Outside the box bachelorette party activities

It has become almost impossible for a woman to get married these days without a bachelorette party. Some brides crave one last alcohol-fueled unhinged girls’ night out where the bride wears a silly veil and is tasked with completing semi-embarrassing tasks in the to-do list created by her gal pals. Of course, such a night would be deemed incomplete if the bride did not at least run around the city showcasing an astonishing assortment of the world’s most provocative toys. Other brides just want to go out for a few drinks while others choose to forego the alcohol altogether in exchange for a nice wholesome afternoon tea drinking session. Whether the bride in question prefers to engage in a little debauchery or not, it is evident that the modern bride prefers and appreciates a more personalized bachelorette affair. A night out in a seedy club pounding loud dance music may be the dream for some, but a bachelorette party can be so much more than that these days. A bachelorette can be anything that you want it to be as long as the celebration is made custom to the bride.  Your bride has dealt with a lot during the planning process and will be more than ready to kick up her feet as she has a great time with her girls. So if you are looking for bachelorette party ideas for the unconventional bride, here are some outside the box suggestions to help: Take a group class You may already be done with your school days but a group class can be a great way to bond with the bride before she walks down the aisle. You can take any group class just as long as it is something that the bride is interested in.  Some classes you can take include cooking or baking classes, mixology classes, pole dancing, and burlesque lessons- anything that you can think of can probably be taught. Don’t forget to BYOB if the class that you are taking does not serve alcohol. You still want to catch up and giggle together and alcohol can ensure that you loosen up for a great time. Go camping According to Kate Huber at NJGamblingFun,  “If the bride is a nature lover, then there is no better way to spend a bachelorette weekend than together on a camping trip. If you are not a big fan of bugs and all the creepy crawlies that usually make themselves available when sleeping outdoors, you can also try glamping, which is much more luxurious and glamorous than regular camping. With glamping, you can get all the outdoors bonding time that you need but with the bonus of all the comforts that you like.” Get a psychic reading Nothing can glue a group of girls together like the fear of the supernatural. And if your bride is obsessed with all things paranormal, what better way is there to celebrate her last days as a single woman than by connecting with souls that have crossed over? Check your local listings to find a psychic or tarot card reader that is willing to make a home visit. To include everyone and to make sure that all in attendance have fun, ask the bridesmaids and other guests to bring pictures of individuals that they want to connect with or come up with questions that they need to be answered about the future.  Before you go ahead and book your tarot card reader or psychic, you also want to make sure that you double-check with the bride and the rest of the bridesmaids just to confirm that everyone is at ease with the idea. Throw a sex toy party When a group of girls has gathered, when is talking about sex, sex toys and pleasure never been fun? Throwing an adult sex toy party for the bride could be just what she needs to let loose as well as prepare for her wifely duties ahead. You don’t need to have a reason to throw a sex toy party, but a bachelorette party is a perfect excuse. To make things fun and interesting, consider inviting a sex toy consultant that can walk you through some of the options available to you or check out this in-depth guide from Giftwits. To find a reliable one, simply search on Google and see if you can find some well-reviewed consultants available in your area.  Once you find a consultant that you like, make sure that you feel comfortable with them. If your personalities crash from the word go, it would probably be best to find another consultant that would be a better fit. Additionally, you want to invite open-minded friends to the party so that the party can be fun and entertaining for all. Go to a drag show Is your bride a big fan of Ru Paul’s Drag Race? Then nothing will come more appreciated than tickets to a drag show in your area. Sip mimosas and Bloody Mary’s as you dance and have fun with dolled-up drag queens. If your bride is not up for a night out, head out to a brunch show instead. Even if you live in a relatively small city, these shows are usually widely available. most shows require that you make reservations so ensure that you plan ahead. Attending a drag show is not only a great idea because you will get to have fun, but you will also be supporting the LGBT community so mind your manners and treat the performers with the respect that they deserve.
