Sober Bachelorette Party Invitation Wording

Here's the good news: sober bachelorette party invitations aren't that different from ones you've likely seen before.

Or, you can focus on celebrating the bride-to-be together as a group. Below are a few sober bachelorette party invitation wording ideas, but feel free to get creative and come up with your own!

Sober Bachelorette Party Ideas

You don't have to go to a club or a boozy brunch for an amazing bachelorette party. Here are 14 creative sober bachelorette party ideas everyone will love.

1. Amusement Park Outing

Is there anything better than a roller-coaster-induced adrenaline rush? Goodbye, wedding stress! Hit the park in matching tanks, personalized fanny packs or custom sneakers and spend the day on your favorite rides and eating your go-to snacks.

2. Spa Day

With the wedding approaching, your friend could likely use a little TLC. Plan a day of pampering at a nearby, full-service spa for the ultimate chill bachelorette party. Enjoy anything and everything from mani-pedis and facials to hot stone massages and mud baths.

3. Outdoor Adventure

If your friend doesn't enjoy being cooped up inside, have her party reflect that. Get outside with the crew, let loose and enjoy the fresh air with apple picking, canoeing, rock climbing, or a leisurely hike. If you'd rather have a relaxing day, consider renting a boat or heading out to the beach with your besties for fun in the sun. Don't forget to pick up matching hats or sunglasses for everyone.

4. Brunch, Lunch or Dinner

Try a new trendy restaurant or head to your favorite local spot for a decadent meal with your group. Without the cost of drinks to worry about, you're free to indulge in extra apps, desserts, decorations and maybe even a private room. Extend the festivities by going for blowouts and mani-pedis beforehand so you can roll up to the restaurant feeling fierce.

5. Group Classes

You can find a class for almost any activity, whether it's painting, pottery, cooking, baking, DIY crafting or even mocktail mixology. Now's your chance to try something you've always wanted to do alongside your besties. Not only will everyone learn a new skill, you'll also get to spend the time bonding. Afterwards, get a meal together and share your favorite part of the class.

6. Escape Room

This is the brainy sober bachelorette party idea you've been looking for. Try this hands-on challenge for some serious prewedding bonding. If you can solve the puzzles and escape the room, you can easily figure out what color bridesmaid outfits to order.

7. High Tea

If you're searching for an extra-classy sober bachelorette party idea, consider scheduling a high tea. Go all out with flowers, finger sandwiches, macarons, petit fours, scones, clotted cream and a variety of teas. You can easily host a tea in someone's home or splurge with reservations at a fancy local tea room or hotel.

8. Ghost Tour

If your friend loves ghost stories and goose bumps, most towns and cities offer ghost tours to show off their unique, spooky history to willing customers. If you think your group can handle it, a moonlit ghost walk through your city's haunted corners would be anything but boring. Just make sure everyone is comfortable attending before making the plans!

9. Slumber Party

You can't go wrong with a classic sleepover. Gift the whole group matching PJ sets and slippers, offer crave-worthy bites and watch all the best wedding movies until you can't see anymore. Feel free to take it one step further: plan personalized games, hire a caterer for an amazing dinner, or rent a photo booth and find a stylist who'll come to you for in-house blowouts and makeovers.

10. Workout Class

If the guest of honor is always at the gym, plan a sober bachelorette party she'll absolutely love. Take hip-hop Pilates, get Zen at a yoga session or push yourselves in spin class. The rush of endorphins will have everyone feeling happy and refreshed (especially great for the bride-to-be). Get green juice, smoothies or a yummy meal afterwards for even more bonding.

11. Group Retreat

Ready for the ultimate bonding experience? Reconnect with yourself and your besties at multi-day retreat focused on unplugging, mindfulness, nature and self-love. Escape to a dude ranch like Nine Quarter Circle Ranch in Montana for the Dare to Detour retreat filled with horseback riding, hiking and fishing—or head to Vita Vie Retreat's Bella Boot Camp, in Delray Beach, Florida for spa treatments, long walks on the beach and clean, gourmet meals.

12. Road Trip

Staying sober means you'll have an entire squad of designated drivers (the perfect excuse to take a roadtrip). Spend a weekend exploring a destination the guest of honor absolutely loves (or has always wanted to see). Prep for the trip by packing everyone snacks, creating an amazing playlist, and gifting everyone matching hats or hoodies. Go the extra mile by scoping out fun activities to do or restaurants to try at your chosen locale. Psst: The Knot has bachelorette party guides for every major city, so read up to get the best tips for your trip.

13. Community Service

Find a cause your friend feels passionately about and do some good with the wedding party. Volunteer at a soup kitchen or Habitat for Humanity, sort books at the local library, help clean up a local park or plant flowers at a nursing home—whatever gets everyone excited to lend a hand. Finish off the day with a sweet treat to celebrate your sweet friend.

14. Themed Race

If you have a bride who loves to run on your hands, get together for a themed run (or walk) you'll never forget. Whether you choose a Color Run, Warrior Dash, Zombie Mud Run, charity 5K or another type of race, it'll get endorphins pumping and everyone bonding in no time. Plus, you can chow down on some delicious food after the fact.
