We chose to throw our bachelorette in the beautiful city of New Orleans, Louisiana. We did a joint bachelorette party and had 13 people total, including us.

We started off by making our own digital invite on Canva- and to get these, we just searched Etsy and Pinterest, found our favorite, and then made it free. I did print it on card stock and put it in our girl's goodie bags. We will go over the goodie bags and restaurants you can go to below!

We have a full house tour of our stay at the bottom!

The number one thing we had to do was find a house that would accommodate all of us. We use Expedia to book all our flights and VRBO ! We did highlight the areas we suggest you stay in ^^.

Some of the good areas are: Marigny, French Quarter, Garden District, French Channel, it really depends on what you are wanting for your feel. We stayed in Bywater, which I will say is not a walking distance to the trolley and French Quarter, we had to get Blue bikes or Lyft. We did love Marigny, as we usually stay there.

MY BIGGEST TIP, if you are flying in to the New Orleans Airport, do not get an uber, get in the Taxi line. The ride is a flat rate, no matter how many people, and it is usually cheaper than the rideshares. I will say the line looks long, but we have never waited more than 20 minutes.

We linked everything on our amazon Bachelorette List

The group actually didn't want too much to have to clean up, but my best friend, Farryn made the cutest 90's themed charcuterie boards for us to have on the first night, which was game night!

Hannah and I wanted to do something for our friends, which was something small since we had to travel so far, but for them to remember the weekend. I quickly recorded what I put in each of their bags, but it also is linked in our Amazon Bachelorette List, except for the hangover kit and the 90's cozies, which I linked them on Etsy for you!

With our large group, we had to make sure we made reservations ahead of time.

Breakfast/Brunch/Lunch

Brennan's : It is a nicer restaurant but for breakfast it is a staple
Cafe Du Monde: I obviously have to put this on the list if you have never been to New Orleans, but there is one in the city and in the park, the park is usually less crowded
Cafe Beignet on Royal is my absolute favorite place to get beignets though. You can sit in the courtyard while the jazz musicians play.
Willa Jean : Beyonce's favorite for a reason.
Katie's : It can get really loud on the weekends, but it is a staple in my head of great
Elizabeth's
The Country Club: if you like drag brunch, book months in advance, but it's the best.

Emerils

Dinner:

Emeril's
Jack Rose: Yes it has the famous Lil Wayne painting
Gris Gris
Oceana
Juan's Flying Burrito : I like what I like.

If you are looking for attractions or things to do, I really love taking the people who are not cultured in the South on an alligator boat ride, Ragin Cajun is the only one I recommend.

I do not recommend the ghost tours and cemetery tours. Just go walk through them yourself. There are a ton of cute shops in the French Quarter that you can always walk through as well.

We have done the dinner boat ride on the Mississippi River, which is pretty neat. The Zoo and Aquarium are also two of my favorite in New Orleans.
