How to Plan a Bachelorette Party in Scottsdale
Learn how to plan a bachelorette party in Scottsdale with this day-by-day weekend itinerary, from a desert ATV tour to Old Town nightlife and brunch.
Planning a bachelorette party can feel like a lot, so here’s a simple, proven way to plan a bachelorette party in Scottsdale that keeps everyone happy from arrival to send-off. Scottsdale is one of the best bachelorette destinations in the country, with desert adventures, great food, lively nightlife, and plenty of sunshine. Use this day-by-day itinerary as your starting point, then make it your own.
Thursday: Arrive and Settle In
Flying in on Thursday gives you the whole day to land, unpack, and unwind. Travel can be unpredictable, so building in extra time for delays takes the pressure off. Use the evening to settle into your rental, catch up with your friends, and map out the weekend ahead.
Friday: Desert Adventure and Poolside Fun
Kick off Friday with the highlight of the trip: a Desert Dog Offroad bachelorette desert tour through the beautiful Sonoran Desert. You’ll each drive your own ATV or sand buggy with a guide leading the way, which makes for an exciting, photo-worthy morning. Prefer a different time of day? A sunset tour trades midday sun for golden-hour views.
Afterward, head back to your place and shift into relaxation mode. A poolside afternoon with music, drinks, and your closest friends is the perfect way to recharge before the evening.
Saturday: Hike, Shop, and a Night on the Town
Start Saturday with a morning hike for some fresh air and great views. Tom’s Thumb is a popular pick that gets the blood pumping without being brutal, and it earns you a good lunch.
From there, spend the afternoon at Kierland Commons, where you can shop favorites like Anthropologie, Athleta, and Tommy Bahama, then relax on a patio and watch the world go by. Once you’ve recharged, get ready for a night out in Old Town Scottsdale. Between the restaurants, bars, and nightclubs, there’s something for everyone in the group.
Sunday: Brunch and Goodbyes
Sunday mornings come early after a big night, so ease into the day with a great brunch before everyone heads home. It’s the perfect, low-key way to close out the weekend and toast the bride one last time before the wedding.
