Custom Buttons for Bachelorette & Bachelor Parties

Why Bachelorette & Bachelor Parties Order Custom Buttons

Custom buttons have become a Canadian bachelorette/bachelor party staple. Why? They're cheap enough to give to every guest (~$0.50–$1 per button at volume), personalize-able per person (each guest gets a button with their name and role), and keepsake-worthy (guests pin them to lapels at the party and keep them as a memory).

Button Bros produces hundreds of bachelorette and bachelor party orders per year across Canada. See our Custom Buttons Canada hub for nationwide details.

Bachelorette Button Categories

"Bride Tribe" / "Team Bride" Buttons

Classic bachelorette theme — every guest wears a button identifying them as part of the bride's tribe. The bride gets a distinct "BRIDE" button (often larger, gold, or sparkly look). Bridesmaids get "MAID OF HONOR," "BRIDESMAID," or fun titles ("Final Fling Before the Ring," "Last Splash").

Photo Buttons

Buttons featuring photos of the bride (often embarrassing throwback childhood photos) — a comedic staple. Different photos on each button, distributed randomly so guests collect different ones throughout the night.

Wedding Hashtag Buttons

Buttons featuring the couple's wedding hashtag (#SmithSays2026, #BachelorettesGoneWild). Encourages guests to post on Instagram with the hashtag during the party.

Bride / Groom Last Name Buttons

Buttons featuring the new last name the bride will take ("Future Mrs. Smith," "The Smiths" + wedding date).

Bar Crawl / Pub Night Buttons

For bar-crawl style bachelorettes, buttons with the crawl route or themed images on each bar's button.

Bachelor Party Buttons

Similarly applies to bachelor parties — "Team Groom," "Best Man," "Groomsman," photo buttons of the groom, etc. Same product, different audience.

Same-Sex Wedding Party Buttons

Adapts beautifully to same-sex weddings — "Team Brides," "Team Grooms," or matching wedding-party titles.

Bachelorette Button Sizes

• 1.5" round ($0.55–$1.00/ea) — most popular, fits clearly readable text
• 2.25" round ($0.55–$0.70/ea) — premium look, more design space for photos
• 3" round ($1.00–$2.00/ea) — statement buttons for the bride/groom (typically just one)
• 2" × 2" square — modern alternative to round, popular for hashtag buttons

Typical Bachelorette Button Order Math

For a 10-guest bachelorette party:

• 1 large 3" "BRIDE" button for the bride = $2.00
• 10 × 1.5" round "BRIDE TRIBE" buttons (different names) at $1.00 each = $10.00
• Total: $12 for the whole party

Split among the bridesmaids, that's $1.20 per guest — the cheapest meaningful gift you can give. Most guests keep their button as a wedding-week memory.

Photo Button Production Process

If using photo buttons (embarrassing photos of the bride):

1. Gather 4–8 photos from the bride's family/childhood friends
2. Each photo gets its own button design
3. Order 5–10 of each photo (~50–80 buttons total)
4. Distribute randomly at the party so guests collect different ones
5. Most guests pin their button to clothes, jewelry, or jacket lapels for the night

Bachelor Party Button Strategies

Bachelor parties tend toward simpler button strategies:

• "GROOM" button for the groom (distinct, larger)
• "BEST MAN" and "GROOMSMAN" buttons for the wedding party
• Hashtag or wedding-week reference buttons
• Photo buttons (popular but use restraint — bachelor party photos may not all be appropriate for buttons)

Pin-back buttons for bachelor parties also work as bottle openers — see our Custom Buttons Canada hub for bottle-opener button options.

Order Timeline for Bachelorettes

Bachelorette parties are typically planned 1–3 months in advance. Order buttons 2–3 weeks before the party for comfortable buffer:

• 3 weeks before: Finalize guest list, button designs, photos to use
• 2 weeks before: Order buttons from Button Bros (2–3 day production)
• 1 week before: Buttons arrive at planner's address
• Day of party: Distribute at arrival, pin to clothes, take photos
