Your wedding day is supposed to be the happiest and most memorable day of your life. And your bachelorette party should be one of most fun. After all, it is your last chance to cut loose with your girlfriends as a single woman before you get hitched. Traditionally, a bachelorette party entailed a gathering of your closest friends, some spirits and some bachelorette party supplies, and possibly a male stripper or two. But more and more brides-to-be are celebrating their impending nuptials with a girl’s weekend in an exciting destination. Lets have a look at three of the most popular bachelorette weekend destinations.
New York City
If Sex and the City taught us anything it was that there is no more exciting place on the planet for single women to cut loose than in the Big Apple. Whether you want to go clubbing, see a Broadway show, go shopping on Madison Avenue or simply enjoy a day at the spa, anything and everything you could ever want is just a cab ride away. You might even decide to have a girl’s night in and enjoy the amenities of some of the finest hotels in the world. Perhaps a message or a facial is on the menu? But beware. New York City is no place for the penniless. So make sure that the other girls in your party can afford the trip before you go making hotel reservations. You might even save some money by booking two or three girls to a room, which could give the weekend a special slumber party feel.
Las Vegas, Nevada
It's Vegas Time!
Many describe Sin City as little more than an adult playground, and what better place to celebrate your last weekend as a single woman? Las Vegas has just about everything you might imagine in a city built on gambling, entertainment, sex and outrageousness. It is truly a city that never stops partying and neither will you when you’re there. A word of caution: if you decide to gamble, only bring what you can afford to lose. The weekend won’t be memorable, at least not in a good way, if you come home from Vegas after spending the next 2 months rent. In fact, it is probably a good idea to avoid the casinos altogether for the first night and experience Sin City’s fabulous nightlife. You might also take in a show or visit any one of a dozen comedy clubs. It is also a good idea to plan for only a two-day stay. Trust me, two days in Vegas is like a month anywhere else.
Orlando, Florida
For that perfect mix of fun and sun you can’t do any better than Orlando, Florida. Though known primarily as a theme park paradise, Orlando has a vibrant party scene that will keep you bopping every night of the week. It is also home to some of the country’s greatest outlet shopping malls, world-class spas and four-star restaurants. Oh, and if you get tired of tripping the light fantastic, there is always the diversion of those ever popular theme parks. Orlando is not only home to Disney, Universal and SeaWorld, but it also has a new water park called Aquatica that has drawn rave reviews from tourists all over the world. And compared with Las Vegas or New York, a weekend in Orlando is relatively cheap. So pack your sunscreen, bathing suit and beach towel, and say hello to Mickey for me.
