Wedding Wednesday (Continued): Bachelorette Party - Day Two.

Not gonna lie, most of Day Two was spent in recovery mode. I was hurtin' from Friday night.

PS - Most of you commented on the panty wreath from yesterday that Emily made.  I can't find an actual tutorial on it, but it looked like she just bought one of those straw wreaths with the plastic still on it and tied each panty on it with a piece of ribbon.

We made our way to the beach finally after Shelby & Frankie cooked a yummy breakfast for everyone. The beach was HOT. Once I got into the water I started to feel better. The water there is so much clearer and doesn't make you feel all sticky when you get out! Some of us eventually decided to go up to the room and cool off / take naps to get ready for Saturday night. That's where this pic came from that my sister took. I felt 80% better after that nap!

The theme of Saturday night? NEON!!!!

Everyone looked so good! I, on the other hand, looked like I should be standing on a street corner. Meh, oh well. It's only your bachelorette party once right??

We ate dinner at Tower 7, which is a Baja Mexican restaurant. While we waited 1.5 hours for our table, we took lots of pics.

My sister (left) made my sash! Isn't is cute?!?

Supper Club ladies.

Cameron wanted some chips, salsa & a Corona.

After dinner, we hopped in some vans and took a 20 minute ride to downtown Wilmington to do some more bar hopping.

The owner of the first bar we went to sent over a bottle of champage! Thanks bud!

We make neon look GOOD.

Leslie was the only mom on the trip. She definitely let loose while her hubby was watching Emilee. :)

The next (and last) place we went to was Level 5. It's called Level 5 because it's literally on the fifth floor of the building. And you don't take an elevator to get up there. My legs were burning halfway through the trek. This was my favorite bar we went to when we went on Katie's bach, so I knew I wanted this place to be our main stop.

Apparently this hat has something to do with 30 Shades of Grey. But since I still haven't read it, I had no clue.

 

"Jenny" tried to come along on the trip since the real Jenny couldn't, but that boinker got my zip code wrong and she didn't get delivered on time! :(

Thanks again to all of my girls who made my weekend so special and FUN!

Wedding Wednesday: Bachelorette Party Recap! Day One.

It's Wednesday and I think I'm FINALLY fully recovered from my bachelorette party on Wrightsville Beach last weekend.

My sweet future sister-in-law sent along this goody basket of my favorite snacks and magazines since she couldn't make the trip. The basket included salt & vinegar chips, trail mix, slim jim's, candy, Bud Light Lime-a-Ritas, cookies, moon pies and PICKLES!

 

Panty wreath! I seriously do not have to go shopping for underwear for a long, long while.

As a thank you for everyone that came, I ordered monogrammed cups from Stuart Wallace Designs.

 

Since people were arriving at all different times, we decided to go to the condo pool rather than the beach.

Cameron got some sun, too.

After the pool, we all went upstairs to take showers and get ready for the lingerie shower and some games!

 We played "Who Knows the Bachelorette the Best?"

And "Who Gave Me These Panties?"

Some people got the memo.....others...didn't. haha :)

Then the plan was just to have a low key night at the beach bars....but that's just like saying, "we'll only stay for one drink!" Yeah, it never happens.

Here comes the squinty eyes!

Stayed tuned for Day Two.....



Katie's Bachelorette Party in Wrightsville Beach!

Just a quick recap of Katie's fun bachelorette party this past weekend in Wrightsville Beach, NC!

Emily and I left Friday around 1:30pm and arrived in Wrightsville Beach around 5:30pm. It really wasn't a bad drive at all and it was great to REALLY get to talk to my best friend, other than the daily "how was your day?" routine. :) 

We had dinner reservations at Tower 7, a Baja Mexican grill that was close enough for us to walk to. I ordered the same thing that I usually get from Taco Boy (Baja fish taco) and if there were a competition between Tower 7 & Taco Boy, the winner would have been Taco Boy. It wasn't bad...Taco Boy's is just better. :)

That, my friends, is a Sangrita.

Saw this Great Dane walk by and we HAD to take a pic with him. His name is Beast. :)

After that we headed back to the hotel room for a little lingerie shower.

 

We freshened up and walked to the beach bars, where we attracted a bunch of looks. No, not because we're all ridiculously good looking (kidding), but because everyone is in flip flops and t-shirts and we're in ruffly pink dresses and 4 inch wedge heels. Oh well. 

Saturday we took advantage of the complimentary breakfast and headed to the beach. For some reason, I thought it would be a good idea to just put sunscreen on my whole body, except my stomach and upper things. Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad idea. My stomach turned out looking like the color of my pink dress the first night. I wish I was exaggerating. On top of that, I had legit hand prints on my shoulders from where I attempted to rub in my sunscreen.

For dinner on Saturday night, we ate at BlueWater Grill. The location reminded me a lot of Shem Creek. Courtney Jo's birthday was Wednesday so (thanks to Savannah) we surprised her with a little treat and a song!

After dinner we took a cab to downtown Wilmington. Christine (sorority sister and Emily's former roommate) and her husband live in Wilmington so they met us out for a little while! We did the usual bar hopping and ended the evening with late night pizza. Perfect weekend!

Me, Christine, Emily

Cannot wait for Katie & Henry's wedding next weekend!
