Planning a memorable bachelorette party doesn’t have to involve expensive flights, packed itineraries, or a weekend away. A staycation bachelorette party offers all the fun of a destination celebration while letting everyone save money, reduce travel stress, and spend more quality time together. Whether you’re booking a luxury vacation rental in your hometown or transforming someone’s home into the ultimate girls’ getaway, a well-planned staycation can be every bit as unforgettable. To help you make the most of the weekend, we’ve created the perfect three-day staycation bachelorette itinerary filled with relaxing moments, delicious food, fun activities, and plenty of opportunities to celebrate the bride-to-be.
Friday- Arrival Day
- If you chose a fun vacation rental or hotel, check in is probably around 3-4pm; just in time to decorate and get the party started! If someone is hosting at their home, schedule a time in advance you’d like everyone to arrive.
- Have a fun welcome bevvy to set the tone for a fun-filled weekend. A great non-alcoholic option is a dirty-soda bar complete with all the soda options, creamer, syrups and garnishes. Check out this guide for more ideas! A great cocktail is anything that can be prepped in a batch, like sangria or a margarita!
- After everyone settles in, get ready for a nice dinner. If you’re the one planning this celebratory weekend, make sure to get reservations in advance, especially if it’s a large group and a popular restaurant.
- If going out on the town is up the bride’s alley, that’s a great after-dinner activity. If not, go back home for a cozy movie night. Check out all those must-see 2000s wedding RomComs.
Saturday-
- Begin the morning with an at-home breakfast and a group workout class. Depending on where you’re located, there may be an instructor willing to come to your home. If not, there’s always YouTube or a local studio.
- After you’ve got your movement in for the day, do a seasonal activity.
- In the summer this could be a pool/beach/lake day.
- For the fall, check out a pumpkin patch or apple orchard.
- A great winter option is ice skating, snow tubing, or skiing.
- In the spring check out a tulip festival, farmers market, or local winery.
- Other great ideas for any time of year include:
- Floral arranging class
- Permanent jewelry party
- Pottery painting
- Spa day
- Spend the second night of your staycation at your accommodation and cook in or have a chef come to you, like this hibachi chef!
- After dinner, have a craft night, like diamond dotz, embroidery, or jewelry making.
- End the night by playing your traditional bachelorette games- check out our suggestions here!
