Tip #27 to Planning a Canadian Destination Wedding in Banff, Canmore, Lake Louise and Jasper – Consider a Bachelorette Party in the Mountains.
Yesterday we talked about Bachelor Parties and how the mountains are an adventure playground perfect for an alternative to the traditional bachelor party. Today, it’s all about the Bachelorette (or stagette if you prefer)! Although mostly enjoyable, planning a wedding can at times be stressful. A mountain getaway with the girls is a great opportunity to decompress and have fun with your closest friends. You don’t have to fly off to Vegas to have a memorable girls getaway and you don’t have to be an adventure girl to enjoy the mountains. Your getaway can be relaxing, adventurous or anywhere in between! If you’re lucky, your friends will already be thinking about planning a bachelorette party in the mountains for you. If not, it’s best to drop a few hints!
The key to a mountain bachelorette party is to consider activities that afford opportunities to reconnect and catch up in a casual, relaxed setting. Consider the bride’s personality and interests of the group when planning activities. Are they an outdoorsy group up for a day of snowboarding, or would they rather spend the day checking out the shops and relaxing at the spa? Whether you’re planning a day trip or a full weekend getaway, there’s nothing like the fresh mountain air and beautiful scenery to get everyone relaxed and ready for fun.
While planning a bachelorette consider everyone’s budget and try to do activities that everyone can do, so that no one is left out. There’s also lots of great hotels to suit any preference or budget. So what are some activities you could do in the mountains? Here are just a few suggestions for activities to consider depending on your group and the time of year:
- skiing or snowboarding
- shopping the many boutiques and souvenir shops
- spa treatments at the many wonderful spas
- a mountain gondola ride
- wine tasting
- hiking or biking
- yoga
- a sightseeing trip
- zip-lining
- skating on a frozen pond
- rock climbing
- canoeing
- heli-hike, heli-yoga
- camping weekend
