Large suitcase - Best for longer hen weekends or multiple nights. Plenty of space for outfits, shoes and extras but might not be necessary for short trips.
Carry-on suitcase - Perfect for one to two nights or light packing. Great for flying without checked luggage.
Backpack - Perfect for hands-free travel and casual trips. Best for light packers but limits outfit options.
