How to Throw the Ultimate Love Island-Themed Bachelorette Party

This post is all about the best ideas for a Love Island-Themed Bachelorette Party.

It’s that time of year again, Love Island is back! If you’re planning a bachelorette party your bride is obsessed with Love Island, then girl… we’ve got the ultimate party theme for you. Whether you’re the Maid of Honour, the sister, or just the type A friend who loves planning (hi, same), a Love Island-themed bachelorette party is the perfect mix of glitz, glam, and a FUN TIME.

And let’s be real — planning a bachelorette party is a lot. You want something unique, Instagram-worthy, and packed with great vibes. But you also want your bride to feel like they’re stepping straight into the Love Island villa wherever they are. That’s where I come in.

In this blog, I’m sharing everything you need to plan a bachelorette party that brings all the villa vibes – the kind that’ll have your girls saying “I’ve got a text!” and living their best bombshell lives.

We’ll cover custom invitations, decor, games, trip ideas, outfit inspo, and gifts that will have everyone feeling the love island vibe. Ready? Let’s get planning!

Invitations: “I’ve Got a Text!”

Set the tone from the start with custom invitations that bring the drama of that iconic Love Island intro. I love using Etsy for this — there are so many Love Island-themed party invite templates with a variety of digital sharing options so you can send them out over WhatsApp, email, or print them old-school.

I also love this Love Island digital Itinerary. Its a fun way to set the vibe and let your guests know the plan for the weekend. You can shop these from BrewmeDigital on Etsy.

Decor: Bring the Villa to You

Your venue — whether you’ve chosen a european villa, a cute Airbnb, your backyard, or even your living room — needs to feel like the girls have just walked straight into the Love Island Villa. The key? Bold colours, fun signage, and that love island vibe we have all grown to love.

So, here’s what I recommend to nail the look:

Fun Pool floats

I’m thinking inflatable flamingos, hearts, pink stripped rings! Perfect for pool party days, and will look 10/10 in the instagram photos. If you don’t have a pool venue, don’t worry! Dot the floats around your venue for a cute decorative look.

“The bride has entered the villa” sign

A simple, fun way to mark the bride’s arrival and kick off the bachelorette weekend. Perfect for setting the vibe and snapping a few cute arrival pics.

“To the beach” neon sign

Is it really a Love Island Villa without a host of cute neon signs. I love this ‘to the beach’ neon sign by … on Etsy.

Pink and orange tassel banners

This is a really affordable way to elevate your love island bach decor! I love these cute pink and orange tassle banners from Amazon. They add a fun vibe to any room.

Personalised white champagne flutes

This is iconic. All you need is some white plastic champagne flutes. Then grab these colored vinyl stickers from … on Etsy. Personalise them in bright colors with all your guests name, and stick them on the champagne flutes. Not only do they make cute decor, but it’s a fabulous gift for your guests to take home to remember the bachelorette of the year.

Bold tableware

Bold and bright is a must for a love island themed bachelorette. Think hot pink napkins, turquoise placemats, butter yellow plates and cute pink glasses. Don’t be afraid to mix and match colors! It wouldn’t be love island without a little bit of dramatic effect.

A DIY Love Island-themed cocktail station

If your bride loves a cocktail, this will be an absolute winner! Set up a DIY cocktail station. Use a gold bar cart, grab your favorite drinks, mixers, some cute garnishes and make sure you provide some gorgeous glasses for everyone to pour them in. You could even keep your cocktails love island themed. I’m thinking ‘my type of paper’, ‘muggy mojito’, and ‘the firepit fizz’.

Striped tassel umbrellas

This are SO on trend this year. I am obsessed! If you’ve got a pool area or garden area these will look super cute and a great way to level up your decor.

Set it up right and you’ve got the ultimate love island-themed hen party backdrop. Honestly, you might never want to leave.

Games & Activities

You have to bring in the games — it’s not Love Island without a little friendly competition. Here are some hilarious hen games that are totally villa-approved:

Mini Glam Station

What’s a love island bachelorette without a girls dressing room! Set up a cute corner or dressing room for hair touch-ups, lip gloss, dress try ons and lashes. Everyone loves a pre-party pamper! You c9uld even provide little beauty goodie bags for your guests.

“I’ve Got a Text!”

This is a must. Pre-write a load of cheeky texts (truths, dares, or love island-themed challenges) and randomly send them out throughout the day. “You’ve got a text – put a chilli in someones cocktail” or “Text: Tell us your wildest night out story”

Fire Pit Confessionals

Set up a mini fire pit, with marshmallows, s’mores, some cozy blankets and your fave tinnies! You could play a fun game where you read statements about things individuals the bachelorette party have done and the group have to guess who done it! Make them juicy!

Also, if you don’t have a firepit at your venue, I love this mini fire pit from Amazon. The perfect size for toasting your s’mores.

Villa Talent Show

I did this once at a hen and it was iconic. Just like in the Love Island Villa, get everyone to show their best or worst talents and the bride gets to pick her winner. Think lip-sync battles, comedy sketches, keyboard performances or a good old magic trick.

Love Island Movie Night – Mr & Mrs Edition

Turn one of the juiciest Love Island episodes into a fun game for your bride. What’s better than a classic game of “Mr & Mrs.” It’s heartfelt and hilarious. Record the grooms answers to questions about the bride and then get the bride to say her answers, roll the tapes and see how close their answers are! My maid of honor organised this for my own bachelorette and it’s one of the most memorable things from my weekend. I LOVED IT.

P.s don’t forget to add in some cozy matching PJs, popcorn buckets and your brides favorite goodies!

Outfits that Slay

Hot Girl Summer is here. Every day in the villa is a fashion moment, and your love island-themed party should be no different.

Bikini Pool Party Outfit

I’m obsessed with this cherry bikini set from Amazon! Super cute and fun. Plus there’s 10 fun colors to choose from.

Glitz & Glam Night

This is your “recoupling” outfit moment. Think sequins, sparkle, and full glam makeup. I love this green sheer 2 piece outfit from Amazon. It’s giving me such love island vibe and comes in some gorgeous color combos.

Matching PJs

Perfect for a chilled night in or the morning-after brekkie. I’m obsessed with these pink and white striped pjs from Amazon. The frilly shorts are everything!

Group Tees

Is it really a bachelorette without custom t-shirts? But don’t worry, they don’t have to be tacky! I am obsessed with these tee’s from MelMcKennaDesigns on Etsy. There’s also 30 colors to choose from so you can get one that matches your theme. They are such good quality too!

Gifts They’ll Love

Treat your bride tribe to goodies that are as cute as they are useful. These are perfect as arrival gifts, favors, or part of a hangover kit.

Here are my some of my fave ideas:

Personalised water bottles

This screams Love Island Villa. These custom water bottles from UK Graffid on Etsy are perfect for hydrating between cocktails. I got my guests matching water bottles for my bachelorette and most of them still use the bottles today!

Custom Towels

This is a cute way to get everyone matching by the pool. Perfect if you’re hosting a pool party day. I love these custom towels from Amazon.

Colourful heart sunglasses

This is a fun but affordable way to add a bit of love island vibe to the bachelorette. You can grab a bunch of these fun sunglasses here on Amazon.

Personalised tote bags – ideal for packing villa essentials

Tote bags are always a good idea! I love a gift that is useful AND cute. I’m obsessed with these customized totes by Seven Gift Art on Etsy. You can get them personalized with each guests initials for a personal touch.

Colourful makeup bags

How cute are these colorful makeup bags. Perfect for all the makeup essentials. You could even fill with holiday essentials like lip balm, paracetamol, and mini fans.

Sun cream

Pop little sun creams in their welcome bags. Definitely a Love Island necessity.

Personalised luggage tags

I got these at a bachelorette one time and I thought it was genius, I still use mine today! I love these pink personalized luggage tags from Amazon. It’s a really thoughtful gift that your guests will actually use again. A cute momento from your trip.

These little touches take things from standard to next level. It’s all in the details.

Finally,

After reading this, I hope you’re feeling like the ultimate bombshell party planner. Whether it’s setting the scene with those “I’ve got a text” signs, laughing over fire pit confessionals, or rocking a sequin two-piece for glitz & glam night, your ultimate love island-themed bachelorette party is about to be a real life highlight.

Just remember: it’s all about good vibes, great friends, and celebrating the bride in the most extra way possible. I hope you have the best time!
