From start to finish, the wedding planning process is filled with fun celebrations, including engagement parties and rehearsal dinners. The bachelorette party is arguably one of the most fun festivities, and Cozi Vacation Rentals is the perfect host for your Texas adventure.
Why is Fredericksburg a Great Option for a Bachelorette Party?
Bachelorette parties flock here to be surrounded by breathtaking Texas Hill Country beauty while being close to the top activities and attractions that Fredericksburg is known for. And, with its proximity to Dallas and Austin, it’s an easy and convenient option for city girls who want to escape into nature for a few days.
There are a few things you should do before arriving that’ll ensure you have the ultimate Texas bachelorette party. Planning the perfect bachelorette in Fredericksburg can be done in just four steps:
1. Send out the Invites
The first step is to write up your guest list and send out your invites. The average number of guests for bachelorette parties is ten, but as long as you have your best girls with you that’s all that matters!
Receiving their invitations is sure to start building the excitement among your group — let the outfit planning commence. Be sure to give your guestlist a date to RSVP by so you can confirm numbers. This will heavily impact your plans for the weekend and will determine where you’ll stay during your trip, too.
2. Reserve Your Perfect Vacation Rental
Whether your bachelorette party is four or 20 people, you want a vacation rental that has enough room to accommodate your crew in comfort and style. From huge dens where you can hang out and laugh about your antics from the night before, to multiple bathrooms for your girls to get ready in, Cozi Vacation Rentals has the perfect spots to stay in style.
Cozi Vacation Rentals is a local, personalized alternative to Airbnb and we have homes that can accommodate large groups of up to 20 adults. Each of our Fredericksburg vacation rentals is unique and has a range of amenities, including pools and hot tubs. Our knowledgeable staff is here to help answer any questions you may have to ensure you book your ideal home away from home for the big bachelorette weekend.
3. Research Area Activities
When you pick Fredericksburg as the location for your girls’ weekend, you won’t have any issues finding fun things to do and see as a group. The best Fredericksburg bachelorette parties include decadent brunches, Texas wines, and German-themed activities. Popular ideas that the bride-to-be will love include:
Shopping
Pick up your outfits for the wedding, souvenirs to remember your girl’s trip, and anything in between at one of the premium shopping spots in Fredericksburg.
Main Street
The stores on Main Street are all locally owned and operated because chain stores aren’t allowed within the National Historic District. This means that a shopping day on Main Street will be a unique experience that you won’t soon forget. With so many beautiful shops to explore, you can expect to find everything from antiques and home furnishings to fashion and accessories.
Some of our favorite spots include:
- Antiques Market of Fredericksburg
- BuddyLove Fredericksburg
- Der Kuch Laden
- Fredericksburg Jewelers
- Heirlooms
Warehouse District
Also in downtown Fredericksburg is the Warehouse District. This area is also home to many independent and unique stores and can be combined with Main Street for an unbeatable shopping spree. Don’t miss the following spots:
Hiking
Besties who love to explore the great outdoors together will love Fredericksburg as a weekend getaway.
Most outdoor adventures will focus on exploring the incredible 11 miles of hiking trails in Enchanted Rock State Natural Area. This huge pink granite dome rises majestically above central Texas and makes the perfect backdrop for hiking (and some spectacular selfies).
Some of the best alternative hiking spots are as follows:
- Cross Mountain Park – head here for a short hike and spectacular views close to downtown.
- Lady Bird John Municipal Park – this park offers 330 acres of stunning Texas scenery including a mile-long nature trail along the Live Oak Creek.
- Old Tunnel State Park – wildlife lovers should head here because the park is known for its bat colony. Just remember to stay on the designated trail and don’t approach the tunnel!
Another wonderful way to explore the local countryside is by horseback riding. Whether you’re a pro rider or your group wants to try it for the first time, this is the cutest and most relaxing way of exploring nature.
Nightlife
Are you looking for somewhere to enjoy a margarita or two, or perhaps your group loves to dance til you drop? Whatever you’re in the mood for, you’re sure to find plenty of fun in Fredericksburg after the sun goes down.
Bars
Reserve a table at one of the best bars in Fredericksburg and get ready for a fun night out to remember.
- The Velvet Lounge – this lively spot is a fave among visiting bachelorette parties and offers karaoke, live music, and a great cocktail menu.
- The Speakeasy at Salvation Spirits – this is the only speakeasy in the city and the handcrafted cocktails use fruits from the surrounding orchards and award-winning spirits created in-house.
- 78624 The Bar – for classy vibes in a historic building, check out this piano bar and its classic cocktail menu with a modern twist.
Wine Tasting and Tours
Texas Hill Country is home to more than 100 wineries and spending a day tasting a glass of wine or two is sure to make the bride happy (and the bridesmaids and the rest of the party for that matter). Whether you love a bold red or prefer sparkling wine, you’ll enjoy getting to know Fredericksburg’s local grapes at one of the following tasting rooms and wine tours:
- Grape Creek Vineyards – this refined spot is the oldest winery on Highway 209 and is the perfect place to sample Texas wines.
- Becker Vineyard – with its lavender fields, wildflowers, and an antique windmill, this is one of the best wineries for delicious wines with incredible views.
- Augusta Vin – with regular live music, a wide variety of wines, accompanying charcuterie boards, and stunning surroundings, Augusta is a fun place to spend a sunny afternoon eating and drinking.

4. Create Rough Itinerary
Once you’ve researched potential activities, organize your adventures by creating a rough itinerary. You don’t have to plan things down to the minute, but a general idea of what you’ll do each day is never a bad idea. Doing this not only takes the guesswork out of the trip but gives your group members an idea of what to pack.
