Fall weather is the best for getting outside! You won't have to worry about the heat, and there’s just something about crisp autumn air that is so special. If you’re a newbie and really struggling with how to bring together bachelorette parties, take a look at these perfect, unique fall activities; they’re sure to spark some inspiration: 

Outdoor Activities

Fall is the perfect time to enjoy the great outdoors. Seasonal outdoor activities for a fall bachelorette party include visiting a pumpkin patch and carving pumpkins, apple picking, making pies, getting lost in a corn maze, and taking a nature walk.

Fright Night

Halloween is a popular fall holiday that can be incorporated into a bachelorette party. Consider visiting a haunted house, taking a ghost tour, or watching a scary movie! We promise you’ll never feel closer to your bridal party. 

We highly recommend trying out this Haunted Crawl in New Orleans, LA, where you’ll be curiously frightened with spooky tales of ghosts, witches, serial killers, and voodoo rituals! What’s not to like? 

Photoshoot With Foliage

Fall foliage provides a stunning backdrop for photos. Plan a professional photoshoot or take some candid shots with your phone while enjoying the scenery. Don’t forget the boomerangs— if you ask us, nothing beats a leaf-throwing fall boomerang. We recommend that you do some professional glam photography in Asheville, NC, and capture stunning fall moments with your squad.

Planning an apple-picking adventure is a delightful way to celebrate a fall bachelorette party. Consider visiting local orchards known for their picturesque settings and bountiful harvests. Are you a New York bride? Why not try this fun apple-picking day trip from New York with your besties?

But the retreat isn't complete without a mix of indoor and outdoor activities to keep everyone entertained. Why not set up a comfy area with blankets and pillows for a movie marathon or a night of classic board games? Or perhaps take advantage of the surrounding nature with a scenic hike. For the Denver bride tribes, there’s a hike in the Rocky Mountains with Insta-worthy photos you’ll cherish forever.
