Bachelorette Party Ideas in Boston, Massachusetts

by Kristen Ciccolini

Overview

A bride-to-be's last hurrah as a single woman shouldn't be taken lightly, and Boston can be the perfect location for the festivities. Most neighborhoods have bars, clubs and restaurants within walking distance.
Bar Hop

Boston's different neighborhoods thrive with entertainment. Faneuil Hall with its low-key lounges to dive bars to dance clubs might be the most popular destination. Consider wearing matching T-shirts or an accessory that identifies your group as you hop from bar to bar. A party bus also would take the group safely around the city. Plus, you have a designated driver. Some buses might include free admission to clubs. For a nice dinner before the bar hop, consider the Top of the Hub restaurant in the Prudential tower.

Scavenger Hunt

Hand the bride a digital camera and a walking map of Boston for a scavenger hunt. You can create a list of clues or have a list of items for her to find and document. For example, find a man with a Red Sox tattoo; persuade a Boston police officer to handcuff the bride for a picture; find five men with the groom's first name. Visit Bachelorette.com for more ideas.
