There is no one type of wedding, there is no one type of bride, and there is certainly no one type of bachelorette party.
While some brides have been planning their bachelorette party since they were in kindergarten, others probably didn’t think twice about one until they got engaged.
Las Vegas is of course the destination most people think of when they think of a raging bachelorette party, but Sin City only scratches the surface of eligible locations.
Nashville, Tennessee, and Scottsdale, Arizona have also become very popular in recent years, with bachelorette parties flocking to these cities every weekend of the year.
Whether you’re looking for a relaxing weekend or nights out on the town, there is a bachelorette destination suited for you!
Read on to see some of the different options:
Stowe, Vermont
Most bachelorette parties head someplace warm, but a trip up north could be just as fun. Stowe is especially beautiful in the fall and winter, with stunning wineries, hiking trails, and cozy cabins.
This may be a great option if you live somewhere warm year-round, as it will give you a chance to experience other seasons.
Charleston, South Carolina
If you’re looking to have a quaint weekend rather than a full-on rager, Charleston is a fantastic option.
Full of adorable shops, great restaurants, and a variety of accommodations, this is the perfect destination for a bride who wants to spend quality time with her group.
Take a carriage tour of the city or, if you want to get a little crazy, schedule a Booze Cruise!
New York City
Despite the fact that New York City is one of the most popular cities in the world, it’s surprisingly not a place you think of when you think of bachelorette party destinations.
However, NYC has so much to offer, from the best restaurants to Broadway to some of the best shopping in the world. Plus, New York has great nightlife, so you’ll be able to stay up as late as you want.
Napa Valley, California
This destination is for, as to be expected, all the girls who love wine. Any trip to Napa wouldn’t be complete without a trip to a winery, so that’s an absolute must.
Take a hot air balloon ride overlooking the beautiful vineyards or head to a spa for a day of relaxation.
New Orleans, Louisiana
New Orleans is a great destination for a bride who wants to have fun but doesn’t necessarily want to party inside a club like you would in Las Vegas.
The Big Easy is full of incredible jazz bars, but for those who want to get a little spooky, ghost tours are definitely a must. You could also hit up some voodoo shops at Bourbon Street.
Go Random
Now, this idea is not for the type-A brides who love to plan everything (no shade, this would be me if I was getting married), but it is for the ones who are up for a little adventure.
If you’re open to going anywhere in the country (or the world, if you’ve got the money), take out a map and find a dart. Close your eyes, throw the dart at the map, and see where it lands.
Whichever major city is closest to the dart, that’s where your bachelorette party is going to be! Use it as an opportunity to see part of the country you’ve maybe never seen before and force yourself to get creative with activity ideas.
Whether the dart lands near San Francisco or a tiny city in Oklahoma, you’ll have a great story to tell no matter what.
