Bachelorette Green and Red Flags: The Ultimate Guide to a Drama-Free Bash

Bachelorette Green & Red Flags We’re Spilling the Tea On!

Bachelorette trips are meant to be a time of celebration, laughter, and unforgettable memories. But let’s be real—group trips can also bring out some interesting behavior. If you’ve ever witnessed (or been) the cause of bachelorette drama, you know exactly what we mean. 

We asked our followers on Instagram to submit their hottest green and red flags when it comes to a bachelorette weekend. Let's just say the girlies have spoken and spilled some hot goss! So, whether you’re a bride-to-be, a maid of honor, or just along for the ride, here’s a breakdown of the biggest red and green flags when it comes to bachelorette trips! 🚩💚

🚩 Red Flags: Bachelorette Things You Don't Want to See

1. "Wait, we have to pay for this?"

The biggest eye-roll moment? When people magically disappear the second the maid of honor starts sending out Venmo requests. We get it, trips can be pricey, but you knew what you signed up for! If you agreed to go, be prepared to pay your share—because the rest of the group shouldn’t have to cover for you.

2. The Every Minute is Scheduled Itinerary

Yes, it’s exciting to have fun activities planned, but if the weekend looks more jam-packed than a corporate retreat, it’s a recipe for burnout. The best trips have a mix of scheduled activities and chill time—because no one wants to feel like they need a vacation after the bachelorette.

3. "Oops, I Can’t Come Anymore... Also, I’m Not Paying!"

Life happens, and sometimes you have to drop out last minute—but if you committed to a house rental, group dinners, or prepaid activities, you’re still responsible for your share. Unless you find someone to take your place, ghosting on your financial responsibility is not the move.

💚 Green Flags: The Way To Your Bride’s Heart

1. Actually Doing What the Bride Wants

A bachelorette trip is about celebrating her, not reliving your own dream trip. The best groups respect the bride’s wishes, whether that means a weekend full of clubbing or a cozy spa retreat, matching outfits, or not- you do it! Oh and by the way - if she specifically doesn't want a stripper and you still decide to order one... don't be surprised when she actually gets upset for the rest of the weekend! Your bride will tell you her likes and dislikes, this is the ultimate celebration of her! So make sure you listen and follow accordingly sis! 

2. Taking Turns Calling Ubers/Paying for Dinner

There is always one person who somehow ends up being the designated Uber caller for the entire trip (and then has to awkwardly chase everyone down for reimbursements). After all, it's 2025, so there are plenty of ways to split  weekend costs through different platforms/apps so you don't have to awkwardly requests extra $$$ at the end of weekend... and sometimes never get that back! The best groups rotate turns or just use a shared payment method to make it easy on everyone.

3. A Dress Code That’s Fun and Flexible

Matching outfits can be cute, but forcing people into something uncomfortable is a hard no. Especially matching merch that the group can never wear again! The best brides pick a theme or color scheme and let their crew wear what makes them feel best. That way, everyone feels confident while still keeping the aesthetic on point!

3. HIRING BACH BABES TO TAKE THE STRESS OFF

I mean come on, we had to say it! Whether you’re in Nashville, TN, Austin TX, Charleston, SC or 30A, Florida! We are here to take the stress off of your big weekend! From stocking your fridge with groceries, setting up the Bride’s favorite cocktail bar or simply decking out the airbnb with over-the-top decor… Bach Babes is here to do it all so you can focus on throwing the confetti! Not to mention all Bach Babes groups get access to exclusive partners and discounts in each city, talk about a win, win!

Final Thoughts: Be the Bachelorette Guest Everyone Loves

At the end of the day, a bachelorette trip is about celebrating the bride and making amazing memories. Avoid the red flags, embrace the green flags, and you’ll be the kind of guest that everyone wants on their next trip!
