First Question: Clean or Dirty? We say: Go Clean! While convincing your friend to wear the Penis Veil may sound like a good idea, you'll both have more fun playing games, sharing stories, and even drinking while the bachelorette wears an elegant, refined veil. Besides, anything with condoms or flashing peckers on the bachelorette’s head will just make her look tacky. The only time to buy a dirty veil for your friend is when you’re seeking revenge for the time she made you wear one. So, we suggest you choose a clean, simple veil, or buy two--a classic white veil for the sober bachelorette, and a bad girl veil for the bachelorette after she’s had a few drinks. Second Question: What Makes a Top-Quality Veil? We say: The Materials. The first thing that makes a top-quality veil is the amount and type of material. Tulle (pronounced “Tool”) is the material used for all of the veils that we sell on Bachelorette.com. Tulle is a net of material that can be fine or coarse. Finer tulle looks much lighter and flows better than coarser tulle. Coarser tulle resembles white fishnet. Finer bridal veils are made from cotton or silk tulle while the inexpensive veils we sell are always made from nylon. Third Question: What To Wear? We say: Besides bachelorette party veils, Bachelorette.com also sells tiaras, headbands, hats, and even devil horns. So what should you purchase for your friend? We suggest a veil or tiara. It is actually possible that she can wear both. Many veils attach using a barrette and clip to the back of her hair while the tiara can be worn around the front of her head. Here are some of our favorites and why: The Standard Bachelorette Party Veil: This veil is made with 1 full yard of fine tulle. It uses a simple barrette attachment and looks sophisticated. This veil is very reasonably priced. A big improvement upon our previous model, any bride-to-be will appreciate this standard bachelorette party veil. The Bride & Groom Veil: This veil is made of the finest tulle of any of the veils we sell. It uses a full yard of tulle and is quite poofy. Much of the fabric flows outward. It is a headband style veil, so it fits differently than the barrette style, preventing her from wearing a tiara as well. The headband has little flowers and a miniature bride and groom on top. A unique item, this veil is perfect for any bachelorette party or bridal shower. The Bachelorette Tiara: One of Bachelorette.com’s most popular items, the silver Bachelorette Tiara will make any bride-to-be feel like a princess. This tiara is metal and feels like a true tiara, but it doesn't sparkle very well. Based on sales, we can say that the Bachelorette Tiara will be a huge hit. The Flashing Tiara: This attention-grabbing tiara is less expensive than the Bachelorette Tiara. One drawback is that it is made of plastic, so it feels a little bit like a piece of dress up clothing. The lights are a fun accessory and the feather trim gives this tiara a “diva” feel. The bachelorette should be the center of attention, and the Flashing Tiara will keep her in the middle of her crazy celebration. Here are items we don't like and why: The Condom Veil - Slimy & Gross This veil is gross. It is just a cheap veil made from coarse tulle and thrown into a bag with a few colored condoms. The condoms have goo on them, so when you try to pin them to the veil, they get all nasty. We’re not sure who thought up the design behind this veil, but we wish they had done a better job. Yuck. The Red Sequin Tiara - Poor Quality This tiara is made by the people who make the Miss Bachelorette Sash. While we like the sash, the tiara is made of cardboard and isn't very impressive. However, the two items do match, so if you want to get a set of bachelorette attire, the Red Sequin Tiara might be the way to go. The Deluxe Tiara - Ugly This tiara has a bunch of useless junk glued to it. The condoms, alka seltzer, and other items are extremely gaudy. It is borderline horrible, but useful if you owe the bride-to-be some embarrassment. Here are some items that are O.K., but not fabulous: The Princess Hat - Inexpensive, but childlike. The Feather Tiara - Kind of plain Light-up Devil Horns - Can be funny but requires batteries. The Pecker Party Veil - Has penises on it. If you need revenge, make her wear this. If you want to keep a friend, choose a different veil. The Veil Headband - This little headband may not fit everyone, but it is classy. |
