What BANGTEL property did you BACH at?
Why did you pick this location?
I live in Milwaukee and wanted somewhere close, but still a fun getaway for the people I was inviting.
What was your theme?
Hasta La Muerte!
I didn’t have a major theme. I told my cousin I like rose gold and told the girls to wear sequins for the drag show. 😊 ✨
Hasta La Muerte - Until Death! 💍 💀
What resources did you use to make the stay just right for the event?
BANGTEL was a recommendation from Alex Stewart (@sassyconfetti) and she also gave me more Chicago recommendations.
Was there a weekend itinerary? If so, please share in detail!
We arrived on Tuesday (7/11/23) and had check-in @ 5pm
Dinner at Paradise Park @7pm 💜 👯♀️
We walked around to a couple bars after nearby and went back for snacks and games.
On Wednesday (7/12/23), we had plans for a beach day but it rained (like pouring on & off all day) and we ended up spending the morning/afternoon having food and going to nearby stores.
We had reservations at Lips for dinner & a drag show. 👄
Thursday (7/13/23) was the last day and it was my bday so we went out for ice
cream in the early afternoon before heading home. 🍦🚗
Paradise Park just a 1 block walk from ALOHA 2.0!
Lips Drag Queen Show Palace, Restaurant & Bar
Any tips for future Bachelorettes on how to throw the best Bach party?
Have backup plans and don’t be upset if everything doesn’t go
according to plan. Don’t overpack drinks or food, you will have left
overs. Don’t forget coffee creamer. Have the last person arriving call
ahead and see if there’s anything needed so they can make a store stop,
if people realize something is missing. Don’t forget make-up wipes &
bandaids. (Things I listed as “don’t forget” were forgotten for mine lol)
Friendship Bracelets 4 Life
Any weekend bloopers?
The rain ruined our beach day and we were in a tornado warning zone
before our dinner & drag show. We should’ve made “I survived t-shirts”!!! 🤣
Bachelorette's crew drink of choice for the weekend?
My husband sent a premade honey lavender gin cocktail for us. 🥂
