It wasn’t that long ago that bachelor and bachelorette parties usually meant wild parties or nights out on the town with outlandish stories. Times have changed and people are toning down their celebrations and exchanging them with meaningful get-togethers with close friends and family. But this doesn’t mean that the new variety of bachelor and bachelorette parties can’t be full of fun with lasting memories. Take a look at the ideas below and get inspired to plan your next bachelor or bachelorette party.
Spa Weekend
There is no shortage of beautiful hotels or wellness retreats that have spa packages. They usually offer everything from massages to yoga classes and a variety of treatments in a spa setting. It sounds like a perfect place to come together with your girlfriends and throw a relaxing bachelorette party. It doesn’t have to be a full weekend of pampering in the spa. That might get a little boring for some folks. In the evening, you can add a group dinner, a night of dancing, a music concert, or rent a charter boat to spice things up.

Go Camping
Bonfires, cookouts, and a little adventure in the woods always appeal to the groom-to-be and his friends. You can rough it and spend the night in tents or perhaps something more civilized like renting a cabin. There is so much to do in the great outdoors. Fishing trips, canoe excursions, or hiking the terrain. It’s a great bonding experience with the group and not to mention a lot of fun.
If your bachelorette party decides they want a camping experience as well, you could always turn it up a notch and make it a glamping weekend get-away with the girls. They’ll be talking about the trip for years to come.
Take a Cruise
If you really want to celebrate your friend’s last days of being single then consider a cruise. It’s cost-effective, exciting and it’s one of the most memorable ways to throw a bachelor or bachelorette party. Pick a unique destination such as a cruise to Alaska. It’s the perfect place to host the event. You can spend the evenings celebrating with friends on board the ship but also experience glaciers, nature, open waters and Alaska cruise ports during the day.
It’s like a mini-vacation and a bachelor or bachelorette party all in one — a great way to throw a memorable party for the bride or groom to be.

Go to an Amusement Park
Who doesn’t like a good amusement park? They offer roller coasters, electric swings and water slides. They’re filled with exciting attractions that give us adrenaline rushes and conjure memories from our childhood. The good news is that they work for both bachelor and bachelorette parties.
Planning the bachelor and bachelorette event will be a blast. Enlist the help of a few friends and get creative when it comes to planning. Remember, turn the idea on its head. You don’t have to stick to the traditional party ideas. Camping, visiting amusement parks, or taking a cruise are just a few of your options. Have fun!
