Just in time for Jazz Fest, our friends at New Orleans Tidbits share a guide to toasting the end of singledom in the Crescent City. We’ve got you covered with ideas by neighborhood for your last full night of freedom.

NOLA, show us your brides!

Bond. No 9, Big Easy Style
Your bachelorette party is a mix of friends new and old. Ward off the awkward getting to know you moments at Avery Fine Perfumerie, where the gals can chime in to develop a perfume that suits the lady of the hour’s personality, aka Jessica is down to earth, so let’s infuse some bergamot.

Something Old, Something Hue
Live it up amongst the lingerie and lace during a private party at House of Lounge in Uptown. The purveyors of all things pretty will arrange for a burlesque class for beginners, light bites and cocktails. For an after-party drink, cab it to Oak Wine Bar to sip amongst the sleek and chic decor, or keep it sexy with an aperitif at Boulingy Tavern.

Absinthe Makes The Heart Grow Fonder
Consider a visit to the Southern Food and Beverage Institute to check out all the cool tools at the current absinthe exhibit, then arrange a private absinthe tasting at sexy Pravda. After opening gifts at the back patio space, head off to dinner at the Green Goddess to keep the green theme alive.

Turn Bywater Into Wine
If your gal loves to swing from the grapevines, make a stop at Bacchanal for a Bywater-style bachelorette to select wines and cheese that reflect the bride-to-be’s taste (her honeymoon is in Florence and France, so only go with Italian reds and brie cheeses). Then cab it over to the newly opened Maurepas Foods for a dinner featuring local cuisine.

Will You Marigny Me?
Start your night out light with a few sips and shared apps at crowded cocktail joint Three Muses. Snag a corner table to hear some live local music. After you’re nice and buzzed, head across the street to Yuki for a sake bomb to seal your fate, and then let your stilettos stumble towards Mimi’s in the Marigny. Head upstairs to break it down to the DJ on the dance floor. And when you need some sustenance, the bar serves up Spanish-style tapas ’til late.

Say I Do To The FQ
For a stylish French Quarter bachelorette party, snag the just-up-the-stairs back corner seat at EAT (pictured). Feeling miles away from the Bourbon Street madness, the bungalow has a fab blue cheese and fig torte and is BYOB (corkage fee after first bottle). Follow it up with a proper specialty cocktail at Bar Tonique, then dance off the calories just down the road at the Gold Mine.
