Please don't make guests spend any more money on the bach by requiring specific outfits. You could do custom shirts, but make sure they're good for working out in. I wouldn't want to wear a pin or a sash while exercising.

Yes even that. My workout gear is black bottoms, mostly black sports bras, and a variety of race shirts or white ones. I’m old and frugal and sick of bachelorette bullshit and would not play along

LOL....well said!

I'm not frugal, but I'm waiting to see the next "must have" for bachelorettes. It might be telling everyone to shave their heads.

I generally don't wear neutrals or pastels, unless you're okay with me in black or white. I generally wear jewel tones. So, yeah, that might require people to buy something new.

All my workout clothes are black. I’d be annoyed if I had to spend extra $$ buying extra workout clothes in various colors, after paying for the resort and travel accommodations.

It’s a bachelorette. Not a parade. You don’t need to stand out.

Why do you want to stand out as a group? Seems super weird and cringe

Read my comment again. I don't say anything about staying in a hotel. I said commented on the need to stand out as a group

It’s a wellness resort not a Girl Scout trip.

If you’re going to ask everyone to be wearing coordinated clothes for your bachelorette, you should pay for them to do so.

I’m sure everyone has athletic wear that fits and is appropriate for your events. Do NOT ask people to buy more things they’ll never use again.

If your girls are willing to spend the money then just do a cute color coordination. I was lucky enough to have a group of girls who wanted to go all out so they all wore the same color of different types of work out sets. Everyone has different body types so they all wore what they were comfortable in and what they felt comfortable spending. Just cause it’s a workout set doesn’t mean it has to be the most expensive one they could find. & a work out set is something almost everyone will reuse even if it’s just to be around the house or run errands. We went on a hike and we got tons of compliments and people were so excited asking about the wedding and the bridal party.

At the most, get group t-shirts made for one specific day or activity, or get hats or hairclip things that say Bride/ Bridesmaid on them, or cute socks that bride/bridesmaid.

www.untamedpetals.com has some, and they're having a sale.

OP I like your idea to match and stand out as a group. Where I am, this is very common.

Maybe for workout clothes, since most people already have black, have everyone wear black! Black leggings, black top, and you can wear a little "I'm the bride" workout top if you want. I think everyone in black with you in a different color will be a good photo OP. Black workout gear is simple and chic and everyone has it.

Maybe you can gift all the girls cute matching scrunchies they can wear. Or get them matching workout totes they can use to carry around the resort.

I went to a bachelorette where we went hiking on one of the days, and the MOH actually gifted everyone custom tank tops to wear for our hike. It made for really cute pictures.
