8 Badass Bachelorette Ideas That You HAVEN'T Already Done

Bachelorette party fatigue is real. There are only so many times you can ask a woman to drink a pink cocktail through a penis straw before she starts looking forward to the end of wedding season.

Ideally, the party should reflect the bride herself, so if you have a badass friend, she deserves a badass bachelorette party. Instead of opting for yet another wild night out on the town, consider these eight unique — and quite frankly, kickass — bachelorette party ideas.

01
Hit Up a Music Festival

Hit Up a Music Festival

If you think a night out dancing is fun, imagine how much fun three days of dancing to some of the greatest performers in the world would be? Attending a big festival like Coachella, Stagecoach, Bonnaroo, or Outside Lands is something everyone should do at least once in their lives, so whether your bride is a festival fanatic or a first-timer, she's sure to have a blast.

Tough It Out
Tough Mudder

Tough It Out

There are very few of us who watched Star Wars: The Force Awakens and didn't immediately aspire to be Rey. Get on her level by competing in Tough Mudder as a team. Their Mudderella event is a five-plus mile obstacle course challenge designed for women, by women. It's all about working together to overcome their 12 to 15 signature obstacles, and the best part is, they hold them in some awesome destinations like Chicago, Colorado, and the Whistler Olympic Park in British Columbia, so once you and your girls have crossed the finish line together, you can head back to one of these gorgeous homes to relax for the rest of the weekend. Believe us, you'll have earned it.

03
Boat With Your Baes

Boat With Your Baes

If The Lonely Island taught us anything, it's that there's nothing cooler than shouting "I'm the king of the world, on a boat like Leo" from an actual boat. Thanks to Boatbound, the latest iteration in peer-to-peer (sorry, "pier-to-pier") sharing services, you and your friends can rent a boat for the day and hit the water in any one of their 2,100-plus cities. Even better: many boats are available with a captain, so you don't need to worry about boozing and cruising or, you know, learning how to dock an 80-foot yacht.

04
Take a Stand-Up Paddleboarding Tour

Take a Stand-Up Paddleboarding Tour

How often do you get the chance to work on your core and your tan at the same time? Stand-up paddleboarding is a great way to get some sun and exercise, plus it's a superaffordable way to explore your local coastline. And if you’re more of an adrenaline junky, Boat Trader can help you figure out which other watersports (from kneeboarding to barefoot skiing) will make your party feel like they're walking on water.

05
Play Dress-Up
Rent The Runway

Play Dress-Up

Remember that dress fitting/food poisioning scene in Bridesmaids? Yeah, this will be the opposite of that. Book a group appointment at a Rent the Runway boutique and have fun playing dress-up in outfits that you can wear out on the town together that night. The gorgeous designer duds will make you feel like celebrities without bankrupting the wedding party.

06
Go Whitewater Rafting

Go Whitewater Rafting

Whitewater rafting is like a roller coaster ride that requires teamwork, making it the perfect opportunity for everyone to bond and have a blast. Check out experiential travel company Natural Retreats and their whitewater rafting and waterfall tours in Highlands, NC, for a scenic outdoor bachelorette party that will be perfect for photo opps.

07
Redefine the Road Trip
Getaround

Redefine the Road Trip

A road trip is classic Americana and the perfect idea for a bride who has always wanted to check it off her bucket list but never found the time. With car-sharing site Getaround, you can rent luxury cars like this Audi and make planning the trip a breeze. We recommend traveling down the California coastline, with all its gorgeous beaches and national parks, and stopping along the way for pics, great food, and shopping.

08
Experience Natural Hot Springs

Experience Natural Hot Springs

Spa days have been done a thousand times, but the idea of a relaxing retreat with your best friends is as appealing as ever. So why not try out a more unique, natural version of a spa day, like the Oja Caliente Hot Springs in Taos, NM? A soak under the stars followed by some bubbly back at your cozy cabin makes for a memorable prewedding trip the whole party will appreciate and remember.
