Apres Ski Bachelorette Party: Ideas, Planning and Inspiration!
While summer is the most popular time for bachelorette and hen parties, there are plenty of winter bachelorette party themes out there and one of the most popular is Apres Ski. This theme would be especially great for a bride to be who is a skiing or snowboarding enthusiast, but you don’t have to hit the slopes to embrace the apres ski vibe!
In this post, we’ll explore our top picks for planning an Apres Ski bachelorette party. So grab your ski poles and parkas because we’re about to dive in!
Are you looking for general Apres Ski Party ideas, such as for a 21st birthday? This post has you covered.

What is the Apres Ski theme?
Apres Ski (literally French for “after ski”) is all about embracing the cozy, festive vibe that comes after a day on the slopes. Think warm drinks, comfy clothes, and snowy decor. The beauty of this theme is that it brings the excitement of a ski trip right to your party, even if your budget doesn’t stretch to a weekend in Aspen.
Apres Ski Bachelorette Taglines
It’s always fun to have a catchy slogan that fits the theme of the weekend, and there are a number of options for an Apres Ski weekend!
Snow in Love – Cheesy but fun!
Shredding before the wedding – Shredding is ski and snowboard lingo for going skiing / snowboarding. So this is a great rhyme to capitalise on!
Last Shred Before She’s Wed – a variation of above.
Champagne On Ice – Another winter weather pun, but it works so well especially if you’re planning on bubbles at the bachelorette party!
Apres Ski with the Bride to Be – Simple, catchy and to the point, what more could you want?
