One of the easiest ways to hike up the price of a bachelorette party is deciding to travel, but if done correctly, it’s possible to get out of town on a budget! One way to save money while choosing to travel is by picking a location that doesn't require expensive flights and a trip to the airport for only a weekend trip. If the bride and her gal pals are up for it, plan a road trip and choose a city or town within driving distance. This will save everyone on both gas and hotel costs. Another option is to stay in someone's home instead of booking a hotel room. Not only does this save money, but it can also be more fun and comfortable by having the ultimate slumber party full of movies, snacks, and face masks! You can have fun games like bingo or trivia but with a twist! Make ordinary board games all about the bride or the soon to be newlyweds and have a few small gift bags for whoever wins. Remember the trivia game episode from Friends? That could be you and your squad having an epic game night, but hopefully no apartments are lost!
If you still have the travel bug and want to hit the airport, another way to save money when traveling is by picking a time of year that isn't peak season for the city you’re wanting to visit. By doing this you can avoid inflated flight and hotel prices and over crowded destinations. For example, if you're looking to go to
Miami, Florida for some bachelorette party fun, try going in September instead of prime time June. You'll still get that amazing warm weather without having to compete with every other bachelorette party group in town! If you would rather go to the east coast, California is much cheaper in October so
hit up Napa Valley to enjoy the perfect weather at a much better price!
When planning any type of vacation, activities are always one of the biggest expenses. However, there are many ways to enjoy popular tourist attractions while spending less. For example, many major cities offer free walking tours. These guided walks take visitors around the town and show all of the beautiful features to the city at little to no cost! Check out different city guides to find options for group activities that won't wipe out everyone's wallets! And don’t forget to take advantage of those group discounts! Some places will have a 10+ guest discount that can save some major change, so it can’t hurt to call and ask the places you want to go to try and save those few extra dollars.
