Planning the Perfect Bach Weekend

Budgeting and Cost Splitting

Money can be a sensitive topic among friend groups. Setting clear expectations upfront prevents awkwardness later. Create a shared spreadsheet, collect deposits early, and be transparent about all costs.

Theme and Matching Outfits

A cohesive theme elevates the entire weekend and makes for amazing photos. Austin's vibe lends itself to themes like "Nash Bach" (cowgirl/country), "Last Rodeo," or sophisticated wine country aesthetics. Popular themes include:

• Disco Cowgirl: Sparkles meet Western
• Coastal Cowgirl: Beach vibes with a Texas twist
• Wine Country Chic: Elegant and Instagram-worthy
• Neon Nights: Perfect for 6th Street adventures

Accommodations

The right rental makes all the difference. Look for Airbnbs with pools, outdoor spaces, and room for the whole crew. Popular neighborhoods include:

• Zilker/Barton Hills: Close to downtown, great pools
• East Austin: Hip area, walkable to bars
• Lake Travis: Waterfront properties for boat day access
• South Congress: Central location, walkable to shops

Daytime Activities

Brunch Culture

Austin takes brunch seriously. From bottomless mimosas to aesthetic interiors, the city delivers unforgettable morning experiences.

Top picks include:

• Jacoby's Restaurant & Mercantile
• June's All Day
• Loro (Asian smokehouse brunch)
• Café No Sé

Spa and Wellness

Balance the party with relaxation. Austin offers everything from luxury day spas to unique wellness experiences. Popular options include Milk + Honey Spa, Viva Day Spa, and mobile spa services that come to your rental.

Lake Travis Pool Parties

A day on the water is a bachelorette essential. Whether you rent a boat or post up at a waterfront restaurant, Lake Travis delivers. Book a party barge, rent a pontoon, or spend the day at Volente Beach or Lakeway Resort.

Instagram-Worthy Photo Ops

Austin's murals and scenic spots provide the perfect backdrop for group photos the bride will treasure forever.

Must-visit spots:

• "I Love You So Much" mural (South Congress)
• "Greetings from Austin" mural

Party Planning Details

Party Favors and Décor

Custom touches make the weekend special. Austin has great shops for bachelorette supplies, or order ahead online. Consider custom tumblers, matching swimsuits, a photo banner, and personalized koozies.

Playlist Creation

The right music sets the tone for the entire weekend. Create a collaborative Spotify playlist and let everyone add their favorites. Mix in nostalgic throwbacks, current hits, and songs meaningful to the bride.

Fun Activities

Beyond bars and boats, organized activities keep the energy high and create bonding moments. Consider:

• Wine tasting tours in the Hill Country
• Two-stepping lessons at Broken Spoke
• Pedal pub or party bike tours
• Pool floaties and yard games at your rental

Nightlife

Austin's nightlife scene offers something for every vibe:

• Rainey Street: Bar-hopping through converted bungalows with patios and food trucks
• East 6th: Hipster bars, dive bars, and craft cocktails
• West 6th: Upscale lounges and dancing
• Dirty 6th: Classic Austin chaos (not for everyone, but memorable)

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How many days should an Austin bachelorette be?

A: Most groups do Friday-Sunday (2-3 nights). This allows for a pool/boat day, a night out, brunch, and recovery time. Some groups extend to Thursday-Sunday for a more relaxed pace.

Q: What's the best time of year for an Austin bachelorette?

A: Spring (March-May) and fall (September-November) offer ideal weather. March is especially popular due to SXSW energy, but book early. Summer is hot but great for lake days if you can handle the heat.

Q: How do I make sure everyone has a good time with different budgets?

A: Be upfront about costs from the start. Plan a mix of free activities (murals, hiking) and splurges (spa, nice dinner). Allow opt-outs for expensive add-ons without pressure.

Q: Can Party On Delivery stock our Airbnb before we arrive?

A: Yes! We can deliver a curated selection of wines, champagne, seltzers, and mixers so drinks are cold and ready when you check in. Order in advance for a stress-free arrival.
