How to Plan a Camp Bride Bachelorette Weekend

How to Plan a Camp Bride Bachelorette Weekend

Gather your besties, lace up your hiking boots, and strike up the campfire—this bash is all about fresh-air bonding, cozy cabins, and s’mores with a bridal twist.

1. Choose Your “Camp HQ”

• Rustic lakefront cabins

• Glamorous canvas glamping tents

• A sprawling A-frame Airbnb in the pines

Look for a site with bunks (hello, camp nostalgia), a fire pit, and nearby trails or a swimming hole.

2. Design a Camp-Chic Invitation Suite

• Watercolor pine trees + crossed paddles for the main invite

• A packing-list insert (flannel? ✔ sunscreen? ✔)

• Return-address envelope stamp with a mini camp badge

Mail them in kraft envelopes tied with twine and a sprig of faux cedar.

3. Dress the Part

• Wide-brim ranger hats with personalized patches

Campfire Glam
