She had the idea of going on a solo bachelorette party.

She was thinking of asking all of the women in her bridal party to pitch in the amount that they would have spent on flights for a bachelorette party to instead go toward her spa weekend.

She felt that a weekend pampering herself would be a lot easier.

She loved her friends who would be coming but they all live in different places and have children. To her this would be a less stressful weekend.
