Planning a bachelorette party in sunny Arizona? You’re in for a vibe! Between Insta-worthy pool parties, desert adventures, and glam nights out, your suitcase needs to be as versatile as your itinerary. Here’s your ultimate packing list for a bachelorette party in Scottsdale or the Phoenix Valley — so you’re ready for every “cheers!” moment.
Daytime Essentials
☀️ Swimwear (x2-3): Think bold colors, cute cutouts, or themed suits for pool parties. And don’t forget a cover-up for hotel lobbies or brunch runs!
🕶 Sunglasses: Arizona sun does not play. Pack a stylish pair or two.
👒 Sun Hat: A floppy hat, fedora, or cute baseball cap = shade + chic photos. (Psst… our Valley Girl Bachelorette Diamond Package includes themed baseball caps for the whole squad — and you can also purchase them separately!)
👗 Casual Dresses/Rompers: Perfect for brunch, day drinks, or wandering Old Town Scottsdale.
👟 Comfortable Shoes: Whether you’re exploring boutiques, hiking Papago Park or Camelback Mountain, or strolling through desert gardens.
💧 Reusable Water Bottle: Stay hydrated in the desert heat, especially if you’re sipping cocktails. (Bonus: Our Valley Girl Bachelorette Essential and Deluxe Gift Bags include personalized stainless steel tumblers — included in our Luxury, and Diamond packages and also available to purchase separately if you’d love extras or want to mix and match!)
Night Out Must-Haves
Night Out Must-Haves
✨ Party Outfits: Bring at least 2-3 “going out” looks. Think sparkles, neon, or a western vibe if you’re hitting country bars.
👠 Heels or Dressy Sandals: Many Scottsdale clubs have dress codes, so level up the footwear.
👜 Small Purse or Clutch: For cards, lip gloss, and your phone.
💄 Makeup for a Glam Look: Go bold — desert nights deserve drama.
Themed Party Gear
🎉 Themed Accessories: If you’re doing Tropic Like It’s Hot, Pink Pony Club, or any fun vibe — pack the hats, wigs, or matching tees. (Valley Girl Bachelorette offers matching themed bachelorette tees in our Deluxe Gift Bags — and they’re also available to purchase separately if you want extras or different styles!)
🎀 Bride Sash/Bow: A must-have for the bride’s big night out. (We include a bride sash and bow in our Essential and Deluxe Wifey Gift Bags — and they’re also available to purchase separately if you’d like to customize your look!)
👯♀️ Matching Outfits: Tanks, swimsuits, or PJs for cute group photos.
Adventure Add-Ons
🥾 Hiking or ATV Outfit: Lightweight leggings or shorts, moisture-wicking top, and solid sneakers or closed-toe shoes. (Important: Hiking should be avoided in the summer months due to extreme heat in Arizona. Many trails, including parts of Camelback Mountain and Papago Park, close during high temperatures because it’s dangerous and can quickly become life-threatening. If you’re hitting the trails on an ATV, wear breathable layers you don’t mind getting dusty, and always follow safety guidelines.)
🧢 Hat: The desert sun is intense. (Valley Girl Bachelorette has you covered with themed baseball caps included in our Diamond Package — also available for separate purchase to match your adventure vibes!)
🧴 Sunscreen: SPF 30+ is your BFF. (Valley Girl Bachelorette includes sun care essentials in our Last Splash Pool Package — so you can stay protected while you party!).
Extras for Fun and Comfort
📸 Camera or Phone Tripod: For group photos without random strangers cropping you out.
👙 Pool Floats: Especially if you’re staying in a rental with a private pool. (Valley Girl Bachelorette offers our Last Splash Pool Package packed with themed pool floats, sun care essentials, cute water bottles, a pink YETI cooler, a pink JBL Bluetooth speaker, and more — so your pool party is next-level fabulous!)
🎲 Bachelorette Games: Icebreakers, drinking games, or trivia. (Every Valley Girl Bachelorette Decor Package includes our exclusive Valley Girl Bachelorette Game Basket, loaded with fun games and goodies to keep your party rolling!)
🩹 Mini First-Aid Kit: Blister Band-Aids are a must after a night of dancing in heels. (Our Recovery Kits come stocked with Band-Aids to keep you comfy and ready for more fun!)
🥤 Liquid IV or Hydration Packets: Desert + cocktails = dehydration if you’re not careful. (We’ve got you covered with Liquid IV included in our Recovery Kits!)
A Few Local Tips
✅ Layers: It can get chilly at night, even in the desert. Bring a light jacket or hoodie.
✅ ID Everywhere: Arizona clubs are strict on ID checks — no exceptions, even if you’re clearly over 21.
✅ Leave Room in Your Bag: For souvenirs, local shopping, or fab gifts you’ll definitely want to snag from Valley Girl Bachelorette
✅ Watch the Heat: Summer temps can reach 110°F+ in the Phoenix Valley. Always stay hydrated, avoid outdoor activities during peak afternoon heat, and wear sunscreen.
✅ Monsoon Season: July–September can bring sudden storms, dust (haboobs), and flash flooding. Keep an eye on weather apps if you’re planning outdoor fun.
✅ Dry Air = Dry Skin: Arizona’s desert climate can wreak havoc on your skin and lips. Pack moisturizer and lip balm to stay glowing. (Good news: our Recovery Kits — included in our Deluxe, Luxury, and Diamond packages — come with lip balm, and they’re also available to purchase separately for extra hydration on the go!)
✅ Respect the Desert: Desert plants like cacti look cute but are covered in painful spines. Don’t touch — or sit on — anything spiky!
