Bachelorette parties usually consist of epic nights, club hopping and the typical boozefest, but if that’s not your scene we’ve rounded up the ultimate list for alternative, yet fun, bachelorette party ideas. Plan a party that really reflects the bride’s interest. Here’s what’s hot.
For the chill bride, plan a spa day. Not every bachelorette party has to be a rowdy night. Plan a weekend spa getaway to Arizona or even call up your local spa and see what’s available. MobileSpa creates customized spa days in the comfort of your home, offering massages, facials and body treatments. Have a caterer come in to create a gourmet meal while getting pampered.
For the wine-loving bride, take her on a winery tour. From Long Island, N.Y., to Napa Valley, Calif., introduce your friends to an upscale version of the traditional bachelorette party. Rent a limo, plan your stops and end with dinner at a vineyard.
Plan an old-fashioned slumber party for the budget bride. While we are no longer in middle school, a movie night slumber party with man-candy movies, junk food and adult-only drinking games sounds like a good time. Bring back slumber party games like Truth or Dare, Never Have I Ever or a Ouija board.
Whisk the fitness bride-to-be away on a wellness retreat. From retreats in the Caribbean to those in California, hotels across the country offer buff-up options for bachelorette parties that involve workouts, spa treatments, beach time and gourmet meals.
Seize the day on the water with the ocean-loving bride. Rent a luxe yacht or large speedboat, or plan a river-rafting trip. Not only will everyone get sun before the big day, you’ll have plenty of time to bond on the water. Don’t forget the booze — try an Ocean Breeze or Sea Breeze, an appropriate drink of choice.
For the nature lover, go glamping. Rent a vacation home in the mountains for a luxe weekend escape. Nothing says peace and quiet like the great outdoors and a lack of cell phone reception. Bond with the bridal party over a glass of wine while overlooking beautiful scenery. Throw in some fun bachelorette party games, and a daytrip to a nearby spa or small town. Whip up some hors d’oeuvres like prosciutto-wrapped bacon and other favorites.
