Ahhhh, glorious spring! The warm weather has finally returned and we’ve switched out our dreary blacks and greys for our newest sundresses, shorts and sandals. What better way to celebrate the season and your friend’s upcoming nuptials than by throwing a bachelorette weekend on the lake? Get ready for your weekend of fun and sun with this simple planning checklist:

 

1. Find your spot

Beaver Lake, Greers Ferry, Lake Hamilton… Arkansas has lakes galore! Pursue all the options at Arkansas.com, and then reserve a house, cabin or hotel rooms for your crew before they book up (Hint, hint: Sites like VRBO.com make the process easy).

2. Get your party supplies

Because who doesn’t love bachelorette swag? Stock up with Incredibly Charming Paper & Gifts’ (ICPG) adorable Anchors Down, Bottoms Up! foam cups and Day Drinkin’ beverage napkins to use out on the lake. And if you really want to go all out, shop ICPG’s full lake collection.

3. Bring on the snacks

Make goodie bags filled with Arkansas products for the bridal party to enjoy after a long day on the lake. Mountain Valley Spring Water, J & M Cheese Straws, Wicked Mix and Izard Chocolate are just some of our personal favorites. You can even consider throwing in mini bottles of sunscreen to reapply on snack breaks!

4. Deck out the bridesmaids

We can’t get enough of floppy straw hats, “Life Needs More” tank tops and The Full Moon's bold tote bags for lugging lake gear back and forth from the boat. All these items make great party favors, too!

 

 

5. Share the fun

Last, but not least, don’t forget to take Arkansas Bride along for the fun by tagging us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. We’ll be at home envying your new tan!
