Grab your besties–it’s time to book your trip and head to Tennessee for a Nashville bachelorette party! Many publications have named Nashville a top bachelorette party destination, and I can tell you, as the owner and editor of Nashville Bride Guide, the bachelorette parties are taking over our city! The reason being, there is SO much to do here! From local shopping to renowned restaurants to ultra-Instagrammable murals, you’ll be sure to have the most fun weekend with your besties here in Nashville.

1. Honky Tonks

Yes, it is probably the number one reason bridesmaids choose to have a Nashville bachelorette party–the honky-tonks on Broadway! It’s the tourist attraction that everyone has to experience at least once. It’s an entirely different world than what we locals are accustomed to, but for bachelorettes, it’s where all the fun is at! Pro tip: Head out downtown during the day or on a weeknight to avoid large crowds. Also, check out Robert’s Western World–my favorite honky-tonk!

2. Shopping

There are SO many amazing local shopping destinations in Nashville! With some really sweet little shopping pockets, you’ll for sure want to take your girls out to 12 South, Hillsboro Village, East Nashville, and even Downtown Franklin if you have time! Snag a snarky greeting card at Apple & Oak, buy some much-needed basics at Vinnie Louise, explore the incredible candle scents at Geny’s Nashville, and more!

3. Murals

Not to mention, all of these shopping destinations have incredible murals! Yep, you and your besties are going to want to create some new profile pics in front of these Nashville gems. Who doesn’t love a reason to snap some photos to remember these once-in-a-lifetime moments? If you’re looking for a great list of mural destinations in Nashville, Greta Hollar knows her stuff!

A night out for drinks is a must, so be sure to hit up Barcelona Wine Bar or one of the hotel rooftop bars like the AC Hotel. Plus, if you’ve got a hankering for some sweet treats, check out Jeni’s Ice Creams, Five Daughters Bakery, or even No Baked Cookie Dough.
