Bachelorette Packing List Items by Category

Before you start tossing things into a suitcase, first take a second to consider a few key details: How long is the trip? Are you flying cross-country or driving a couple of hours away? What's the scenery? Are we talking sapphire beaches, a mountain escape or a city crawl? Your bachelorette itinerary will shape everything from what shoes to bring to how many outfits you'll realistically need. Here's what to pack for a bachelorette party.

Outfits

Your outfits have the most variables and depend entirely on the type of trip. If it's a beach getaway, then you'll want suits, sandals and sun hats. If it's a big city shindig, you'll want some statement looks for party nights, walkable shoes and something for that group brunch. Also, consider the vibe of the destination. Nashville calls for cowboy boots, while a mountain retreat definitely means a flannel something.

For some more inspiration on specific products, though, we're sharing some of our favorite items to toss in your weekender or suitcase. From essentials (like travel-sized sunscreen) to just-for-funsies items, these bachelorette supplies are the little extras that can make your trip smoother, cuter and way more memorable.

Travel-Sized Facial Sunscreen

Sunscreen is a must year-round—rain or shine, mountain or beach, one hour in the sun or an entire day. ISDIN's Fusion Water Magic is super lightweight and comes in a teeny size you can toss in your purse, fanny pack or even pocket.

Cute Portable Charger

You'll be a lifesaver (for yourself and the crew) with a portable charger on hand, but not all are created equal. You want to maximize lightness so you don't feel weighed down, while still having a lot of power in the charging bank. Try one of Clutch's super sleek, lightweight chargers. (Make sure to choose the right one for your charging needs.)

Gemstone-Infused Eye Masks

Is it even a bachelorette party without PJs and face masks? For a fun twist, try the gemstone-infused eyemasks from KNESKO—there's even a diamond option that's very on theme. These are also super cute for bachelorette gift bags.

Polaroid Camera

We've come full circle with cameras. Modern-day Polaroids are an easy way to add some nostalgic flair to the bachelorette weekend, and they'll leave everyone with a little memento to remember the weekend. Go with a classic Polaroid option, or you can try the Fujifilm Instax Mini Link 3 Smartphone Printer.

Themed Bride Socks
