Do you and your bridesmaids love all things sweet and sugary, but find yourselves avoiding desserts so you can be in the best shape for the big day? Perhaps a dessert-themed bachelorette weekend might be right up your alley. Leave the Fitbit at home and give into your sweet tooth just for the weekend — nobody needs to know!
Start your weekend right by dropping by Dylan’s Candy Bar, where you can find two floors of candy heaven: M&Ms of every color possible, almost every type of candy under the sun, and a cafe with luscious menu option like cookie butter dessert pizza, cheesecake fantasy ice cream sundaes, and chocoholic martinis. Next up, head over to the Chicago classic: Molly’s Cupcakes. There’s something for everyone, whether you’re interested in creating your own cupcake, visiting the Sprinkle Station, or treating yourself to one of Molly’s famous center-filled cupcakes, with delicious options like Nutella, peach cobbler, and Creme Brûlée, among many others. Finally, cap off your day with a visit to either Amorino, an authentic traditional Italian gelato shop that serves gelato shaped like a beautiful rose, or to Paciugo Lincoln Square, which has more flavors than you can imagine.

Idea #3: Body and Mind Spa Weekend
Are you more interested in doing a fun activity with your bridesmaids than just sitting around at a spa? Why not spend it engaging your Body and Mind by taking a variety of fun classes throughout the city? At the Aloft Loft, you and your friends can explore the aerial and circus arts, from silks and trapeze to acrobatics and tightrope wire. If you’d rather stay on the ground, perhaps consider a group class or two at Pure Barre, which combines the art of ballet with cardio for a fun and challenging workout.
If you’re of a more artistic frame of mind, Bottle and Bottega is a great place to have a low-key bachelorette weekend. There are locations throughout Chicagoland, and you can reserve a 2-3 hour block to drink wine and paint the evening away. If you’ve got a few musicians in your party, a musical workshop at the Old Town School of Folk Music would also be another fun and unique way to spend your special weekend with the girls. Depending on the time of year, there are a wide range of classes — from the roots of Tap to Mexican fiddle to Blues Harmonica and Country Dancing. Read real brides’ reviews here!
