Planning a Cape Cod bachelorette weekend?

Why Fridge & Pantry Stocking Matters for a Cape Cod Bachelorette

Cape Cod bachelorette weekends are meant to be fun and stress-free: beach days, coastal dinners, boat outings, and late nights with your group. What guests underestimate is how much time and coordination grocery shopping can take. This is why fridge stocking has become one of the most popular add-on services for vacationers and bachelorette parties on Cape Cod.

When Coastal Party Company stocks your Airbnb ahead of time, you:

• Save hours on arrival day

• Avoid multiple grocery runs

• Keep the group hydrated and energized

• Elevate the overall experience

• Make the weekend feel intentional and well-planned

What to Stock for a Cape Cod Bachelorette Weekend

Easy Breakfast Essentials

Most bachelorette mornings start slow, think coffee on the deck, casual breakfasts, and minimal cleanup.

Recommended items:

• Bagels, muffins, or croissants

• Cream cheese, butter, jam

• Yogurt cups or parfaits

• Fresh fruit (bananas, berries, grapes, citrus)

• Granola or protein bars

Coffee & Morning Drinks

This is non-negotiable. Must-haves:

• Ground coffee or pods (ask your host about the machine!)

• Oat milk, almond milk, and cream

• Sweeteners (sugar, honey)

• Tea

• Bottled iced coffee or cold brew

• Juices (and Prosecco for mimosas)

Drinks & Alcohol Basics

Even if you’re heading out most nights, having basics stocked makes pre-games and downtime easier.

Popular choices:

• Champagne or prosecco

• Vodka, tequila, or canned cocktails

• Seltzers and light beers

• Juice for mixers (orange, cranberry, pineapple)

• Fresh citrus (lemons & limes)

• Ice (check for cooler and freezer size)

Always confirm what the bride prefers and include non-alcoholic options for balance.

Hydration & Hangover Helpers

This is one of the most overlooked and most appreciated categories.

Essentials:

• Bottled (or canned) water or large water jugs

• Electrolytes— powder packets, sports drinks, Pedialyte, coconut water, etc.

• Ginger chews, Tums, tea

• Pain relief— ibuprofen or acetaminophen

Snacks for Daytime & Late Nights

Keep these beach-friendly, shareable, and low-mess.

Stock items like:

• Chips, popcorn, pretzels

• Cheese, crackers, and charcuterie basics

• Trail mix or nuts

• Chocolate or sweet treats

• Individual snack packs for outings

Pro Tip: ask us about our custom gift snack packs and snackle boxes!

Food and Beverage Extras

Don’t want to spend your bachelorette weekend doing dishes? Opt for recyclable or biodegradable alternatives that make cleanup quick and easy — especially helpful for large groups and short stays.

Consider including:

• Biodegradable plates, cups, and utensils

• Napkins

• Paper towels

These simple extras go a long way during a Cape Cod bachelorette weekend, whether you’re hosting a casual night in, a beach picnic, or a pre-dinner gathering at your rental. Many Cape Cod Airbnbs are minimally stocked, so planning ahead helps avoid last-minute store runs.

Pro tip: These items can be included with our fridge stocking services, so everything is ready when your group arrives.

Toiletries & Comfort Extras

These small details make a big difference for guests.

Helpful items:

• Extra toilet paper

• Makeup remover wipes

• Sunscreen and aloe

• Hand soap and paper goods

• Tissues and cleaning wipes

A Quick Note on Sheets & Linens in Cape Cod Airbnbs

One important thing many groups don’t realize until arrival: some Cape Cod Airbnbs do not provide sheets or full linen sets, especially during peak summer season or in privately managed homes.

Before your weekend:

• Double-check the Airbnb listing for linens and towels

• Confirm bed sizes and number of beds

• Plan ahead if linens are not included

If you discover sheets aren’t provided, we’re happy to help source and coordinate linens for your stay so your group arrives to beds that are fully set and ready. This is a common add-on we handle alongside fridge stocking and welcome bag services to keep everything seamless.

Bachelorette-Themed Touches

These elevate your weekend from “group trip” to “bachelorette experience.”

Ideas:

• Welcome notes or itineraries

• Matching cups

• Bride-themed snacks

• Small favors with custom labels

Many groups combine fridge stocking with bachelorette welcome bags for a cohesive and festive setup.

Common Fridge Stocking Mistakes to Avoid

• Underbuying food and alcohol

• Skipping non-alcoholic beverages

• Not surveying your guests for requests and dietary needs

• Forgetting arrival-day meals

• Not checking fridge or freezer size

• Leaving everything until arrival
