Bachelorette Party Weekend!!!

This weekend was one of my friends Keshia's Bachelorette party.

When she asked my bestie Nicole to plan her party I immediately wanted to help. 

Event planning is what I would love to do for a living!

Being a host can be fun if you plan every detail, and of course my Type-A butt helped Nicole do just that.

Everyone knows that I'm always down for a good party, 

but a lot of time and effort definitely went into making sure this party was memorable.

We planned to start at H&M (where else are you going to have a great party) 

for all the pregame festivities.

We welcomed everyone with drinks and light and hors d'oeuvres.

I think our spread looks great! Shout out to my bestie Nicole for the set up!

As people arrived we made sure to start the party as soon as they walked through the door. 

Jello shots upon entry!

We plan on implementing this "toll" anytime we have a "turn up" at our house.

You are never too old for a Jello Shot!

I was most excited about everyone using the Photo Booth.

I was going to buy some bachelorette themed pieces, but I found of them to be degrading and a little "extra" so I didn't get them. I don't know anyone who was going to be using the "dirty sl*t" sign willingly.

So then I decided to create my own.

I tried to make them as fun as possible.

Overall the Photo booth was a big hit! 

I threw up some hot pink paper on the wall and let everyone go crazy!

Ladies were using everything from the feather boa to the smiley face "friend".

I'm taking all the pictures we took to make a scrapbook for Keshia as part of her wedding present. 

I think she will really love it.

We played a couple of games which went over really well. 

If I ever get a chance to plan another bachelorette party I will definitely use them again.

All I will say is that they included shirtless men and lots of candy. LOL

There was dinner and a trip to the club after all of this, 

but the highlight of the night was definitely our house.

All in all is was a good night.

How was your weekend?

XOXO

Oh Yes Its Ladies Night: Bachelorette Party

I was able to cross of my 101 in 1001...

#12 Take an athletic pole dancing class!!

I was lucky enough to try it out for the first time at my good friend Tiffany's Bachelorette Party!

Her bridesmaids had set up a day for us all to try out the class, head to dinner, and then club the night away.

This place awesomely called Vertical Tease was Uptown and hidden away. 

I didn't even know it was there until the GPS found it. If anyone has already taken one of these classes before they know what the general set up looks like.

Oh yes....multiple poles. There were so many of us that we had to go in groups so there are no actual pictures of me on the pole (thank goodness), but it was a ton of fun and it was a great first experience.

Pole dancing requires a lot of strength and balance. 

I wore my heels to get the full experience and I would say that it helped me get in the feeling.

I learned a lot, but unfortunately I ended up with a battle wound. 

Its been over a week and my bruise on my ankle still hurts!!

Next we headed to Deltas, a ritzy soul food restaurant in Uptown Charlotte. 

I didnt even think you could put ritzy and soul-food in the same sentence.

But it was so good!

We had a nice surprise at the restaurant. We met Eric Benet! He happened to be eating there at the same time as him. He had a show that night Uptown. He saw that we were a bachelorette party and didnt mind us taking pictures with him.

For those of you who dont know who he is; He's a singer and he was first married to Halle Berry. Then he cheated on her and claimed he was a sex addict. Yeah he's an idiot. LOL.

Our evening was an awesome one! 

Pole dancing, Little black dresses, cupcakes, jello shots, and Eric Benet.

Oh what a night!

My dress was from Target. I'm in love with it!

XOXO
