Planning tips
Book the big things first
The group dinner, cabanas and shows sell out weeks ahead on spring weekends. Put them on the plan with a note to book, so everyone knows what's set.
Plan for splitting up
Not everyone wants the sunrise hike. Mark those stops for if there's time, and set who's going so people know where to meet back up.
Keep money simple
Log costs as you go in Freya, split them between the people they're for, and leave the guest of honor out. Turn on Hide amounts if you want to keep totals quiet until the end.
Vote, don't debate
Put dinner spots or the Saturday night plan to a poll. The winner goes straight onto the itinerary.
Bachelorette weekend packing list
Party supplies one person handles, plus the outfits and essentials everyone packs. Add it to Freya and friends claim what they’re bringing.

Nashville, Scottsdale, Austin, Las Vegas, Miami and Charleston are favorites in the US: easy flights, nights out close together, and daytime plans like pools, beaches and live music. Pick the one that fits the guest of honor.
