Vegas Bachelorette Prep

I'm going to cheat here because I only wish these pictures were taken during the bachelorette party. But maybe it's even better that these are before & after the WEDDING. No joke. We pulled it off. Managed to get a picture of the bride & all the bridesmaids looking fab pre-wedding & then again on the morning after. Enjoy.

 

 

 

Here is the bride's cute little lacy tank - "sexy little wifey" (so maybe she can actually wear it more than once!) & I made the veil with a little tulle, some ribbon, & a hair clip.

One of the bridesmaid's moms lives in Vegas. HOW HANDY for us! So I shipped down a box of goodies for her to set up in our hotel room before we got there. Napkins, cups, balloons, crape paper, the "CHEERS BITCHES" sign, etc. 

 

 

 

I made Katie a "Las Vegas Bachelorette Survival Kit" & gave it to her when we met up in the airport.

 

Since I'm all about the details ... the kit included "Rally & Recovery Pills."

 

 

During her lingerie shower we played a quick game of "Drink If ..." It was a good way to get the party started!

After opening each gift she had to guess who had given it to her! She guessed mine first thing. Guess we do know each other pretty darn well!

I also saw this cute idea of making stir sticks by using a skewer & sparkly puff (these pictures are just proof I need to work on my photography!)

 

 

My favorite part is probably these cookies. They are each made out of a heart shaped cookie cutter. As per usual, I always have these ideas that never quite work out how I have planned. I intended them to get to Vegas & packed them safely in a shirt box wrapped with bubble wrap. Then as I was checking my bag at the airport I was accidentally 10 pounds over & had to start emptying my bag into the other girls' carry-ons. The first thing to go were these bad boys! Oh well.

 Happy bachelorette weekend to my dear friend Katie!

Vegas Style Bachelorette Party Invitatons

When one of your best friends is getting married ... it calls for a celebration beyond all celebrations (especially if it's been a long time in coming!).

 

It was decided from Day 1, or honestly maybe even sooner, that we would be taking the party to the fabulous Las Vegas.

Every party starts out with an idea & then ... the invitations!

For this party the theme was a given - VEGAS. But I really wanted to narrow it down to some colors. I picked the glitz & glamorous black, gold, & teal!

(the pink was really only used in the invitations as an accent because the bride is not a fan of pink).

 

 

I printed out the front of the invites & mounted them onto a gold/shimmery pre-made card.

 

 

 

Each inside had a bra & panties with the bride's size (for her lingerie shower) as well as an insert of the itinerary with details so girls would have an idea what we were doing & more importantly, what to pack!

 

 

 

I'm in. love. with these black envelopes & gold addresses. (Secret: they are actually leftover from my brother's high school graduation announcements. It's nice to know some hoarding pays off. Ha!)

 

 

Now I couldn't leave the bride out! I made her her very own invitation but with pictures of outfits she needed to pack. I think she hated the suspense. Oh well! ;)

 

Now I'd be lying if I said I didn't put these together with a glass of moscato. Cheers!
