While most bachelorette parties happen during the spring and summer, the fall offers a ton of unique activity opportunities. With great weather, gorgeous fall foliage, and one of the most fun holidays of the year, it might just be the best season of the year for getting your bachelorette crew together!
Go Apple Picking with the Girls
Enjoy the crisp fall weather while apple picking with your besties at a nearby orchard. Pack a picnic, or look for a farm that also serves food (hot apple cider and fresh donuts always hit the spot after an afternoon of apple picking!) At night, you can use some of your fresh produce to make fall-themed cocktails for a tasty pre-game.

Add Some Glitz & Glam to Pumpkin Carving
Pumpkins are one of the best parts of fall, so put a bachelorette party spin on decorating them. Rather than carving Jack-o’-lanterns from your childhood, opt instead for colorful paints and sparkly glitters for a fun and girly DIY project for the group. It’s the perfect afternoon activity for an artsy bride-to-be!

Organize a “Ghouls’ Gone Wild” Night out for Halloween
As if a bachelorette party wasn’t excuse enough to get dressed up, Halloween takes things to a whole other level. Plan a themed costume for the whole group or have everyone compete for the best costume. Your crew will surely get tons of attention at the bars!

Take a Hiking Trip to Check out the Fall Foliage
If the bride has an outdoorsy side, plan a girls’ getaway to a state or national park. You can spend the days hiking and taking in the scenery. Try camping if your group loves to rough it, or look for hotels located right outside the parks for a more upscale weekend getaway.
