Crazy bachelorette ideas for the final toast to the single life

The idea of a bachelorette almost immediately takes me to the little island of Kalokairi in Greece, with Donna and the Dynamos dancing the night away to Mamma Mia and Super Trouper, with nothing but stunning boho-chic fits and bottles of champagne. It’s one of those rare, freepasses in life to do absolutely anything that you want to—book a flight to Paris? Go diving with dolphins? Day-drinking in Vegas? Plan a treasure hunt through the city? Go for it. Amid the unending stress of planning a wedding, a bachelorette seems like the perfect getaway to wine down and relax. And we’ve made it even simpler for you to plan one. From renting a yacht for the weekend, to booking a weekend full of dancing, yoga, and cooking workshops for you and your girls, we’ve created a list of crazy, quirky, and creative bachelorette experiences that you can have, before you say ‘I do.’ 

Rent a yacht 

Go all-in for this once-in-a-lifetime event and rent that yacht. Dress up in your favourite silk gown and sip on a cocktail with a view of the sunset at sea. It’s a whole weekend of nothing but good food, drinks and music, surrounded by your favourite girls. And if you’re up to going a little crazier, get into that swim-suit and jump off the yacht—a core memory created right there. We promise, it’ll be the picture-perfect bachelorette you’ve always dreamed of and even more. 

A treasure hunt through the city 

Hey girlfriends, here is your cue to plan the perfect treasure hunt for the bride-to-be who lives for questions, quizzes, and mysteries. Create clues and fun riddles across the bride’s favourite parts of the city (hint: favourite restaurant, hang-out spot in college, where she went on her first date…even throw in some memories that will make her feel warm, fuzzy and nostalgic) and end the day with a good meal, cheer, and laughter—and of course a prize for the winner! 

Go Glamping 

Imagine spending a night (or two) tucked away in nature, but with all the luxuries—glamping is definitely a must-have experience. Sing along to your all-time favourite songs and make smores by the campfire, talk into the night under the stars, and sleep in the comforts of a bed and warm blanket in a tent or hut. If you want to make it even more adorable, get matching PJs and sleeping masks! Here’s a pro tip: invest in a Polaroid camera and string up the pictures together as a gift for the bride from her girlfriends on her wedding day. 

Fly to Paris 

This may sound cliché and cheesy, but going to Paris for an all-girls trip is everything you need and more just before your wedding. Dress up (in anything but ringarde), have picnics by the Eiffel Tower, and eat all the croissants you can dream of. Glam up for a night on the town and experience Paris’s nightlife, where there’s something for everyone—a quiet walk by the canals, night clubs and more. If you’re feeling adventurous, take some inspo from Priyanka Chopra who went on a power-packed bachelorette through Paris and Amsterdam! 

One weekend of everything, please 

Tick off several things on your bucket with one adventure-packed weekend—from yoga and meditation workshops, to learning how to cook a new cuisine and learning the hook step of your favourite Bollywood song. Opt for a staycation at a hotel, attend these workshops, pamper yourselves with a visit to a spa or salon and have the time of your life with a grown-up slumber party with games like truth or dare, never have I ever, Cards Against Humanity, and more. 

Satisfy the adventure-bug in you 

If you’re one to jump off planes and dive into the deep sea, get your best friends together and fly to Spain (Ahem: Zindagi Na Milegi Doobara) or any other destination of your choice—from Greece to Andaman—and make a list of every adventure sport you’ve ever wanted to do—sky diving, cliff jumping, hiking, hot-air balloon ride…everything—and go out there and do it. Trust us when we say, you won’t regret it. 

Get all artsy 

Look your absolute best, hit the road and drive down to a vineyard for a tour of a winery and book yourself for a wine tasting experience at sunset paired with some olives, cheese, and your favourite music. Wake up to a spectacular sunrise overlooking the vineyard, get out some canvases, and paint away at the balcony of your hotel room or together as a group. It’s the perfect idea for some peace, quiet, and creativity.
