The Activity Column Catherine Dugan’s guide to getting out there... this week, celebrate your bachelorette party in Cape May! Marriage has always been about more than the happy couple. Early Roman weddings required 10 male witnesses. In feudal China, a group of women protected the bride as she traveled to her wedding, to confuse both earthly bandits after her dowry and spiteful demons out to steal her happiness. Similarly, the groom’s “best man” would be his family’s best swordsman, and his other attendants would be ready to fight off the bride’s rival suitors. Eighteenth century English brides asked their bridesmaids to carry bouquets of garlic and herbs to drive away evil spirits. Even among these serious duties, the wedding party also found time to celebrate their soon-to-be-married friends. Spartans — not known for their partying — toasted the groom before a wedding. Germans gathered to break porcelain to bring good luck. Irish groomsmen played pranks designed to be sure the groom had a sense of humor — a helpful tool for marriage. In the early 20th century, pre-wedding parties began to focus on the groom, with the term “bachelor party” first appearing in 1922. “Bachelorette party” did not appear in print until 1981. Today, both bachelor and bachelorette parties are common, with bachelorettes, in particular, choosing to celebrate in Cape May. Cape May has all the ingredients for a successful gathering. Take time for a little exercise with a beach walk, a yoga class or a trip on the rail bike. Consider relax- ing together with a spa day (capemaydayspa. com.) Embrace your younger selves with a Skeeball contest at the arcade, followed by a trip to the Fudge Kitchen. Architecture aficionados will enjoy a trolley tour — or, for today’s brides, who grew up with Harry Potter, the “Spirits and Oddities” tour (capemaymac. org). Hire a limousine or a party bus for a trip to a winery — Jessie Creek’s tasting spirals are perfect for social media (jessiecreekwinery. com). History buffs can combine a visit to Historic Cold Spring Village with a visit to the Cold Spring Brewery, housed in a restored 1804 barn on the same property (hcsv.org.) Nauti Spirits Distillery has more than its cool logo — enjoy cocktails made from local botanicals, indoor and outdoor games, and music (nautispirits.com). Plan ahead for transportation if you’re going to be drinking — rideshare services are unpredictable in town, and the free jitney doesn’t run in the off season. Consider walking — always the best choice in Cape May, or a designated driver.
