I have to say, after visiting Nashville, TN for the first time this last weekend, I think Nashville is the official Bachelorette capital of the United States!! Once upon a time, I feel like Las Vegas was where everyone wanted to go for their Bachelor/Bachelorette trips, but I don't think that's the case anymore! With so many benefits of being a bride on Broadway, here's a list of the best things to do in Nashville for a Bachelorette Party!
BRIDES! If you're reading this, make sure to also send this to your MOH (Maid of Honor) to give them ideas for the perfect Nashville bachelorette!
**I also saved soooo much time (and headaches lol) by using The BACH app! You just have each girl in your party download the app, and you can create an itinerary there, split expenses between the group, and even book group activities!**
Example Itinerary
I personally didn't want to have a set itinerary for my Bachelorette party, but we did make sure to go online a couple of weeks before the trip to score some great brunch/lunch reservations for our group, especially since we were seating 10 girls (at most places in Nashville 8 or more guests require a reservation)!
Here's a sample itinerary I made (from places we actually went) for the perfect weekend in Nashville:
Where to Stay for a Bachelorette in Nashville
You definitely don't have to stay right on Broadway to have a good time in Nashville! Getting around is very easy whether you're walking, ride sharing or scootering!
My group stayed in an VRBO called The Duke 9 about 10 minutes outside of Broadway, and it was absolutely perfect. The house had a couple porch swings and even a rooftop lounge area which was really nice to sit and drink coffee together in the mornings!
If you're wanting to stay in a hotel, I recommend either walking distance from The Gulch and/or Broadway. Just know the closer to Broadway, the more expensive!
How to Get Around
Like I said before, getting around Nashville is really easy! Ubers were great for our location and were fairly cheap, even during peak times! We could always get one within a few minutes, and it wasn't a problem getting XL Uber's for our larger group.
Once you're in the Downtown Nashville area, there's several electric scooters to zip around town on. There's almost every company available, so just download the app, sign up for a free account, and check in to your scooter!
Bachelorette Decoration Ideas
My Maid of Honor KILLED it with the perfect Bachelorette Decorations! They were a complete surprise and I couldn't have asked for more!
There were big BRIDE letters above my bed, adorable goodie bags for each one of the girls, disco/cowgirl balloon decorations, and even disco cups and the most adorable customized cookies!
Goodie Bag Ideas:
Silly Bach Koozies
Liquid IV Packets
Tylenol
Lip Balm
Candy
My MOH also created the cutest photobooth area with some adorable Party City decorations! She also brought a ring light (which was a total hit!) and some "just for the girls" card games!

Choosing a few places to wear themed outfits is so much fun!! There were tons of Bachelorette parties dressed up in different outfits just like us. Here's a few of my favorite:

Tips on Making your Bachelorette Flawless!
Don't let the bride in on ALL the details! Make sure she still has a few surprises ;)
Make your brunch/lunch reservations well beforehand. We started making ours about two weeks before our dates, and most places were already sold out or booked up! The earlier the better in my opinion!
Take a small crossbody purse or clutch with you, instead of a normal-sized purse. There are so many people on Broadway, having a full-sized purse would just be more trouble for you! I purchased this adorable BRIDE crossbody from Amazon, and it was perfect for going bar-hopping!
