Historic Squares Walking Tour
Chloe is an Aesthete — she curates the vibe and notices every architectural detail. A guided stroll through Savannah's 22 historic squares with stories of the city's dramatic past sets the tone for a weekend rooted in beauty and history. This is the arrival-day activity that settles everyone in without overwhelming the schedule.
Book it →Mansion on Forsyth Park Afternoon Tea
An Aesthete lives for curated, beautiful moments — and Savannah's most atmospheric afternoon tea, served in the Marble Garden Courtyard at 700 Drayton Street, is exactly that. Tiered sandwiches, scones, and petit fours in an art-filled mansion. This is the centerpiece of Day 2, a refined pause before the evening's comedy show.
Book it →Savannah Mural & Street Art Walking Tour
For an Aesthete, street art and murals are a pilgrimage. This guided tour through Savannah's most colorful and creative districts (Starland District, River Street murals) feeds Chloe's eye for design and composition. Perfect for morning energy and photo ops before the tea ceremony.
Book it →Savannah Food Tour (Historic District)
An Aesthete cares deeply about the *presentation* and *story* behind food. This guided food tour through the Historic District hits 4–5 local gems with tastings and history — oysters, Low Country cuisine, local chocolate. It's the perfect arrival-day activity that doubles as dinner and orientation.
Book it →Savannah Boudoir Photography Session
A boudoir session in a historic Savannah home studio with Victorian and gothic styling options is the ultimate Aesthete moment — intimate, curated, and a keepsake for Chloe. This is her moment to feel celebrated before the big night. Coordinate with the photographer to capture the bridesmaids' energy too.

Day 1 — Wheels Down, Chloe's Vision Begins
Arrival at Victorian District Group Home
Check in, settle into rooms, unpack. The house is HQ for the weekend — get familiar with the kitchen, pool, and courtyard. Chloe picks her room first (bride's prerogative).
Tip: Assign someone to do a quick house tour and snap a photo of the group on the porch for the group chat.
Downtime at the house
Pool time, outfit planning, pre-game energy. This is where inside jokes form — let it breathe.
Tip: Chill music, cold drinks, no schedule pressure.
Historic Squares Walking Tour
Meet your guide at Forsyth Park for a 90-minute stroll through Savannah's 22 historic squares. Learn the stories behind the Spanish moss, the architecture, and the city's dramatic past. This is the perfect arrival-day activity — it orients the group and feeds Chloe's eye for beauty and history.
Tip: Wear comfortable walking shoes and bring a camera. The golden-hour light on the squares is unreal.
Savannah Food Tour (Historic District)
Meet your guide at a central Historic District location for a 2.5-hour food tour hitting 4–5 local gems: oyster bar, Low Country cuisine spot, local chocolate maker, craft cocktail bar. This doubles as dinner and a curated introduction to Savannah's food scene. An Aesthete will love the *story* behind each stop.
Tip: Eat a light lunch so you're hungry for all the tastings. Wear something you can move in.
Return to house, settle in
Debrief over wine on the porch. Early night — Day 2 is the big one.
Tip: Set a group alarm for 9:00 AM tomorrow so no one sleeps through the boudoir session.
Day 2 — The Main Event: Chloe's Moment
Breakfast at the house
Stock the kitchen the night before with pastries, fruit, yogurt, coffee, and mimosa fixings. Everyone eats together — low-key, no rush.
Tip: Assign someone to make a killer playlist for breakfast energy.
Savannah Boudoir Photography Session (Chloe + bridesmaids)
Head to the historic home studio for Chloe's boudoir session. Coordinate with the photographer to capture 15–20 minutes of the bridesmaids cheering her on, laughing, and celebrating — these candid moments are gold. Chloe gets her intimate shots; the group gets memories of her feeling celebrated.
Tip: Have everyone wear something that photographs well (jewel tones, linen, no logos). Bring a speaker for music during the session.
Downtime at the house + outfit planning
Return to the house. Pool time, naps, outfit changes for the afternoon. This is the breathing room before the tea ceremony — let people recover and get ready.
Tip: Chloe should pick her tea outfit now — something that makes her feel beautiful and photo-ready.
Savannah Mural & Street Art Walking Tour
A guided 2-hour tour through Savannah's most colorful districts (Starland District, River Street murals, local galleries). An Aesthete's dream — street art, composition, color, design. Perfect afternoon energy before the tea ceremony.
Tip: Bring a good camera or phone. The Starland murals are Instagram gold, and the light at 2 PM is perfect for photos.
Return to house, get ready for tea
Quick freshen-up, change into tea outfits, touch up makeup. The tea ceremony is at 5:00 PM — leave by 4:45 PM to arrive on time.
Tip: Assign someone to do a final group photo on the porch in tea outfits before you leave.
Mansion on Forsyth Park Afternoon Tea
Arrive at 700 Drayton Street for Savannah's most atmospheric afternoon tea. Tiered sandwiches, scones with clotted cream, petit fours, and champagne served in the Marble Garden Courtyard or Bösendorfer Lounge. This is the refined centerpiece of Day 2 — Chloe is the guest of honor, and the bridesmaids celebrate her with elegance and laughter.
Tip: Reserve the table under Chloe's name 2 weeks ahead. Request a quiet corner if possible so the group can talk without shouting.
Return to house, pre-game for the night
Back at the Victorian house. Freshen up, change into night-out outfits, do a final hair/makeup check. Pre-game with champagne and snacks on the porch or in the courtyard. Build energy for the comedy show and dive bar crawl.
Tip: Have a shot or two, but pace yourself — it's a long night ahead.
Dinner before comedy (casual spot near the theater)
Quick dinner at a casual spot near the comedy venue — something fast and fun, not a sit-down affair. Think tacos, burgers, or a casual bistro. This fuels the group before the show.
Tip: Book a table for 8 at a casual spot that can turn over quickly. Aim to be done by 9:30 PM.
Comedy Show (Savannah Comedy Theater or similar)
Catch a live comedy show at a local venue. Savannah has a solid comedy scene — check what's running in April 2026. This is the big-night entertainment, and it's way more fun than a club for a group of 8 who want to laugh together.
Tip: Buy tickets online 1 week ahead. Arrive 15 minutes early to grab good seats. Tip the comedians if they do crowd work with Chloe.
Dive Bar Crawl (McDonough's → Congress Street Up → Rocks on the Roof)
After the comedy show, hit the dive bars. Start at McDonough's Restaurant & Lounge (iconic late-night Savannah dive, cheap drinks, no-frills crowd) for 45 minutes. Then walk to Congress Street Up (multi-level bar on the go-to nightlife strip, rooftop deck, fun social crowd) for an hour. Close out at Rocks on the Roof (casual rooftop lounge with river views, approachable cocktails) for the final hour. This is the *real* nightlife — gritty, fun, and authentically Savannah.
Tip: Start at McDonough's because it's the grittiest and sets the tone. The bartenders know the regulars and love bachelorette groups. Tip well and they'll take care of you.
Day 3 — Recovery, Reflection, and Goodbye
Recovery Brunch at The Collins Quarter
Savannah's most photogenic brunch spot — floral decor, lavender lattes, and eggs benedict that photographs like a magazine. This is the final group meal, and it's beautiful. Chloe sits at the head of the table. The bridesmaids share favorite moments from the weekend over mimosas.
Tip: Book a table for 8 at 10:00 AM, 2 weeks ahead. Request a table by the window or in the floral room for the best light and vibe.
Light activity: Flower Crown Workshop (optional, at the house)
If energy is high, do a quick 45-minute flower crown workshop at the house using fresh blooms from a local florist. Everyone makes a crown, takes photos, and keeps them as a keepsake. If the group is too hungover, skip this and just hang at the house.
Tip: Order the flowers the night before from a local florist. Have scissors, floral wire, and a YouTube tutorial ready.
Pack, settle up, and depart
Head back to the house, pack, and prepare for airport runs. Settle the Venmo for shared expenses (lodging, group dinners, activities). Exchange hugs and take a final group photo on the porch.
Tip: Assign someone to collect Venmo payments the night before so there's no scrambling on departure day.

Pack This
- • Comfortable walking shoes (for the tours — you'll do 4+ hours of walking)
- • A nice outfit for the tea ceremony (linen dress, blouse, or jumpsuit — something photo-ready)
- • Sunscreen and a cute hat (Savannah in April is warm and sunny)

- • Matching linen shirts or tanks (coordinate with the group for the mural tour — Chloe will love the aesthetic)

- • Electrolytes and hangover supplies (Liquid IV, Advil, ginger chews for Day 3)
Pro Tips
- • Book the Victorian house and tea ceremony 2–3 weeks ahead — April is peak season in Savannah.
- • Chloe is an Aesthete, so she'll notice every detail — coordinate outfits for at least one day (matching linen shirts for the mural tour, tea dresses for the ceremony) and she'll love it.
- • The Historic District is walkable, but wear comfortable shoes for the tours. Bring a good camera or phone for the mural tour — the light is perfect at 2 PM.
- • Savannah in April is warm (70–80°F) and humid. Pack sunscreen, a light cardigan for air-conditioned venues, and a cute hat for the tea ceremony.
- • The dive bar crawl is the real nightlife — McDonough's is iconic and cheap. Tip the bartenders well and they'll take care of the group.
- • Pre-game hard at the house before going out. The Victorian courtyard is perfect for champagne and snacks, and it saves money on bar tabs.
- • Assign someone to be the photographer for the boudoir session and the tea ceremony — these are the moments Chloe will treasure.
Group Logistics
Transport: Rideshare (Uber/Lyft) for all moves. Estimated $8–$20 per ride within the Historic District. Total transport budget: ~$80/person for the weekend (6–8 rides). No party bus needed for a group of 8 — rideshare is more flexible and cheaper.
Nightlife Strategy: Night 1 (Day 1): Food tour doubles as dinner and orientation — no separate bar crawl. Night 2 (Day 2): Comedy show at 10:00 PM (book tickets online 1 week ahead, arrive 15 min early), then dive bar crawl starting at McDonough's at 11:30 PM. Hit 3 bars in sequence: McDonough's (45 min) → Congress Street Up (1 hour) → Rocks on the Roof (final hour). No cover charges at these venues. Budget $30–$50/person for drinks across the night. No reservations needed for dive bars.
