The Bachelorette Party

I know it has been a little while since I wrote…trust me I have been very busy! My bachelorette party was July 11th and today is the 21st so I am a little behind and less then 2 weeks away from my wedding!

My bachelorette party was so much fun! We ended up having a pretty good turn out - 12 people for happy hour and 14 people for dinner. We started the night at The Nines they have a roof top bar called Departure and we went for happy hour from 4-6pm on our private couch.

After we enjoyed happy hour we went to the room to open some presents and all get better acquainted. After opening up a variety of fun gifts - that would take me through the night- we headed to Henry’s Tavern for dinner.

The food was awesome and everyone had a great dinner. After dinner we lost some people that had to take off for various reasons. As we were walking out of Henry’s we met a table of guys that were more then happy to buy us a few round of shots for the special occasion!

The reaming “party girls” - props to Trish, Kim, Misty, Nicole, Laura and Alison - all headed to a martini bar in the Pearl called Vault. This is where I had to start knocking out all of my challenges as the bachelorette. My sister gave me a challenge book that had 10 things I had to accomplish by the end of the night.

The list is below: (Read at your own risk)

1. Kiss a bald guy on the forehead

2. Have 3 guys write down there “size” if you know what I mean

3. Find a divorced guy and ask him 3 tips on - what not to do!

4. Find a condom and blow it up

5. Stand up on a chair in a crowded bar and scream - this is your last night being single - because you are getting married.

6. Make out with a beer bottle and pretend it is something - that it is not…

7. Go to the men’s bathroom for 2 minutes…

8. Identify the hottest man in the room (by way of all girls in party) and seduce him until he buys you a drink.

9. Find a guy with white socks and give him a kiss.

10. With the help of your ladies make a list of bad habits - your fiancé needs to avoid.
Needless to say I did accomplish them all! After we had a few drinks at the Vault – we all jumped in a stretch Hummer and headed to our final destination Candy.  Candy is a dance club that was pretty hopping that night.

All of the ladies arrived back to the hotel room by 3am – It was one crazy night…The rest of the details are top secret!

The Best Bridal Shower Ever!!!

So we are about 7 weeks away from the big day! I just had my bridal shower yesterday and it was so much fun! The first big event of many to come! My bridal shower was at my mom’s house on her deck. There were 30 of my favorite ladies who were able to make it! I always love being the center of attention!

The theme for my shower had a lot to do with my wedding. There were various bouquets of flowers that were made in my wedding colors - red and lime green. I love wine and cheese combinations and there were plenty of both. I also love salad rolls and sushi and both were at my shower! Along with plenty of fruits, nuts and veggies there was then enough food for all!

We played 3 games in which all were fun in there own way! The first game was called “Celebrity Couples” the host had 15 pictures of different couples and everyone at the shower had to guess and write down the first and last name of each couple. The second game was everyone at the shower had to write down experiences they have had with me and I had to guess who wrote which card. It was such a blast from the past! The third game was by far my favorite - the host videotaped my fiancé answering a bunch of different questions about him. All of the guests had to guess if I would know the answer to the questions he was asked or if I would not. The host would ask me the question first then play his response. Wow - was that creative! It was fun to watch my fiancé on the big screen! He could not be more adorable!
