Let’s be real: every bride knows that the best part of a wedding is the bachelorette party. Wives-to-be relish that one night (or… sometimes nights) for one last hoorah as a single lady, before diving into the picket-fenced vortex that is married life. Whether it be an evening with her besties at the local bar or a weekend getaway at the beach, a bachelorette party is an experience no bride should skimp on.

But if you’re going to do it, you should do it right—and these celebrity brides did just that. Here’s a list of 10 absolutely epic bachelorette parties we wish we could have attended, and ones you can model yours after. Go big or go back home to hubby, right?
Breaking Free Before Locking In: Ashley Tisdale
When musician Christopher French popped the question in August 2013, Ashley Tisdale was thrown the most envy-worthy bachelorette party for any millennial: essentially, a mini High School Musical Reunion. She, a team of girlfriends, and HSM co-star Vanessa Hudgens packed up and flew out to Miami, hitting up South Beach the way only besties know how.
The wife-to-be’s weekend was filled with naughty party games, sunbathing, water sports, and unforgettable social media updates to document the festivities. When they returned to LA on Sunday, Tisdale was tanned and ready for her big day. Just one question: how many times do you think they broke out in High School Musical show-tunes at the bar?
A Party to the Tea: Kelly Clarkson
Before Miss Independent became a Mrs., singer Kelly Clarkson made sure she went out with a bang. Clarkson and her close friends celebrated her marriage to Brandon Blackstock over cups of tea at the Marvelous Vintage Tea Party Co. in Austin. The girls were decked out in 1920's costumes and retro accessories, sipping from mugs of liquor-infused tea and cocktails.
The venue featured live music and dancers, described by owner Sophie Parrot as a “very saucy” reinvention of the traditional tea party. The staff is always in character, and sometimes, a dancer even breaks out in the Charleston. We’d cheer to that!
Dancing with the Dames: Julianne Hough
After a long two-year engagement with hockey player Brooks Laich, Julianne Hough had an epic bachelorette party in the works. This Dancing With the Stars judge spent her final days as a single lady with her girlfriends in the tropics, enjoying a beach-themed bachelorette bash. After landing at their gorgeous waterfront location, the girl squad kicked off the party with a round of cocktails—and kept them coming!
What followed was a weekend of sunbathing, dancing, and knocking back Don Julio tequila shots. While they did take a trip to the gym—because as BFF Nina captioned, “gotta work on the bikini bod when you go on a BEACHelorette,”—it doesn’t look like they had too strenuous of a workout.
A Party in Paris: Kim Kardashian
Bigger is better for Kardashian, and her bachelorette party didn’t disappoint. To kick off the Kimye wedding festivities, the bride-to-be and her ladies flew off to Paris to party with the French. Looking stunning in her Balmain mini dress, Kim went out for a "last supper" dinner—and then hit the Parisian streets.

They made a few necessary stops— visiting the Eiffel Tower, of course—and but enjoyed a relatively low-key evening, roaming Parie hand-in-hand. After Kim's first blowout bachelorette party in Vegas, this Parisian getaway was classy, refined, and deserving of any bride-to-be’s envy.
A Royal Affair: Pippa Middleton
Pippa Middleton, sister of Duchess Kate, was treated to a bachelorette party tailored for a queen. She might not have hit the English pubs and knocked back vodka shots with the locals, but her party didn’t disappoint. She, along with her family and close friends, hitched a private jet to a luxury resort of Meribel in France; while the boys enjoyed their own festivities in Verbier, the ladies stowed 100 miles away to Meribel, enjoying a girls-only weekend out of the spotlight.
According to Pippa's close friend, the bride’s go-to choice for a getaway was a weekend of skiing. So, they treated themselves in luxury catered chalet, staffed with maids and a chef “who ensured they were totally spoilt.” Showered with gifts by the owners of the resort, the small party left with twice as much luggage as when they arrived. A party fit for a queen!
A Pitch Perfect Party: Anna Camp
Couple and Pitch Perfect co-stars Skyler Astin and Anna Camp were in such perfect harmony that they celebrated their bachelor and bachelorette parties together, at the Cowboy Palace Saloon in California.

The joint party followed a girls-only dinner with Camp and her lady squad, where she and her friends shared a quiet dinner by the pool. But after a few glasses of champagne, Camp traded in her sparkly tiara with a white cowboy hat, complete with a bridal veil—and the party began. With co-star Brittany Snow as a party guest, you can bet the bar got rowdy. The coed group enjoyed a night of drinking, kicking heels, and old-fashioned country line dancing. Can you ask for a bachelorette party any more darn perfect?
Fancy, Femme, and Floral: Ashlee Simpson
She might have been engaged to hardcore Hunger Games actor Evan Ross, but Ashlee Simpson kept her bachelorette party soft and sweet with her girls. Thrown by older sister Jessica Simpson, the party of 20 enjoyed a bohemian-themed bash at Jessica’s LA home. Simpson and her besties donned flowing dresses and flower wreaths, celebrating Simpson's final moments as a bachelorette in style.
Jessica even surprised Ashlee with a “throwback” cake, featuring a framed retro photo of the bride-to-be. The boho bachelorette enjoyed a day of flowery fun with her gals—what lady could ask for more?
Engaged and in Glee: Lea Michelle
If she’s anything like her character in the hit TV series, Lea Michele wouldn’t accept anything below perfect for her bachelorette party—and even Rachel Berry would be begging for an invite. Before tying the knot with fiancé Zandy Reich, Lea and her ladies enjoyed a weekend-long party in Hawaii.

Their accommodations were absolutely luxurious, decked with a deluxe pool and spa, looking out over Hawaii's breathtaking tropical views. The girls kept it low-key, cuddling on the couch and kicking it back poolside. Even Lea can attest: it was the “best bachelorette weekend EVER.” Ms. Berry wouldn’t be disappointed!
A Disney Princess: Holly Madison
If anybody can rock a themed party, it’s Holly Madison. The bunny model relished her last moments as a single lady with a Disney-themed bachelorette party in 2013. The bash was held at a private home in LA that had been decorated as “The Haunted Mansion,” with a strict dress code of Mickey Mouse ears and Snow White ensembles.
Madison dropped the bunny outfit for the evening and sported an Alice in Wonderland costume, enjoying a night of party games, cocktails, and a haunted-mansion themed cake. After such a celebration, that bunny is ready to bounce right into marriage with her man!
Pretty Little Bride-to-Be: Troian Bellisario
Pretty Little Liars take on Europe! To kick off her marriage to Suits actor Patrick Adams, actress Troian Belisario and her fellow PLL co-stars hitched a plane and enjoyed week-long festivities abroad.
Their “party” (or parties) began over Labor Day weekend, as captured by co-star Lulu Brud’s Instagram post at the airport, with the caption, “Bellisario Gets Booted.” The squad flew to Greece and then to Capri, enjoying their joyride around Europe. With a week filled with wine, gelato, and good times, Bellisario set the bar high for her celebrations—and we wish we could have been there!
