Hey party people!
What is that one show for you?
The one that you may be a tad embarrassed to tell people you love it…but you love to watch?
For me, it’s The Bachelorette/Bachelor. My sister & I get together every Monday night to watch it. We love speculating who is going to get a rose & who will be sent home. We love laughing at some of the crazy things people do or say. We love trying to analyze the love connections, or lack thereof.
I know the whole thing is a little far-fetched: Dating multiple people at once, under the pretense that you’ll meet the one you should be with for the rest of your life…all in a few weeks. Maybe not realistic but..man, it is fun to watch.
Of course, what better way to get a group of girls together than to throw a Bachelorette Viewing party!
It really doesn’t take much to put together a Bachelorette viewing party!
Just make sure you have…
Roses…
…and candles.
Pretty simple, huh?
I dug out all of my candles & set them all around our TV.
If you’ve ever watched The Bachelorette/Bachelor, you’ll know that during every rose ceremony there are always a gazillion candles.
My set-up pales in comparison, but it did create a fun Bachelorette/Bachelor vibe.
You can barely see it in the photo above, but I laid one red rose on a silver tray in front of the TV.
Besides the roses & candles, we decided to serve some fondue for our little party.
Before I show you the rest of the set-up, here’s the invitation we sent out.
It was meant to resemble a “date card” from the show.
I printed out a few more “date cards” to use as labels.
These were for the two types of fondue we served: cheese & chocolate.
The spread was really easy to set up. I used 2 black tablecloths I already had and stuffed a few boxes underneath to give some height.
The dippers were situated on various serving plates around the fondue.
And of course…we served a little wine.
Not that you’d need additional entertainment while watching the Bachelorette (there have been some cray-cray guys on this season), but I thought I’d create a little Bachelorette Bingo game.
It actually was really fun!
If you’d like to have your own Bachelorette viewing party, you can print these bingo cards out for the finale here -

Each sheet has two bingo cards with a different arrangement of phrases & situations to look for.
I also created these simple “date card” templates you can use as labels or invitations.

Well, I never thought I’d say this…but I didn’t really want to see any more chocolate after last night! It was so delicious but I ate more than my fill.
So…do you have any shows that you love to watch that would be fun to throw a little viewing party for?
Stay tuned for a refreshing & yummy recipe this Friday!
p.s. This is YOUR official invite to the party… join in on the Parties for Pennies Facebook page, Twitter, and Pinterest!
