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?

Loooooooooooving all of the stripes! This is too die for!
…secretly hoping someone asks me to plan their shower soon….
The decor is so gorgeous! The black and white stripes paired with hot pink and light pink just works somehow!
i love this!!!! so much pink fun! Since pink is my favorite colors and going to be no where in my wedding plans, I really hope that at least I get a pink shower or bachelorette party!
i love all those little details! oooh, my inner girl is squealing.
time to go look at some sports. ha!
I love it! We just did a Breakfast at Tiffany’s theme for my sisters shower. It was so girly and fun.
I love, love, love this!!! 
Hoping I get something similar for my shower/bach party.
Ahaha, I think of the same skit when I hear “ladies…”! Everytime I hear someone say it I crack up.
Ooh, love this. I secretly wish I could plan my own bachelorette party.
I LOVE EVERYTHING! And I very badly want to go to this shower!
Heehee, we should just use this theme for our Bee meet-ups, so we can all enjoy the pink girliness!
Soooo cute! I just did a shower for one of my bridesmaids who is all about ballons. I started collecting balloon images and ended up with something resembling a 5 year old’s birthday. Some re-worked colors and less balloons, and I really liked it.
Hostess with the Mostess has way too many amazing ideas though - geeze!
So fun! I love the ridiculous amounts of pink going on here.
I LOVE this. Very chic. I would have done this for my wedding but my husband is not a fan of pink. These would be cute ideas for an upscale baby shower if you knew they were having a girl!
So cute! I will definitely save the inspiration for my shower planners!
This theme is so fun and girly but the black makes it very classy. I did a Marie Antoinette theme that was great fun. I’m not usually a girly girl but you sometimes need to venture to the pink and frilly side now and again. A bachelorette or shower is the perfect excuse 
I love all the black and pink decor! The colors work so well together and look totally hip.
Oh Dimitri! Ugh.
This is so fun and pretty! I’m not a big pink girl … it just doesn’t do it for me - but this is a blast!
Adorable! I love the theme, but I also like Marie Antoinette over the top ridiculous amounts of EVERYTHING! It’s similar, but not quite the same.
What a classy yet romantic theme. I will have to show this to my friends and see what they have to say. Thanks.

About Me: I have a soft spot for all things sweet and romantic. Desserts, love songs, sappy movies? Yes, yes, and ohh yes. My fiance and I enjoy singing to our dogs, creating crazy ice cream sundaes, and generally being lovey dovey cuddle bunnies. We also do socially acceptable things like dancing, throwing Frisbees, playing high stakes board games, and taking unreasonably fun road-trips. We're planning a Korean/Serbian wedding with plenty of playful, personal touches!
