The Best Places In Michigan To Celebrate Your Bride-To-Be

Aubreigh Ulicki

Bachelorette parties happen all over the world. Whether you’re taking flight overseas, driving across the country or staying put in your home state…there are plenty of different experiences to take in.

Being a Michigan native, I’m all about celebrating the bride-to-be in our beautiful state. With two peninsulas, four seasons, a variety of terrain and enclosure from 4 out of the 5 great lakes…Michigan offers it all.

Michigan’s east side offers a great bar and shopping scene. More the relaxed type? Take her up north where you’ll find some of the most beautiful lakes. If she’s not on either end of the spectrum, visit western Michigan, where you’ll find a perfect combination of the two.

East Michigan
Take your bride to the east side of the state and plan the perfect day (or weekend) full of memories. Home to historic theatres, delicious eateries and some of the state’s best shopping destinations…your bride will have plenty of attractions to choose from. Explore Somerset Collection or Twelve Oaks if she’s into the shopping scene. Hop on a party bus or pedal your way through downtown in the Detroit Cycle Pub. Visit the Ann Arbor Art Fair and experience the city’s thriving dining scene. East Michigan has a lot to offer for all types of brides.

Popular Cities: Detroit, Royal Oak, Ann Arbor

Northern Michigan
Northern Michigan is a perfect destination for brides looking for a relaxing weekend away. Escape the city and hangout on the lake for the day. A few of the most popular are Elk Lake, Glen Lake, Lake Charlevoix and Walloon Lake. At night, head to Traverse City and try out a few well-known breweries: North Peak, Right Brain, The Workshop. Prefer wine? The city offers a variety of tours on both the Leelanau and Old Mission Peninsulas. Additional attractions up north include Sleeping Bear Dunes, M-119’s Tunnel of Trees, Historic Fishtown and the Cherry Bowl Drive-In Theatre.
Popular Cities: Traverse City, Charlevoix, Petoskey

West Michigan
Head on over to the west side of the state and explore everything it has to offer. If your bride is looking for a city that has a lot going on – west Michigan is your spot. From ArtPrize in Grand Rapids to the Tulip Time Festival in Holland, there are a variety of events constantly taking place no matter which season. If you’re looking for a more relaxed staycation, head even further west and you’ll find yourself at Lake Michigan. Rent a cozy cottage on Airbnb or HomeAway and spend your weekend soaking up the sun. West Michigan is the perfect combination of laid back and on the go – see for yourself!
Popular Cities: Grand Rapids, Muskegon, Grand Haven, Holland

There are plenty of attractions Michigan has to offer when it comes to celebrating your bride-to-be. I guarantee you can find a town fit for what she’s looking for – beaches, spas, nightlife, wine and brewery tours, festivals, even historic hot spots. Michigan is a beautiful place to be and an even more beautiful place to celebrate.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
