Im starting to plan my friends bachelorette in Cape May for next summer ( JUNE 2027) and im trying to figure out what to do. We definitely want to do a winery day and beach the other days in the day. We are going Thursday- Sunday.

-we are all in our 20’s ( yes, above 21 yrs old)

- She wants it to be fun and chill.

- She loves a live band, beach bars, drinking and catching up with the gals, nothing too crazy. Definitely will be hitting up some shopping

- There’s also 16 people going so a big group. She wants to do a beach picnic one night- I found some companies that set up on the beach.

- She also mentioned she’s open to doing a private chef at the house if there’s no places to accommodate everyone

- We do not want to go to wildwood or OC

So, I need help with the following:

- Restaurants that can accommodate large groups (open to all food types) that take reservations

- Live band/beach bar recs in cape may or is it worth ubering to Avalon area (If so drop some recs lol)

- MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION: Am I looking at houses too early? When is the normal time houses on airbnb start coming available for next summer? So far there’s like 3 houses available 🫠

- How’s the night life in cape may? Ive only been once a few years ago and there wasn’t a lot to do

-any private chef recommendations?

Seems like most of the houses for 15+ ppl are around 10k and up—- is this normal pricing for that amount of ppl and location? I don’t mind spending it just wanted to check

Does anyone have an excel spread sheet with all recommendations for Kyoto, Tokyo and Osaka ? I would like recs on activity’s, parks, street markets best sushi and matcha places , restaurants (we eat anything, not picky) it’s our first time going! I think having it organized on a sheet would help 😅

Hey everyone! I’m looking for some help to start planning my honeymoon. As of now we are pretty set on Japan! My wedding is next November (2027) -I know it’s early but I like to get started on planning itineraries and stuff. Does anyone have recommendations or an itinerary that they followed ? I definitely want to see Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto but open to exploring other places. Also not sure when exactly we will go-either a bit after the wedding or a couple months later depending on work schedules . I’d say we are leaning towards going for 12 days but again depends on work.

When’s a good season/month to go?

We definitely want activities (EX:temples, universal studies, street food markets, vintage shopping etc )

How long do you recommend in each place ?

If anyone has tips, suggestions of new places/activities, order of places to go in, that would be awesome!! We are new to all of this so we don’t know much
