Elese's Bachelorette Party!

This past weekend was Elese's last hurrah as a single lady. After a long engagement, we had some time to think about a creative way of throwing a bachelorette party. We decided since Elese was born in 1986, and loves the 80's, we would plan an 80's themed party. We asked all the guests to dress in their best 80's outfit and gave the winner a prize. It was so much fun and such a laugh to see us all with blue shadow, fanny packs, skipping ropes, leotards and plenty of neon!

We thought we would share a few of the sites and ideas that helped us throw a fun and creatively classy bachelorette party.

The blog linen, lace and love had so many creative and do it yourself ideas! For Elese's outfit we found a denim vest at Giant Tiger and fabric painted it like crazy. Charlotte sewed a tulle veil for her, complete with sparkly tiara.The bridal party wore neon tights with shirts that we fabric painted. We found 80's movies quotes and wrote them on the back. Dollaram and G.T. Boutique were perfect for finding hair scrunchies, tights, snap on bracelets and plenty of denim.

For her cake we wanted to do something funny and so was thrilled when we found the blog
Pretty/Hungry girl and her super easy man-popping- out of the cake idea!
We found a Ken doll that kind of looked like Shaun at Walmart and expertly stuck him in our favourite gluten and dairy free cake that we ordered from the Cake Shop.

The layout of the night was a few games, gifts, cake/champagne, pictures and then off to downtown for a scavenger hunt.

We had a photo booth station in our purple dining room with props that we made and found at Dollarama. Charlotte wrote out a few silly signs to hold and they were a perfect touch.

When all the girls arrived, we played a simple and thinking free game called: Who Has the Groom?

How to make:

We found a photo of a Moore's model and cut out twelve copies. We inserted our men pictures into white envelopes. To make the groom, we copied a picture of Shaun and stuck his head on the Moore's model. Sealed the envelopes and taped them to the seats of the guests.

How to play:
Whichever lady finds the groom wins a prize! The picture of Shaun actually worked out fabulous for later on the night, as my mom had the idea of pinning him to Elese's vest. With the help of a few glittery clips, Shaun was with us the entire night!






























Our other game of the night was How Well Does Elese Know Shaun?
Last week we asked Shaun a list of very specific questions and then at the party we asked them again to Elese. If she got a question wrong she had chew a piece of Hubba Bubba gum! By the end of the game she had a pack and half of bubble gum in her mouth!

After the gifts and lovely champagne toast by our mama, we girls headed downtown for a scavenger hunt. We had a list of silly and fun tasks for Elese to accomplish (with our help) by the end of the night. A few of things our lovely bride to be succeeded in doing:
Elese practiced her first dance with strangers, met another bride&bachelorette party, had a piggy back ride around Milestones, practiced walking down the aisle, was serenaded to by a six year old and a Korean guy, danced to Carly Rae Jepson (LIVE!), Announced: "I'm getting married!" on Parliment Hill, and  met many men who wished they were Shaun. : )






All in all we are still laughing and talking about all the fun we had that night, Elese's last night out as a single lady! Let the wedding week begin!
