Here’s an Armchair Do-gooding idea for people interested in making their bachelorette/bachelor party more meaningful and memorable.  Choose an organization whose cause is close to your heart and get a group of your best friends together for a day of service.  There’s no need to cut out good ol’ fun, either—start in the morning with a volunteer activity and end with an evening of tequila shots.  Or you could make a weekend out of it: How about a Nevada Habitat for Humanity build and then a good, old fashioned Las Vegas blowout?

My bachelorette party went a little something like this: Brunch at Madeleine Bistro (having eclipsed the age where I can still hold my liquor, I opted for beignets instead of booze), an afternoon volunteering at Animal Acres, and a picnic lunch afterward.  It was perfect for me and enjoyed by all.

Not sure where to start? VolunteerMatch is a good place to begin…
