Key West is laid back, quaint, and SO fun. There are great B&B's, or a few higher end resorts. Casa Marina is GORG, its a Waldorf Astoria.

You can have fun just dining out with the girls, you could have a cabana day or even charter a sweet yacht for the day. The shopping is sick in Miami and I highly suggest hitting the Bal Harbor mall. If you're a foodie, there are so many fantastic restaurants too. livingchelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04271143284254194692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8752648562833998799.post-44072553600710629302012-10-31T11:35:33.595-04:002012-10-31T11:35:33.595-04:00I have been to both Miami and Key West multiple ti...I have been to both Miami and Key West multiple times... usually with a few nights of "clubbing". Miami is great because if you choose a nice hotel on South Beach, you can have a beach front view, beach access with "cabana boys", an amazing pool, and you are walking distance to a lot of fun shopping and scenery. Oh and TONS of restaurants. And of course you could go to a club one night since it is your bachelorette party afterall! I suggest Mansion! As for Key West, you have the same options, just fewer hotels to choose from, fewer restaurants, less shopping... but still fun and low key. All in all... if you want celebrity treatment, go to Miami... if you want to just relax among the islanders, go to Key West.Tristan Paige {at} Sunshine!https://www.blogger.com/profile/14714444953315919393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8752648562833998799.post-16087153787192477382012-10-31T10:54:55.273-04:002012-10-31T10:54:55.273-04:00My sister lives in Marathon Florida and we are doi...My sister lives in Marathon Florida and we are doing her bachelorette in Key West!

My dad has a home in Islamorada and my girlfriends and I always go down there to relax. The weather is always warm and it's always beautiful! <br /><br />If you go to Key West though, watch out for college spring breakers. March/April is normally that time. Good luck!

I feel like the whole place is really clubish and it's ridiculously expensive for drinks no matter where you go. It is a fun place to go though and could be great for a bachelorette - everyone should go once I feel like. love the chip clip idea - we are always looking for chip clips! and i'm debating about emily.... not sure what to believe?! <br /><br />http://itsthelittlethingsblog.blogspot.comTaylor https://www.blogger.com/profile/15314090782222464248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8752648562833998799.post-71202280471527654632012-10-30T15:21:12.130-04:002012-10-30T15:21:12.130-04:00I just went to Miami last year for my sister in la...I just went to Miami last year for my sister in law's bachelorette. While it was fun my sister and I decided one trip to Miami was enough for us. It was total club scene and the places that werent cluby (ie the Delano and the Ganesvort) were crazy expensive. If you had alot of money the swanky high end places are fun but it adds up fast. We did have some incredible meals there. That being said we all had a fabulous time there as it really just depends who is with you. If you have a fun group of girls it will be fun anywhere! and if you have never been to Miami it is fun to go once and what better time than for a bachelorette party:) If you end up booking there email me and I will send you the restuarants and bars we loved!Natalie {Designer Bags and Dirty Diapers}https://www.blogger.com/profile/17353793755653007746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8752648562833998799.post-64161252849888498192012-10-30T14:33:11.187-04:002012-10-30T14:33:11.187-04:00I was born and raised and still live here and Flor...I was born and raised and still live here and Florida! My good friend did her bachelorette in Miami but she was wanting to go out the whole time to LIV and Mansion, etc. It's very fast paced and a party town. Like Emily said, Fort Lauderdale is a quieter version that is still nice. Las Olas is very upscale :) Key West is always a good time, just know that it is SUPER casual and depending on timing could be Spring Break. <br /><br />Check out Siesta Key (near Sarasota). They have a fun strip of bars and the most beautiful beach in the nation... hope that helps!Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13367879851217076715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8752648562833998799.post-40800775512417182952012-10-30T14:18:40.850-04:002012-10-30T14:18:40.850-04:00I really liked Em & Jef...but I love Sean!

It was the perfect group size for dinners and going out. We stayed in South Beach the whole time and never went into downtown Miami.<br /><br />For mine, we rented a house on the beach. It was perfect for a big crowd (8 girls). A big city is really fun, but it seems like it's all focused on "what's next". I loved the beach house idea because we went out one night and the other night we stayed in, had a lingerie shower, and played games. We had a chance to relax and catch up.

The other keys will be less crazy, but you'll definitely need a car. <br /><br />The Gulf coast area of Anna Maria/Longboat Key/Siesta Key is really beautiful and more relaxed that time of year. It's perfect for beach lounging, dinner, and maybe some beach bars.

I attended school in Florida and a ton of local students go down there. It is wild.. but could add to the party atmosphere. One of my favorite areas is Anna Maria Island/Longboat Key/Siesta Key on the west coast of Florida. It is beautiful and has a smaller, beachy feel. Nothing like Miami. There are some beach bars in Siesta Key, too. And you'll see the pretty white sand and blue waters!Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17406995186398578710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8752648562833998799.post-86896132281928381702012-10-30T13:52:22.048-04:002012-10-30T13:52:22.048-04:00We went to Miami for my sister's Bach and whil...We went to Miami for my sister's Bach and while we had fun, I'm not sure I would recommend it if you're not a clubbing type. Most of the nightlight there are clubs - and like others have said, it's expensive. Expensive drinks. Cover charges upwards of $20 just to get in the clubs. I wasn't sold on Miami after we went - but a lot of people love it. I went to Vegas for my Bachelorette, but that was a clubbing experience too...but you can get lots of free entries and drinks as a girl in Vegas. :) If you're not into clubbing, maybe do Destin, FL or another Florida beach (West Palm?) that will still be warm, but have more of a chill beach bar atmosphere. I'll be in Nashville for a Bachelorette in January - I've never been, so I'm excited to put on my cowgirl boots, tease my hair, and have fun. :)Charleston Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01902906569974659027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8752648562833998799.post-70558364163556128802012-10-30T13:16:11.070-04:002012-10-30T13:16:11.070-04:00I am still upset about Emily and Jef...
