Earlier this summer, Miss J’s super creative maid of honor put together the best bachelorette party that I have ever attended. The maid of honor hosted the party at her home. We didn’t have any plans to go out, which was a huge relief. Sometimes it’s way more fun to stay in and not have to worry about bar hopping and driving, let alone creepy guys who hassle the bride-to-be (I have seen this happen a lot). Also, Michigan hasn’t banned smoking in bars yet, and I hate coming home smelling like an ashtray.

The “Silver Screen Siren” themed agenda included cocktails, sassy snacks and cute bridal cupcake consumption, dressing up, doing Hollywood-esque hair and makeup, trying on wigs and hats, conducting random photo shoots with the backdrop that was set up the whole night, costume changes, watching vintage movies, and showering Miss J with cute underthings for her honeymoon. There was also a sign up sheet at the door, where each guest had to make up a name for the night using a title or name from three different columns. I think mine was Miss Trixie Deluxe. K’s was Duchess Von Bosom… you get the idea. We had a blast!

On to the pictures! First up, we have the stunning bachelorette herself:

Doesn’t she look amazing?

Here Miss K displays the makeup table that we set up—notice the cute dressing room lights, courtesy of my wonderful maid of honor Miss L:

Another demonstration by me, in my favorite vintage dress that I own!

I wore Miss K’s cute crochet gloves, but my engagement ring wouldn’t fit on my finger! I had some pinky bling instead:

Here are the amazing cupcakes that Sparky made and decorated:

We loved the photo booth!

I love love love this dress. I found it in L.A. about three years ago. I seriously considered wearing it as a wedding dress… maybe I will change into it for an after party?

Miss J and the lovely hostess get crazy with the pantsuits:

The whole crew, Vanity Fair Style!

I have never seen so many feathers and sequins in my life, and I have seen a lot!

Miss J at the end of the night, eating tiny plastic grooms. Notice the rack of dress up clothes behind her, and the old Hollywood film on screen.

That’s about it! We had the best time ever. Having the photo shoot area was great, as you can see we loved it and have some really fun pictures. Speaking of which, all pictures here were taken by me or Mrs. A, or whichever party girl was standing behind the tripod at the photo area. Photoshop filmstrips and the silver screen were by Mrs. A.
