Are you thinking of having your bachelorette party in Boulder, Colorado? With so much to offer for any kind of group, it’s not hard to see why! Take a look at how to plan the best Boulder, Colorado bachelorette party ever.
Travel Planning
Arriving
If all of the bachelorette party guests do not live in Boulder, the first thing to decide is how to get all of your girls there. Colorado has some beautiful roads leading into Boulder, so driving is a great option for anyone nearby.
For anyone further away, flying into Denver International Airport will be the best choice. From there you can take a taxi, shuttle, bus, or car and it will take between 45 minutes and an hour to get to Boulder.
Transportation in Boulder
If your group is likely to want to venture outside of Boulder for outdoor activities or nearby amenities (like cool dispensaries), you might consider renting a car to avoid the costs of long Uber rides.
However, renting a car adds liability and issues with designated driving your group may not want to worry about. To make sure all your girls can relax and have fun, consider getting your group around in taxis or a ridesharing service, or for a more glamorous trip, try a limo or a party bus. If you want a way to just get out and explore on your own for a while, you can rent bikes by the hour in Boulder as well.
Accommodations
Once you and your girls have decided on driving or flying into Boulder and transportation around town is figured out, finding somewhere to stay should be no problem at all. There are numerous hotels, bed and breakfasts, and Airbnbs to help create the vibe you are looking for. Be sure to book ahead though, as certain times of the year in Colorado can be busy.
Airbnb Tip: Check cleaning fees, check-in and check-out times, and rules about parties/large groups before quoting prices to the group or committing to a place.
What Types of Activities?
As far as planning activities for a bachelorette party, it is usually best to go with group ideas that everyone can enjoy. Typically, activities tailored to the bride and bridesmaids’ interests are the biggest hits, and the best for creating lasting memories.
If no one in your group is into being outdoors, for example, perhaps days and nights on the town are better suited. Or, if your group loves being outdoors, perhaps try to pick activities like hiking, skiing, or biking. Whatever your group enjoys doing, Boulder has something to make your bachelorette party special and unique.
Downtown
Downtown Boulder is a great place to start for any Boulder stay, and especially for a bachelorette party. There are unique shops, boutiques, restaurants, and breweries – pretty much anything you need to get your party weekend started right. Stop by a local brewery such as The Post Brewing Company for a few locally crafted drinks, dinner at one of the many restaurants, and a little shopping in between at Pearl Street Mall, America’s most famous pedestrian mall.
Nederland and Surrounding Areas
Just outside of Boulder, there are some hidden gems that are perfect for bachelorette parties. In Nederland, Colorado, for example, there’s a marijuana dispensary outfitted like a real castle, from a drawbridge to having your entire party treated like royalty. And to add a little girl power to your trip, there’s a one-woman owned winery just across the street.
420 Tip: Be sure to check that your lodging is 420-friendly before lighting up in the room, however edibles and topicals are fine anywhere.
Outdoor Activities
Outside of eating, drinking, shopping, and taking part in Colorado’s legal cannabis (as if that wasn’t enough), there are still so many other activities you and your girls can do to celebrate.
For those who love being outdoors, Colorado is home to a number of beautiful landscapes to choose from, for whatever activity you are planning. Your group could go skiing or snowboarding together, hiking in the mountains, go rafting, horseback riding – your possibilities are endless.
Try a Group Lesson
Another great option is to take a class together. Boulder has many options to choose from here: you could take a painting or cooking class, try your hands at wine tasting, take a yoga class together, and so much more. Check Eventbrite for more ideas – there are many virtual options too!
Take a Tour
Another option that is great for groups is to take your party on a tour. In Boulder, there are ghost tours, brewery and winery tours, foodie tours, outdoor activity tours, helicopter tours, and even a themed bus tour that has disco balls, saddles, and a rubber chicken.
Spa Day
What bachelorette party would be complete without a relaxing spa day where each girl can be personally pampered to their liking? Boulder and its surrounding areas are home to some great luxury and unique spa experiences that are perfect for your group.
Have Fun!
Planning a bachelorette party can be a lot of work, but the fun you will all have at the end will be worth it! Always remember to have fun, stay safe, and enjoy the friendship and love that brought you all together for this celebration.
