(introvert) Bachelorette Party

A paint and sip party, spa day, dinner and drinks, a sleepover complete with snacks and rom-coms.

I'm an introvert too. We are making candles, going to to eat for dinner and a comedy show for my bachelorette party

Just do something you and your group would enjoy - spa days, going for a hike, dinner and drinks, whatever you actually would want to do.

My bachelorette party started with some brunch, then we hit a Cubs game, and afterwards we went out for drinks near the park. It wasn't your stereotypical "let's get crazy!" party at all, but it was something my friends and I enjoyed doing.

My husband's bachelor party was the same deal - he and his friends took over my aunt's lake house for the weekend. Grilled on the deck, swam in the lake, just had a boys weekend. Do whatever it is you enjoy.

For my sisters we did dinner and went to a comedy club.

For mine - I've suggested dinner, bowling/mini golf and then having a slumber party/girls time complete with late night pizza, gossip, makeovers, etc.

I thought about the spa thing, but that would get expensive and I wouldn't expect my attendees to spend $100 on a party they were invited to. That's why I thought of bowling/mini golf, something like that where it's not too expensive. Paint parties would be a good idea.

Ok I have a few suggestions:

1. Game night/wine party

2. Scavenger hunt -- this kind of depends on where you live. There are companies that set up scavenger hunts in major cities. Otherwise it might be a bit too much planning for your MOH. **I live in Detroit and this is what we plan on doing along with some bar hopping

3. Comedy show

4. Old school slumber party. Movies, facials, junk food, truth or dare, the works!

5. Brunch. Can't go wrong with a classy brunch.

As long as you have good friends by your side I'm sure you'll have fun no matter what it is!

I agree with PP, those are all great ideas. One of my friends had a tea party & it was a lot of low key fun. Spa days, dinner + a show you want to see, a class of some sort (pottery, painting, cooking...) are all great & fun. I’m not as introverted as you are, but I don’t want to go to a bar for my bachelorette either.

Also I just want to pass some info that might be helpful:
- Quiet - book by Susan McCain - the best book about introverts
- Cognitive behavioral therapy - excellent for any kind of social anxiety (ex. not being able to open gifts in front of others, which sounds pretty severe)
- Toastmasters International - excellent for speaking in front of groups of people or presenting
Hope you have a great bachelorette!

I am not the bar type neither...but we do like drinking. My MOH and my FH's Best Man is going to be coordinating an "amazing race" pub crawl that we will do early in the day (bride vs groom) and then the finish point will be at our friends house where we will finish by having a BBQ and continue drinking and hanging out with each other.

It could totally be anything you enjoy! I didn't want to go out to the clubs or anything like that so we went to Disney World for the day! We live in Florida so we had the luxury to drive down for the day and we went to Magic Kingdom.

We're going axe throwing and just going to local breweries. I didn't want anything big for the same reason.

If you and your group still wanted to do more of a "bar" type thing (and depending on location and weather of course) you could try a pedal pub. You can rent them out as a private group or go with randos. You get a nice little tour of the area, get to stay out of the stuffy overcrowded bars, and get a little extra wedding cardio in .

Pedal Pub

Bowling, Axe Throwing, Cooking Class, Painting or Sculpting Class, Movie night at home, go to a nice movie theater that serves food, camping, hiking, yoga class, workout class, go to a spa, spa night at home?

You can do anything! I just recommend you spend some quality time with your female (and male) family and friends before you wed.

I also found cupcake and cake decorating classes at a famous local bakery. That's what we'll be doing for mine and maybe dinner afterwards.

You could go to a play or a show! Depending on where you are, there could be some great options. You can always do gifts at the dinner beforehand.

If your open to unconventional look for a Drag Queen show! Down here in LA they have Drag Queen Bingo and a show for brunch. Totally fun, outside of the box, and something you'd never forget!

Or maybe a spa day? Always nice to treat yourself!

Fellow introvert here. Also I am easy to please and an inner child of 5 years old probably but in adult years im 31.

Most of my friends and cousins live in a different state so I had about 6 of my girls hang for a day. I didn't want to make it a whole big deal or obligation to force people to spend a ton of money to stay at a house when they live in the same city.

I had some out of towners asking to make it more of an event to make it worth coming in for 🙄.

My friends asked me what I wanted; I said ice cream, puppies, and a massage.

It was in NYC on a Saturday.

We started the day with brunch at a cute french spot.

During brunch they told me that I was going to get a massage by myself. Went to that and it was great.

Next we were to meet at the park for lunch. My friend asked me to meet at her place on the way and she came out with a dog that she borrowed for the day.

At the park my other of my friend brought her fresh born baby, like 2 weeks old, and her husband. We had a picnic and the girls brought some games to play.

We then broke for a bit and met up for dinner and drinks. We thought about going out and dancing but I was getting a bit sick so decided not to and had a long day in the sun anyhow.

I had no regrets doing the opposite of a bachelorette party and it was exactly what I would have planned for myself!

Don't feel pressured to do things you're supposed to do. I'm immune to peer pressure so I get that. Close your eyes and imagine your favorite or perfect day. It could literally be a sleepover with your best friend or massages in your respective rooms.

Thank you to everyone who gave input on this. I greatly appreciate it all and I hope you all have a wonderful wedding day.

We did a slumber party for mine and it was amazing! We borrowed my MIL's house while they were out of town (with approval!) so everyone would have a bed to sleep in. We had pizza, watched a movie, chilled in the jaccuzzi and pajamas were mandatory.

We also planned some painting (a la Bob Ross) and to bake some cakes (penis shaped, because my sister has a credit card.) We're still a fairly rowdy bunch so a few of us still got drunk and there were still crazy sex stories being shared.

It was amazing and I wish I could have time like this with my best friends every month.
