Planning a bachelorette weekend that hits all the right notes - nostalgic, stylish, and actually fun to pull off? Enter Camp Bachelorette. It’s our grown-up take on summer camp: cozy cabins, lakeside hangs, matching sweatshirts, and the kind of memory-making that feels as effortless as it does aesthetic. 

Whether you’re heading deep into the woods or just booking a chic Airbnb, this guide covers everything you need to plan a weekend that feels intentional, fun, and (most importantly) you - from packing lists to photo ops and all the s'mores in between.

Traditional bachelorette parties often revolve around a single night out, but Camp Bachelorette offers a completely different vibe:

• Morning coffees in the great outdoors instead of crowded brunch spots
• Matching camp sweatshirts that feel both cozy and frame-worthy
• Space for meaningful conversations with your closest friends
• Intimate happy hour moments by the campfire
• A thoughtfully paced weekend that leaves everyone feeling connected rather than depleted

It's the perfect way to celebrate your transition to marriage - surrounded by the people who matter most, in an environment that encourages both celebration and genuine connection.

The first thing to address? The key elements that will shape your entire weekend: the location, the overall camp vibe, and the dates. We usually recommend starting the process 3-6 in advance to give yourself enough time to plan and get the best prices.

Before making any major decisions, your maid of honor should gather crucial insights about:

• Budget comfort zones (because nobody should spend a lot of money they're uncomfortable with)
• Dietary preferences and restrictions
• Activity interests and energy levels
• Date availability to maximize attendance

This information allows you to create a weekend that honors both your vision and the comfort of your bridal party.

The ideal Camp Bachelorette venue balances several key elements:

• Natural beauty that provides both gorgeous backdrops and authentic experiences
• Comfortable accommodations with spaces for both socializing and restful sleep
• Communal areas perfect for gathering, dining, and connecting
• Proximity to curated experiences that enhance your weekend
• Appropriate scale for your group size

Here are some options to consider when deciding on your camp vibe:

• Lakeside cabins with paddleboards and pontoon vibes - think Lake Tahoe, CA or Lake George, NY
• Mountain retreats near hot springs and hiking trails - perfect in Asheville, NC or Park City, UT
• Luxury glamping sites with a side of wine tasting - try Paso Robles, CA or Hill Country, TX
• Renovated farmhouses with wide-open spaces and starry skies - check out spots near Hudson Valley, NY or Waco, TX
• Forest getaways with cozy fire pits and s'mores-ready setups — look in Big Bear, CA or Bend, OR

This is your chance to set the vibe before anyone even packs a bag. A cohesive invite and itinerary instantly makes the weekend feel intentional (and aesthetic).

• Send out digital invitations that match your camp theme - think playful, nostalgic, and on-brand.
• Build a detailed itinerary that balances planned activities with downtime (no one wants to feel overscheduled).
• Include guest info, addresses, and arrival times to cut down on back-and-forth texts.
• Use the Camp Bach Planning Bundle, which includes itinerary mockups, activity and games planners, guest info sheets, and more.

No more “Wait, were we supposed to bring hiking boots?” messages in the group chat. Share a curated packing list that helps everyone feel prepared and coordinated.

• Cover outfit themes, practical must-haves, and fun extras (like costumes or camp accessories).
• Don’t forget the essentials: sunscreen, swimwear, water shoes, cozy layers, etc.
• Our Camp Bach Planning Bundle includes a printable packing list + a checklist for welcome bags and hangover kits, so no detail gets missed.

Now focus on the elements that elevate your weekend from pleasant to unforgettable:

The most memorable weekends strike a balance between shared adventure and genuine connection. Choose a few meaningful standout experiences, not just “filler.”

• One signature activity that gets everyone involved. (Example:  kayaking, paddleboarding, or a scenic hike).
• A special meal centered around local flavors or a thoughtfully styled dinner setup (bonus if it’s under the stars)
• Low-key wellness options like a spa day, morning yoga class, or even just at-home face masks.

💡 Reminder: think through transportation plans ahead of time if you’re heading off-site.

Our Camp Bach Games & Activities Bundle makes planning the in-between moments easy. With printable games like Bachelorette Bingo, Campfire Confession Cards, and “Would She Rather?” they make it easy to blend structure and spontaneity.

Personalized details are what elevate a weekend from good to great. These essentials bring your theme to life in a way that feels both beautiful and useful:

• Camp Sweatshirts in elevated neutrals or a signature color palette - perfect for group photos, chilly mornings, and late-night fireside hangs
• Personalized Tumblers that work just as well for morning coffee as they do for signature cocktails
• Custom Field Journals for quiet reflections, inside jokes, or late-night confessions you’ll want to remember
• Canvas Tote Bags that go from packing list to lake day to everyday errand runs
• Tin Candles in sophisticated, camp-inspired scents that double as decor and take-home gifts
• "Happy Camper" Hats for sun protection 
• Friendship Bracelet Supplies that bring a nostalgic, personal touch to one of the weekend’s most-loved activities

Every item in our Camp Collection, from the signature sweatshirts to our candle scents, is curated with this experience in mind: elevated, effortless, and designed to help you create your own Camp Bachelorette magic.

When you're planning a destination bachelorette (especially one that involves road trips, cabins, or carry-on limits), every item needs to earn its spot in the suitcase. The good news? You don’t need a truckload of props to create a weekend that looks styled and feels effortless.

Here’s how to set the scene with decor that’s high-impact, low-effort, and easily packable.

📍 Perfect for: Cabin doors, bunk signs, or mini flags

Customizable paper pennants weigh practically nothing but deliver instant nostalgia. Print guest names for their "cabin assignments," spell out the bride's name over the fireplace, or stick them in mini vases as table flags.

📍 Perfect for: Entryways, bunkrooms, or selfie stations

These roll up like a T-shirt but unroll into a major moment. Use one as your camp entrance sign, hang it behind the mimosa bar, or create an Instagram-worthy photo wall.

📍 Perfect for: Welcome dinners, brunch setups, or games night

They take up just a little more space than disposables but make everything feel more luxe and nostalgic (like grandma’s picnic table, but make it cute). Bonus: they double as backdrops in a pinch.

📍 Perfect for: Welcome signs, itineraries, guest info sheets, activity stations, menus, drink tags, name cards, and more.

Printables pull the entire aesthetic together. When your colors, fonts, and style match from itinerary to drink station, it all looks intentionally styled - even if you pulled it together last minute.

📍 Perfect for: Dining areas, fire pit zones, and between the trees

They pack flat, hang in minutes, and make everything feel ✨magical✨. Drape them over your dinner table, twist around porch railings, or hang between trees if you’re out in nature.

Tote BagsA few more pieces that are easy to pack and instantly elevate your space:

• Tin Candles: Scented moments that double as take-home gifts
• Lunch Boxes or Tote Bags: Stack these by the door as welcome kits or table centerpieces
• Camp T-Shirts & Hats: Set out on bunks for an “official” gear moment

Let's break down the perfect flow for your weekend:

Create a seamless transition from everyday life to your curated camp environment:

Transform your arrival point into an experience everyone will remember:

• A beautifully designed welcome sign establishes your weekend aesthetic
• An organized "check-in" experience with personalized welcome kits
• Bunk assignments with a touch of camp nostalgia
• Engaging scavenger hunts that help everyone explore their weekend home

Our "Welcome to Camp [Bride's Name]" sign and customizable Bunk Assignments from the Camp Bach Decor Bundle create an immediate impact as guests arrive.

Set a relaxed yet special tone for your first night together:

• Everyone in coordinated camp tees or sweatshirts
• Welcome cocktails in custom tumblers 
• Low-key connection or ice-breaker activities to acquaint the group
• Initial group photos in matching gear

This is the heart of the weekend - bonding, belly laughs, and "remember when?" moments in the making:

Start with relaxed moments that set a perfect tone:

• Coffee circle with field journals and guided prompts
• A homemade breakfast     accommodating everyone's preferences
• Share recipes for the bride with our "Camp Cookbook" cards from our Games & Activities Bundle
• Optional gentle movement like a group stretch or yoga session.

Create an atmosphere that encourages genuine connection:

• Set up a premium s'mores station with our dedicated signage
• Light your camp-scented Tin Candles for the perfect ambiance
• Share stories using our Campfire Confession Cards or groom quiz
• Create a memory wall with     polaroids from the day

Keep the energy fun but never forced with a mix of playful structure and chill bonding time. Here are a few easy wins:

• Kick off friendly competition with Camp Olympics—team bandanas, silly relays, and maybe a three-legged race (optional chaos encouraged).
• Set up a Friendship Bracelet Bar with printable signage so everyone can craft while they chat.
• Sprinkle in a Photo Challenge using our “Camp Moments” prompts to help capture the weekend in real time.
• Host a DIY Wine Tasting or Cocktail Class using our Campfire Cocktails template - think themed drinks, not mixology school.

Not everyone recharges the same way, and that’s the beauty of Camp Bach. Plan for options, then let the group self-sort based on vibes.

• Nature girlies? Offer a low-key hike, paddle session, or guided walk.
• Need a minute? Set up cozy zones with blankets, snacks, and a good playlist for anyone craving solo time.
• Crafty types? Host a DIY hour - think hat decorating, journaling, or tie-dye bandanas.
• Or go fully unstructured and let the afternoon flow naturally.

Planning tip: Think of your itinerary like a menu - offer a few solid options, then let the group pick their pace. Your role isn’t to entertain everyone 24/7 - it’s to set the vibe and let the magic happen.

The itinerary’s done, the chaos is behind you, and now it’s time to wind down - or turn up, depending on your crew. Whether you’re feeling sentimental, silly, or somewhere in between, this night is all about connection, laughter, and a few core memories in the making.

If your group is all about meaningful moments, set the scene for a slow, sentimental night by the fire:

• Matching Camp Sweatshirts: Coordinated cozy looks = instant photo moment. These Camp Sweatshirts are made for s’mores selfies, late-night chats, and sleepy morning-after coffee runs.
• Elevated S’mores Station: Set out gourmet toppings and print our “Let’s Get Toasted” and S’mores Station signs from the Camp Bach Decor Bundle. Add lanterns or string lights for instant ambiance.
• Candles + Confessions: Light a few camp-scented Tin Candles (toasted marshmallow, pine, grapefruit = chef’s kiss) and pass around the Campfire Confession Cards for heartfelt or hilarious prompts.
• Letters to the Bride: Use our printable cards to write sweet notes, read them aloud, or tuck them into her Field Journal for later. Bonus: surprise her with a little keepsake or group toast.

If your crew is more about belly laughs than heartfelt speeches, Campfire Night is the perfect excuse to let loose—think cocktails, games, and just the right amount of campy chaos. Here's how to keep things fun without feeling forced:

• Campfire Drinking Games: Pull out a deck of “Would She Rather?” or the classic groom quiz and let the stories (and drinks) flow. Add in “Sip if…” or “Never Have I Ever: Bach Edition” for a little extra spice. Pro tip: Camp Tumblers keep your wine cold while the takes get hotter.
•  Cabin Trivia Showdown: Split into “cabins” and quiz each other on bride facts, friend group lore, or ridiculous made-up categories like “Who packed the most shoes?” or “Guess that celebrity camp crush.” A little friendly competition never hurt anyone.
• Campfire Story Swap (With a Twist): Go around the circle and take turns starting a dramatic fake story about the weekend, Mad Libs style. Or share the most unhinged thing you've ever done at summer camp (or just on a past girls' trip).
• S’mores Speed Round: Set a timer and give everyone 60 seconds to make their “signature s’more” with whatever toppings you have on hand. Vote for categories like “Most Instagrammable,” “Total Chaos,” or “Would Eat Again.”
• DIY Photo Scavenger Hunt (After Dark Edition): Use flashlights, firelight, or phone flash for a nighttime version of the Camp Moments Photo Challenge. Think prompts like “cutest crew moment,” “most questionable outfit choice,” or “glampiest snack setup.”

End the night with emotional moments that will be remembered forever:

• Use our Letters to the Bride cards for heartfelt messages
• Play the "Would She Rather?" game for late-night laughs
• Share favorite memories from the wedding planning journey so far
• Make plans for the next morning's adventures

Even after the campfire dies out and the group chat quiets down (for now), the memories stick around:

• Use our Letters to the Bride cards  or Camp Recipes cards to create a keepsake the bride can treasure forever
• Encourage everyone to share photos in a dedicated album
• Send thank-you notes with a favorite photo from the weekend

• Personal must-haves: toiletries, medications, sunscreen, and that one item they can’t travel without

• A little something for the bride: a note, a memento, or a meaningful inside joke - whatever fits your group vibe

Whether your group’s into low-key connection, lighthearted games, or a little movement in matching sweatshirts, these activities are designed to bring everyone together, with just the right amount of camp energy.

1. Camp Olympics
   Divide into teams and host lighthearted competitions—like water relays, trivia rounds, or mini obstacle courses. Add a simple prize or handmade badge to make it extra special.
2. Field Journal Reflections
   Use our Camp Field Journals and guided prompts to reflect on friendship, favorite memories, or upcoming milestones. It’s a meaningful way to slow down and connect.
3. Custom Camp Hat Bar
   Let everyone personalize their Happy Camper Hats with iron-on patches, embroidery pens, or fun pins. It’s a stylish, wearable keepsake and makes for great photos throughout the weekend.

   Offer a quiet morning moment with light movement outdoors. This can be self-led or guided by a guest who loves wellness, and it’s a perfect way to reset the group energy.
5. Photo Scavenger Hunt
   Our “Camp Moments” Photo Challenge includes ready-to-use prompts to help capture candid, memorable snapshots throughout the day.

   Set up a station with beads, thread, and tools for a nostalgic but elevated craft session. Use our printable signage for a polished, camp-themed setup.
8. Golden Hour Photo Session
   Plan a short photo session right before sunset, when the lighting is soft and flattering. This is a great time to wear your coordinated outfits or accessories.
9. Letters to the Bride
   Offer a quiet moment for guests to write personal notes using our Letter Cards. These can be read aloud, given privately, or collected as keepsakes for the bride.
10. Sunrise Coffee Club
    For early risers, a morning coffee gathering with Camp Tumblers and blankets is a peaceful way to start the day. It’s especially lovely after a full day of activity.

It’s always the small things. The handwritten note, the perfectly placed banner, the way the playlist hits just right while you’re sipping coffee in matching sweatshirts. These are the moments that turn a fun weekend into an unforgettable one.

Here are some little details that will make your Camp Bachelorette feel thoughtful, personal, and truly one-of-a-kind:

• Personalized welcome notes
  A short, sweet message waiting on each bed instantly sets the tone. It doesn’t have to be long - just heartfelt. Bonus points if it includes an inside joke or a favorite memory.
• Pennant signs on bunk doors
  Nothing says “you belong here” like a custom Camp Pennant with each guest’s name or “cabin” nickname. Hang them on bedroom doors or tape them above bunks for that full camp fantasy moment.
• The “Camp Moments” Photo Challenge
  Include a few printed prompts in your welcome kits or post them around the space - little nudges to document the weekend in a way that’s genuine, not forced.
• A cozy coffee station
  For the early risers or those slow, quiet mornings. Think: a curated coffee corner with custom mugs, honey sticks, syrups, and maybe a local roast or two. It’s calm, cozy, and totally on theme.
• Signature cocktails that feel personal
  Use our Signature Drinks template to name drinks after group inside jokes, the bride’s go-to order, or even the cabins. Add handwritten tags or drink stirrers for a finishing touch.
• Welcome bags with local love
  A mix of thoughtful and useful: mini skincare, trail mix, Advil, a snack from a local market, maybe even a sheet mask for the morning after. Add our Trail Mix Bar sign if you want to make it a fun arrival station.
• A space for memory-making
  Set up a Memory Wall using Polaroids, friendship bracelet tags, or Field Journal pages guests are willing to share.
• A playlist that feels like camp
  Music matters more than you think. Our Campfire Playlist is built to move with the moment - low-key in the morning, nostalgic at night. Let it play in the background and let the weekend unfold.

These little details aren’t just “extras” - they’re what guests will remember most. The in-between moments. The “you thought of everything” feeling. The magic of a weekend that feels like it was made just for your group.

Today’s bachelorette weekend is less about one big night out, and more about meaningful time with your closest people. A Camp Bachelorette brings that vision to life: cozy, personal, beautifully planned, and filled with moments that actually matter.

Whether you’re making friendship bracelets under the stars or sharing unfiltered stories around the campfire, this weekend is about connection. It’s a chance to slow down, celebrate your next chapter, and soak it all in with the people who helped get you here.

With our curated Camp Bachelorette Collection and digital bundles, planning your weekend feels easy and intentional. From custom signage and editable itineraries to photo prompts and ready-to-play games, everything’s designed to work together so you don’t have to overthink a thing.
