The Bachelorette has evolved. Once a one-night get together with friends, family and your soon to be mother-in-law, has turned into a long weekend party at destinations that promise to both awe and invigorate your bridal party, friends, and yes, should you choose, your future mother-in-law. Aspen is an ideal location for a bachelorette event thanks to its mix of sophistication and stunning vistas. In Aspen, there are places to break a sweat, to contemplate, meditate, and most importantly, places to celebrate the bride to be.
Here’s a suggest itinerary for a bachelorette weekend with Team Bride below:
Day 1: Warm Welcomes
With guests flying directly into Aspen, or nearby airports in Grand Junction, Eagle and Denver, plan to meet at a spot where guests can arrive, drop their bags and casually join the fun. We suggest getting together for happy hour and light bites at the Limelight Hotel Aspen. Order a few oven-fired pizzas, a cocktail or two and sit in the lounge as your arriving guests come and go. For late night fun, check the calendar and hit nearby Belly Up for live music from nationally touring artists.
Friday, Day 2: Beating Hearts
As the weekend kicks off, wake early and sweat it out at a private yoga session with Thug Yoga. Follow yoga with fresh juices, smoothies and a vegetarian lunch on the patio at Spring Café and then explore the Rio Grande on foot or bikes, taking in the beauty of the John Denver Sanctuary on your way. After some downtime, a shower and outfit change, begin the night with cocktails at Stranahan’s Whiskey Lodge or on the Wet Deck on the W Hotel rooftop followed by a long and glorious patio dinner at Campo de Fiori.
Saturday, Day 3: Sip and Savor
On your last full day in Aspen and spend some time perusing, nibbling and shopping at the Aspen Saturday Market. This farmers’ market has been running for more than two decades from June to October, and brings farmers, artisans and other vendors to town from all over Colorado. After lunch and more shopping, saddle up to Kemo Sabe where the bride and her bridal party can create custom cowboy hats for The Big Day. If you're visiting during the winter, spend the morning by sightseeing on the Silver Queen Gondola, soaking in panoramic views of the snow-covered peaks. Cap off your adventure with a lunch at The Sundeck, where you can warm up and take in even more breathtaking mountain vistas. And last but not least, that night raise a glass at a farewell dinner at Catch Steak, savoring the view of a final Aspen sunset for dessert.
Sunday, Day 4: Departure Day
Wake early and attempt (the best you can) to fit in the rest of your dreamy Aspen adventures before departing. The Aspen Art Museum has free admission, open Tuesday - Sunday year-round and its rooftop restaurant, Swedish Hill, a part of Austin-based MML Hospitality, offers a fine view of Aspen Mountain and Independence Pass as well a delectable pastries and matcha lattes to go.
Aspen offers the perfect blend of adventure, relaxation, and celebration for an unforgettable bachelorette weekend. From scenic hikes to custom experiences and gourmet dining, this mountain town ensures every moment with your bridal party is one to cherish.
