Low-key Bachelorx Trends

BACHELORX TRENDSLow-key Jessica Williams

In Saskatchewan you can kick up your heels and party-on now that pandemic restrictions have lifted. But maybe you’re of the camp that would prefer to keep things low key. Your introvert engaged friends - those who find socializing draining and prefer life in smaller, more intimate groups - could be looking for a way to celebrate the last stretch of unmarried life with their closest friends without jet-setting to Mexico or lighting it up in Vegas. Not only will your bank accounts thank you, but you can easily take advantage of some of the fantastic things to do in the Land of the Living Skies. Let’s look at some low-key ideas for your Bachelorx* Party!

First off, if it’s your party, please make sure that whomever is planning it knows that you want something small. If you’re the one planning the party, check with your friend and see what they would prefer. There can be a tendency to “Go Big Or Go Home” with these gatherings, but if the preference is for something small, make that known.

Your low-key party could start with traveling to one of the province’s unique locations or glamping sites. There’s the Alive Sky Lodge’s BINcredible Luxury Grain Bin in Rosetown (see our interview with Alive Sky Lodge on page 16), oTENTiks in Grasslands National Park, or you could book a yurt at Nesslin Lake near Big River. Any of these locations would provide a truly unique getaway for you and a few of your closest friends. Instead of heading to a big centre, you can find some quiet in nature and enjoy camping without having to set up your gear.

A fantastic side effect of booking a place to stay far from your home base is the opportunity for a road trip! A good old fashioned road trip can harken back to the days when it was just you and your crew. Filling the vehicle with snacks, an ultimate playlist of your favourite tunes and the open road is a spectacular way to keep things small with your tightest friends.

If travel isn’t on your list of ideal activities, there are loads of options for staying put. Booking a round at one of the province’s beautiful golf courses (Dakota Dune at Saskatoon, Elk Ridge at Waskesui Lake and Deer Valley Golf Club at Deer Valley are some of the top rated courses in the province) can be a great option for parties in the summer or early fall.

Or maybe the best way to celebrate is to hole yourself and your friends up in a basement, plug in your favourite old-school game console and have a video game marathon.

A Bachelorx Party is ultimately whatever you want it to be; whether it’s big or small, extravagant or low-key, it’s a celebration of your friendship with those who are closest to you and a way to highlight your history and continued importance in each other’s lives.
