Your step-by-step guide to planning the perfect bach weekend—without losing your mind.

Planning a bachelorette party is a big deal—especially when you're doing it from miles away. If you're an out-of-state maid of honor, bestie, or sister trying to pull off the ultimate send-off in Arizona, we've got you. At Valley Girl Bachelorette, we work with countless out-of-town planners every year, and we know exactly what it takes to make things seamless, stress-free, and actually fun.

1. Start Early—Like, Now

The earlier you lock in your dates and lodging, the better. Arizona is a hot spot (literally) for bachelorettes, and the best Airbnbs and activities get booked fast—especially in Scottsdale and Phoenix. Aim to start planning at least 4–6 months out if possible.

Need inspo? We’ve rounded up our favorite bachelorette-friendly Airbnbs in the Valley—check out our top picks on the blog or visit the Where to Stay page of our website for swoon-worthy homes that check all the boxes.

2. Stay Central (or Let Us Help You Get There in Style)

Scottsdale is the queen bee of AZ bachelorette destinations for a reason—walkable nightlife, stylish rentals, cute restaurants, and tons of Instagram-worthy spots. We always recommend staying in or near Old Town for easy access to all the fun without having to Uber everywhere.

That said, if your crew is eyeing a more off-the-beaten-path Airbnb, don’t stress—we’ve got you covered with transportation tips and trusted travel recs. Head to the Transportation page on our website for top recommendations and exclusive discounts with FETI when you book through Valley Girl Bachelorette.

3. Choose a Theme to Guide the Vibe

Whether your bride is a disco diva or desert dreamer, a theme helps tie the weekend together—and makes planning decor, outfits, and photo ops a total breeze. Bonus: it sets the tone for invites, party favors, and even the itinerary. At Valley Girl Bachelorette, we offer complete themed decor packages that bring your vision to life without the stress. From bold backdrops to custom signage and tablescapes, we’ve got everything you need to set the vibe—and then some.

4. Build a Bash-Worthy Itinerary (with Room to Chill)

Don’t overload the schedule. Plan 1–2 standout activities per day—like a boat day, drag brunch, or private chef dinner—then leave space for pool hangs or spontaneous exploring. Your group will thank you.

Need recs? Our Bach Adventures page is packed with tried-and-true experiences your group will actually love.

7. Keep It All in One Place

Create a Google Doc or use a group trip app like BACH to keep everything organized—think links, addresses, outfit themes, costs, and house rules so everyone’s on the same page. Want it done for you? We offer custom digital itineraries and invites that are as cute as they are functional—perfect for sharing with your group before wheels up.

8. Have a Backup Plan

Things happen—especially when travel is involved. Have backup ideas in case of weather changes, vendor delays, or group drama (we’ve seen it all). Flexibility = sanity.
