A bachelorette party is a time-honored tradition that celebrates a bride-to-be's final days of singledom in style. It's an event filled with laughter, bonding and a bit of indulgence-whether that means a night out on the town, a weekend getaway, or a cozy gathering with close friends. But what exactly goes into planning this fabulous fete? At the Classy Bach, we have spiced up the details with a few fun facts and figures along the way!
The key ingredients of a fabulous bachelorette party
A bachelorette party can take many forms, depending on the bride's personality, interests and budget. Here are some of the essential elements that often go into creating an unforgettable experience:
The Guest List
A bachelorette party is usually an intimate affair, with the guest list including the bride's closest friends and family. The size of the group can vary, but the average number of the bride tribe is usually around 10.
The Destination
Whether it's a night out in the bride's hometown or a destination weekend in a glamorous city like Miami, the location sets the tone for the entire event. According to a survey by The Knot, 49% of bachelorette parties involve travel, with popular destinations including Nashville, Miami, and New Orleans.
The Itinerary
The activities planned for a bachelorette party are as diverse as the brides themselves. Some popular options include:
Spa Days: We often book the Spa at the Standard Hotel & The Carillion Hotel has a great spa, where the bride and co will stay for a relaxing lunch afterwards.
Nightlife: A night of dancing and cocktails is a classic choice for a bachelorette party. LIV and E11EVEN are the most popular bachelorette club of choice in Miami.
In recent years, 'experience-based' bachelorette parties have gained popularity, with unique activities like cooking classes, wine tasting, or even permanent jewelry-making workshops making the itinerary. We work closely with a great jewelry maker, talk to us about booking it for your upcoming bachelorette party!
The Swag
No bachelorette party is complete without a bit of themed flair. Matching outfits, custom t-shirts, and bridal sashes are just the beginning. Bridesmaids often go that extra mile with personalized gifts, like monogrammed robes or custom jewelry, that the bride can cherish long after the party ends.
The Food & Drinks
Whether it's a chic brunch, a gourmet dinner, or a mixologist class, food and drinks are essential to keeping the party vibe going. Signature cocktails are a popular touch, with many brides choosing a custom drink to represent her style. (Click here to read our blogpost on cocktail names at a bachelorette party).
