WHETHER YOU’RE LOOKING TO get pre-wedding wild, or just want a relaxing, fun time with your friends, Milwaukee has dozens of bachelorette party options. Here are just two plans to give you inspiration: one glamorous and a little boozy, the other low-key and laid-back.
Spicy
1. Get a Front-Row Concert Seat
LOW INTENSITY
A bachelorette party package at the live music venue Howl at the Moon lets you jump the line to a table right in front of the stage, plus you get a $40 gift card for food and drinks, a gift bag for the bachelorette and a “jello shot injector.” Even if you’re not feeling the music, enough injected jello shots will make this a good time.
It’s time to pick your Milwaukee favorites for the year!
2. Bar Crawl on the Pedal Tavern
MEDIUM INTENSITY
Powered by humans, the 16-passenger Pedal Tavern is a vehicle like no other. The mobile bar is ideal for a warm-weather event. Book a party, and let the driver guide you across the city between bars, clubs, pubs and breweries.
3. Take Group Boudoir Photos
HIGH INTENSITY
If your group is feeling especially bold and adventurous, consider taking them to one of Milwaukee’s boudoir photographers for a group photo session. Chrissy Rose Photography offers a bachelorette party boudoir photo session that includes a pre-shoot makeover.
Chill
4. Get Pampered
LOW INTENSITY
Book a full day of spa services – from a hot basalt stone massage to remineralizing hydrotherapy bath – at The Pfister’s WELL Spa + Salon, where you and your squad can play your own music and enjoy drinks and snacks between treatments in a private lounge.
5. Go Zero-Proof
MEDIUM INTENSITY
The mocktail scene is vibrant and growing, with many local bars putting an inventive stamp on their booze-free choices. Consider a stop at Lost Whale, Boone & Crockett, Bryant’s Cocktail Lounge or Central Standard, which incorporate ingredients like zero-proof spirits, fresh herbs and house-made simple syrups in their stellar selections.
6. Break a Sweat
HIGH INTENSITY
Test your limits with a climbing session at Adventure Rock. With locations in Riverwest, Brookfield and Walker’s Point, the gym targets beginners as well as experienced climbers. You can also head to Turner Hall, which has its own climbing gym and offers private group classes for any level of skill.
7. Have a Bonding Experience
Mark your bachelorette party with Bonded Bracelets by Paloma Wilder. The local, custom jeweler creates thin, clasp-less bracelets – welded in place – that stay on until they wear through or you snip the chain. Stop into the studio at the start of the party to have Wilder custom-fit bracelets for your entire party.
