People have viewed bachelorette parties over the years as a wild night of celebration, where the bride and her friends party and drink all night in bars and clubs. Some brides may enjoy this kind of party, but others prefer a more relaxed and low-key event. They want to spend time with family and friends, and relax. Here are some ideas for brides who prefer comfort and leisure over anything else during their bachelorette parties.
Glamping
Glamping is the ideal bachelorette party for brides, their friends and anyone who loves the outdoors and doesn’t mind sacrificing comfort. Your group will enjoy the opportunity to unwind and disconnect from their daily routines.
Research glamping locations in your area. They may offer fully-equipped tents, cabins or yurts. Be sure to check that the amenities include comfortable bedding, electricity and a clean restroom. You can include activities such as hiking, wildlife viewing, or camping to make your trip more fun and memorable. Pack essentials like toiletries, and comfortable clothing like denim pants or a warm jacket if it’s your very first time glamping.
Spa Day
Spending a day at the spa is the ultimate “chill girl”. Invite family and friends to a relaxing day. Select a reputable spa for your spa day that offers treatments such as massages, body wraps and facials. You should book at a spa that has a private lounge where you can spend time with your group between treatments. The exclusivity of the experience makes it feel more intimate and special.
Beach Day or Pool Day
Invite your friends to a girls-only beach day and have some fun! You can play beach volleyball or swim to get a tan. The sound of the waves and warm sun rays create a perfect backdrop for a bachelorette party. Pack essentials such as sunscreen, towels and comfortable lounge mats. Bring a cooler full of drinks and light refreshments if you want to have a quick snack with your friends.
Outdoor Movie Night
A bachelorette party can be made more fun with an outdoor movie night. It’s a great way to create a relaxed atmosphere. Rent a location with outdoor screening equipment or put up a white sheet in your backyard. Bring out picnic blankets or bean bags for the seating and add pillows to make it more comfortable. You can choose your favorite movies or films that suit the mood of the event, like romantic comedies or feel-good TV. Do not forget to bring snacks for the ultimate cinematic experience. This activity will allow you and your guests a relaxing night of enjoyment.
Yacht Cruise
Booking a private cruise is a great way to enjoy luxuries while keeping it low-key. You should plan a trip that begins in the late afternoon, and ends early in the evening. You can also enjoy a meal on board while avoiding the mid-afternoon heat. Enjoy gourmet food, cocktails, the breeze, and even a swim in the water before it gets dark. This is the ideal opportunity for your group to create unforgettable memories and celebrate in private.
Garden Party
A garden party is a great way to celebrate your wedding before the big day. A garden’s natural beauty makes it a beautiful setting for any gathering. The garden party can be held in a private backyard, or at a venue that you rent. Add your own floral arrangements and decorations such as fairy lights or garden ornaments to personalize the event.
Menus will vary depending on whether the event is a small gathering with drinks and snacks or an extended celebration including full-course meals. The atmosphere at a garden party should be relaxed elegance where guests can mix and mingle.
Yoga Retreat
What better way to celebrate your bachelorette than signing up for a short yoga retreat with family and friends? Yoga retreats combine the health benefits of yoga such as improved mental clarity and stress reduction with the chance to bond in a peaceful environment. The retreat may include yoga sessions for all levels of experience, guided meditations and wellness workshops, depending on where you are located. This holistic approach allows the bride to relax and rejuvenate with her group.
Sip & Paint Session
A sip and painting session at home is the perfect way to celebrate a bachelorette in a relaxed, chill atmosphere. Imagine yourself surrounded by your closest friends while you enjoy fine wine and nibble light snacks as you paint masterpieces onto a blank canvas. Sip and Paint is a fun, stress-free way to relax while engaging in creative activities. You can let your brushstrokes lead you and enjoy the moment. It is best to organize this indoors so that you can enjoy time with family and friends in your own home. You can create meaningful art together and unwind.
How to Plan the Perfect Low-Key Bachelorette Party
Most people overlook the real purpose for a bachelorette, which is to celebrate a bride-to be and her upcoming marriage. It does not have to be a lavish affair. It can be as simple and straightforward as a movie with friends, or a spa trip with your entourage. The best bachelorette parties are those that reflect the personality of the bride and make her feel special. If you are planning your own bachelorette party or helping out a friend with theirs, these ideas will help create a memorable and chill bridal celebration.
