How To Host An Epic Bachelor Viewing Party
Will you accept this rose?
I am not typically one for reality TV, but ABC’s The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, and Bachelor in Paradise hold a special place in my reality TV heart. So, if you also love to indulge in this guilty pleasure like myself and enjoy hosting parties, you should seriously consider hosting a bachelor viewing party!
I personally love to host them for both the premiere and the finale, and the best part is that once you invest in the decor you can continue to use and reuse it for future viewing parties!
I recently hosted a huge Bachelor Finale party for Peter Weber’s season, and went ALL out! I tried to go on Pinterest and find inspo for the party, but was surprised to see there was not much on there. So, hopefully if you are looking to host your own party and have no idea where to being when it comes to decor, food, and drinks … I’ve got you covered!
As I mentioned earlier, most of the decor you invest in (which is not too much as I got it on Amazon) can be used over and over again for future viewing parties!

If you are looking to go all out like I did and you happen to live in Chicago, there is an amazing decor company called Paris312. Not only do they have an amazing space available for you to rent out to host parties (which would include using all the amazing decor they offer), but they also offer delivery AND setup for your events! So, since I wanted to make this finale party really special, I worked with Paris312 and they were able to deliver and setup custom Bachelor themed balloons (including a massive heart balloon with tassels saying “Final Rose”). If you are hosting a bachelor viewing party (or any other party) I can’t recommend Paris312 enough… Their decor truly took my party to the next level.

food & drink
Let’s start with the drinks, because they are pretty straight forward & it wouldn’t be a bachelor viewing part with out some Rosé .
Some of my absolute favorite (not to mention cute & portable) wine is BABE Wine — Make sure to check out their website for store locators that carry it near you!
To go along with our wine, we had custom Bachelor themed wine glasses made by Hamagi — You can choose what saying you want as well as the type of glitter!
Other drinks we had (in addition to lots of Trader Joe’s wine) were sparkling water from Bubblr (which is non-alcoholic) and some Bravazzi (hard Italian Soda).
For food I had some of my absolute favorite popcorn EVER from Sweet Chaos (you can use code Suzie20 for 20% off). I of course had chips, veggies, and dips. However to try in keep with the “bachelor” theme, I also made bruschetta, heart shaped sugar cookies, pink frosted cupcakes with roses on top, chocolate covered strawberries (heart shaped), and pizza roses.
