Let’s face it: male strippers at a bachelorette party are not every girl’s cup of tea. In fact, about 52% of brides-to-be report that they prefer not to have a stripper-centric bachelorette party. So in this case, what are some other great bachelorette party ideas for a fun and memorable time for the lovely bride-to-be?
A Spa Day
Or, at the very least, mani/pedis! The bachelorette party budget may not allow for an entire spa day, but manicures should be feasible. And let’s not forget the best part of mani/pedis is getting to sit and chat with good friends.
A Nice Dinner
As in, a really nice dinner. All the girls should get dressed up and head to the bride-to-be’s favorite high-end restaurant. Drink, dine, and dish…and then go back to someone’s house and watch a movie.
Bowling Party
Bowling is just a suggestion. The sport can be anything that the bride-to-be is into: kayaking, rock climbing, kickboxing. Bowling seems to be a safe bet that everyone will enjoy.
Camping
…Or even “glamping”. Maybe grab all the girls and spend a couple nights roughing it (or not so much) outdoors. Swimming, hiking, lots of photo snapping: sounds great, right? Camping is a bachelorette party idea that can really bring everyone together.
Cooking Class
Many brides-to-be choose (or their maid of honor chooses) to have a cooking class bachelorette party. Booking a professional to come to the house and give a gourmet cooking lesson is much appreciated and becoming very trendy.
Beach Getaway
Maybe if camping isn’t the group’s cup of tea, the beach is! Rent a cute Airbnb or maybe a fancy hotel, and hit the sand together. A bachelorette weekend of nice restaurants and soaking up the sun may be just perfect.

Slumber Party
A cute and popular bachelorette party idea, a slumber party will allow the bride-to-be and friends to party old school. Late-night movies and gossip, fun snacks (hello, s’mores and popcorn!), and playing with each other’s hair and makeup are a must.
Murder Mystery Game
Perhaps one of the most fun bachelorette party ideas! Doing a murder mystery bachelorette party is a blast! You get to dress up and play/solve the elaborate murder mystery game together. This is a creative and unique bachelorette party idea.
Comedy Club
A comedy club may sound simple, but with the right comics, it’s so much fun. Make sure to find a comedian that the bride-to-be likes—otherwise a bad comic could turn the evening sour.
Wine Tasting Or Fancy Tea
Both are great in their own ways! Wine tasting is obviously a fun idea, but if wine isn’t everyone’s thing, perhaps tea is. Getting all dolled up for a proper tea—along with tea snacks—might be lovely.
Pack A Picnic
Getting all the girls together, preparing delicious food, and packing it all up for a big picnic in a gorgeous spot could be the recipe for a truly outstanding bachelorette party.
Fortune Teller
Strippers aren’t the only ones who can provide entertainment at a bachelorette party. Many brides-to-be enjoy a fortune teller or psychic predicting everyone’s future. Whether it’s taken seriously or not, having a fortune teller can be a fun time.
No matter what bachelorette party ideas you come up with, the most important thing is to have fun together and make amazing memories for the bride-to-be.
