A PALM SPRINGS BACHELORETTE PARTY


 

SO excited to finally share the most epic weekend in Palm Springs for my friend, Sarah’s, Bachelorette party. Again, I can’t take any credit for this Bachelorette party (huge shout out to Heather) but I’m here to share all the deets. The bachelorette party was huge. A total of 20 people. Finding a house in Palm Springs that fit us wasn’t the biggest challenge, you just need to act fast. here's the house we booked. We needed it to fit all of us but we also wanted a pool and space for all the activities. Also, here's a post on my top tips for throwing a bachelorette party.

I’ve also stayed in this house before! it’s such a gem if you’re looking to stay in La Quinta! The house fits 10, so it’s a great size for a Bach party too!

I stayed here too recently (June 2020). It fits 6 and is in a great location!

WHERE TO EAT

Rooster and the Pig: Vietnamese spot! Comes highly recommended! It’s a must!

Eight4nine: SUPER cute dinner spot!

Birba: Pasta and pizza, what more could you want?

Workshop Kitchen + Bar: A new take on American farm to table. On the pricier side but worth it!

Wilma & Frieda’s: Comfort food with a twist

Tac/Quila: Modern Mexican

Azucar: It’s such a vibe! Indoor, outdoor, rooftop restaurant with all the options. FYI it’s 21+

Sandfish: Sushi!

Lulu California Bistro: Perfect for brunch!

We knew we needed an itinerary to guide us through the weekend but we wanted some flexibility too. We kept Thursday and most of Friday open as people were coming in late and we wanted some pool and chill time at the house.


 

THURSDAY

Get there and get situated. Most people were coming Thursday evening or on Friday so it was a perfect day to chill and hang by the pool.

FRIDAY

Day time: Pool

7pm | Dinner @ Eight4nine (they were very accommodating with a large group)

10pm | Night out @ Toucans Tiki Lounge (call ahead if there’s a large group and you’re interested in a table)

SATURDAY

11am | Cabana at The Saguaro Palm Springs I This was a surprise for the bride and you can even decorate the cabana (it makes sense to get a cabana if there’s a large group as we just had to hit a $400 food & beverage minimum which is pretty easy with 20 people)

5pm | Back to the house for food, drinks, and pool time

SUNDAY

11am | Check Out

FRIENDS 25TH ANNIVERSARY POP UP - NYC

 
 

Check out the full video of the Friends 25th Anniversary Pop Up HERE!


The One with the Pop Up

Friends, my nightly night cap is coming to life for the 25th Anniversary and I still can’t get over it! I had plans on surprising my dad in New York for his birthday and it happened to be during this time. I decided to hold off on buying tickets till later on and big mistake, they sold out in literally 4 hours.

Well, long story short, I signed up for their email list with hopes they would release more tickets & they did! Seven days before my trip, I received an email that a limited number of tickets were being released to certain amount of subscribers. I clicked faster than I clicked anything before and bought two tickets for a morning time slot.

You see pictures on Instagram but you don’t really know till you experience it for yourself. My mother and I went in for the 9:40AM time slot. When you first walk in everyone is beyond happy and extra. They do a little Friends trivia to get everyone excited. It’s worth noting that everyone working there was VERY excited and happy to be there (even if they took 39413959 pictures of random people a day).

The entire pop up was insta-worthy. They clearly thought this through. There are seven photo stations from the most iconic moments in the show; front of the fountain, Monica’s turkey head, the infamous purple apartment door, pivot Ross’ white sofa, actually sit in a replica of Central Perk, of course, & more!

 


 

Each cast member had their own room and actual props from the show. Joey & Chandler’s section takes you into their apartment with the infamous Lazy Boy’s & TV lives, Rachel’s room shows all her hairstyles throughout the years, Monica’s room has cleaning supplies and a turkey where you can place it over your head for a install worthy shot. I even did the dance, yep. Ross’ room has some artifacts; and Phoebe’s room has her artwork. Remember blah blah? Even more frightening in person.

The pop-up ends at Central Perk where you can sit on the couch and take photos. They have an actual cafe so you can grab coffee and pastries on your way out. The merch store is located at the very end of the pop-up and is opened to the public till October 9th. The most epic pop-up!
