LGBTQ+ Guide to Bachelorette Parties

Honoring love in all its forms means recognizing and respecting how diverse the human experience can be. It’s important that we embrace the unique connections we share with our partners, our family, and our friends. Any tradition can be adapted, so when it comes to planning the perfect LGBTQ+ bachelorette party, BATCH is here to help!

The Evolution of LGBTQ+ Pre-Wedding Celebrations

Every partnership deserves to celebrate love. As society becomes more accepting of LGBTQ+ individuals and relationships, the traditions surrounding pre-wedding celebrations have also evolved. For example, the concept of a "bachelorette party" may feel too old-fashioned. No worries! You can phone your celebration anything you want.

Some ideas to consider:

  • Batch Party
  • Bachelorx
  • Wedding Eve
  • One Last Bash
  • Pre-Game Party
  • Anything that sounds fun!

Personalization is key. You want your loved ones to feel special, but it’s also important to respect their journey and identity. One way to do this is by customizing the party to reflect the couple

  • Gabby Windey has married comedian Robby Hoffman.
  • Windey is part of a growing list of LGBTQ+ members of Bachelor Nation.
  • Colton Underwood, Jasmine Goode, and Becca Tilley contain identified as part of the queer community.

Gabby Windey, a former "Bachelorette" guide, announced on Wednesday that she and her partner, Robby Hoffman, got married in Las Vegas earlier in the year.

Windey came out as queer in August during an appearance on "The View." Since then, she's been dating Hoffman, a comedian — and in March , they revealed to Cosmopolitan that they'd eloped in Vegas after evacuating from the Los Angeles fires.

After starring on "The Bachelorette," Windey has become a breakout star of reality TV. She was the runner-up of season 31 of "Dancing with the Stars" and made it to the finale of the third season of "The Traitors." S

I feel I must confess: I am not a member of Bachelor Nation. I have many friends who are in this community and consider myself an ally to it. Once, I watched an episode of The Bachelorette with a bunch of queer people and was shocked by how much queer subtext it contained but then was informed it wasn&#;t typical for there to be two Bachelorettes at once, which was a bummer to me personally because that dynamic was so fascinating!!!!! But recently, I was introduced to Jasmine Goode, a former Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise contestant who now appears on the Bravo series The Valley and who is bisexual. I knew about Becca Tilley already, of course. I decided to investigate just how many queer women have been a part of the often aggressively hetero world of The Bachelor and its various spinoffs. By expanding it to include international versions of the franchise, I was really able to grow this list!
