11 Creative Vegas Alternatives For Your Bachelorette Party

When the bride-to-be is hoping for a bachelorette party that takes place anywhere but Sin City, there are plenty of fun, Vegas-free options to choose from. Travel isn't always an option, but wedding planners Paige Appel and Kelly Harris of Bash Please told us why they love destination parties. "A weekend with your friends is so much better than just a night out with your friends, because that kind of feels just like girls' night — same old bars. But if you go away for the weekend, it's really more of a labor of love together."

With their advice in mind, we've rounded up a variety of getaway options, plus great ideas for staying close to home. Whether she's a fitness buff, a pop culture nut, or in search of something more low-key, take a look at these fun bachelorette party options for every type of bride.
