Are you getting married soon? Before you head off to your happily ever after with your prince charming, make sure to organize a bachelorette party where you and your girlfriends can have a blast. It’s the perfect way for you to say goodbye to single life with a bang and no regrets!
These days, many brides-to-be and their friends prefer to spend quality time together, getting pampered and having fun. Spa weekends are becoming popular, as they offer a chance to relax and indulge. Some choose to have their bachelorette party at a hotel, casino, or pub. Also, the rise of activity websites offering bachelorette party ideas is catering to this new trend, providing options for those who want to celebrate their last few days of freedom in unique and memorable ways.
At Discover Glamping we believe that glamping is not something that should be seen as being exclusively for just families and couples, but is for everyone. And that includes ladies who are looking for an interesting way to celebrate their last night/weekend of freedom before their wedding day.
If you’re a bride-to-be trying to save money for your wedding, dress, and other plans, but still want to spend quality time and have fun with your friends, a glamping trip is a fantastic option. It’s an affordable and memorable way to enjoy that special time with your girls without breaking the bank.
Cheaper Than Alternatives
Even if you are the one bride who would love to go to Paris or somewhere else abroad with your girlfriends before your wedding, you may not have the budget for it. Comparatively though, glamping is a lot less expensive and what’s more if you all agreed to pay a little towards the price of a group glamping trip, you could save a lot of money. Cheap – not everyone can afford to go abroad, by the time you have all chipped in it would work out cheaper. If for instance you were going as a party of 8 and two tents that both have the capacity for 4 people and cost 452 for 2 days, it will not seem as much if you are all paying a little bit towards it.
Luxury And Comfort
An essential part of any successful hen night/weekend is some form of pampering, relaxation and rejuvenation. By staying in a luxury/glamping form of accommodation you get all the best things that you love about 5 star hotel rooms in a beautiful setting
Quality Time With Your Friends
Apart from any induction that you may have to go through when you first arrive, you will normally be left to your own devices once you have settled in. This means that during your glamping break you will have the peace and quiet you need to spend time together, relaxing before the stress of your big day.
The Great Outdoors On Your Doorstep
Rather than a more traditional city-centred hen party/trip at a hotel, on a glamping style break you will have the great outdoors on your doorstep. This means that you can get in touch with nature by exploring together, taking part in a range of rural-based activities, or just sit in the fields chatting the day away!
Drinks Are Allowed
Rather than waiting in line in a busy bar you can simply bring a selection of your own drinks and keep them at your chosen glamping accommodation. Most sites are ok with groups and alcoholic drinks, as long as they obey the rules – so enjoy yourself girls but don’t be too rowdy and disruptive.
Some of the best options for brides and bridesmaids who are interested in organising hen party weekends with a glamping feel are listed below.
