Bride or die
Before Layalie Cubina's company sold balloons that spell BRIDE, sparkle hair clips that say BABE, and heart-shaped sunglasses, her garage was home to thousands of penis straws. Cubina and her husband, Brandon, who started by selling baby bedding on Amazon as a side gig, noticed there was a swelling demand for the phallic straws and ordered them en masse in various colors in 2018. They hoped to make enough money so that one of them could stay home with their kids, she tells me, figuring they could open an Etsy shop to sell them. But the demand for bachelorette decor and merch became so strong that they're both working on the business full-time (she left a career in IT in medicine, he in recruiting) and have added all the bachelorette decor you can imagine: sashes, garland backdrops, and balloons arranged to say "same penis forever" and "last disco." Their Etsy alone shop has fulfilled nearly 157,000 orders since 2018, and they also sell directly from their company anibucco. Cubina says she now gets inquiries from bridesmaids asking for help curating and decorating for a vibe, the women nervous about picking the right mylar balloons and tinsel to represent the bride. The parties evolved into "a pre-wedding because of how massive they've become," Cubina tells me. Prepping for a bachelorette party these days doesn't just mean throwing bikinis and ibuprofen in a bag: There's the custom five-by-eight foot sign, the groom's head glued to popsicle sticks, the custom temporary tattoos, genitalia-shaped glitter confetti, and the matching T-shirts and tote bags commemorating Susie's "last toast on the coast!" if you're headed for Cape Cod, or her "last rodeo" in cowboy boots in Nashville before she "saddles up" for marriage. Over the past decade, the bachelorette party has become nearly as anticipated — and sometimes as expensive — as the big wedding day. And the bridesmaids are exasperated: What was once a night out on the town has morphed into dayslong vacations where women who haven't all met before must join forces and throw a mini-Coachella to prove their love and loyalty for the bride. Just turn to TikTok to see the ongoing debate as to whether a bride is an absolute monster for asking a dozen friends to go to Greece and wear matching outfits, or if that's totally within her rights as the bride-to-be. (These should, in theory, be one-in-a-lifetime events, after all.) It's not just money for plane tickets, a spot in a cramped Airbnb, party bus, bottomless brunches, and bottle service at clubs. Friends of the bride are responsible for merch and decor and finding some unforgettable experience to tack on — and there is lots to choose from. There are Instagrammable backdrops with balloon arches, inflatable engagement ring innertubes for pool parties, and all of the personalized water bottles, bags, T-shirts, cups, and banners. There are cabana boys and Hibachi chefs for hire, allowing bachelorettes to turn poolside hangs into luxury experiences. Social media has amped up expectations for all wedding-related events from proposals to "I dos," and the boom of short-term rentals paired with more spending on travel have created a perfect set of conditions for an era of extreme bachelorette parties. It's bolstered a whole new subset of the economy, from concierge services to Etsy decor to shirtless men for hire by the hour. What was once a night out on the town has morphed into days-long vacations where women who haven't all met before must join forces and throw a mini-Coachella to prove their love and loyalty for the bride. The global bachelorette planning industry is booming, worth an estimated $650 million in 2024, according to research firm Business Research Insights. Bach, an app for planning the parties, raised $9 million in a Series A round in 2023. An attendee on the average bachelorette party pays around $1,300, according to a 2023 survey from wedding website The Knot, a figure that has jumped by $600 since 2019. (The average bachelor party attendee pays about $1,500, as men are more likely to travel to costly cities like New York or Las Vegas, and more likely to stay in hotels instead of crowding into Airbnbs.) One in 10 partygoers shells out more than $3,000. A 2021 Lending Tree survey found that a third of bridal party members went into debt for a friend's wedding, with women slightly more likely to do so (35% of bridesmaids went into debt compared to 30% of groomsmen). Nearly 60% of bridesmaids also said they "felt pressured" to spend money, compared to 43% of groomsmen. I'm guilty of opening a new travel perks credit card and spending $4,000 in three months to acquire enough points to fund my flight for my best friend's bachelorette last summer, while also losing hours of my time and my sanity trying to book a bright pink party bus in Madrid without speaking fluent Spanish. And it's bachelorette party culture that gets blamed for reshaping cities like Scottsdale and Nashville. Bars are overrun with groups of partying women and streets are filled with pedal pubs. Casey Lozano, owner and founder of Scottsdale Bachelorette, had the idea to start working a concierge service for bachelorette parties rolling through the city in 2018. He had local expertise and thought he could give groups the best recommendations, but saw that the parties also could benefit from services like decorating or having their fridges stocked with snacks and White Claws, all ready upon arrival (the average party might spend about $900 on the concierge services, Lozano says). As the bachelorette scene grew, Lozano left his career in tech to turn the side hustle into a full-time business. Scottsdale Bachelorette now pulls in $1 million in annual revenue, and he's hired 16 employees (five full-time, himself included) — he needs lots of hands during peak bachelorette season, when they may have 30 or 40 Airbnbs to deck out on any given Thursday or Friday. Lozano had never been to a bachelor or bachelorette party when he started the business. His only expertise came from knowing the Scottsdale scene and being a gay man with lots of female friends and an eye for interior design, he says. Lozano watched videos about balloon art and started stocking up on decor for popular themes like "Scottsdale before the veil" and "final fiesta." But trends are changing, and the theme requests are getting more original, like "The Princess Diaries" or " Shrek," Lozano tells me. The "final fiesta" theme, he says, is in its own final days. Cubina says the more things change, the more they stay the same — she's seeing more demand for a Pink Pony Club theme a la Chapelle Roan, but that's basically just a spin on a disco or a cowgirl theme, those same pink backdrops, disco ball balloons, and cowgirl boots coming back together. "There's a lot on the line" for bridesmaids, says Casey Lozano, founder of Scottsdale Bachelorette. Stephanie Spingler started her Etsy shop, Sassy & Co., in 2017 as an artistic side hustle while studying for her graduate degree in organic chemistry. She's sold some 17,000 orders, and still makes designs for plastic cups that pull inspiration from "Mamma Mia" or food puns (about the bride taking "a pizza his heart" or getting "scooped up"). The demand for these new designs is driven by people wanting to have "an Instagram and TikTok-worthy bachelorette that's really curated by the custom decor." Making everything custom with the bride's name and taste is a way to make the bride really feel like the festival headliner, gaining all of the attention from the women she loves most. "They are hoping and desiring to have that love, to have that warm and inviting party feel from their friends," she says. The parties may look like three days of drinking and debauchery, but there's often immense pressure for bridesmaids to pull off the perfect bachelorette trip. "There's a lot on the line" for bridesmaids and friends attending, Lozano says. "This is someone you care a lot about." As people start to have families, it's harder to get all the girls on a trip. "This may be the last time that they're able to do that together. Making her feel celebrated and making the most of that trip — to make core memories that will last a lifetime — is the goal." Gen Z brides might want something different than the themes and extravagance set in place by millennials, but that doesn't mean the bachelorette trip will die. Cubina says she thinks the parties over time will "not be as big, but I do think they'll always celebrate in one shape or form." I'm one of the women fully in my bachelorette era — I've attended four in less than two years, planning two of them. I expect to get invites to at least that many more over the next two years. Some of the merch and goodies and disco balls might get reused from one to the next. I've become a pro at making survival kits of Liquid IV and Advil, breaking out my average graphic design skills in Canva to make custom itineraries, and estimating the right amount of alcohol to stock up on. It's a modern ritual that does seem to really mean something to my friends. And hey, one day, it'll be on them to return the favor and prove their love for me by painstakingly hanging carefully coordinated streamers and balloons.

GoGordian Real Estate Offers Maisonettes and Villas for Sale in Paphos, Ideal for Summer Living and Retirement
GoGordian Real Estate has announced the availability of a new selection of maisonettes and villas for sale in Paphos, Cyprus, further expanding its portfolio of residential properties in the region. Known for its picturesque landscapes, rich historical heritage, and consistently warm Mediterranean climate, Paphos continues to draw significant interest from both local and international buyers seeking properties suited for seasonal retreats or long-term living. The newly listed maisonettes and villas are situated in prime locations across Paphos, offering a balance of privacy, convenience, and proximity to essential amenities. Many of these homes are located near the sea, nature trails, and key urban centers, making them particularly attractive to those looking to settle in Cyprus or invest in holiday homes. The expansion aligns with increased demand in the local real estate market, especially among retirees from Europe and individuals seeking a second home in a sun-drenched location. Paphos, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has long maintained a reputation as one of the island's most desirable residential hubs. Its combination of archaeological sites, scenic coastlines, and laid-back lifestyle continues to position the city as a preferred destination for foreign nationals interested in relocating to Cyprus. The properties now available through GoGordian Real Estate include both new developments and carefully maintained resale homes. Maisonettes offer a practical option for small families or couples, while the detached villas provide larger living spaces, often accompanied by gardens, private pools, or panoramic views of the coastline. These features appeal to individuals seeking both tranquility and year-round enjoyment in a region that offers over 300 days of sunshine annually. According to a spokesperson for GoGordian Real Estate, Paphos experiences a continued interest from prospective buyers in key European markets. 'There has been a clear and steady increase in inquiries from clients looking for well-positioned homes that can serve as permanent residences or seasonal getaways,' said the spokesperson. 'Paphos offers the right mix of infrastructure, natural beauty, and affordability, making it an ideal location for those planning for retirement or looking to enjoy summers in Cyprus.' The real estate firm has also noted a shift in buyer preferences following recent global lifestyle changes. Increasingly, individuals are seeking homes that accommodate flexible living arrangements, with a focus on outdoor space, home office setups, and proximity to local services. Properties in Paphos cater to these needs, offering adaptable layouts in quiet residential areas that remain well connected to healthcare, retail, and leisure facilities. GoGordian Real Estate's continued investment in the Paphos region also reflects a strategic response to the urban development plans and infrastructure upgrades currently underway in the area. Road improvements, enhanced public spaces, and initiatives promoting sustainable tourism have contributed to the city's long-term appeal. As a result, residential property values have remained stable, with signs of growth in high-demand locations, especially those near the coast or within heritage zones. The newly available properties are spread across several sought-after neighborhoods, including Agios Theodoros, Geroskipou, Pegeia, Neo Chorio and Latchi. Each area offers a distinct living experience, from vibrant seaside activity to quiet hillside retreats. Prospective buyers will find a diverse range of architectural styles, from contemporary minimalist villas to traditional Mediterranean-style homes, with options tailored to various lifestyle preferences and budgets. GoGordian Real Estate has reinforced its commitment to facilitating smooth and transparent transactions for buyers. Legal and administrative support is provided to assist foreign nationals throughout the purchasing process, ensuring that all regulatory and documentation requirements are met with precision. This level of guidance is particularly significant for retirees who are new to overseas property ownership. While demand for properties in Paphos remains strong, GoGordian Real Estate emphasizes the importance of early planning for interested buyers. The real estate market in Cyprus has become increasingly competitive, and high-quality properties in strategic locations are often sold quickly. The company encourages potential investors to reach out for updated listings and professional consultation to explore the available options. GoGordian Real Estate's broad property portfolio in Paphos responds to the growing demand for residential opportunities available across Cyprus. With an increasing number of people considering the island for seasonal living, semi-permanent relocation, or retirement, the focus remains on offering properties that meet practical, aesthetic, and long-term value expectations. As Cyprus continues to attract attention as a destination for quality living in the Mediterranean, GoGordian Real Estate remains positioned to play a central role in supporting that transition for homebuyers.
