As fun as the raging bachelorette parties in Nashville can be, not everyone is looking for a weekend filled with night clubs and cute outfits!
There’s plenty of other great ways to spend a weekend with your bridal party, but my personal favorite is a weekend away at a cabin in the woods.
One of the best ways to spend time with loved ones is surrounding a bonfire, going on scenic hikes, or jumping into serene lakes surrounded by trees.
A cabin bachelorette party offers some fun ideas for themes like the final rodeo, a camp theme, or even a lumberjack love story.
In these cabin bachelorette party ideas you’ll find suggestions for matching outfits, bridesmaid keepsakes, and everything else you could need for the best weekend in the woods!

Start the weekend off right with some camp themed goodie bags for all the guests!
Include items they might need during their stay like a hair mask if you’re by the lake and plan to do a lot of swimming, and Tylenol for hangovers.
The more you can keep the contents on theme the better! Bug spray and marshmallow roasters are other great options.
2. Stay-In Cabin Sleepover

If you choose to stay in a cabin for your bachelorette party, you probably did so because you love to be in nature and being disconnected from the world for a time.
Maybe the best option for you, then, is to stay in for the night and have a cabin sleepover! Enjoy the fireplace, make s’mores, and wear adorable matching pajamas with all your girls.
Nothing feels more cozy than hot toddies in a cabin late at night with your besties and a beautiful view.
3. Souvenir Tin Mugs

Some of my favorite household items are souvenirs I’ve collected from bachelorette parties and weddings over the years!
When done well, these keepsakes can be truly valuable to your bridesmaids and something they keep for years to come.
I know I personally would love receiving a cute camping tin mug like the one in the photo above. Not only can you use them on your trip, but they can use them for many camping trips to come.
4. Outdoor Scenic Brunch

The best cabin bachelorette party ideas are the kind that get everyone outdoors and enjoying the beautiful scenery.
Whether you’re in the mountains, the woods, or lakeside, a cabin is guaranteed to be surrounded by something beautiful.
Plan to have an outdoor brunch where everyone can enjoy the sunshine and fresh air. Plus, the photo ops will be endless!
5. Matching Swimsuits

Not every bride will be a going out on the town kind of bride, but that doesn’t mean you have to skimp on the fun matching bridesmaid and bride outfits!
I’m obsessed with these bridal party swimsuits and matching sunglasses for the whole crew.
If you’re at a cabin that has access to a river or lake, this is the perfect option for you. You’ll be able to get adorable photos, and have a great time out on the water with your party.
6. Take Home T Shirts

How adorable are these custom T shirts for your cabin bachelorette party ideas?
I know for a fact that if I received a shirt as cute as this one, I would be wearing it for YEARS after the wedding.
That’s why keepsakes for your bridal party are a great thing to spend money on. Every time that shirt is worn in the future, they’ll think of the bride and the great times they had at that wedding!
7. Patio Pregame

Here’s the thing about having a party at a cabin. You have to embrace the cabin lifestyle! This includes time spend on the patio.
Now planning a whole night around a patio hang probably isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but it makes for the perfect pregame destination.
Plan to have some easy drinks at the cabin that everyone can sip on outside. Patios make for beautiful photos, and it’s the perfect way to spend an afternoon at a cabin.
8. Western Themed Decor

Embrace the feeling of ranch life that being in a cabin in the mountain brings with your bachelorette party theme.
Cowhide accents, cowgirl boots, and maybe even a cowgirl hat for the bride are all adorable options that the bride will love.
You could call it the final rodeo like the bachelorette party above. Just make sure that there’s country music queued up and plenty of ranch water to go around.
9. Camp Cocktail Station

The best way to spend time outdoors at a cabin bachelorette party is with a cocktail in hand!
Make sure your party has all the refreshments it could want with a camp cocktail station. The best camp cocktails in my opinion are mimosas, bloody marys, and the infamous Midwest pickle beer.
Don’t forget to include NA options for any member of your party that is sober so nobody feels left out. Sparkling cider and carbonated waters are great choices!
10. Night Time Lights

What bride wouldn’t love walking up to a cabin decked out in twinkling lights for their bach party??
Surprise the bride with this beautiful set up for a night time party under the stars. Cabins are magical at night with the sounds of nature and the clear skies.
Two things to think about before planning an outdoor cabin party, though. Make sure you have plenty of bug spray, and plenty of blankets/hoodies in case temps drop at night.
11. Cabin Themed Cookies

I’m a sucker for themed cookies at any kind of life event and how hilarious and cute are these cabin themed cookies?
The flannel lingerie? Too funny and probably tastes delicious too!
A lot of local bakeries will make custom orders like this one, so use this picture as the inspiration for your order, or come up with fun ideas of your own for a great goodie bag item.
12. Uniform Flannels and Beanies

Don’t leave the flannel to the cookies, though! Similar to the matching bathing suits in the cabin bachelorette party ideas above, consider matching flannels and hats if in a cold weather climate.
I love how the bridal party has the matching black beans with gold text, and the bride has the bright white hat and flannel for contrast!
This is also a great going out outfit if your party’s only choice for bars are rural or small town joints and you don’t want to invite too many funny looks.
13. Backyard Bonfire

You truly can’t have a successful cabin stay without an all night bonfire. It’s the best part of camping and especially when it’s with your closest friends.
All you’ll need is plenty of s’mores ingredients, enough beers to last everyone the whole night, and firewood to keep the party going til dawn.
Some of the best conversations of my life have happened around bonfires. This bachelorette party idea will bring everyone back to the heart of why we gather with our loved ones for life events.
14. Mountain Hiking Trails

Now first and foremost, I have to state a disclaimer on this idea. It’s very important to make sure, before putting a hike on the bachelorette weekend agenda, that you have outdoorsy people in your wedding party!
The worst thing that could happen during a bach weekend is to pick activities that divide the group.
The point should always be to enjoy the time you’ll all have together, so make sure everyone in the group is on board! If so, then a hike is the perfect way to take in the serene nature of a cabin weekend.
15. Group Horseback Riding

I saved the best for last because the way that horse back riding with all my best friends in the mountains would be my actual DREAM bachelorette party!
Weddings should always be an excuse to plan events that are outside of people’s normal day to day.
Doing something fun and different that everyone can reminisce about for years to come is the ultimate cabin bachelorette party idea!
