Harry Potter was created some 20 something years ago and still stands as a wildly popular series today. Muggles and wizards alike take joy in the books, movies, theme park attractions, games, and party themes that the Harry Potter series has provided. If you have a wizard-loving bride-to-be in your life, this article is for you!

A Harry Potter-themed bachelorette party can be planned so many different ways. You can plan a booze-filled marathon movie and game night, host a Harry Potter bachelorette party at a nearby venue, or plan a getaway trip to a magical destination.

Harry Potter Bachelorette Party Invitations

To begin a truly magical adventure, start with some Harry Potter Bachelorette party invitations! Whether they’re themed with Harry, Hermione, and Ron, displaying elixirs and potions, or showcasing the beauty of Hogwarts, there’s a wide variety to choose from.

Invitation Types

There’s two types of bachelorette party invitations you will come across: pre-made invitations and downloadable template options.

Pre-made invitations are your standard, already-made paper invitations you would purchase from Amazon, Minted, Walmart, etc. If you’re choosing a Harry Potter theme, you would essentially be purchasing your chosen invitations to be shipped straight to your door.

This is the easiest and most convenient option, but it can be a little more expensive since you are paying for each invitation. Pre-made invitations typically range from $1.50 - $3.00 per invitation.

Downloadable templates are more customizable and more affordable, but they are a little bit more work. You simply find a design you love, fill in the information for the bachelorette party, and download the template. These templates can typically be purchased for $4 - $10, but you can use it as many times as you please.

Then you simply buy some affordable plain card stock and have a nearby company create the invitations for you. With downloadable templates, you are getting more customizable options and typically receiving a significantly better price, but it is a little more work to execute the invitations to completion.

Creative Wording for Harry Potter Bachelorette Invitations

There’s numerous Harry Potter quotes and puns you can utilize for the perfect bachelorette invitations. Adding some fun wording will get attendees inspired to dress for the occasion and celebrate the theme of the party. To add some fun wording to your invitations, consider some lines like:

  • We are pleased to inform you that you have been invited to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for the celebration of (name’s) bachelorette party.

  • Calling all Witches and Wizards - join us for a magical celebration of (name’s) bachelorette party.

  • You are invited to a magical celebration! Join us for (name’s) bachelorette party.

  • You are the Chosen One - your presence is requested at (name’s) bachelorette party.

  • A magical day is on the way! Join us for (name’s) bachelorette party.

  • Attention Witches and Wizards: a bachelorette party is on the horizon.

  • This Witch is getting hitched! Celebrate with (name) at her bachelorette party on (day) at (time).

  • She found her keeper! Join us for a bachelorette party celebrating (name).

Seal Your Invitations with a Wax Seal

Fore even more authenticity, seal the invitation envelopes with a wax seal. All you would need is a stick or two of wax in your color choice and a seal stamper. Invitations sealed with wax can be sent through the mail like any ordinary piece of mail, so don’t be afraid to add a little something extra.

 

Bachelorette Party Activities

If you’re planning a Harry Potter bachelorette party, you’ve got lots of options. You can plan the party around Harry Potter activities, like a movie marathon. Or you could plan a spa day or a night out, that just happens to have magical, or witch themed games and decorations.

When you’re planning a bachelorette party, choose an activity for the main event, then add a few games or activities around it. Talk to the bride to find out what kind of a party she’d like the most.

If she wants a night out, you can plan a club night with a scavenger hunt and matching t-shirts. If she’d rather stay in, you can plan a dinner party or a movie marathon bachelorette.

When you’re planning your activities and itinerary, try not to over schedule. Remember to leave some open time for hanging around or being spontaneous. Make time for the main event, and plan meals and snacks. 

Add some activities around the main event, to make sure it doesn’t get boring. It’s ok to let the rest of the party play out without having a schedule for each minute.

  • Club night

  • Scavenger hunt

  • Escape room

  • Movie marathon

  • Game night

  • Slumber party

  • Pool party

  • Dinner party

  • Cooking class

  • Wine tasting

  • Spa day

  • Yoga class

  • Brunch

  • Picnic

  • Hiking

Harry Potter Movie Marathon Bachelorette

A movie marathon bachelorette is perfect for everyone because the plan is so flexible. Depending on your budget, you can have a slumber party at home. Or you can organize a rental apartment or hotel suite, with room for everyone.

If you’ve got a kitchen, you can plan to cook, or order dinner. If you’d rather, you can all head out for dinner and a few drinks. Then start the movie marathon afterwards.

If you’ve got enough time, you can even plan some games or activities between the movies. Add a Honeydukes candy bar for snacking and you’ll have a perfect bachelorette party.

Magical Dinner Party For an At Home Bachelorette

If you’re looking for a low key party, but want to do more than watch movies, a dinner party can be lots of fun. Especially if you’re all cooking a themed meal together. 

Start by renting or borrowing a big kitchen. Order The Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook from Amazon, and plan the menu. It’s got recipes for everything from Aunt Petunia’s pork roast to Knickerbocker Glory. The guests can pitch in to buy the groceries. Then spend the night cooking and eating together.

Wizard School Themed Scavenger Hunt

If you want to plan a night on the town, scavenger hunts are always popular. If you’ve got a small group, you can work together to complete the list. Or, if there’s enough people in your party, you can split into teams. For extra fun, give each team their own t-shirts, in their house colors.
