Bachelorette

Julee, on February 2, 2022 at 3:07 PM Posted in Parties and Events 1 4
So we have been planning our wedding for over a year. We set a date when we booked our venue with the intention of giving ourselves time to plan and not be rushed. Also in hopes that things would be back to normal with restrictions, health, and such. We have a little wrench thrown into our plans as I found out this fall I’m pregnant and am currently between 19&20 weeks. Our due date is in June. Originally we had planned my 40th birthday party for this summer with a girls sleepover with my bridal party, my bachelorette was going to be a cruise in February 2023, and bridal shower June 2023 and then we marry 9/9/2023. Now we have to change our plans, no birthday party this year (that’s ok, not a big deal and we can do sleepover any time), bridal shower will have to be changed to May since it will be babies first birthday in June and don’t want people to have to keep traveling for us so much and close together. We are no longer going to be doing a cruise as I know I won’t be comfortable leaving on a cruise ship with a newborn at home (they will be around 7 months old). I’m now looking for new options, I’ve stumbled upon many but was hoping for you to share what you did for yours or for another bride, and also hoping since everyone is from all over you can give me more ideas than I’ve found with google research and Pinterest. Here is what I need:
we have a budget cap of $1000 each but that has to be for everything even food and obviously prefer to be more cost effective.
We are all located by Saratoga Springs NY in the foothills of the Adirondack for an idea of location for traveling.We are still open to travel but prefer to keep it a 6 hour drive at most but willing to consider train or even flying if destination flight is not expensive (like Hawaii or west coast- usually $500 or more for flights each) I know we all want to be able to be poolside or beachside and want it to be a relaxing time. A club would be fun but not a must. We are all in our 30’s with me being 40/41 at the time we will leave. The girls like wine too, I love hiking and outdoors but the girls are not on that page 😆 I’m thinking a resort or spa somewhere beautiful with nice weather? We will have 3 day weekend to do this and it can be anytime from February-August now to get ideal weather for the area we will be traveling to. We all still want to get away somewhere so as beautiful as our Adirondack mountains are and Saratoga fun can be we live here and have done it many times and want to do something different so please don’t suggest that. Thanks for reading this and thank you in advance for all of the help I know you ladies will give me 💚

    If you’d like to fly, we love the Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach in Florida, which is right on the beach with a beautiful pool scene. I also went to an amazing bachelorette party at Foxwoods in CT, which has an awesome party pool at the Fox Tower Hotel. There’s so much else to do on property, as well. The Gurney in Newport, RI is beautiful with a great pool and easy access to downtown Newport fun.

    Gurney I looked into and it was great until I saw the price tag. I didn’t even think of Foxwoods and haven’t heard of the Hyatt idea either, thank you so much!

    Where I live, we can get flights to Florida on Allegiant airlines for less than $100 (Miami, St. Pete, Clearwater, Orlando), and then maybe an airbnb so cost is split and you're all together Smiley smile Congrats on baby!

    CT girl here. Look into Waters Edge or other shoreline hotels. It’s only a 1.5-2 hour drive to Newport Rhode Island from New Haven, CT. There are many wineries in the Stonington Area. Mystic is nice. Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods are not a far drive.
