C E L E B R AT E Co-ed Style It’s no longer a requirement to separate your bachelor and bachelorette party by guys and gals; consider a joint party. Whether you’re planning a destination wedding, taking a special pre-wedding trip or staying close to home, a co-ed celebration is a fun icebreaker for friends who haven’t yet met to get to know each other before the big day. If you’re traveling, incorporate local culture with a group cooking class or take salsa classes to learn an impressive number you can show off during your wedding dance. A co-ed celebration can also be the perfect opportunity for you to integrate destination-specific activities into your plans so you don’t miss out on the things you want to do while you’re there. From surfing lessons in Hawaii to temple- trekking in Mexico or zip-lining through the jungle in Costa Rica, almost any outing can be adapted for a mixed group. 3 BAHAMAS Book a Caribbean cruise and beach-hop with your besties in the Bahamas. Close out the evenings at glitzy casinos or dancing to pulsating beats. 4 DENVER Escape to a picturesque lodge in the mountains, hitting the ski slopes by day and spending the night laughing over hot toddies by the fire. 5 CANCU N Think tequila tours and ancient ruins. Plus, there are pristine beaches, amazing cuisine and parties aplenty. What more do you need?
