The Rise of Wellness Bachelorette Parties
Quick Glance: Bridal parties embrace wellness retreats over party excesses
  • An increasing number of bridal parties are opting for relaxing wellness retreats instead of wild celebrations.

  • Wellness retreats are seen as the more mature alternative to a lively nightclub tour across the Las Vegas Strip.
