10 Fun, Unconventional Bachelorette Party Ideas

og:image

Got asked to be the maid of honor? Planning your best friend’s bachelorette party?  Chances are the last time you and your closest girlfriends were together in the same state, let alone the same room, was the year before one of you graduated. Here are 10 super fun, creative, hip bachelorette parties that don’t involve clubbing and getting hung over.  Cheers to making fun, once in a lifetime memories with your favorite ladies on the planet.

1. Go paint balling in your old bridesmaid dresses.  If you’ve got a competitive streak, this is right up your alley.

2. Design darling succulent gardens together.  Just think every time you see your little green plants sitting pretty on your desk, you’ll think of this weekend.  You can sign up for a workshop at Paiko if you’re on Oahu here.

3. Take a hot air balloon ride at sunrise and eat a yummy brunch after.  This is by far one of my favorite memories ever.

 4. Go camping.  Rent a cabin. Stay in a tepee or camper or tent. Roast some smores.  Talk about the boys under the stars.

6. Take a pole dancing class with your girlfriends.  It will be ridiculously fun.  I promise.  If you’re on Oahu, you can sign up for a party at Fit for a Goddess here.
