You’ve gone through the trials and tribulations, kissed a few frogs, but found your Prince! Congratulations!

A bride-to-be has so many things to do before the big day arrives. If you’re the BFF of the bride, it’s your job to ensure her last weekend of freedom is fantastic.
If you’re excited, but confused about how to proceed, read along as we discuss bachelorette party ideas.
Don’t worry; these tips will increase your excitement and not damper it.
Seven Bachelorette Party Ideas
Bachelorette parties have evolved into a severe event complete with planners and itineraries. But we’ve compiled a list of party ideas that don’t involve penis straws unless that’s what your BFF would want. Then more power to you!
However, if your friend prefers a fun-filled last shebang with her girlies, then you’ll adore our tips for a good time.
Fun Photo Shoot
Did you enjoy getting pictures taken at school? Does the sight of a photo booth give you butterflies? Then think about scheduling a fun photoshoot for your friend’s bachelorette party.
A photoshoot with costumes will help the bride laugh and forget about the caterers, flower arrangements, or family traveling for the wedding.
If you want to take it up a notch, consider going the more glam route with a high fashion type of shoot. Treating the ladies to a day of a makeover and posing for the camera will be good practice for the post-wedding pictures.
Plus, you’ll have the memories and photos of your friend’s final days of singlehood.
Champagne Crawl
Who doesn’t enjoy traveling around to taste different champagnes? A champagne crawl adds some class to the traditional pub crawl. When deciding to do any crawl where alcoholic beverages are served, think about transportation.
Depending on the number of ladies in attendance, it might be best to rent a party bus. Going to different watering-holes in the luxury of a party bus will add to the fun.
Although limos are spacious, a party bus provides room to walk around and keep the merriment going. Put together a playlist, and you’ll never notice you left one cocktail lounge to try another.
Painting with Cocktails
If trying out multiple champagne brands isn’t for your group, then consider painting with cocktails. Going to an art studio to create a unique piece while sipping on lethal libations is time well-spent.
Gather up the girls, wear comfy clothes, and bring your favorite drinks. Make sure no one is drinking and driving. Use a ride-share or rent a party bus if your group is large.
Painting is relaxing and engaging. What’s a better way to help your BFF take her mind off responsibilities?

Slumber Party
Now you may have graduated high school years ago, but a slumber party never goes out of style. It’s up to you whether the slumber party happens in your home or a hotel suite.
If your bachelorette party grows to a large number, it’s best to rent a hotel room or a house for the night.
To make the night special have personalized gifts such as t-shirts, mirror compacts, or manicure kits made. These items don’t have to be expensive, but it’s the thought that counts.
Wellness Retreat
A wellness retreat might be what the doctor ordered for a bride-to-be. Finding a spa to get massages, mani/pedi, makeovers, or yoga classes is a relaxing way to reconnect with your friend.
The bride has so many things going on that getting a chance to relax is perfect for her.
Search for the closest overnight spa to cut down on the cost. But make sure the facility is clean with a good reputation. Read the reviews and testimonials to make sure you’re getting your money’s worth.
Mention it to the bride to feel out whether it’s the right choice. A chill bachelorette party might not be her thing.
Escape Room
An escape room provides the perfect excuse to band together to solve a mystery. An escape room is an interactive game for where people are put into a confined. They must solve clues to solve the puzzle.
It’s a perfect event for people who love working together as a team and don’t mind being in a small confined space.
Also, be mindful of who you invite to an escape room. You want to ensure there’s no drama and more fun. So if too many people are competitive, do something else.
Concert and Dinner
When it’s time to party with your BFF going to see her favorite singer or band is an excellent way to celebrate her upcoming nuptials.
Although some concert tickets might set you back a few hundred per person (for example, Taylor Swift tickets can certainly command a premium these days, but the production factor more than justifies it), it doesn’t have to be an expensive affair. Shop around for any festivals or free concerts in the area to keep costs low.
Ask the ladies in the wedding party to pitch in and treat the bride-to-be for one last single girl’s night out.
But if you’re attending a concert, be sure to eat beforehand because no one enjoys hunger while trying to sing their favorite songs.
Schedule the Event
Now that you have fantastic bachelorette party ideas, it’s time for planning. It’s incredible how fast the big day arrives, so you don’t want to be scrambling at the last minute.
Don’t stress. Your BFF will enjoy whatever you plan if it’s what she enjoys to do.
