There is no shortage of things the internet will tell you your bachelorette party needs.

Matching everything. Personalized everything. Seventeen different accessories everyone will wear exactly once.

Some of it is fun. Some of it will be forgotten at the Airbnb. And some of it actually makes the weekend better.

If you're going to spend a little extra, these are the add-ons we'd put the group-chat budget toward.

‍

Have the Fridge Waiting for You

‍

You know what's not a particularly exciting first activity of a bachelorette weekend? The grocery store.

Skip the post-flight run for water, snacks, mixers and breakfast supplies and have the fridge stocked before everyone arrives instead. It's one of those extras nobody thinks to take a picture of, but everyone appreciates the second they walk through the door.

Naptown Bach handles fridge stocking for bachelorette weekends in the DMV area alongside their party setup services, so you can show up to your rental with the essentials already waiting. No grocery run. No figuring out who has a car. No sending three people to the store and realizing an hour later that nobody told them to buy ice.

Do Your Future Self One Favor

‍

Not every bachelorette add-on needs to make it onto Instagram.

Sometimes the best thing you can spend money on Friday is something Saturday-morning-you will be deeply grateful for.

Book an IV or recovery service to come to the house. Order a giant recovery brunch. Stock the fridge with electrolytes before the weekend starts. Or simply leave enough room in the itinerary that nobody is being asked to put on cowboy boots before noon.

You don't need an elaborate recovery plan.

You just need one small sign that whoever planned this weekend was thinking ahead.

‍

Make the Souvenir Part of the Plan

‍

Matching bachelorette gear is fun. Matching bachelorette gear you would voluntarily wear again is even better.

Instead of ordering another round of identical favors, turn the souvenir into something everyone gets to make themselves.

Los Angeles Cowgirl brings a mobile Custom Cowboy Hat Bar straight to the party, where everyone can design their own hat with custom bands, accessories and hot-iron branding. So you still get the group moment without requiring twelve people with twelve completely different tastes to agree on the exact same hat.

Plus, the activity doubles as the souvenir.

Add One Completely Unnecessary Surprise

‍

We support responsible trip planning.

We also support adding exactly one thing to the weekend for no reason other than knowing everyone is going to lose it when it shows up.

Enter Sugar Wood.

Their playful waffle and dessert kits can be delivered straight to your Airbnb, hotel or party venue for a brunch surprise, late-night treat or DIY decorating moment with the group.

Is it essential to the success of your bachelorette weekend?

Absolutely not.

Will everyone immediately understand why you ordered it?

Absolutely.

Spend the Extra Money Where Everyone Benefits

‍

Here's our rule for bachelorette extras: they should make the weekend easier, more memorable or more fun.

A fridge already stocked when everyone arrives? Easier.

A recovery plan after the big night? Your future self says thank you.

An activity that doubles as something you'll actually take home? Memorable.

A surprise nobody technically needed but everybody immediately starts taking pictures of? Fun.

The best bachelorette weekends aren't necessarily the ones with the most stuff. They're the ones where someone thought about the little details that make everyone say, “Wait, this is actually so cute.”

Spend the extra money there.
