After the Shower...
The shower turned out amazing! It was by far the best bridal shower I have ever been to and its not that I am partial but I heard it over and over from other guests and am still getting awesome feed back on it! Everything was smooth sailing from the food, to drinks, decorations and all the amazing friends and family that came! My favorite part had to be the advice board though, it was awesome reading all that advice from women who have years and years of experience! And its something I will keep forever!!!! There really was no down side to the shower at all... no complaints at all!!! Well minus Target screwing up our registry and getting doubles of lots but they let us return them and now we have a whole new kitchen and bath!
Bachelorette Party
April 2nd!!! Well I am a small town girl and not a big fan of night clubs or city bars so I didn’t want a typical bachelorette party.
Update- After meeting with my Maid of Honor this is what her plan is... It will be a lingerie theme, so she is having me go to Victoria Secret to get measured and register! We will start out at 2 PM at the nail salon getting pedicures, nails, waxing, whatever services the girls want. It will be rented out specifically for my party, there will be appetizers and champagne! Then coming back to my house around 5 for food and a passion party with lots and lots of drinks!!! The passion party host has lots of fun games to play and after the passion party there will be lots more games and lots more drinks! We will probably have around 20-30 of my girlfriends and I dont want to go bar hoping so I think it will be really fun and my PERFECT bachelorette party!!! We just decided we are gonna use two guys we know to do the bartending for my party! Yay more drinks and we dont have to mix them!!!

After the Bachelorette Party
Well the bachelorette party was interesting to say the least. I remember about the first hour or so and after that nothing. The drinks were strong and a few of my friends I am told kept making me take shot after shot. However everyone had fun, I would highly recommend any bride to be to take it slow so you can actually enjoy and remember yours! The bartenders were a huge sucess, the girls love having them there. There was enough alcohol to have 5 more parties. And the Passion Party was a big hit!!!! All the girls had a blast, I just wish I could remember more of it. =(
Bartenders Attire
What is classier than a tuxedo t-shirt, so our two guy bartenders at the bachelorette party will be rocking these!!!!
Cookies
One of my friends made these cookies and I think they are so cute and would be perfect for a bachelorette party. She just cut out heart shaped cookies and cut off the point. I dont know if we will use them for my party but thought they were such a great idea to share for others!
Some Drink Mixes
One of my friends got these for free from her work since she works for a distributor to Restaurants! Should make some great drinks!
Bachelorette Party Drinks
We found a website that has a ton of different bachelorette party drinks, what you need to make all the drinks and has different levels for how much alcohol you want to buy. I recommend every bride or anyone planning a bachelorette party look at it! My MOH is making up cute cards with these recipes and we will have our bar setup with a couple martini shakers and all the mixers and utensils so the girls can mix their own drinks. bachelorettepartydrinks.com
Pucker Fuckers (makes 4 shots)
4 oz. Pucker
4 oz. Vodka
2 teaspoons powdered sugar (powdered sugar dissolves faster).
Put in a shaker with ice. Shake it like a polaroid picture. Strain and serve.
Jello Shots:
When making a 3 oz pack of Jell‐O. Boil the first cup of water and dissolve the jell‐o in it. Then substitute 1 cup of cold vodka for the second cup (the cold cup) of water. Pour this spiked Jello mixture into dixie cups, small plastic cups, or if you are really cool Penis Shaped Jell‐O Shot Molds.
Try to get about 12 shots per pack of Jello and each one with have about 1/2 shot of vodka in it. That should keep the troops entertained.
