Planning a Hen Party? How to Get the Party Started
Top Bachelorette Hangover Kit Ideas for the Bride Tribe
Nothing says “squad goals” like a killer Bachelorette Hangover Kit to save the bride tribe. After covering countless bachelorette parties as a wedding blogger (and honorary bridesmaid for my best friends), I can tell you that a well-stocked hangover kit can turn an “I’m never drinking again” morning into an “I’m ready for brunch” rally. With each event, I’ve seen firsthand how thoughtful hangover kits bring a touch of TLC to the morning after. So as part of Bespoke Bride’s bridal shower tips, here’s my curated list of what you actually want in a bachelorette hangover kit, plus why each item is a lifeline for your beloved bride tribe.
Hydration Heroes, Pain Relief, and My Favorite Hangover Essential: Huggs
Every Bachelorette Hangover Kit needs hydration heroes. Champagne and tequila shots can hit hard, and without proper hydration, the after-effects can feel like you’ve been hit by a party truck. I always recommend including electrolyte powder packets, mini bottles of Pedialyte, or coconut water. These aren’t just post-night-out fixes; they’re practically bachelorette weekend insurance.
Another must for any bachelorette hangover kit? Ibuprofen. These little tablets are the difference between rolling out of bed for brunch or just rolling over with a groan. There’s a funny story from a friend’s bachelorette where someone labeled the ibuprofen “morning miracles,” and we were all praising those little miracle pills by 9 a.m.
But my personal favorite in the Bachelorette Hangover Kit lineup has to be the Huggs hangover hugg cap. After chilling it in the freezer, this stylish cap soothes with cooling compression and feels like a hug for your forehead, especially when your head is pounding from the night before.

Huggs comes in playful slogans like “I am unwell,” “Down bad,” and “Everything hurts”—or you can personalize them with your own message like “#BrideBrain” or a funny inside joke. Huggs has become a staple for bachelorette and bachelor parties because of its perfect mix of functionality and fun style. You can grab them on their website www.wearehuggs.com, and check them out on Instagram if you’re planning your own kit—and trust me, it’s a game-changer.

The Freshen-Up Must-Haves
Bachelorette weekends are packed, and mornings can be rough, but no one wants to look like they barely slept (even if we all did). For that reason, every Bachelorette Hangover Kit needs freshen-up essentials. A mini toothbrush kit and mouthwash are godsends, especially when your memory of packing one is hazy. Face wipes are another must; they’re basically a lifeline after wearing party makeup for hours.
And under-eye masks? They’re the heroes of morning-after recovery. I once attended a bachelorette party where we all wore matching eye masks while sipping coffee in our PJs—if that’s not peak bride squad unity, I don’t know what is. Pair that with a travel-size facial mist for a quick refresh, and everyone’s ready to hit the road for brunch.
And let’s not forget dry shampoo, a kit essential that should never be overlooked. Those little bottles are a lifesaver, turning bedhead into brunch-ready in minutes.
Cozy Comforts for Morning-After Recovery
Now, onto comfort. For those mornings when getting out of bed feels like a distant dream, a Bachelorette Hangover Kit filled with cozy essentials makes all the difference. Soft, fuzzy socks, eye masks, and a cozy blanket scarf can take a night-after from survival mode to a lounge-worthy experience. Think of these items as a gentle “we made it through” reminder.
For an extra layer of comfort, add a touch of aromatherapy. I’ve started including small, rollerball essential oils in kits, and they’ve become surprisingly popular. Lavender and peppermint are perfect for easing headaches and adding a spa-like feel to the morning recovery. It’s a small touch, but it can make everyone feel a little pampered.

Fun Extras That Add Personality
Now for the fun stuff! Those little extras give your bachelorette hangover kit personality and make it social-media-worthy. Sassy sunglasses, for example, are not only handy for hiding tired eyes, but they’re also great photo props. Grab a few pairs in fun colors or cute shapes to match the theme of the party. Custom water bottles are another fantastic choice; nothing says “bride tribe” like matching water bottles labeled with everyone’s name or a hilarious inside joke from the night before.
You could also throw in mini photo props with messages like “I survived the bride’s big night!” or “Hangover hero reporting for duty.” They’re hilarious and will be all over Instagram by the end of brunch. You can check out our printable bridal shower photo props.
Special Touches Just for the Bride
And let’s not forget, no Bachelorette Hangover Kit would be complete without a few special touches for the guest of honor. For a little extra fun, include a mini bottle of champagne or sparkling wine with a personalized label like “Bride’s Recovery Juice” or “Survived the Bride Tribe Bash.” It’s a fun way to add a little sparkle to her morning (hydration in hand, of course!).
Every bride deserves a little extra pampering, so think about adding a satin sleep mask or a “Recovery Queen” sash. Adding a personal note is another sweet gesture that makes a big impact. Whether you go heartfelt or funny, it’s a thoughtful way to remind her that she’s loved and supported.
Putting It All Together
When it comes to presentation, the packaging of your Bachelorette Hangover Kit should feel as special as the items inside. Clear bags tied with ribbon or personalized boxes matching the party theme work perfectly. For a beach-themed bachelorette, we once packed the hangover kits in mini beach bags with seashell stickers, and they were an instant hit.
Putting together a Bachelorette Hangover Kit isn’t just about the practical items; it’s a way of saying, “We’re in this together.” After all, a bachelorette weekend is about celebrating love, friendship, and a little bit of mischief. And as much as we may laugh about the hangovers, it’s the little recovery moments—like sipping coconut water in matching socks or swapping under-eye patches for selfies—that make the weekend unforgettable.
