it's good to be a girl bachelorette day

Do you want to know one good reason to wait until you are in your 30's to get married? Your friends won't force you to do embarrassing bachelorette party rituals.

Make the bachelorette more than just a night out. Make it a whole weekend full of reasons it's good to be a girl!

Need some hints: spa treatments, chocolate, champagne, hotel slumber party, a private cardio strip fit class (just because you're in your 30's doesn't mean you can't shake it) and did I mention chocolate?

Don't forget the fishnets and feathers!

Carnation Cocktails. So chic!

Give your flowers the star treatment with vases wrapped in scrapbook paper, fishnet stockings, feathers and costume jewelry.

Pamper your guests with favor boxes full of goodies every girl can use!


Don't limit yourself to gift wrap. The scrapbook paper aisle is a goldmine!

love makes the world go around

Want to take the bride-to-be on a fabulous journey but don't have the time or budget? No problem and no passport required!

Highlights of this bachelorette weekend/bridal shower combo:

crepes for breakfast
swedish massages
theme food stations from around the world
luggage tags in chinese take out favor boxes
tapas on the town for dinner
italian wines after dinner

love is in bloom!

Do the words "crepe paper honeycomb wedding bell" make you cringe? I thought so. Then why not give your bride a little flower power?

Oh Baby!

Who says baby showers have to be pastels and lace?

Answer: No modern girls I know.

Treat your mom-to-be with a baby shower as hip as she is!

The inspiration for this mod mom shower - polka dots! I dare you to look at this polka dot paper and not say the word "cute"...go on....just try.


But lanterns are meant to be hung. Oh really? Think again.





Fortune cookie pacifier favor boxes all in a row. You didn't think I'd go completely non-baby, did you? Little touches like these are great reminders of the real guest of honor. Shhhhhhhh, don't tell mom.

Personalized baby games to suit the crowd!

Personal guilty pleasure secret: the celebrity baby game was created without having to look up any of the names. Now it's your turn to share.

Where's the party at? Here. Soon.

Coming soon to a blog near you...stem.

Parties so fabulous your guests will wish they were the hostess!
