Off to Charlotte!

I'm off to Charlotte to celebrate my friend, Kristen's, bachelorette party!

Good times will be had by all!

Have a great weekend!

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.....



Recovering...

Let's Doig This.

This past weekend I packed my bags and made the short trip to Savannah, GA for Jen's bachelorette party!

Friday night we stayed in to all catch up, hang out and throw Jen a lingerie shower.

Joe decided to crash the party.

Saturday during the day we ventured into town, grabbed lunch at Soho, grabbed some drinks at the Bohemian roof top bar and did a little shopping..

Saturday night we had an amazing dinner and lots of champagne / wine at Circa 1875. Sadly, no pics of the food but a pretty awesome pic of Emily and I with our temporary mustache tatoos.

After dinner we headed to..a drag show. This was my first experience at a drag show and I was a little hesitant. Wasn't quite sure what to expect. Turns out, it was pretty fun! It was Lady Chablis' 55th birthday, which was apparently a big deal.

Some of the other entertainers..

After the drag show, we hit up the gay bar downstairs and then made our way to Savannah Smiles - a must do for a bach party in Savannah apparently. There were about 3450823 bachelorettes there!

What a fun weekend!

Wiggin' Out!

This weekend I will be in Dirty Myrtle (Myrtle Beach, SC for you non-SC'ers) for Jenny's Bachelorette Party! The theme: Wiggin' Out! Yes, my friends, I will be out in MB rocking a wig. The only other time I've worn a wig was for Halloween. It's just not my thing.

Cameron's soon to be sister-in-law LOVES to dress up for Halloween so instead of buying a wig that I would probably never wear again, I asked to borrow one of hers! Rather than just letting me borrow one, she showed up with a bag of about 7 of them! All colors and cuts imaginable.

Please excuse the crappy Blackberry pics and the no-makeup disheveled look - I had been sippin' adult beverages by the pool all day. :)

I promise to wear make-up and put the wig on straight this weekend. I'm kind of feelin' the long black one. What about you?
