Don’t we all love weddings? The billowing white tulle, the teary declarations of love everlasting, and last but definitely not least, the bachelorette party. The mention of the words "bachelorette party" usually brings up pictures of unbridled debauchery, booze and lots of cash down the drain. This need not to be the case. After all, hiring a stripper and drinking are not the only ways to have a good time. If your BFF is finally getting hitched, here are some great bachelorette party ideas that will turn a regular night into an event.

20 Fun Bachelorette Party Ideas

1

Go camping

Does the bride to be have a penchant for the great outdoors? Then this is a no-brainer. Check out the campsites in your area and make bookings well in advance. Make sure to ask about the activities on offer. Canoeing, hiking, horseback riding, fishing or swimming can add a spark to the occasion. All guests should be made aware of the itinerary so they know what to pack. And don’t forget the toilet paper!

One day on the road

You don’t have to settle for one plan. Why not have it all? Go on a road trip and explore all you can. Hire a chauffeur driven limo and visit all the places you fancy. If the group is too big, you can hire a luxury van. Since there is a designated driver, you can have all the fun you want, and you won’t have to worry about driving home. You can opt to have a party at an apartment or hotel in the evening. This can be a tad bit expensive compared to other ideas.

A sport party

Is the bride to be sporty? Why not make her day by holding bachelorette Olympics? You can even have the groom’s party participate in the wedding related games. Don’t worry, they’ll love it. Play games such as "walk the bride down the aisle" relay and "garter toss". You can also try to make a wedding dress out of toilet paper.
