When it came time for bride-to-be Brittan to celebrate her final fling in Palm Springs, the universe had other ideas. Like many 2020 brides, Brittan had to cancel her March bachelorette party due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Rather than skip out on the festivities all together, her friends decided to bring Palm Springs to Brittan's hometown, Austin! With a few tweaks to the agenda, the group was able to plan a pandemic-friendly bachelorette celebration with social distancing in mind. Wondering how they did it? Read on!

The Weekend Itinerary
What They Did
Brittan and her bride squad had the perfect, pandemic-friendly bachelorette weekend in Austin! The girls found activities and restaurants where they could practice safe social-distancing while still celebrating the bride-to-be. The weekend kicked off with decorating their AirBNB, followed by pizza and beer at Central Machine Works, a beer hall with a large outdoor seating area. The next morning, the squad enjoyed brunch and mimosas at their house before heading to Lake Austin for an afternoon on the water. That evening the girls ordered take-out from Chuy's before having a pajama night at the house. For the final day of celebrating, the group spent the day enjoying the pool and outdoor deck at their AirBNB and dinner prepared by a private chef.
