Who says bachelorette parties have to be all-night booze fests complete with pink boas and suggestive straws? Whether you’re honoring the bride-to-be’s wedding fitness plans or just want to nix next day hangovers, this list of healthy bachelorette party alternatives are sure to get the healthy (but fun!) stamp of approval.
Get in Balance
Throwing a healthy bachelorette party doesn’t mean there can’t be a few drinks involved. The best thing to do is balance party plans with physical activity. Going out Saturday night? Keep night out plans relaxed with a couple of cocktails then head out the next morning for a hike, trail run, or beach walk.
Retreat
Plan a retreat style weekend complete with fitness classes or a personal trainer. Then end the shebang with massages, manicures, or a complete spa package for the ultimate in healthy luxury.
See You at the Races
How about planning and training for a 5K? Even if guests are in different cities, if everyone knows well ahead of time they can train then meet on race day. Then relax and give your feet a pedicure reward.
Get Zen
Sign up for a private yoga class. Most studios can schedule in private instruction if you give them a call with the details. Then you and the girls can de-stress while getting fit.
Home Cooking
Instead of going out for dinner have an in-home cooking party. Have each guest bring ingredients for a dish so that everyone can cook together, then share recipes at the end of the night.
Smoothie Bar
Nix the alcohol and make smoothies instead. Set up a smoothie bar with ingredients like coconut water, almond milk, spinach, avocado, various fruits and other green things and let everyone make their own concoction.
From Bar to Barre
Sign up for a ballet barre class. Places like Pure Barre in NYC offer total body workouts using ballet technique and yoga practices. Shop around your local area for something similar.
