Baci Designer: Ashley's Bachelorette Party | 08.2010 {Put in Bay, Ohio}

Earlier this summer my sister, Jami, asked me if I could design Bachelorette Party invitations for a soiree she was planning as a bridesmaid in her friend Ashley's wedding. Of course I said yes, but being the creative set that we are we took it one step further by dreaming up matching attire for the bride and bridal party to rock out on their big night!! This was such a fun project to work on, especially since it meant I got work with my sister every day :o)

The party's theme was "Buy a Shot, She's Tying the Knot" so I started by designing an invitation, complete with adorable shot glass artwork, detailing the weekend's events on the front and then completed it with a fun checklist of things to bring along for the trip on the back. Each card was printed by baci on either a pink or yellow card which was stuffed inside an envelope of the opposite color. Each envelope had the same shot glass artwork printed on the front and was finished off with a fun Celebrate Stamp from the USPS. I continued the artwork onto Ashley's Bride Shirt which was printed locally by Young's Screenprinting & Embroidery on a bright pink tank top .

In typical Bachelorette Party fashion, the bride was to complete a list of fun - mildy wild - things on the night of her big party. . . so I incorporated the checklist right onto her shirt, mimicking the one on the back of the original invitation. The night of the party, participating party goers checked the items off right on Ashley's back :o)

We couldn't forget the bridal party, so once again I continued the shot glass artwork onto black tank tops, also printed by Young's, and put each girl's name on the back of her shirt.

I had to post at least one shot of the lovely ladies having a good time at Put-in-Bay in their baci designed gear. . . you've got to love the guy in the background who just had to jump in with the Bachelorette Party - lol!!
