Questions bridesmaids ask

Before she sends it to the group chat.

How many days do bridesmaids usually spend in Block Island for a bachelorette weekend?

Three days — fly in Friday afternoon, do the big dinner + nightlife Friday night, the signature daytime activity plus another dinner Saturday, and a late brunch Sunday before wheels up. Two nights works for drive-in groups; four only if the bride wants a full resort day.

What is the right group size for a Block Island bachelorette trip?

Six to ten bridesmaids is the sweet spot — big enough for a proper reservation, small enough to share one rental home and one group dinner table without splitting the party.

When should we book Block Island for a bachelorette weekend?

Lock lodging four to six months out, dinners six to eight weeks out, and the headline activity once the group flight count is confirmed. Block Island lodging tightens fast in peak wedding season (April–June and September–October).

How much does a Block Island bachelorette weekend cost per person?

Budget $550–$1,100 per bridesmaid for a three-day weekend in Block Island, RI — that covers a shared rental home, two big dinners, one activity, and nightlife. Upgrading to a boutique hotel or a private chef pushes the per-person into $1,200–$1,800.
