Low key bachelorette ideas for a second wedding?

[Anonymous]

My friend is getting remarried. What’s a laid back activity for a group of 50-year-old women? My friend had asked for a weekend at the beach but most of our friends can’t get away due to family commitments. Cost is also a factor. Any suggestions for some place local to Montgomery County or the surrounding area?

I would vote for nothing. But if you must maybe just a nice dinner out?

+1. I cannot imagine asking friends to do anything more than show up for the wedding at this age.

OP here. This makes me feel better. When I asked our friends about this, few expressed interest. I felt guilty but now I feel like it may be normal to just want to go to dinner.

Agreed with PPs - a nice dinner out is plenty. A second-time bride (at any age) isn't really a bachelorette, IMO. Happy to celebrate the happy couple at the wedding, but pre-wedding hoopla is for first-timers.

For her 50th, my friend was treated to a visit to a local chocolate-maker, with tasting, in the afternoon before the birthday dinner. She loves chocolate and enjoyed herself.

Maybe you can treat your friend to a little outing like this?

Yep. 50-something here. I got married at 47 and it wasn't even my second marriage and I wouldn't have wanted anything beyond maybe a nice dinner out. Wouldn't even have expected that.

Winery might be nice, if she drinks wine.

no no no. It's barely acceptable that you're expecting guests for the wedding.

Spa day.

I think something like a nice dinner out, afternoon tea, or a trip to a winery with girlfriends would be appropriate. Anything more than a single event is too much.

+1 I would be on board with any of these, if local. I'm past the point where I want to travel to attend a bachelorette party.
