So the stars aligned the weekend of the bachelorette party. The weather was wonderful, the food was good, and the BF was a saint, helping me prepare for the party. The girls came over for cocktails followed by dinner at a local restaurant and dancing at the grooviest of watering holes.
The House:
The BF and I finished our “chores” not a moment too soon. The walls were patched and the hallway, kitchen, and bathroom were painted. The morning of the party, I perfected my cosmo recipe–citron vodka, cranberry, lime juice & triple sec–and tasted the hors d’oeuvres. In the afternoon we hung pink and black streamers and strung white lights around the downstairs. The tables were decorated with candles, tiaras, pink satin, and bridal trivia games, a great conversation starter.
Last Minute Clean-Up
Guests were greeted with the music of Jack Johnson, Jimmy Buffet, and Abba, a perfect way to set the tone of the night. Everyone signed a photo frame for the bride-to-be, as a keepsake of the evening. And for the bacherlorette party guests, I put my degree in art to use; I painted pink and white polka-dot wine glasses; personalizing each glass with hearts, diamond rings, and the bride’s wedding date.

It wasn’t a weekend in Vegas, but a damn good time was had by all.
