So – what is your idea of how a bachelorette party should go? I feel like there are two roads you can take.
1) Vegas Style! This is a weekend that will no doubt be hard to forget (assuming you can actually remember it). Fabulous dresses packed- 20′s cashed in for1′s – cell phones turned to silent – cameras charged and ready – human decorations to match each outfit and of course tickets purchased for those “special” shows. The nights start LATE and the mornings are hardly actually seen. You wake up hung-over, crawl down to the amazing buffet and stare at whoever is sitting across from you with a look of “please kill me know”! Once you regain consciousness – the camera creeps out and the re-hashing beings. The whole day is spent trying to remember what actually happened and who it happened with (or to). Your stomach hurts from laughing so hard and you are literally crying the pictures are so funny! When the weekend finally comes to an end, you are all in need of a vacation from your vacation!
2) Girls Weekend! I’m thinking cabin, beach house or resort somewhere out of town with all your bridesmaids and close girl family members. You spend the weekend cooking, gabbing, drinking wine, shopping, lunching, drinking wine, watching romantic movies, laying by the pool, taking advantage of the spa, drinking wine and of course Girl Talk! This weekend is spent with those closest to you telling “remember when” stories while laughing so hard you are forced to cry. Old picture books are pulled out and no doubt the happy tears being. The girls that are married tell you all about the good times you have to look forward to and the girls that are single gush @ how happy they are for you (while secretly wishing they were in your shoes). It’s a calm weekend full of memories and reminiscing .
Either way you decide to spend your last “single” weekend – make sure you are surrounded by the people you love the most. That is where the best memories come from!
Congratulations Twirl Brides! We are so excited for you and your new adventure! We hope your Bachelorette party is a weekend you will never forget!

I had more of a “girl’s weekend” type bachelorette party. I’m not much of a drinker, and I really just wanted to spend time with my friends and have them all in one place, since that rarely happens.

I think that are some in between options as well(especially with the down economy). We book lots of parties that are a single day. Things like sailing, candle making, chocolate making, wine tasting, smash parties, etc. I think you said it perfect when you said you should “surround yourself with people you love the most”. No matter what you do, memories (good ones) should be your goal. Great post!

Lauren – I totally agree with you! I would be the “girl’s weekend” type as well!
Jamie – I actually have had some friends do the single day parties. You are right, with the lovely economy as it is, something on a smaller scale is a great idea!
Again – it’s all about who you are with! xoxo
