The Bride’s Entourage

by Meghann on January 28, 2012

You can’t have a bachelorette party weekend without coordinating shirts, can you?

Nope. :)

I was in charge of the shirts for the weekend festivities; which sounded like a fun job, but ended up being a tad more challenging than originally assumed. The two biggest issues were 1) what should they say and 2) where to print them for a reasonable price.

After googling ‘funny bachelorette shirt ideas’ more times than I’d like to admit, the girls and I decided to keep it simple with Bride’s Entourage on the front and our names and numbers on the back. When combined the numbers spelled out Ashley’s wedding date.

Cute, right?

The shirts almost didn’t happen when I priced out a few custom shirt websites at $30 a shirt – just a tad over what everyone wanted to spend. Instead I found a local t-shirt shop that could print the shirts at $12 a pop. Much better. :)

The shirts were a hit!

Even the bride approved! :)

Let’s hope they’re a hit at the bar tonight. Free shots? Yes, please! ;)

It’s been a relaxing, gorgeous stay around here.

Six Girls and a Veil

by Meghann on January 28, 2012

6 girls + 1 veil + an explosion of pink and penises = The Bachelorette Party Weekend has arrived

Let’s just say there were plenty of pictures-of-that-will-not-be-going-on-the-internet promises and we’ll leave it at that. ;)

Don’t worry Sherry, we kept your daughter plenty hydrated and well fed.

See? Pretzels!

Fed? Check!

And juice! Lots of juice!

Now whether or not there’s more than just juice to her drinks, I can’t say. ;)

Before heading to the bachelorette festivities, Kelly and I had random leftovers for lunch.

Strawberries + rice cake with lentils and cheese = RANDOM.

And some leftover greek pastries Derek brought home the night before from Hella’s in Tarpon Springs.

One large chocolate kok for Kelly (saying that never gets old, even if I am using the incorrect pronunciation ;) ) and an italian cannoli for me.

Tastes. So. Good.

Ashley’s bachelorette festivities kicked off with presents and games.

And juice. Can’t forget the juice!

And keeping our promises to the mother-of-the-bride, a real meal was consumed.

Nothing fancy, just quick eats from the hotel beach shack.

I had the chicken salad flat wrap with a side salad.

Then the real fun began…
