Hey, not all brides are crossing their fingers that a sexy fireman or a sultry police officer will show up at their bachelorette bash! Plus, the truth is that a stripper can get pretty pricey…

So, before you hire that Magic Mike look-alike to make an appearance, check out ten other ways to surprise the bride-to-be (and put all those dollar bills to good use).

1. Fly in a friend from far away.  If your bride has a pal who couldn’t make the trek for financial reasons, consider putting the stripper money towards her flight.

2. Bring in a professional chef.  Hire a local chef to come prepare dinner for the bride and party-goers before a big night out.

3. Get the bride a blowout. If you’ve got the budget, consider treating the whole crew to an afternoon at the salon.

4. Hire a stylist for the bride.  Give your bride the gift of style by hiring a professional to help her pick out a new party outfit.

5. Book a sweet suite.  Reserve a super comfy hotel room where the gals can hang out all weekend long.

6. Bring in a Tarot Card Reader or a Fortune Teller. Hey, strippers aren’t the only special guests who can entertain…

7. Snag tickets to a concert.  Get the group tickets to see the bride’s favorite band or artist!

8. Serve up a late-night snack. After a long night out, break out your bestie’s go-to midnight snack for the whole gang.

9. Schedule a group yoga sesh.  Wrap up the weekend with a Sunday morning yoga session.

10. Book a spa day for your pal. Treat your girl to a post-party recovery spa treatment. She’ll need it!
