all the details about my bachelorette
trip in cabo it was a major major major
major success
what up youtube welcome back to my
channel in today's video i want to talk
about how we planned it how we budgeted
for it how i delegated tasks to people
and how it all came together from start
to finish so hopefully you guys can use
this as a resource if you guys are
planning a bachelorette trip or it's
your bachelorette trip or you're
planning a girls trip hopefully this
video is extremely helpful but enough of
that like and subscribe and let's get
into the video so we're gonna take it
back to the beginning of when cabo even
became an idea for my bachelorette trip
one of the first trips that me and
anthony went on as adults overseas was
to cabo and we had the most beautiful
trip in cabo and i was just like i love
cabo i want to go back i want to take
everyone here and in fact we wanted to
get married in cabo then the pandemic
happened and obviously that just didn't
seem like the best idea for us so i was
like what is the next best thing
obviously my bachelorette trip in cabo
duh is that over the top yes do people
talk crap about oh my god there's a
bachelor trip this far away yes but you
know what i didn't care what i didn't
know is that i was gonna be in kabul for
my bachelorette trip by myself or with
somebody regardless i knew i needed my
bachelorette trip in cabo if i wasn't
gonna have my wedding there so that's
how i came up with cabo as like my
destination for where we wanted to go
and have the bachelorette trip when i
asked my maid of honor i asked her back
in actually like early 2020 i had
already been speaking to her like cabo
cabo cabo my friends had been hearing me
for years say cabo from ambassador
carver from a bachelor trip so me
announcing that it was in cabo to my
friends was not new information to them
they knew this was coming now did i tell
them about budgeting or a time frame or
anything like that no not this time i
was just speaking into existence
because i was like you gonna be there or
not but i'm gonna be there
so yes i was selfish with this whole
thing and i knew exactly what i wanted
luckily my friend jocelyn my girl my
ride or die was like i will take on the
trip and i will plan it for you that's
what i would love to gift you as your
maid of honor we went on the trip
january 6th through the 9th that was the
date of our trip we locked that date in
in june 2021 sending out invites to our
guests around
july early july is when we send out the
invite i actually will paste the invite
in right here so i texted my friends
this beautiful
invite i was like
cabo like how to music i made it in
canva i was super proud of it i was so
excited and i had a list of 16 people
that i wanted to somehow make it to cabo
with me i knew it was a stretch goal
honestly didn't think any of my friends
were gonna come i thought i'd probably
get maybe five to six people i just kind
of threw the invite out there and saw
what happened everyone hit me with the
best energy everyone was so so excited
but i was like okay yes i get the
excitement but once we let them know how
much the trip may cost i feel like a lot
of people are gonna drop i was
completely fine with it like i was okay
i just knew i needed to make it to
mexico somehow or another whoever was
coming with me i would have been fine
with got the response went ahead and got
all the contact information of all my
friends their emails and their cell
phone numbers and gave that to my maid
of honor so that she could start
reaching out about logistics something
we knew going into the trip is that i'm
not gonna expect my friends just to
cough up this money a month before and
get into cabo we have to give them at
least six months in advance to save and
plan for this trip i didn't want anyone
to feel like they were in this tight
funky situation and i really made sure
that that message was relayed to all of
my friends as they were going through
planning once we went ahead and figured
out how much an airbnb would be to host
16 people i knew that i wanted to get on
a boat so i told jocelyn that my maid of
honor we started looking at a budget so
when it came to delegating my maid of
honor asked me do you have any friends
out of the people you invited that would
be really good planners that can help me
with tasks over the next six months as
we're planning up to this cabo trip so i
gave her some contact information of
three friends i thought would be great
help to her and they had a call
together and i think they talked through
ideas for the bachelorette trip all of
that i was not a part of that call but
they took time to basically put a budget
together so that people could start
saving and you know budget over time so
they could afford to go on the trip and
then they also started putting an
itinerary together once they figured out
what the budget was we came up with for
the airbnb for the boat and for some of
the transportation 750 dollars needed to
be saved for each person and paid to
jocelyn so that she could book the
airbnb the boat the reservations for
like dinners and things like that she
could get that all done with that money
and so joseph was amazing i like applaud
my maid of honor so much she came up
with payment plans so if you couldn't
just pay the 750 upfront in july you
could do a payment plan over the next
six months leading up into cabo that
would pay for those costs that she
needed so that was really up to each
person once they started paying that
money we took a count and there was only
one person that couldn't make it on the
trip so now our number became 15 people
and i remember josten saying there's 15
people that are coming they're paying
their payment plans or they've already
paid i was in shock y'all i really was
like damn my people are really showing
out for me they want to go all the way
to mexico for me i didn't expect this oh
my god i've invited all walks of life
people from different parts of my life
are they all gonna mesh together i think
the anxiety of it started to set in
because i was so excited but so nervous
i'm bringing all these people from all
different parts of my life is this going
to work is this trip just going to turn
into this hot mess or is it going to be
like the best thing that's ever happened
to me and i just remember feeling
anxiety over the next like six months
but again my friends that were on top of
it it was basically a team of four
people jocelyn courtney abby and casey
they really got into like booking the
airbnb they started looking for
decorations on amazon they started
looking for our goodie bags making them
off of etsy they really started thinking
about like the logistics of the trip and
started ordering things far in advance
so that we would have all those things
the day the trip came and then another
thing that we really utilized while
planning is google forms we would get
google forms i think we got maybe three
google forms over the course of six
months that would talk about what kind
of activities as a group are we
interested in do we want to be on a boat
do we want massages are we down to do
yoga one morning and so that way they
could gauge kind of where everyone's
interests were for the trip so that we
were planning a well-curated trip for
the entire group a month and a half to
two months before the trip we sent out
our itinerary which i'm gonna put in
here which basically went on to every
single guest they knew what we were
doing every single day and also what
clothes they needed to pack because we
did have some themes that were
incorporated like last night on the
prowl right we wanted that to be animal
print theme we had the all-white party
at flora farms so they needed to bring
an all-white outfit mango deck was like
neon prints and things like that because
that was like a beach club so we put
that in there and we let people know
farther enough in advance so that they
could get the things that they needed
for the trip i think the biggest thing
is that my maid of honor was extremely
organized when it came to the excels the
google forms the itinerary there was no
message that was lost she was super
communicative to everyone she was there
to answer any questions i am just so
thankful that i had someone that's
really type a personality and was able
to get the job done so that's kind of
the breakdown of leading up to the trip
what happened as far as logistics and
planning the last thing i will say about
that is that basically
jocelyn
my maid of honor i ended up getting
covered right before
our trip so johnson actually never made
it to the trip she planned the entire
thing and did not get to enjoy one
second
of it and that broke my heart but
because she involved my other friends in
the planning um courtney my friend
courtney was able to go a day early
before all of us arrived in cabo so that
way she could decorate the house for us
she could stock it with alcohol all of
that thank you courtney for taking one
for the team if you're watching this
again i'm very impressed with my friends
i'm very grateful for them they really
went all out for this trip and i will
forever be grateful to them for it i can
honestly say from the moment i stepped
into that house i like just felt like
the energy was just gonna be amazing my
friends brought their freaking a game
for this next portion of this video we
gonna walk through what the freak did we
do while we were in cabo
and how amazing this trip freaking was
and i will make sure that i'm putting
all of the vendors down below in the
description box so if you're heading to
cabo you can use all of the services and
people that we hired for our trip i'll
make sure that the airbnb and everything
is linked down there for you guys
because i'm telling you we did this trip
right so once we got there we picked our
rooms everyone was excited we like
immediately took a shot this was our
cash night and something i would really
recommend for the first night of any
trip is to do
games or icebreakers i think this truly
drove our trip home was that first night
when we all got there so we started with
some games downstairs we had a chef come
in and cook us dinner which i will
definitely be linking right here they
were fantastic they were bartending for
us serving us drinks appetizers dinner
dessert you name it and their energy was
amazing i mean they were like dancing
with us having the time of their life so
that just set the energy in the room
just so right good meal good food good
music good people it was just
so lit and i feel like all of my anxiety
went away that first night because i was
like damn if we're just in our house
entertaining ourselves this rest of the
week is going to go by so well because
we have so many things that we're gonna
do together the games that we played and
really got us like loosen up and have
fun was shark tank so essentially
we did two versions of shark tank the
first is you have to sell me an alcohol
so each person had a tequila bottle and
they had to come and present the tequila
bar for me create an experience for me
to try the tequila and then i had to
pick whose tequila i would want to
endorse we also did a talent show so i
assigned each group a song and they had
to come out and perform that's when you
saw us doing irish dancing and all that
fun stuff day two was definitely more of
an eventful jam-packed day i would say
it was our heaviest day was friday in
cabo we woke up early in the morning we
had people making breakfast and then we
got massages that was ugh just to die
for and then we had a boat around two
o'clock we were really chilling in the
morning we ate breakfast together people
talked about last night there's already
inside jokes forming as far as
transportation to and from because we
were such a large group we used sprinter
vans hands down best transportation in
cabo
i will use them over and over and over
again i will never not be in cabo
without using that service their drivers
are super professional they have ice in
there for you so you can have drinks the
best sound systems you can blast music
the yacht was amazing we had the whole
yacht to ourselves they served the sushi
they had great music they took us into
the cove it was absolutely stunning and
we stayed out in the water till sunset
after the boat we were able to come back
to the house and freshen up because we
were gonna have our first night out
which was last night on the prowl
because i'm getting married so everyone
wore animal print we pre-gamed at the
house and we went to a club called taboo
highly highly recommend it's very very
much jungle-esque it's right on the
beach in a resort so it's super super
safe it's bougie there's people from all
over the world partying there so we did
bottle service there we had hookah there
it was really such a good time so that
was friday night saturday was also
another big jam-packed day i could say
the squad was a little bit hurting in
the morning we're feeling definitely
hungover
we headed over to mango deck now mango
deck is like a beach club it's like they
play games there's push-up contests
there's twerk contests people come
around poor shots in your mouth they do
shots it's like a scene it's a
raunchy scene and it's right on the
beach super touristy we ate brunch there
and we partied there for a little bit
enjoyed the ocean and then headed back
to our airbnb again to freshen up for
our last night together which we did at
flora farms flora farms was splendid
let me tell you that we did an all-white
theme so everyone dressed in white we
arrived at dinner we had one of the best
meals i think we had in cabo the food
was freaking amazing it's on this
beautiful property they're shopping
there's little ice cream shops i mean
the whole thing is a vibe that was more
of like an emotional dinner i would say
because i really saw all of my friends
jamming like i looked around and people
were just loving on each other and they
had just met no one really wanted to
leave we were all so tired from the trip
but we just were like damn we're gonna
miss each other so the last night we
just came back we actually stayed in and
just played games and danced and chilled
at the house and then on sunday we woke
up and we cleaned up and we headed out
overall it was one of the best trips i
think i've been on i think the energy
was just immaculate and i honestly don't
know if i'll ever have another trip like
that in my life with like my people you
know i would say my standards for
bachelorette trips are way way up here
so if you invite me to yours i'm gonna
be like yeah this ain't la mondo all
right y'all so let's talk about the
questions that i've received from
instagram about the bachelorette trip
first one is from one of my friends on
there she said when are we going back
girl i'm ready put me on a plane let's
go we're moving to cabo i will own a
house in cabo one day quote me on that
someone asked best way to prepare for
cabo in covid times but you should get
tested before you go just to make sure
you're not passing or spreading cove in
19 while you're on the trip all of my
friends we got tested before we left for
the trip as you guys know my maid of
honor didn't make it because she tested
positive i was super super unfortunate
to hear i feel horrible about that but
i'm glad that we were safe than sorry
because she was responsible and decided
hey i have i'm testing positive i i
can't make it so going into cabo they
actually don't require you to show any
proof of a kobit 19 test cabo is
completely open for travelers at this
time coming back though you will need a
coven 19 test if you're renting an
airbnb most airbnb properties will have
some type of third-party healthcare
provider that you can go through to get
a kova test done at your airbnb and if
you're going to resort same thing a lot
of the resorts are testing on-site at
the resort just make sure that you're
checking with whoever you're traveling
to whether that's an airbnb or a resort
that you ask about copen 19 testing but
most likely they're both going to offer
that that way you can get tested a day
before get your results and get on a
flight back to america okay good
question the next question was what was
your favorite restaurant i actually have
two i would say
flora farms was fantastic for a large
group it's absolutely beautiful it's
inland so you're not going to be on the
beach so just know that if you go there
but the food is fabulous
the second place i would say in kabul
that's amazing is sunset mona lisa me
and anthony went there when we went back
in 2018. it's one of the best
restaurants with the best view with the
best vibes we did the five course meal
it was fabulous highly suggest and if
you can't do dinner at some scent mona
lisa i highly suggest getting a drink it
looks like mykonos in cabo and it's
right on the cliff right on the coast
it's beautiful someone asked what was
your favorite excursion by far the yacht
that we freaking booked it was awesome
i mean the yacht was massive we had
downstairs upstairs the front of the
boat and it was all to ourselves so if
you're going in a large group highly
suggest getting a private boat to
charter you out into the cove in the
marina of cabba because it's just
absolutely stunning and do it during
sunset time the sunset views are
literally breathtaking like you can't
you can't beat that but before when i
went with anthony we went to los
tamarindos now los marindos is a farm's
table where you go and you take a
cooking class you pick all the
vegetables and you do a cooking class
the private cooking class this beautiful
farm in mexico and then they serve you
the food that you made and you get to
eat it privately that was one of the
coolest experiences i've ever had in
cabo if you're going on like a couple's
trip or with a few people doing a
cooking class and eating the food that
you made and that fresh guacamole and
that fresh salsa there's just nothing
like it it's so freaking good so highly
suggest i love how you invited guys what
made you come to that decision are they
bridesmen yes so i have two bridesmen in
my wedding party i have my friend lemuel
who's from college and then i have my
brother nathan who's my bridesman now my
other brother john was also there just
because i wanted jon to be there i
invited all of my siblings to come i
don't think that bachelorette trips ever
need to be all girls i think it should
be a representation of the people that
love you the most care for you the most
have been there for your relationship
and so yeah that happened to be some
guys which i freaking loved it kind of
made us feel honestly a little bit more
safe in a foreign country having
my brothers there all right next one is
do you love my culture's hospitality yes
kabul has some of the best hospitality i
can say that they definitely know that
they're catering to americans expect to
get a drink served to you as soon as you
arrive right when you land in the cabo
san lucas airport you are going to be
greeted by three bars rowdy people just
ready to freaking party in mexico so yes
the hospitality is absolutely amazing
the massages coming to the house the
chef coming into the house the drivers
everyone wonderful
no bad experiences at all how much did
you make the party budget like i said
before 750 dollars was what needed to be
paid to my maid of honor to book the
house the transportation and the airbnb
they had to buy their flights on their
own so depending on what time of the
year you bought your flight that
depended on what your prices were going
to be i believe mine was 600
round trip 750 plus 600 and then i
pulled out like 500 for the trip most
people only spent maybe 200 there 200 to
250 actually in cabo for like tipping
people buying a few shots if you wanted
honestly my people spent a lot of money
to be there 1400 to 1500 all together
for the entire trip it was definitely a
more expensive trip which is why we
decided to have payment plans and plan
so early ahead because i really wanted
to make sure that if people wanted to
come they would be able to do it someone
asked did you set up your own
decorations did you pack them in luggage
to decorate so my friend courtney went
early a day before we got there and she
packed everything into her suitcases as
far as all the decorations that we had
the goodie bags the emergency kits that
we made inside the goodie packs all of
that was packed and brought there was no
decorations in the house when we got
there it was just an airbnb so yeah my
friends are amazing and made the
decorations and all of that happen for
me which i truly appreciate someone
asked what polaroid camera did you use
to take these cute pics so i will go
ahead and link my polaroid camera down
below i absolutely love it we probably
took over a hundred polaroids on the
trip i'm just so happy to have the polar
words because i truly do feel like i'm
gonna look at those and just like
everything's gonna come back to life and
the thing about polaroids is when you
take them they're not supposed to be
perfect they're supposed to be a moment
someone asked i know you don't share
ant's life on here and i respect that
thank you queen
but i'm curious as to what his bachelor
was like anthony is actually doing his
in march so
yes anthony has not done his yet but i'm
sure when he does his i'll be able to
share a lot more about his whole
situation but you know guys planning a
trip we pray for them we hope it turns
out as epic as mine it's all i can wish
for for him but he has not gone on his
trip yet so you'll have to stay tuned on
that sis also i hope you had a very fun
time and enjoyed yourself you deserve it
thanks sis that i did that i did the
trip was lit t
overall cabo is hands down an awesome
pace for a bachelorette trip group trip
couple trip solo trip anything there's
something there for everyone so i hope
this video helps all of you plan an epic
trip there feel free to comment down
below if you have any more questions
i'll definitely be responding in the
chat
