In my professional Potterhead opinion, the one thing that was missing from Deathly Hallows was the scene where Fleur, Gabrielle, Ginny, Hermione, and Tonks all just got butterbeer turnt the day before the wedding. After all, who wouldn't want to live out the Harry Potter bachelorette party dream? In their defense, I guess Voldemort was terrorizing the entire magical population, and they were just a tad worried that they were all going to get surprise murdered at any moment. (Excuses, excuses.) So it's pretty much on us to do what they could not, and theme our own bachelorette parties to be so aggressively magical that it makes up for all the fun they missed out on.
The good news is that it's surprisingly easy in the Muggle world to make these shenanigans happen. I mean, if we already have such artfully done Harry Potter weddings and Harry Potter wedding vows, why wouldn't we have the bachelorette parties to match? And don't even try to tell me that this wouldn't be the most epic throwdown since the Yule Ball, y'all. If you're ready to get on my level, then here are all the things you'll need to have the best bachelorette party of all time:

~~~DRINKING GAMES~~~
I feel like this would work best with the third movie, because for some reason there was a bunch more #sass in that one than all the others, and also it is the least likely to make you drunkenly tailspin into tears on your SPECIAL DAY.
