My Night to Remember

January 12th, 2011 @ 4:15 pm by Mrs. Knitting

Back in early December, my bridal party, led by my MOH, threw me a wonderful bachelorette party.

We started the night at BM Rachel’s apartment with um, some booze:

My ‘maids and me:

The flower girls/slaves were hard at work in the kitchen preparing yummy munchies:

The food at my bachelorette was amazing. They thoughtfully made it all vegan (although my little sis/head chef is vegan herself, so I don’t think this was a huge hardship for her!). Some of the yummys we had included bean cakes with salsa, amazing burritos, and 2 types of hummus including my all time favourite Two Bean Lime Chipotle Hummus (seriously, you need to try this).

It was then time for the drink making contest. This was a really fun activity and I highly recommend it for any bachelorette you might be planning in the future. My MOH had bought all kinds of fun booze and mixers and we got into teams of 2 or 3 to come up with the best tasting drink. I instantly got hyper competitive and claimed one of my more gastronomically talented friends, Emily, as my partner. I then proceeded to make her do all the drink making for our team, while I danced. Seriously.

Dancing in action:

We then all had to try each others’ drinks in our super cute mini plastic wine glasses and rank them.

Despite the fact that I managed to bully (What? I said I was competitive!) half the party into voting for our (admittedly) not so tasty drink, Emily and I did not win.

I was a good sport about it:

Luckily to make up for my lack of winning a prize it was time to give me my gag gifts which were hilarious enough to make me forget about my defeat. I won’t go into all of them, but here’s my favourite. My MOH and I had been joking for weeks beforehand about some advice she had found on the internet of things to do at a bachelorette. One of then included giving the bride a shirt saying “Bride With No Pride” and a mini skirt to unleash the bride’s wild side, or something like that. Being sort of reserved and conservative, I thought that was the funniest thing ever and was thrilled when I pulled this out of the bag:

Don’t worry, even though it’s now my most favourite shirt, I didn’t actually wear it in public. I did prance around the apartment with it for a while though!

Then it was time for my cake, which I think is one of the most thoughtful things anyone did for me for the wedding.

It’s a charm bracelet cake and each little “charm” has a symbol on it representing each of the guests at my bachelorette. If you’ve read this post, then you know why it meant so much to me.

And with that it was time to leave and go salsa dancing:

All in all, it was a really fun night and I’m so glad I have such wonderful people in my life to plan me such a wonderful event.

How did your bachelorette go?

I love the drink making contest idea! I might steal this for some bachelorette parties I am planning. My friends are super competitive, so it would probably end up being hilariously perfect.

You’re lucky they didn’t make you wear the shirt. My sis and now husband made me a list of things to do which I had to wear. Granted, it was easier as the night wore on. I love the drink making game and cake.
