Bachelorette Party- 2 nights?

I'd reach out to everyone else and see how they feel!

I know that if it were me, I'd be more than happy to get there Friday night! Most bachelorette weekends run Friday-Sunday anyways, so I don't think it would be asking too much of your party, especially since it wouldn't add any extra cost to anyone. I also don't see it as demanding in any way! It would probably work out better since you'd already be at your location when you wake up Saturday morning. Even though it's just a short drive away, I'd prefer already being there and having everything with me on Saturday, instead of worrying about packing and traveling the same day as the festivities start!

This sounds amazing to me! I know myself and my bridesmaids would really enjoy this and jump at the idea of a third night, and a sleepover style, at that! My bachelorette is Friday through Sunday, and we are all contemplating adding Thursday night just because we are so excited for the trip. It all, seriously, depends on your group. If you have a group chat, I would see what your girls are up for. You and your girls make the decisions! There's no answer you will get from any of us that will determine what you should do.

You said it was only an hour and a half -- if some girls wanted to go Friday and some wanted to go Sunday, you all could always split your carpool based on who could/wanted to go a night earlier. Just a thought!

My bachelorette party was 2 nights, but it was also somewhere 3 hours away. I personally like weekend long bachelorette parties. Every bachelorette party I have been to has been at least 2 nights.

You could always reach out to everyone, or have Mary do it, and ask if anyone would be interested in going down Friday and see what the general consensus is.

Agree with this! I love a long bachelorette trip. Mine is 4.5 hours away from where we live, and we all think we would appreciate a longer trip being that we're already driving that far!

One night is plenty. But do what works for you. I would not do an overnight unless everyone is in the same friend group and all agree, I personally would not feel comfortable with it.

That sounds like a lot of fun to me! The fact that your friend has offered her house and people won't have to pay for lodging is a huge bonus too. I would definitely go for the 2 nights, and the worst that could happen is maybe a couple of the girls would have to skip the first night, but that doesn't sound like it would be a big deal.

Just ask the rest of the girls if they'd rather do that, or just go Saturday morning. Then either do what the majority wants or make plans to take separate cars! No reason to overthink too much

I'd just have Mary check with invitees since its her home, my bachelorette party was in Vegas and I live in California. We left Friday morning and came back Monday night, I had no bridal party so it was literally my closest (sister, god-mother and 3 cousins), we are all similar ages and were all in relationships so it was a fair weekend, no one wanted to do anything out of control crazy but everyone wanted to do something fun. Since you'd go out Saturday would you stay Friday and Saturday night and drive home Sunday? Or would you and the group who came together all leave Saturday after your festivities? Also some girls may only be able to attend partial due to work, etc. My sister and I stayed Sunday to Monday just us two, it was amazingly fun!
