Good Times Ahead

Talking about the bridal shower last week got me thinking about another very important wedding related event. The bachelorette party! Ranging anywhere from mild to wild, it gives all the ladies (especially the bride) a chance to let their hair down. If you find yourself in charge of planning a bachelorette party, here are a few ideas to get you started.

Set up a margarita station around this margarita accent lamp. Like moths to a flame, guests will gather around the glow to gossip and drink. Serve up southwestern-style margaritas that'll knock them off their feet (in a good way). The Great Margarita Book has 85 tantalizing recipes to choose from. You can't go wrong!

Once everyone's had a chance to wet their whistles, break out the Naughty Charades. You and your friends will be doubled over in laughter at the sight of each other acting out racy slang terms like Booty Call, Bump and Grind, or Bun in the Oven.

And what's a bachelorette party without naughty gifts to make the bride-to-be blush? See how she reacts to laugh-out-loud items like flavored body pens, the candy bra and g-string (no longer an innocent treat from our childhood!) or the barely there naughty knot lingerie. Tell you what, the bride's cheeks will definitely flush when she's hanging upside down from her new stripper pole that comes with a DVD to show you how to pole dance like a pro. Guaranteed to be THE gift of the evening!

Just remember…what happens at the party, stays at the party.
