    9 Dog Breeds That Look Like Puppies Even When They're Fully Grown

    9 Dog Breeds That Look Like Puppies Even When They're Fully Grown

    Puppies are irresistible. We fall in love with their big eyes, little button noses, fluffy tails, and clumsy paws. And yet, like any pet, puppies grow up and turn into dogs. Some breeds, like the Old English Sheepdog or Great Dane, will grow to become larger in size than most people. But not all dogs are destined to become giants. There are some breeds that stay small in size even when they're fully grown. You may want a forever puppy if you are used to smaller animals. Maybe you have a small apartment or just want a canine companion that you can easily carry along with you anywhere you go. Small dogs are also great for families with young children or those of senior age who are best matched with a breed they can physically handle. Fortunately, some specialty dog breeds are mixed to look like puppies throughout their entire lives—and they are sure to melt your heart the second you lay your eyes on them.

Your bachelorette party, wherever you choose to spend it, will likely be one of the most memorable parts of your engagement. The days or weekends spent with the friends from all parts of your life will be ones you cherish, now and 20 years down the road. That's why so many brides-to-be and their bridesmaids spend so much time choosing the perfect location,  curating an activity-filled itinerary, and making sure that all of the VIPs can attend. If you're at the very beginning of this process, you might be feeling a little bit of pressure. How do you ensure that this pre-wedding celebration lives up to its full potential?

Enter the following real brides-to-be, whose bachelorette parties didn't just meet their expectations—they shattered them. From sipping and sun-bathing on oversized unicorn floats in sunny Florida to racing ATVs on the beaches of Cabo San Lucas, these women are the definition of bachelorette party goals. The best part? So many of these epic parties prove that you don't need to travel halfway around the world to throw the all-girls celebration of your dreams. Make like one bride and follow up a group dinner at your all-time favorite restaurant with a scavenger hunt in your own city. The options are truly limitless.

Ahead, you'll discover some of the most picture-perfect bachelorette parties Instagram has to offer. Whether you copy these ladies' celebration destinations, their next-level outfits (we're loving these "Bride Tribe" bathing suits!), or their photo-ops, their upbeat events are sure to inspire your own.

For her Mediterranean bachelorette party, Cyclades Accessories designer Leto took a yacht cruise of the Greek Islands, including Spetses, Hydra, and Poros. "The weather, the islands, and the mood," were all highlights, said Leto, but dressing up for this photo was particularly fun. All the girls posed in Cyclades hats—the bride differentiated hers from her pack of bridesmaids with one of her Twilly scarves.

Yes, You Can Have a Relaxing Bachelorette Party in Vegas—Here's How

Gaby and her crew chose the quintessential bachelorette party destination: Las Vegas. They lounged at their hotel, the iconic MGM Grand, by day and wandered the strip at night, where they popped into a few of the next-level nightclubs. When they entered the club XS, they were shocked to see the Chain Smokers up on stage. Couldn't get any better than that, right? It did. Jennifer Lopez also hopped on stage to perform one song for the crowd. The group's celebrity sightings only continued at Wet Republic, where they pool-partied two feet away from Calvin Harris.

Ana, a longtime country music fan, knew exactly where she and her best friends were headed to celebrate her soon-to-be-married status: Nashville. In addition to exploring the city and its cuisine (she recommends Nashville Hot Chicken at Party Fowl!), she and her squad hit up the first Market for Makers, where they shopped at local artisans and companies' pop-up shops. To thank her girls for the trip of a lifetime, she gifted them Bro Denim jackets, customized with unique patches that represented a special aspect of their friendship.

Elise's squad whisked her away to Temecula, California, for a weekend full of pool time, wine-tasting, and dancing in the district's Old Town. The highlights? Rocking out to '90s hits (like N'Sync!) during a Jeep vineyard tour and getting in some time at the spa, which is where the most magical moment of the trip happened. "We all went around and told each other how we met the bride and our favorite thing/memory about her," explained the bride's sister, April. "It was the perfect icebreaker since several of the girls didn't know each other."

Amanda's bachelorette party involved a healthy dose of fitness. She and her group—they were lodging together in a friend's lake house—woke up early on a Saturday morning for yoga on the beach.

Ahead of her wedding, Sarah Beth spent a weekend in Savannah, Georgia, surrounded by her bridesmaids. Everything about the weekend was "surreal," she said, from the group's Tybee Island beach house rental to their Savannah Pedals bike tour of the city. They visited many of the area's most famous pubs and bars and finished off their celebration with a dinner at the legendary gastropub, Churchill's. Her favorite moment? Seeing all of her dearest friends, from all different parts of her life, gather together to celebrate her upcoming marriage.

How to Throw the Ultimate Bachelorette Party in Mexico

A Cabo San Lucas bachelorette party was a no brainer for bride-to-be Alyssa, since the destination was just a short plane ride away from her native Southern California. She and her squad visited the new Omnia DayClub, which was an absolute hit. "Just imagine a Vegas dayclub, but right on the beach! Doesn't get any better than that," she said. Bachelorette luck struck when Alyssa won free bottle service at The Mango Deck (she was granted free drinks at all of the local clubs!). The next day, the group embraced the bride's love of sport and rented ATVs to explore the Cabo desert and beach terrain.
