As for where to have it, I threw one for my best friend over the summer, and used the clubhouse of my apartment building. It had just been remodeled, so it looked more like an expensive hotel lobby, and I didn't need to decorate much - I just put votive candles everywhere.
For favors, I bought 0.99 clay flower pots from a craft store, and painted them in her wedding colors - a third in navy, a third in sage, and a third in ivory. I then put a pearl-ish top coat, and tied a ribbon in another one of the colors around it, and planted lavender flowers in them (her bouquet colors). Those doubled as decorations, since I had them scattered around the room.
And then for food, I just went to Costco and bought cheese platters, fruit, cookies and veggies, and made a punch and bought lots of wine.
As for games - we didn't really do them. It was more of a cocktail party for the ladies, and she opened gifts.
