A beach destination is one of the most popular spots for a bachelorette trip! Many brides and/or maids-of-honor put together gift bags for each attendee. Here’s our take on the ultimate bachelorette beach bag that you can put together on any budget.
Not going to the beach for your Bach Bash? Don’t worry! Wait for VA Weddings’ upcoming blog posts for a gift bag guide for other popular destinations.
Let’s Start With the Bag Itself
One major thing to take into account when picking out the bag is how many other items will you be filling it with. You want to make sure it’s big enough for all the other goodies, but not so big that it looks empty when you’re done.
This retro-inspired jelly beach bag is an adorable option! It is collapsable, so it’s the perfect option if you are flying to a destination. Even better: a pack of 6 is only $28 at Oriental Trading!
A personalized option is the Marleylilly Mesh Tote that your girls will definitely be able to reuse at their future beach trips. The $40 price tag includes personalization!
If you want to splurge on a bag, check out this Clare See Through tote from Kate Spade. It’s currently on sale {so grab it before it’s gone!}
If orange isn’t your vibe, this bag is also available in black.
Beach Towel
The Vera Bradley Outlet has great quality beach towels for an even better price. Purchase each girl a different pattern that matches their personality + you’ll be able to tell everyone’s apart for the weekend.
Snag these 33″ x 66″ cotton beach towels for less than $15!
