Choose a list of tasks and items for the group to find and a starting location. Make sure to prepare any materials or logistics you might need along the way.
3. Glamping
Glamping is a popular trend that combines the fun and adventure of camping with the comfort and luxury of a hotel stay. Many glamping destinations offer luxurious tents or yurts that are equipped with comfortable beds, electricity, and other amenities. You can take advantage of the great outdoors and plan activities such as hiking, biking, or kayaking. Or you can find a nearby spa and enjoy a pamper day. Some locations even offer gourmet meals cooked by a private chef or served at a rustic outdoor dining area.
4. Vineyard Hopping
Spend a day vineyard hopping with your closest friends. This idea is a fantastic activity to suit all of the group. If you’re a wine connoisseur then you’ll be in your element, or if you’re a newbie then you can look forward to learning lots about a variety of wines. There are so many amazing destinations to enjoy a vineyard tour, or two.
5. Cocktail Class
Cocktail classes are known to be one of the best bachelorette party ideas and it’s no surprise why! They guarantee fun and a lot of laughs. Plus it’s a relaxed way to bring together a group that might not know each other. Cocktail classes are often offered by bars, restaurants, or specialized mixology schools, and typically involve a mixologist teaching the group how to make a variety of cocktails. You’ll also find different classes for skill sets whether you’re a beginner or a cocktail pro.
6. Cooking Class
If the bride loves cooking, why not bring everyone together for a cooking class? This will give your group the chance to learn new recipes or how to prepare more complicated dishes than usual. Or instead of cooking, choose a bakery class if your group has a sweet tooth. You can even add on cocktails afterward.
7. Old-School Sleepover
Rent out an AirBnB for your group and enjoy an old-school sleepover. You can plan a private screening of the bride’s favorite film at an outdoor location in summer, or cozy up by the fire in winter. Think of icebreaker games, organize some manicures and face masks, and don’t forget to have plenty of sweet and savory snacks.
8. Comedy Show
Comedy shows are a great way to relax and have a good time with friends. Having a few laughs before the big day is perfect for keeping the bride’s worries at bay. Whether you choose a stand-up comedy show, a sketch comedy show, or a comedy club, there are many options available for finding a comedy show that will suit the interests and preferences of the bride and her friends.
9. Paint & Wine Party
Have your friends come over for an evening of painting pictures or creating art projects. If you want to make things more entertaining, then have them bring their favorite bottles of wine or champagne so they can enjoy some drinks while creating their masterpieces. Just make sure there are plenty of paper towels nearby for spills.
10. Casino Night
Transport your friends to Las Vegas with a casino night bachelorette party. Get dressed up in your best outfits and head over to the nearest casino venue where they will help provide everything you need for the evening. There will be games like blackjack, roulette, slot machines, and more! You can even rent out private tables if there’s more than one group attending.
11. Fragrance Parties
Invite your group to try out some new fragrances as they sip a glass of wine or a cocktail. This creative idea is perfect if you’re looking for a sophisticated send-off. A fragrance party typically involves a fragrance expert leading the group in a hands-on workshop where participants learn about different types of fragrances and create their own custom scents. Everyone will be able to take a little gift home too to remember the day!
12. Road Trip
Road trips offer a sense of adventure and freedom. You can head to a destination that you know the bride loves, or try out somewhere new. It gives the group an opportunity to explore a new location and create lasting memories together. When planning a road trip bachelorette party, there are a few key steps to consider, including choosing a destination that works for everyone, mapping out a route, booking accommodation, packing essentials, and arranging cars depending on the size of the group. Make sure you have a playlist and snacks ready for the ride too!
13. Mountain Hideaway
Get away from the hustle and bustle and head to a log cabin hideaway. Unwind with friends as you sit by the fire with some toasted marshmallows, cozy blankets, and a favorite film. It’s a great way for the bride to escape any wedding stress and make her relax in time for the big day. You can even rent accommodation at a snowy resort and try out skiing.
14. Beach Getaway
Pack your bags, sun protection, and sunglasses, and head to the beach. This popular bachelorette party idea is the perfect excuse to chill with friends, top up your tan, and enjoy a few cocktails by the sea.

If you’re an adrenaline junkie, then opt for an action-packed adventure. Plan a weekend full of fun activities including zip-lining, windsurfing, and hiking. This bachelorette party is sure to be an unforgettable one!
16. Yoga & Meditation Retreat
Unplug from wedding planning with a yoga and meditation retreat. This offers the opportunity for relaxation, self-care, and bonding with friends in a peaceful and rejuvenating setting. Yoga and meditation can help to reduce stress and promote feelings of well-being, which can be especially beneficial in the midst of planning details for the upcoming nuptials.
17. Karaoke Night
Sing to your heart’s content with your best friends. Karaoke nights are so much fun because they give everyone an opportunity to be silly while still feeling like they’re being entertaining (even if they’re not!). From power anthems to cheesy pop and old-school chart toppers, there’s something for everyone! There are venues that offer private rooms for groups, with cocktails and snacks.
18. Themed Party
70s, 80s, 90s, or 00s… pick your favourite decade and start partying! Make sure everyone dresses up to match the era and find creative props for your venue. Some ideas include injecting disco fever with a 70’s dance party, or find a boombox, neon balloons and copy your favorite Spice Girl with a 90s theme.
19. Escape Room
One of the most alternative bachelorette party ideas has to be an escape room. Put your friends to the test and make your friendships stronger as you find your way out of the challenge set. It’s a creative way to do something out of the ordinary before the big day. After all, problem-solving and communication are key skills your bride will need for marriage! There are so many different themed escape rooms. Whether you prefer a haunted house, detective theme, or a room based on the bride’s favorite tv show, you’ll have plenty of options to suit your bride’s interests.
20. Pool Party
Grab your favorite swimsuits, pack some floaties, prepare creative cocktails, and get ready to soak up the sun with a bachelorette pool party. It’s perfect for a summer wedding, especially if it’s in a warm destination. Leave plenty of disposable cameras around the pool for everyone to take fun selfies together. You can even personalize some towels, swimsuits, or poolside slippers as a party favor.
21. Music Festival
Music, dancing, food, and an excuse to get dressed up… what more could you want when it comes to choosing the best celebration for the bride-to-be? This idea checks all the boxes for enjoying a memorable night with friends. Check out any upcoming local festivals to see if they line up with your bachelorette party date.
22. Arts & Crafts Class
If you know that your bride loves to work on some DIY, then plan a fun arts and crafts class for everyone to learn some new skills. There are so many to choose from and it’s a great way to get the group bonding. For example, pottery, painting, drawing, flower pressing, calligraphy, candle making, and macrame.
23. Brunch Party
Toast to the bride’s upcoming nuptials with a brunch party. Plan an intimate and unforgettable bachelorette brunch with crowd-pleasing dishes and treats. Your venue could be anywhere you like such as a favorite restaurant, your home, a hotel, a rooftop bar, or a park. Make your decoration photo-worthy to capture the special moment, and keep it entertaining with some games, such as bachelorette bingo, quizzes, and dictionary. Don’t forget to have plenty of mimosas too!
24. Food Tour
If your bride is a keen foodie, she’s sure to love this idea. Pick a location that is full of culinary delights and spend the day sampling what the city has to offer. It’s also perfect if you’re trying to book a daytime experience. You can choose a guided tour that stops off at popular eateries around your chosen city or prepare a budget-friendly version and DIY your own tour.
25. Pole Dancing Class
A pole dancing class is a unique way to celebrate, bond with friends, and get a workout. It can also be a chance to feel confident and empowered. It’s a great idea for women of any age to enjoy, and even your shyest friends will end up showing off a move or two. There are different styles to choose from, including non-pole parties such as letting out your inner diva with a burlesque party or chair dancing.
26. Beauty Treatments
Treat your friends to a pamper day with hair and makeup treatments. It’s a great way for the bride-to-be to relax and enjoy herself. You can go to a local spa or organize DIY beauty treatments at home by setting up stations for manicures and pedicures, facials, and massages. Give each guest their own personalized kit that contains a pair of slippers and an eye mask so they can rest during her treatments — these kits make great prizes for your games later on in the evening!
27. Amusement Park
Enjoy a day full of childhood nostalgia with your best friends at an amusement park. Make the most of the high-intensity rides to let off some steam and create memories to last a lifetime. Choose an amusement park that works for different people in the group. For example, make sure that there are easier experiences such as games for those that aren’t as keen on thrill-seeking. End the day eating at an indulgent food truck with classic snacks including hot dogs, pizza, waffles, churros, and ice cream.
28. Bucket List Trip
Go all out and head to a dream destination with your best friends. Book a bucket list trip to a luxury, charming, or untouched location to enjoy an unforgettable bachelorette party.
