NYC BACHELORETTE PARTY IDEAS YOU WILL LOVE
1. GLAMP IT UP
"Glamping," otherwise known as glamorous camping, is a hot trend for good reason. Venturing into the great outdoors brings out the kid in all of us. Take a ferry to the Collective Governor's Island retreat for the most luxurious camping you have ever seen. Tents and shelters are provided, as well as gourmet food and activities. Massages, yoga, boat tours, and live music? That's camping on the next level! Enjoy drinks with lady liberty or challenge your friends to a lawn games tournament. Glamping takes care of all the necessities, and even adds plenty of luxuries. All you need to bring are your stories to share around the campfire.
2. GO THRILL SEEKING
There's nothing quite like an adrenaline rush, whether it's your first kiss, your first car, or your walk down the wedding aisle. These are the moments you can't wait to share with your closest friends, so why not create a moment together? Ride the 400-foot zipline across the Bronx River through the beautiful Bronx Zoo. Or get in on some high-flying action at the NYC Trapeze School. Dare your maid of honor and bridesmaids to endure the 12 drops on The Cyclone at Luna Park, then hop onto the notorious Sling Shot. Make sure to hire a photographer.
3. THROW A 5-STAR SLUMBER PARTY
Some of your best memories probably involve high school slumber parties. Late-night binges on junk food, while you sob through your favorite rom-com, or cuddle up through a horror film- it's the stuff friendships are made of. Why not recreate the perfect slumber party and add in a nice dose of luxury? Book the penthouse at The Dream, The Roxy, The London or The W, for a slumber party grown-up style. Forgo the chips and pizza for 5-star room service in hotel rooms. Trade in "truth or dare" for a rooftop terrace over Central Park and in-room bar for wine tasting. Hotels put you near hotspots in the big apple, but you might just want to stay in!
4. LIVE THE YACHT LIFE
Boats have the unique ability to create a feeling of opulence and simplicity combined. What's more luxurious than boarding a private yacht or taking a river cruise? Sail before the veil. The break from landlines and office cubicles also simplifies life for a moment. Set sail on a bachelorette party activity that provides a break from reality, and let the fun begin. Customize a sea-themed cocktail and encourage sea-lover's attire that is instagram-worthy. Whether it's yacht finery like silk scarves and bold sunglasses, or the quintessential striped shirts and boats shoes, you can live the yacht life at your party.
5. ZEN OUT AT THE SPA
As friends you've weathered beauty trends together. Maybe you both tried bangs, or gave each other highlights. You held her hand while she pierced her ears, or made face masks with sugar and honey. Your bachelorette party provides a chance to beautify together in a calming restorative place. Get your glow on before the big day, but this time, trust the experts. Book a spa day at the Juvenex Spa - it's open 24 hours day! Get nail art, shape your brows, get a seaweed facial, or steam your stress out in a clay-baked sauna. Pre-wedding jitters will be whisked away with your spa day bachelorette party.
6. WIND DOWN WITH WINE
NYC is home to some of the most extravagant wineries, from Long Island to the Hudson Valley. Why push past strangers at crowded bars to wait for a drink, when you can imbibe in style with your best friends? Go on a taste exploration of the breadth of wines the city has to offer. Learn how to select and pair your wines while reminiscing with your girls. You may even find some favorites to serve on the wedding day!
7. TAKE A PRIVATE TROLLEY TOUR
Life is about the journey- and this is especially true with friends. From school trips, to road trips, to that epic drive to spring break - some of the most fun happens on the ride. And what's more freeing than blasting your favorite tunes with your girls while you cruise through the city? Your destination is important, but the memories are made on the way. That's why a Trolley Tour of New York City is the perfect bachelorette party. The driver picks you up wherever you like and takes you wherever you want to go whether it’s dances classes, Sex and the City tour, burlesque shows, Times Square, or the east side. Seating accommodates 34 guests and is positioned so you can socialize. Bring your own playlist to dance under 9-foot ceilings. Why choose one spot for your bachelorette party, when a trolley tour can show you them all. Take the trolley to the spa, bar hopping, cooking classes, bachelorette party games like scavenger hunts and pole dance, the zipline, the winery, or the penthouse. There's no limit to your adventure. Food, drink, dancing, and decorations are encouraged, so hop on board for the ride of your life!
