Winter weather doesn’t have to mean freezing your butts off in the snow all day. Create a bachelorette weekend that revolves around that cozy feeling that we all love.
Think snuggled up by the fire in a cabin, toasting marshmallows, and playing board games all weekend. Winter has so much to offer beyond outdoor activities. Here are some activity ideas for your weekend of R&R with your best friends:
1. Spa Day For The Bridal Party
A great way to spend an afternoon is at the spa. Who doesn’t love a spa day? And with a perfect backdrop of snow-peaked mountains, it makes for a unique experience.
You’ll have the best time relaxing in the hot tub together and unwinding in the sauna. A pro tip: Book special spa treatmens for the bride-to-be so she can fully relax before her upcoming big day.
2. Stay In A Cozy Cabin
A must-have for an unforgettable bachelorette party winter weekend? A cozy cabin! Make sure to book well in advance so you get the best choice of cabins that fit the whole group of gals.
An alternate idea is to book individual hotel rooms but there’s just something about sharing a winter cabin with your closest friends that is so special.
3. Laugh All Night At A Comedy Show
We don’t want cabin fever so book a fun activity outside of the house like a comedy show. You’ll still be nice and warm!
4. Warm Up At A Boozy Hot Chocolate Bar
After the comedy show, head over to cozy spot in town that makes boozy hot chocolate drinks. Warm up by the fire while enjoying your wintery drinks. Or and another great idea is to make your own boozy hot chocolate bar back at the cabin. Opt for a hot cocoa bar as a non-alcoholic version.
5. Book A Private Chef
Roasting marshmallows and smores over the fire is fun and all, but you do need to eat actual meals too! Treat yourselves to a private chef at the cabin as a way to celebrate the bride-to-be.
You’ll have the best time enjoying good food and good company!
6. Bring Board Games
With colder months comes indoor activities like board games. Don’t fret though – board games don’t have to be boring and drawn out.
These days, there is a plethora of fun and silly board games that will have all of the gals laughing. Choose some naughty games made specifically for fun bachelorette parties to make it a memorable night!
7. Go To A Cooking Class
The perfect way to spend an afternoon during a snowstorm is to do a cooking class. Seek out a class that focuses on wintery meals and local delicacies to fully immerse into the wintery bachelorette theme.
8. Enjoy Winter Wonderland
During the holiday season, many resorts and wintery villages have their own version of a Winter Wonderland. It might be a Christmas market or a full-on fair with fun rides. Soak in all things Christmas from candy canes to ice rinks.
