Gone are the days of getting white girl wasted and nursing a killer hangover to celebrate your bestie’s big day. In 2018 it’s all about the experience. Don’t think about it as being all about the booze, but more all about the experience. We’re not saying you shouldn’t throw back some mimosas, a champagne toast, or a flight of wine – just that it should be done with high style.
SPA Bridesmaid Bliss
Go for a spa adventure with all of the girls. Think mani/pedi, mini facials, and a massage session for the bride to make her feel special. If you can book it on a Sunday, there should be a restaurant in your area with brunch and a mimosa or bloody mary bar. Many restaurants do bottomless setups for a fixed price, which can be a great way to enjoy even more entertainment for less cash. If you’re not really into going to a spa, book a therapist to come to you. Another budget bridesmaid bliss day can be thrown right in the comfort of someone’s home. A budget alternative to mimosas is a ‘Sassy Sangria Bar’ that you can check out here: http://www.weddingfor1000.com/save-money-a-sassy-sangria-bar-replaces-a-full-bar/.

Bridal Party Game Night
A lot of brides really want all of the ladies included in their bridal party/bachelorette party. That means Grandma might not want to hit the town in a limo Vegas style. A game night is a great way to ditch the booze or at least lighten up on it, and still include all the special ladies in your bestie’s life. Create a cool eve with popcorn, snacks, and all the fun drinks. Mocktails are a great way to make everyone feel like they’ve got a cool drink in their hand. Then, get everyone in on some cool games like Bridal Shower Bingo, Purse Raid, or The Newlywed Game.

Destination Team Bride
Nothing says bridal party fun these days like a good old destination experience. Get outta dodge with all of the girls and do something fun. You don’t have to break the bank to travel. You just got to be a bit savvy. There are loads of airlines like Spirit, Frontier, and Allegiant that fly all over the U.S. for a bit of bridal fun. While you have to pay for a carry-on, it’s well worth the cheap flight price. If you’re looking to go a little further, check out WOW airline for international destinations in Europe.

We’re Kate & Nick Storey, and we created Weddeo because we couldn’t afford to get a videographer for our own wedding – and we’ve regretted it ever since. Fifteen years and four babies later, and we STILL wish every year that we had a wedding video of that one incredible day where everyone we love was all together, and we began our happily ever after.
