Alright, ladies. One of your best friends is about to get married and you need to throw her the best bachelorette party of all-time. It’s no easy task, but we know you can do it. Here are a few suggestions to make this bachelorette party really stand out!<\/p>\n

First, let’s just clear something up. Despite the fact that it dominates the movies and most of the websites you’ll visit about planning a bachelorette party, not every bride-to-be wants the theme of her party to be… well,\u00a0parts.<\/em> You’ll find anatomically-themed straws, necklaces, shot glasses, etc. You’ll be told to hit up the closest strip joint or hire male dancers. If this is what your friend wants, absolutely go that route! But, it’s important to remember that this isn’t for everyone. Some brides will much prefer spending some quality time with her lady friends. So, here are some alternative suggestions.<\/p>\n

Take a Class Together<\/h2>\n

Is the bride-to-be a foodie? An artist? A wine lover? A dancer? No matter what her hobby \u2013 there’s likely a bonding experience in there somewhere. If your friend loves to cook, you could all take a cooking class together and then enjoy your delicious treats. If she loves to dance, you could explore a new dance style together and then hit the club! Or hire a choreographer<\/a> or dance instructor<\/a> to give you a private lesson! For the wine drinkers,\u00a0go to a wine tasting and learn all about the different varietals. Better yet, if your friend is an artist\u00a0and<\/em> a wine drinker, look for a local Wine & Painting event. They’re very popular these days! Plus, you’ll all get to take home your painting as a party favor.<\/p>\n

Road Trip!<\/h2>\n

Is there a city that your friend has always wanted to explore, but never had the chance? If that city happens to be within driving distance, there’s no time like the present to take it by storm! Rent a van, collect the bridesmaids, and hit the road. Together, you can explore that city’s museums, restaurants, shops, and sights. Take photos as you go along and put together a scrapbook for the bride after your trip!<\/p>\n

Check Items Off Her Bucket List<\/h2>\n

Ask your friend about some of her bucketlist items \u2013 things she just\u00a0has<\/em> to do \u2013 and do one or two of them! Some popular bucketlist items that could be fun as a group are skydiving, white water rafting, hot air balloon rides, or seeing certain bands live. If, for whatever reason, you can’t make her dream concert happen, shoot for the next best thing by hiring a Cover Band<\/a>, Tribute Band<\/a>, or Impersonator<\/a>. Your friend will appreciate the gesture!<\/p>\n

Vegas, Baby!<\/h2>\n

The guys always seem to monopolize the casino for their bachelor parties. But, if the bride is feeling lucky, it’s time for the ladies to give the casino a shot! If Vegas is too far (or if the boys will be there), bring Vegas to you by booking your own in-house Casino Party<\/a> and inviting all of the bride’s closest lady friends over to play. You can even hire Las Vegas Style Entertainers<\/a> for an authentic feel.<\/p>\n

Photo Shoot<\/h2>\n

For very close groups of friends, a photo shoot is a great way to enjoy each others company and be left with lasting memories. This can be as serious or as silly as you want. We recommend booking a Photographer<\/a> for the day and visiting some of your favorite spots around the city. Bring a few different outfits. Get creative! Sure, dress up in some, casual in others. But, don’t limit yourself. Perhaps a fun addition to the photo shoot would be spending the day before thrift shopping for the craziest outfits you can find!<\/p>\n

Well, what are you waiting for? You’ve got a party to plan and some fun to have! If you need any help along the way, feel free to reach out to us at GigSalad<\/a>!<\/p>\n
