For a bride who loves to sing, dance, and party all night, a Mamma Mia Bachelorette Party is the perfect theme to plan around. This theme allows for many options – disco, beach, karaoke, and many more.
There are many different options for throwing a Mamma Mia themed party, so read on to get some ideas!
Location
Local
To start, you’ll need to choose a venue for your party. If you’re planning on having a large group, you may want to consider renting out a hall or banquet room. For a smaller party, you could host the event at a restaurant or bar that has a private room.
If you’re looking for a restaurant that will fit your Mamma Mia bachelorette party perfectly, consider one with a Greek theme.
These restaurants often have private rooms that can be rented out for special occasions, and they often have live music and dancing. They’re also a great option if you’re looking for a festive atmosphere with lots of color and decoration.
Destination
If you’re looking for a warm location for your Mamma Mia themed bachelorette party, consider a beach type destination girls trip. The following are suggested beach locations that would be perfect for a Mamma Mia party.
Myrtle Beach. This city is home to hundreds of miles of beautiful beaches, and it’s also home to plenty of restaurants and bars that can accommodate a large group. Myrtle Beach is also known for its lively nightlife, so you’ll have no trouble finding a place to party after the sun goes down.
Miami. Miami is another great option for a beach destination bachelorette party. This city has everything you need for a fun and memorable party, including plenty of restaurants and bars, a lively nightlife scene, and of course, beautiful beaches.
Captiva Island, Florida: Captiva Island is a small island off the coast of Florida that’s known for its beautiful beaches and luxurious resorts. If you’re looking more for a relaxing getaway spot for your girls trip, Captiva Island is a great choice.
Virginia Beach, Virginia: Virginia Beach is a large beach town that offers something for everyone. This beach has miles of coastline to explore, as well as plenty of bars and restaurants nearby. If the group is more on the adventurous side, It’s also home to some of the best fishing in the country, so bring your tackle box!
Catalina Island. If you’re looking for a scenic and secluded location for your Mamma Mia-themed bachelorette party, consider visiting Catalina Island. This small island off the coast of California is perfect for a relaxing getaway, and it’s home to some of the best diving in the country. Catalina Island is also known for its beautiful beaches and lush vegetation, so you’ll feel like you’re on a tropical vacation.
Invitations
If you’re looking for a quick and easy way to find Mamma Mia themed invitations, try searching for “Mamma Mia party invitations” online. There are many websites that offer free printable invitations, such as Etsy, Paperless Post, or Evite.
Be sure to include all of the important information on the invitations, such as the date, time, and location of the party. You may also want to include a theme song or two to get your guests in the mood for some singing and dancing. (Hint: ABBA!)
Decorations
When it comes to decorations, there are a few key elements you’ll want to include for any type of bachelorette party.
First, be sure to hang up some sparkly banners that say “Bride-to-Be” or “Bachelorette Party”. A few fun options for banners include captions such as “Last Disco” or “Last Dance”.
You’ll also want to decorate with plenty of pink and gold streamers, balloons, and confetti. And of course, no Mamma Mia themed party would be complete without some ABBA posters or album covers hanging on the walls.
If leaning towards a disco themed Mamma Mia Bachelorette Party, hang up some shimmering gold and silver streamers, cover the floor with metallic confetti, and fill the room with disco balls and mirror tiles.
You can also put together a photo booth backdrop with some funky 70s props, like oversized glasses and wigs. And don’t forget the music! Play classic disco hits all night long to get your guests in the mood for some dancing.
Additional Decoration Options:
Outfits
When it comes to picking out outfits for a Mamma Mia themed bachelorette party, there are a few key things to keep in mind.
First, be sure to choose colors that coordinate with the theme – lots of blue, pink and gold.
Although there are many casual summer looks that can be copied from the Mamma Mia movie, we suggest going all out on disco-themed outfits!
Go with full 70s glamour style and opt for shiny fabrics, lots of sequins and fringe, and big hair bows. Don’t forget the platform shoes and glittery eye makeup!

For a matching group option, consider purchasing group shirts (with a stand-out option for the bride), as well as having everyone wear sashes to go out. A few of our favorite group shirt options are below:
Food and Drink
When it comes to food and drink for your Mamma Mia themed bachelorette party, you can either go with a traditional Greek-themed menu, or go with a more modern disco twist.
If you want to stick with a Greek theme, start with charcuterie-style appetizers such as pitas, olives, hummus, and tzatziki. For larger courses serve up some delicious gyros or dolma wraps, moussaka, and spanakopita.
For dessert, a baklava, or even cupcakes decorated in Mamma Mia theme colors would work perfectly.

Some fun drink options include traditional Greek drinks made with Ouzo and Metaxa. There are various different Greek cocktails that can be made with these spirits, including Jelly Bean Martini, Greek Mati, Greek Style Bloody Mary, Roaring Tiger, or Ouzo Slush.

Disco themed party drinks and food can be just as fun and festive as the rest of your party!
Try serving some fun and flashy cocktails like the Disco Ball or the Electric Slide. You could also go for some classic disco drinks like piña coladas or screwdrivers.
For food, why not serve up some tasty disco themed snacks? Offer up some cheese fondue, mini pizzas, or chicken nuggets. You could also set up a buffet of different salads and dressings to give your guests some variety.
Games
Karaoke
If you’re looking for a fun way to get your guests singing and dancing, why not set up a karaoke machine at your party? You can find karaoke machines at most party stores, or you can rent one online.
Alternatively, a night out at a local karaoke would be a great place to start the party.
Be sure to have lots of ABBA songs ready to go, as well as some other popular party songs. You can even have a few themed games ready to go, like “Name That Tune” or “Dancing Queen.”
Cocktail Competition
If you’re looking for a fun and competitive game to play at your Mamma Mia themed bachelorette party, why not try a cocktail competition? Split your guests into teams and give them each a few different ingredients to make a cocktail with.
You could use anything from spirits to mixers to fruit juices. Bonus to the teams who use Greek inspired alcohols such as Ouzo.
Set a time limit for each team to make their cocktail, and then have everyone taste and vote on their favorite. The winning team gets a prize, like a bottle of champagne or some gift cards.
Drinking Games
Drinking games are always a popular choice for bachelorette parties, and there are plenty of great options that would work perfectly for a Mamma Mia themed party.
One of the classics is the ever-popular game of Truth or Dare. But you could also make it more Mamma Mia themed by calling it Truth or Lies. In this game, players take turns asking each other questions about their past relationships.
The player who answers the question must then decide if they want to tell the truth, or if they want to lie and make up a story.
Another fun game is called “I Never.” In this game, players take turns saying things they have never done before. For example, “I never have gone skydiving.” The player who says something that has been done by another player then has to drink.
You could also try a classic game of Flip Cup or Beer Pong. Just be sure to set up some fun Mamma Mia themed rules, like using only ABBA songs as your drinking songs, or giving bonus points for teams who can come up with the best disco themed drink names.
See below for some other drinking game options (including printables!)
Songs
When it comes to party music, there’s nothing quite like the classics. And what could be more classic than ABBA? Whether you’re looking for upbeat dance songs or power ballads, ABBA has it all.
Here are some of the best songs to add to your Mamma Mia themed bachelorette party playlist:
“Dancing Queen”
“Mamma Mia”
“Take a Chance on Me”
“The Winner Takes It All”
“Super Trouper”
“Waterloo”
Alternatively, download the entire movie soundtrack and have that on repeat throughout the night. This is a sure way to keep the party going and the guests dancing and singing throughout the entire evening.
If you want to add some more modern disco hits to your playlist, try songs like:
“I Believe in a Thing Called Love” by The Darkness
“Can’t Stop the Feeling!” by Justin Timberlake
“I Love It” by Kanye West
“Uptown Funk” by Mark Ronson ft. Bruno Mars
For a compilation of both classic and modern disco songs see the following playlist of songs.
Conclusion
When it comes to throwing a Mamma Mia themed bachelorette party, the sky’s the limit!
You can choose to go with a simple theme, or get really creative and put together an entire evening of fun activities and festivities.
This theme works for both a local night on the town, or a destination weekend away. It is also versatile whether you go full Greek-themed, or opt for the Disco type party.
Regardless of what you all choose to do, be sure to pack your dancing shoes and prepare yourself for an evening of singing, dancing, and fun!
