Should You Have a Joint Bachelor/Bachelorette Weekend? Here’s Why We Say Yes!
The traditional bachelor and bachelorette parties are getting a modern upgrade—and we're here for it. Enter the joint bachelor/bachelorette weekend: a fresh take on pre-wedding celebrations that blends the best of both worlds. Whether you're looking to spend more time with your partner before the big day or simply want a more inclusive, relaxed vibe, co-ed wedding parties are becoming a favorite for today’s couples.
What Is a Joint Bachelor/Bachelorette Weekend?
Instead of separate getaways for the bride and groom, a joint event brings the entire wedding party together for one unforgettable weekend. It’s a chance to celebrate love, friendship, and fun in a setting that feels authentically you. Think group adventures, beach days, brewery tours, game nights, or even destination trips that balance downtime and party time for everyone.
Why Couples Are Choosing a Joint Celebration
1. You Share the Same Friend Group
If your wedding party overlaps or your friends already hang out together, it just makes sense to combine the fun.
2. It’s More Budget-Friendly
Splitting costs for housing, meals, and activities can ease the financial burden for your wedding crew—especially if you’re planning a destination weekend.
3. You Want to Make New Memories Together
Let’s be honest: planning a wedding can be stressful. A joint getaway gives you time to unwind and enjoy each other before the main event, surrounded by your favorite people.
4. Less Pressure, More Connection
Not every couple wants the wild, stereotypical “last fling.” Joint parties often feel more low-key and centered on connection, laughs, and experiences.
Planning Tips for a Successful Joint Weekend
Pick a destination that works for everyone. Whether it's a cabin in the woods or a beach resort, choose a spot with enough space and options for both chill and thrill.
Mix group and solo activities. You don’t have to do everything together. A little bride-only brunch or groom’s golf round adds variety.
Set expectations upfront. Whether you’re party-all-night people or early-to-bed types, make sure everyone’s on the same page to avoid surprises.
Create a schedule—but leave room for spontaneity. A loose itinerary keeps things organized without killing the fun.
