Our Founder’s Story: Why We Created the Rally Bag™

Our Founder’s Story: Why We Created the Rally Bag™

If you’ve ever woken up after a wedding, bachelorette party, or weekend getaway and said, “I am never drinking again,” you’re not alone.

We’ve been there.

The pounding head. The dry mouth. The where-did-I-leave-my-shoes confusion.

And the kicker? You’re still supposed to look cute, show up to brunch, and rally for round two.

That’s where the Rally Bag™ was born.

A Real Problem (with Zero Solutions)

It all started during a bachelorette weekend in Scottsdale. I had helped plan the itinerary down to the minute—dinner reservations, party bus, pool day, matching outfits... all of it. What I didn’t plan for was the hangovers.

Day two hit hard. One girl was trying to choke down an ibuprofen with her iced matcha. Another was Googling if it was safe to take Pepto and Dramamine at the same time. Someone else was dry heaving into a towel because the Uber driver had the nerve to play music.

I looked around and realized:
We have a glam squad, an itinerary, and a group chat called “Hot Girl Weekend 2023”... but no one brought anything to help us recover.

No kits. No hangover patches. No gum. No wipes. Just vibes—and regret.

So after barely surviving that trip, I got to work.

What I Wanted Didn’t Exist—So I Made It

I searched Amazon, travel shops, even CVS. I wanted something cute, compact, and curated—a grab-and-go recovery kit that didn’t scream “middle-aged man in Vegas” or “expired first-aid kit from 2006.” Everything I found was either too bulky, too boring, or just...ugly.

That’s when I realized:
We didn’t need more pill bottles. We needed a moment. A kit that looked good in your flat lay and actually helped you rally.

So I made the first version of the Rally Bag™ by hand—literally stuffing zipper bags with Advil, face wipes, gum, and electrolyte packets. I brought them to the next bachelorette trip, and the reaction was instant.

“Wait, who packed this? She’s a genius.”
“This bag just saved my life.”
“Can I buy 10 for my wedding welcome bags?”

And just like that, the Rally Bag wasn’t just a personal project anymore. It was a business.

Designed for the Moments That Matter (and the Morning After)

The Rally Bag™ is for the girl who planned the whole itinerary... and the girl who showed up hungover in sunglasses. It’s for the bride squad, the birthday trip, the wine-tasting weekend, the “we’re too old for this” reunion.

Each bag is curated to cover the essentials—without feeling clinical.
Inside, you’ll find things like:

  • A hangover patch with 20 vitamins
  • Electrolyte mix to hydrate fast
  • Advil for that brunch-table headache
  • Face and hand wipes (because sweat + tequila = danger)
  • Orbit gum
  • Ginger chews
  • And even a scrunchie for your emergency hair-up moment

We even made the bag resealable—because hydration is cute, but leaking gum wrappers in your tote bag is not.

A Brand Built on Real Life

The name “Rally” came naturally. It’s what we kept telling each other every weekend. “Rally for brunch!” “Rally, babe—we’re going out again.” It became a verb, a vibe, and now, a brand.

Our mission is simple:
Help people recover faster so they can enjoy the moments that matter.

Whether you’re a bride planning welcome gifts, a party girl prepping for Coachella, or just someone who hates feeling like garbage on a Sunday morning, the Rally Bag™ is made for you.

It’s Not Just a Product—It’s a Ritual

We’ve shipped thousands of Rally Bags across the U.S. Our kits have shown up in hotel welcome bags, bachelorette party boxes, even corporate retreats (because hangovers don’t discriminate).

But our favorite moments? When people tag us in the aftermath:

  • A girl in pajamas with smudged mascara holding her Rally Bag like it’s holy water
  • A bridesmaid squad toasting Pedialyte with hangover patches stuck to their arms
  • Someone calling it “the best thing I didn’t know I needed”

That’s what keeps us going. That’s why we do it.

The Rally Isn’t Over

From one tired party girl to another: we see you. We are you. And we built Rally for the chaos, the glam, the unexpected mess—and the morning after.

So next time you’re packing for a weekend, don’t forget to throw in the one thing that might just save your Sunday.

The Rally Bag™: Pack it. Party. Rally.
