Bachelorette party ideas for my legally blind cousin (self.Blind)
submitted by Kitchen_Marsupial
Hello r/Blind folks! I am looking to plan my amazing and beautiful cousin's bachelorette party that has activities that can stimulate senses other than sight. My cousin has recently become blind (about one year ago), and we are trying to give her a great night on the town. She is currently working with an occupational therapist to develop her mobility skills, and she will likely have a cane by the time we have the party (September 2018). Does anyone have suggestions for what we could do? As for my cousin, she loves cars, video games/comic books, and animals of all kinds. I would love to hear any personal stories/experiences for events like this so that my cousin can have the best time possible. Thank you so much!
Edit: thank you all so much for your great suggestions! In talking with my cousin and the other bridesmaids, we've so far planned to go to a comedy show and plan a night out from there. I'm so happy for the responses from this supportive community, and I hope we can plan something special for my cousin!

I'm a legally blind person who previously worked at a sex shop with bachelorette supplies, I might have some fun ideas!

The best bachelorette parties bring everyone out of their comfort zone to the same level.
A lot of 'out of the box' bachelorette games are tactile. Toss the ring on the cock, pin the penis on the dude. These are great options for a playful time, but often overpriced.
Fun 'make at home' tactile games are definitely possible. Make your own pin-the-tail style game with a superhero poster. Put cherries in the bottoms of shot glasses, top with whipped cream, and see who can get their cherry the fastest without using their hands. Similar games can be designed with ice cubes (lots of sex shops sell miniature dildos small enough to fit in ice cubes, get that cock hot!).
If she's not into the classic bachelorette environment, there are other great options depending on your city. Lots of art galleries and sculpture stores do "craft and drink" nights, often with tactile mediums like clay.
Have finger foods! Help her have fondue, or order cold tapas. Request your foods to be separated by soup cups if she has issues fine dining in dimly lit rooms. Rock climbing is an awesome group activity, and super easy for the blind to learn. 1-2 Switch is an awesome party style video game that's really friendly for the blind. There are tons of things you could do!

If she's not super cool with drinking out in public- maybe a dungeons and dragons game or something similar?
There are several role playing games that are sold with out of the box ready to play character sheets. It can be hilarious to play while drinking. If you've got some time to plan- ask her which comic shop she likes and go there to ask questions. Most comic book shops i know of sell and host rpgs.

There's a Powered by the Apocolypse game for both super DC and Marvel, if I remember right. That could be pretty cool, tbh.

Thanks for suggesting- I'm not much into rpgs myself but i know they're great fun drinking. That and a good game master can describe things easily enough to keep a blind player from being unreasonably confused.

If your cousin likes sports, I suggest a game called beep baseball.
The bases and balls both make a beeping noise to let you know where to run. All sighted people wear blindfolds.
I don't know if this is fitting for a bachlorette party, because, well, I'm a guy, but I thought I might suggest it anyway.
Perhaps a petting zoo? Again, I don't know if these are good suggestions or not.

If she's not into being out in public, the typical bachelorette stuff you get from iParty like penis straws/candles/balloons, if she can see that much, and hats, gag gifts, etc could be fun.
I highly recommend getting drunk and playing Jackbox party pack. I'm close to totally blind, rely on a screen reader, and I can play using my phone to do *most* games.
you could also go to a club/bar/strip club to get tipsy, with a designated driver or two, then take the party to her place, or your place if you're hosting.
