My bachelorette party is this weekend and I can’t wait! My bridesmaid and FSIL have been planning the entire thing and I don’t have a clue what the plans are. My only hint:
I will be “wearing a white shirt (and it isn’t too embarrassing)” and there will be champagne!
More Goodies for the Bachelorette

My sister wanted to make something unique as a favor at the bachelorette party. She’s not terribly crafty, unless you are talking fashion, so it had to be something easily made but also inexpensive and fun. She came up with undies. She bought a variety of cute ones from Victoria’s Secret and had a custom stamp made online. She then bought some fabric friendly stamp pads and went to town. Here is my pair.
Bachelorette Party Run Down

I wasn’t quite sure how to share the details from my bachelorette weekend. There are a lot of pictures of my friends in bikinis, drinking strawberry lemonade vodkas and reading Us Weekly. Other than a boat ride around the lake, we didn’t really go anywhere or do anything- and I LOVED it! It doesn’t make for a very exciting recap. There is one slightly NSFW image, however, just to keep you on your toes.
The party started when my sister (MOH) and I arrived late on Thursday night. Half of the other guests arrived on Friday and the rest on Saturday. My sister and my mom have been working on this weekend for the past few months. They had lots of surprises in store! First off, my unconventional bride shirt. Here is something that I will be happy to wear again and again.
Big Bachelorette Weekend - The Grand Finale
July 31st, 2008 @ 10:30 am by Mrs. Hydrangea
As with many bachelorette parties, mine included an assortment of underthings from all of the girls. When we came back to the room from the cabana, I was surprised to see that our small room was opened to the suite next door, leaving a huge living area for us to continue the celebration.
I was completely surprised!
Bachelorette Perfection
July 30th, 2008 @ 10:57 am by Mrs. Cupcake
After my Nana passed away last Friday, I was, of course, very upset and felt like it would be wrong to go out for my bachelorette party that was scheduled for the next night. I didn’t know how much I wanted to be celebrating after such an emotional and heartbreaking event. However, the more I thought about it, the more I realized that a night out with my girlfriends was probably just what I needed after a stressful and sad time. I had already requested something low key that wouldn’t break the bank for anyone, which ended up being dinner and drinks with 10 of my fabulous girlfriends, so we went ahead with everything as planned that Saturday night.
We headed to El Vez, a Stephen Starr restaurant in Philadelphia. Stephen Starr is known for owning some of the coolest restaurants in Philly, and El Vez is no exception. It’s a contemporary Mexican restaurant with perhaps the greatest guacamole I have ever tasted. (The pitchers of margaritas and sangria weren’t so bad, either!) I was surprised at how reasonably priced everything was, and it was the perfect atmosphere for my fun-but-not-crazy night out.

How to Spice Up a Party! Girls Only - Part II
July 29th, 2008 @ 3:09 pm by Mrs. Daffodil
Every element of my bachelorette party was a blast, but the games were what really took the cake! I thought I would share some of the games that we played, for those of you who are currently or will one day find yourself planning a bachelorette party!
The Spinner. So simple yet ingenious! One of my bridesmaid put together a spinner for me to wear around my neck the whole evening. The idea was to have the guys I would encounter throughout the night take a spin, and then perform that action for me! And each time, my girls would of course be documenting it by taking all these pictures. Embarassing, perhaps even mortifying, but definitely a ton of FUN! 
And the guys were all such good sports…!
Big Bachelorette Weekend - The Initial Surprise
July 29th, 2008 @ 11:35 am by Mrs. Hydrangea
All I knew about this weekend, was that it was going to be my bachelorette - the rest of the details were a complete surprise. I have to say, the girls that helped put on the weekend, and the others who were gracious enough to attend, made it the best bachelorette I could have ever imagined.
I made sure to sleep in a little on Saturday morning because it was bound to be a long day ahead. Mom H picked me up at our house around 11:30, and off we headed to Dallas. I knew it was going to be a night event away, and had all of my things packed, when some of the bridesmaids started calling my mom and all I heard her say is “I’ll drop her off and then come meet you guys.” Drop me off? Alone?
Mom H pulled up to the Hotel Palomar, where one of my bridesmaids was waiting to pick me up and walk me to Exhale, their spa. She told me to check in, and once I was done, someone would come and pick me up.

Sweet Boundless Boobies!
July 26th, 2008 @ 11:04 am by Mrs. Gummi Bear
A close friend of mine is getting married today, so I wanted to throw her a mini-bachelorette-party. It was an all day affair, but I won’t go into the list of things we did that may not interest anyone, and if it does, you can always ask. That is, if I don’t disappear off the face of the earth again…
My obsession with turning everyone I know, with boobs and without, onto Agent Provocateur led me to give them a call about having all the girls go and try on things, and pitch in for our friend’s bridal set. I would have settled for a just letting them know they were going to be invaded, but what we got was so much better I had to share.
Girls Only! Part I - The Festivities
July 24th, 2008 @ 4:30 pm by Mrs. Daffodil
My bachelorette party was classic, fun, and perfect!! Our wedding party was spread out across the US, so both Mr. D and I didn’t have our bachelor/bachelorette parties until two days before our wedding! Yes, definitely a crazy hectic wedding week, but oh so worth it, to get to party with ALL your bestest friends together!
The day started with my sisters and one of my bridesmaids desperately trying to pry me away from my last minute wedding planning task list! “Drop it!” I heard a million times. “We are forcing you to relax!” After finally letting go (both figuratively and literally 
), I was whisked off to the opening ceremony: brunch at Border Grill in Santa Monica.

Bachelorette Party Extravaganza
July 19th, 2008 @ 12:29 pm by Mrs. Margarita
My bachelorette was last weekend in NYC and I had SO much fun! My MOH kept everything a secret from me so I didn’t really know what to expect. Each day she gave me an envelope of what was in store for me for that day.
Friday me, my MOH and one of my best friends from college drove from Boston to NYC. We were running a little late so we rushed to the Residence Inn in Times Square, got ready in 30 minutes and ran out the door to meet everyone else for dinner. I must have mentally checked out already because on the cab ride to the restaurant, we realized that I parked my car in front of the hotel but never gave the valet my keys. Luckily the car was still parked out front when we got back to the hotel (phew!) and we hopped in a cab once again to head to dinner.
Dinner was at Holy Basil in the East Village. I have to say this was the perfect spot for a large group dinner. The restaurant was roomy (especially for a Thai place), the food and wine were great and not too expensive. We had a group of about 15 girls and 6 bottles of wine so needless to say there was a lot of giggling, laughing and general loudness going on.
