Wherever you go, you’re sure to be greeted by down-home cooking and that famous southern hospitality. Your friends might even find a few souvenirs that they bring home as wedding gifts.
3. Treat Your Friends to a Homecooked Meal
Food usually isn’t the main event of bachelorette parties. But if you’re trying to make your friends feel at home in the country, why not treat them to a delicious southern-inspired meal? Kick off the night with a dinner of country favorites like chicken-fried steak or chili and cornbread. If you don’t feel like eating a full meal, try serving country-themed appetizers like biscuits with apple butter and fried okra. You might even get your friends to try some new foods and discover some new favorites.
4. Have a Country-Themed Dance Off
When’s the last time you went square dancing? Challenge your friends to a country-themed dance off, complete with cowboy boots. For the winner, offer themed prizes like ten-gallon hats, potted cacti and red bandanas. And if you don’t feel like competing, simply crank up your favorite country tunes and lose yourself in the music.
5. Go Horseback Riding
What’s more country than spending some time outdoors? Invite your friends to saddle up and go horseback riding. If you’ve never ridden a horse before, find a local ranch where you can take lessons. Take a trip through the nearest state park and enjoy the sights and sounds of nature. It’s a fresh, unconventional way to celebrate your life before your big day. You might even find that it’s more rewarding than a night of partying and drinking.
6. Take a Camping Trip
If horseback riding isn’t your thing, you can still have fun in the great outdoors. Rent out a campsite and treat your friends to a weekend camping retreat, complete with music, decorations and bonfires. You’ll have so much fun that you might not want to come home!
