Marriage may not be the end of a fun life, but it is the end of single life. Bachelor and bachelorette parties celebrate a person’s last night as a married man or woman. These parties are also known as the hen, stag-dos in the UK, and Jack and Jill parties in Australia. 

Thomas Thurnell-Read, a sociologist at Loughborough University, describes these pre-wedding festivities as a rite of passage. When a young person switches from one phase of life to another, it’s an opportunity to celebrate with friends and family. Holding gendered-rituals like bachelorette parties to mark the end of being single has been a tradition since the 17th century. 

Modern bachelor and bachelorette parties in the 21st century are high-influenced by pop culture; for example, movies like the “The Hangover.” People spend a ton of money on their party arrangements and travel. 

According to a wedding site, The Knot, the average bachelorette party costs $537 per attendee in 2018. The activities involved in these parties include travel, accommodation, gifts, and food. From skydiving to destination weekends, and from wine tasting to a low-key spa evening, girls now have plenty of options to choose from.

But if you’re on a budget and are looking for the perfect girls’ night, here are some creative ideas to get you started. 

Go Glamping

What’s better than an adventurous yet glamorous get-together with your girls? Plan a camping trip with your friends where you’ll spend the night under the stars. There are various hotels and resorts that can help you arrange the perfect bachelorette camping party, with numerous amenities. 

You can add a little glam to your camping endeavor with fresh wine, steaks, manicure stations, and a movie screen.

Arrange A Crafternoon

Are you a group of artsy women who would like to spend the last day of single life doing what they’re best at? A crafternoon is the solution to all your bachelorette party needs. From flower arrangements and pottery painting to DIY candles and wedding favors, you and your friends can express yourselves in multiple ways.

Book a pottery-painting venue for the day, spend quality time with your friends in matching t-shirts and use your artistic skills to make memorable souvenirs for the bride.

Plan A Classic StayCation

Sometimes, all you want to do is stay home in your PJs instead of stepping outside to party. A staycation is the perfect idea for you and your friends if you prefer a cozy sleepover. 

By adding fairy lights to your bedroom, ordering take-out, watching classic rom-com, and wearing matching pajamas, you can have the most affordable yet memorable girls night before your wedding.

When In Doubt, Zen It Out

Are you a group of working ladies who are looking for a stress-relieving bachelorette party? Then a spa day is exactly what you need. You can now pamper yourselves by arranging a spa party at your local esthetic spa. 

You can now book a spa in London, Ontario, through their event management services. Have a zen evening with your friends with lash extensions, manicures, full-body scrubs, and numerous other services for the perfect end to bachelorhood.
