The months leading up to a wedding come with many rites of passage for brides ― bridal showers, saying “yes” to the dress, and of course, the bachelorette party.
While bachelorette parties can take different forms, these festivities typically involve the bride celebrating this exciting new chapter of her life with her nearest and dearest. It might be one night out on the town or a full weekend getaway.
In the age of social media, however, bachelorette celebrations have gotten increasingly over the top. People are spending wild amounts of money on elaborate itineraries with bespoke themes, fancy photo backdrops, coordinated wardrobes, and even designated event planners.
Meanwhile, seemingly everyone has horror stories of conflicts between attendees, budget miscommunications, overly demanding bridesmaids, failed compromises, logistical challenges and more. Amid the chaos, some brides have found a peaceful alternative to the bachelorette tradition.
Enter the “solorette.”
