more and from there we went to the 1920 bar, where we danced on the bar counters until the morning)) This is how fun and relaxed we celebrated my farewell to single life) and on Saturday I will be a wife))) uhhh))

Creating a Pin-Up look for a bachelorette party

Makeup and hairstyle

Bright scarlet lips, long eyelashes and glamorous eyeliner are all you need to seduce guys this evening. You can get together with your girlfriends at home, do each other’s makeup and hair, or you can go to a beauty salon together, where your bachelorette party will begin.

To do a Pin-Up

at home, it will take a lot of time and money to install. The bangs can be dried with a hairdryer and a sconce comb, laid in a tube and fixed with varnish. Roller bangs will also be relevant. The rest of the hair should be combed back, pulled up or curled into large curls.

Outfit

Pin-Up style

Famous actresses and movie stars of the time (Marilyn Monroe, Betty Grable and Rita Hayworth) dressed up. Today, this style is supported in their images by singers and Hollywood celebrities (Katy Perry, Dita von Thys, Scarlett Johansson). Let us follow their example and create the image of a sexy dream girl.

For this, we will go with baby-doll style dresses, with bright prints and turned-down collars, sun skirts, shorts, breeches and high-waisted shorts in bright colors.

Dresses and sundresses can be short or knee-length, fluffy and tight-fitting, polka dot, floral or striped. The main thing is that they should be bright and highlight all the charms of your figure.

It is worth noting that pin-up is closely intertwined with retro style; it contains many things that emphasize femininity. Add a bodysuit or corset with a deep neckline to your outfit; if you choose shorts, wear high socks; if you choose a dress, you need stockings that will playfully peek out from under the skirt. Complete the look with patent high-heeled sandals, pumps or ballet flats.
