Look what the postman brought to my mailbox today!
My bachelorette party invite! I haven’t been involved with the planning and was delighted to see that it will be a 1950s-themed costume party. 
I looove to dress up, so I am super excited. And even though I am up to my eyeballs in planning (two and a half weeks to go, ladies!), I am spending my time thinking about costume inspiration. 
I was thrilled to see a photo of the lovely Mrs. Draper from Mad Men on the invitation.
Oh, Betty… how your hair & wardrobe make me drool.
Being the costume dork that I am, I love dressing up in “pairs”. (Miss Crab Cake, I loved your engagement party post!)
Many of the Taffetes have been my partners in costume crime over the years, and I have an idea brewing for Miss K for the upcoming bash. Here we are on Halloween as Krispy Kreme workers:
You can’t see it, but we have roller skates on.
I am going to propose that we dress up as Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell from the film Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. I think it would be a blast!
I’m loving the beret action in this shot…
A double wedding? Sounds like a good costume opportunity to me…
You’ll have to excuse the poor res on this one… it is so campy, I just had to include it.
This orange dress is seriously awesome.

I am going to have to squeeze in some time to scour my closet and maybe a vintage store or two before the party.
I seriously can’t wait!!! Some of the costume suggestions on the invite are The Good Housewife, The Girl Next Door, The Scandalous Diva, and The Naughty Pin Up. What theme would you choose?

Glad to see I’m not the only one obsessed with Betty’s style
So fun! I love this theme! I like all the choices, I think I’d go with whatever costume I could fins that I like best sicne they are all fun choices!
I love your bachelorette party theme!! I love that movie Gentlemen Prefer Blondes! Seriously you and your friend are way too hot in your krispy kreme outfits, I cant wait to see your pics! ditto on the stressin out cuz wedding is in 2.5 weeks! I am right there with you!!
I love Betty Page! But I would probably go with Marilyn since I’m a blond.
What a fun idea for a Bachelorette Party!
Sounds like so much fun! Your girls are awesome for selecting a themed b-party — and especially one that so appeals to you! Can’t wait to see what look you come up with!
I love this! Obsessed! My wedding “theme” is Old Hollywood Glamour. While for the most part people roll thier eyes when I tell them I want to look like Ava Gardner on my wedding day, I think doing something like this for a Bachelorette Party would be so fun!! I was thinking a dress as your favorite movie character would be fun, or an Oscars dressup party…. so many possibilities…. ooooh, Natalie Wood from Rebel Without a Cause would be cute!
OH I LOVE THIS!!! I can’t wait to see how it turns out and what you come up with to wear!!!! So fun!
Holy cow. Awesomesauce. ^_^ Gentlemen Prefer Blondes has probably been my favorite movie since the 3rd grade (we were introduced to the joys of musicals at a young age ^_^).
What fun! Your girls are awesome… Can’t wait to see how it turns out! :o)
That looks like so much fun! Your krispy kreme outfit makes me laugh… Mr. T and I dressed as a cop and a donut for a “perfect pairs” party once. I wore a krispy kreme hat like yours, but I dressed up as the actual DONUT- big fudge and sprinkle laden innertube-turned-donut and all
Ahhhh!! I wish I wish I wish I was in your circle of friends! You are going to have a blast. I am soooo sending this to my BMs as a hint hint for my bachelorette.
oh… and I’d be the naughty pinup lol.
What an awesome theme! I can’t wait to see pictures, I can already tell this is going to be so much fun!
I love it! And I’d be naughty pin up girl, naturally.
I LOVE IT! Mr Frenchie and I are obsessed with Man Men. It would be hard me for to choose btw The Good Housewife or The Naughty Pin Up
I had to share this link from Stuff White People Like because it was the first thing I thought of when I saw your post.
I’d definitely go as the pinup girl (hello, boudoir is SO me)! I’m super jealous that you’re getting such a cool party theme! Can’t wait to see pictures!
Can I come check out your closet for Halloween next year? My slightly costume obsessed co-worker is doing her rehearsal dinner on Halloween and we all have to dress up!
How FUN!! I’d totally go for the pin-up girl as well…as should YOU, hottie
OMG so fun!!!! you HAVE to post pictures of this.
and i love the krispykreme outfit
You’re going to have so much fun! And great choice with Gentlemen Prefer Blondes! I can never get enough of that and Some Like it Hot
