It’s time to break out your cutest winter coat, bachelorettes! ❄️⛄️

If you're looking to plan a BATCH party that's out of the ordinary, we highly recommend a winter celebration. With colder temperatures, sparkling snow, and the cozy ambiance of fireplaces and hot cocoa, winter is the perfect Insta-worthy time to chill (literally) with your besties before the big wedding day.

Honestly, when it comes to winter activities, there's no shortage of options for bachelorette parties. Whether you're seeking adventure, relaxation, or a little bit of both, there's a winter activity for everyone — and a destination for every party! Get cozy, warm up with a nice big glass of red, and let’s plan the winter BATCH of your dreams.

Outdoor Winter Bachelorette Activities

When it comes to planning an outdoor winter bachelorette party, the possibilities are endless. Whether you're a seasoned winter sports enthusiast or a first-time participant, there are plenty of thrilling activities to keep you and your friends entertained.

Skiing and snowboarding

Hit the slopes together, take lessons from experienced instructors, or just enjoy the stunning scenery and a hot toddy from the ski lodge. Whether you're a beginner or an advanced skier or snowboarder, there's always room for new experiences and tons of fun on the mountain. Newbies, consider hiring a ski or snowboard instructor to guide you through the slopes!

Snow tubing & sledding

With minimal skill required, anyone can enjoy these exhilarating activities. You can race each other down the hills or enjoy a relaxing ride while admiring the snowy scenery. Some winter destinations even have special tubing and sledding parks, where you can enjoy a variety of hills and twists.

Snowshoeing

Strap on some snowshoes and venture into the serene wilderness with your friends. You can take a guided tour or create your own path, admiring the winter scenery along the way.

Ice skating

Many winter destinations have outdoor rinks that offer picturesque views (did someone say Insta-worthy?) and a festive atmosphere. Whether you're a seasoned skater or a first-timer, ice skating is an activity that everyone can enjoy.

Safety first

Make sure you and your squad have dressed appropriately for the weather and the activities. It's important to wear warm and waterproof clothing, as well as appropriate footwear. It's also always a good idea to check the weather and slope conditions before heading out. For beginners, it's important to take lessons and start on the easier slopes to avoid injuries.

Indoor Bachelorette Winter Activities

While outdoor winter activities can be thrilling and invigorating, sometimes it's nice to take a break from the cold and enjoy some indoor activities. Fortunately, there are plenty of cozy and enjoyable indoor activities that are perfect for a winter bachelorette party.

Wine tasting

Wine tastings are a popular choice for any winter BATCH, and they're perfect for those who want to relax and unwind with some delicious vino. Many wineries offer private tasting rooms, which provide a more intimate and personalized experience. You can learn about the winemaking process, sample different wines, and even purchase some bottles to take home as souvenirs. Celebrating in Denver?

Cooking class

You can learn new recipes and cooking techniques, and then enjoy a delicious meal together. Whether you want to learn how to make sushi or master the art of French pastry, there's a cooking class out there that's perfect for your group.

Spa day

If relaxation is what you're after, a winter spa day is a great way to unwind and recharge with your friends. Many spas offer packages specifically for BATCH parties, which can include massages, facials, and other treatments. Some spas even have private relaxation rooms or hot tubs, where you can soak and chat with your friends. If you’re seeking a warmer winter BATCH and opt for Scottsdale, you have to book a **Personalized In-Home Massage at your vacay rental.

Crafting workshop

Whether you want to make your own jewelry, paint a canvas, or learn how to knit, there are plenty of options for craft workshops in many winter destinations. Crafting workshops provide an opportunity to learn a new skill and create something unique to take home as a souvenir. We love this **Candle Making Class in Chicago!
