We had so much fun celebrating Emma's bachelorette party! Our pal, Sarah, was kind enough to snap a few photos of the evening with my camera. (Thank you, Sarah!!)
We made pink champagne invites for all of the guests. So much fun!
The evening started out with a flight of six cocktails, each with a special toast from a bridesmaid or friend and a story about Emma. The cocktails were all named after memories we have with Emma. Every twenty or thirty minutes one of us would give a toast, and, as you might guess, the toasts got progressively more emotional and more hilarious as the evening went on. It happens.
We did the special piñata after the first toast. It was super fun and none of the plastic liquor bottles broke… win! Later in the evening, the piñata even made a special appearance dancing with us on the porch. Ha!
Next there were mason jar cocktails (Whiskey Ginger and Lavender Gin Fizz!), shrimp tacos and more special toasts!
This watermelon and basil cocktail was one of our favorites. I'll share the recipe soon!
The golden girl cocktail was pretty amazing because for the rest of the night everyone had edible glitter all over their faces… pretty funny!
There were giggles and there was an hour (maybe more) of crazy dancing on the back porch. We had the best night, remembered most of what happened the next day, and got to show Emma how much we adore her… which is really what mattered most!
It was fun sharing peeks of our party with you. It was a great to celebrate with the bride-to-be! xo. Elsie

Wow, I hope my bachelorette party will be as cool as Emma’s party! Everything looks amazing!
Oh and that watermelon and basil cocktail looks really cute. I’m curious about the taste and the recipe!
Can you please please do a tutorial on the flowers for the lights? Or was it a kit? I am in L-O-V-E! Congrats again to Emma!
You did an amazing job Elsie & the rest of you gals! Wonderful photos and you all looked adorable 🙂 By the way that ginger & lavender whiskeys sounds amazing!!

Such a classy and cute event! I giggled while reading this whole post. Toasts are always better with a little bit of mixys;) My roommates enjoyed our night of “validating the shit out of each other” which turned out pretty similar.

Love the set up! Looks like a fun night 🙂 You girls are always so stylish!
Minus all the alcohol, seems a little rated G. I know it may not be in your taste, but really, no Magic Mike appearances? 😉
congrats emma!

Oh wow! That looks like the perfect party. I love the floral lights. They are just gorgeous.
Looks amazing! I can’t wait to see all the recipes 🙂
What an amazing idea! I love the 6 cocktails..each with a toast/story to go along. I’d love to do this for a friend one day. Ps- I’ve secretly been hoping Emma would go back to platinum. It looks gorgeous!!!
looks like a lot of fun 🙂
i hope you had a nice party 🙂
Love jelaegbe.blogspot.de
Not sure if I missed it.. but I really want to know about the edible glitter! It’s so much more glittery than some that I’ve seen. Anyway, what a gorgeous bachelorette party. I’d probably pass out with that much booze, but all the different cocktails sound so good and it’s such a cute idea.
Everything looks and sounds so lovely! Seems like you had an incredible evening! xxx
