Every time I hear the word “ladies” nowadays, I can’t help but think of Demetri Martin:

An easy way to sound like a creep is to add the word ‘ladies’ to the end of things you say. It can be harmless too, but it just makes you a creep. ‘Yeah after college I spent two years in the peace corps… ladies?’ The more harmless it is, the more of a creep you become. ‘I broke my arm. I need help… ladies?’

Back to the topic at hand! There are some settings in which I cannot imagine having a bad time with my ladies. This is definitely one of them:

Numbered vases, personalized china, monogrammed napkins…

Roses, bows, and candy are sweet surprises against the sleek, contemporary linens and glasses.

I saw this bridal shower at Hostess with the Mostess, who saw it at Brides.com. The ever-creative Hostess blog suggested a “French Candy” theme for this party. French-inspired nibbles and drinks would be perfect in the Parisian cafe atmosphere. I’d love to create this setting for an all-ladies event, like a bachelorette party (the innocent kind) or a bridal shower! It’s way beyond my hostessing skills, but maybe with some help from my bridesmaids, we could pull off something close.

What are your favorite themes for all-girls events?
