The Ultimate Bachelorette Party Guide to Palm Springs

October 17, 2018

If you’re planning a bachelorette party in Palm Springs, you’re in the right place.

This past weekend we celebrated my best friend’s bachelorette party in Palm Springs. Eight of Britt’s closest friends from Kansas to Nashville to Chicago came together on the West coast to celebrate her! While we had such an amazing time, there were months of planning that needed to happen in order to ensure all ran smoothly on bach weekend. I’m sharing my top tips for throwing an amazing bachelorette party for your bride to be.

7 tips for throwing an epic bachelorette party


Pick a theme

Everyone loves a great theme! We went back and forth on this for a long time. We spent hours on Pinterest and ultimately decided on a pink theme (inspo pics below). We got pink glasses, plates, signs, cocktail napkins and more.

Lock down an amazing house

Whether you choose to have your Palm Springs bachelorette at a hotel or a house, there are plenty of options to choose from. Ultimately, this depends on your group size, travel style, and planned activities.

If you’re looking for a hotel, there are so many amazing places to stay.

  • ARRIVE Palm Springs
  • The Palm Springs Hotel
  • The Saguaro Palm Springs
  • The Paloma Resort
  • The Weekend Palm Springs

If you’re looking for an Airbnb/house, here are some great options I found that weren’t available for our dates!

  • We chose to stay in a Lakefront home right outside of Palm Springs in Indio
  • Regal luxe home with pool and incredible amenities (sleeps 8)
  • Mid-Century home with a pool/spa (sleeps 12)
  • San Jacinto Cottage walkable to downtown Palm Springs (sleeps 8)
  • Mid-Century home with cabana, salt water pool, outdoor kitchen (sleeps 6)
  • Ultra Chic luxury home with pool, fire pit, spa (sleeps 6)

Nail down the finances

This is HUGE. I was in charge of finances and it was helpful to have everyone pre-pay me and I just put everything on one credit card. Pre-paying for dinner reservations, groceries, activities, Uber, etc was such a game changer.  Anything that was outstanding was tied up at the end, making the entire process seamless for all of our ladies.

Create the itinerary

I’m a huge planer, so I loved creating some structure for our crew. While we were only 8 people, this becomes much more important the larger the group. You want to avoid those ‘hangry’ moments or constant ‘what are we doing next?’ questions. I created structure in the group by gathering everyone’s flight times for arrival and departure and making sure those that arrived together could coordinate their ride to the house. I also let everyone know what to expect, what to pack, and laid out the plan for the entire weekend on night 1.

Throw in some goodies

Our bride wanted a simple, classic party and opted out of the ‘Same Penis Forever’ signs and straws, etc. We wanted her party to be super tasteful.  We played crazy-Jenga, how well do you know the bride, and had a pajama fashion show where the bride could show us all her gifts and guess which one of us bought them for her.  If you’re traveling and don’t have room in your suitcase to bring all of these games, Joymode Rentals is great resource. The only other thing I wish we had during our pool days were Manservants. 😉 It’s also super important to leave your crew with a parting gift, we chose to do custom hats for everyone because it’s something they’ll be able to use again.

Have fun

This is probably the most important, yet cheesy tip I could give you, but it’s so important to remember. At the end of the day, you’re there to celebrate your girl and her soon to be marriage. While there may be some hiccups, have fun with it and surely nobody else will even notice. As long as you  have the basics above covered, you’ll be good to go!

Experiences > Things If you want to travel more Experiences > Things 

If you want to travel more in 2024, now is a great time to start. Shift the holiday focus from gifts under the tree and prioritize experiences that allow you to create new memories together 

Experience based gifts have always been important to us. We’ve been traveling together for 6+ years and experiencing things together is by far our favorite way to spend time together. Together we’ve explored ~14 countries and grown both individually and as a couple 

Finding ways to save where we can is huge. We don’t have  the desire to buy new things all the time. I also take advantage of credit cards, travel deals, and stack rewards (ex: a majority of our flights are booked with points). I have a free guide packed with lots of info to help you travel more for less 

Which do you value more, experiences or things? 💭

I can’t be the only one like this… If you me I can’t be the only one like this… 

If you mention going on a trip around me, you better be ready to follow through 

📍What’s the most spontaneous trip you’ve ever booked? 

Story time: Last week my friend called me and said she had to spend $150 on United if she wanted to hit status for 2024. That reminded me that I had $400 in credit to use by the end of the year, so I jokingly said “should we meet up somewhere?” 

Long story short, by the end of the day we had hotel, flights, and dinner reservations booked and now i’m in Vegas for my last (spontaneous) trip of 2023 💃

Friends who book the flights are my favorite 🫶🏼
