Jami's Bachelorette Party | 08.2011 {Akron, Ohio}

{The Saturday Crew}

Last weekend we celebrated the first of Jami's Pre-wedding Events - Her Bachelorette Party!!!  All the ladies in her bridal party, both moms and a few great friends made the trek to my house and celebrated the weekend with a Slumber Party (complete with a Pajama Contest - Jami won!), Pool Time and a night out on Portage Lakes full of dinner, drinking and dancing!!  We had such a wonderful time, maybe even too much of a good time Saturday night - lol!

Maid of Honor, Sarah, and I (Matron of Honor) went full force "Team Bride" with the attire for the weekend.  I designed "Team Bride" shirts with Jami and Eric's wedding date on the front and custom titles on the back that ranged from "Bridesmaid" and "M.O.B" to "Sexy Lexy" and "Foxy Friend".  Jami's donned "Future Mrs. Jesse" on the back - it was adorable :o)  Sarah also found an awesome Bachelorette Package on eBay that came with the "Team Bride" buttons and sash, as well as the cute necklaces we all wore.

A few PG Highlights from the weekend:
1)  Bachelorette Mad Libs - A seriously good time after you all loosen up with your words choices - lol!

2)  "Pictionary Telephone" - A game where you write a detailed sentence and then pass it to the person on your right who then has to draw what you wrote, they then pass it to the next person who has to write a detailed sentence about what the person on their left drew. . . and so on and so forth (if you want more detailed directions, feel free to email me).  This game nearly had us peeing our pants - it is so funny to see how things get interpreted after nine rounds!!!

3)  Food - I know it's general but we had some of the best food ever last weekend:  Special Recipe Cookies from our Mama's Bakery, Boston Creme Pie Cupcakes made by Rachelle, Walking Tacos, Never-ending White Queso Dip, Hummus with Pretzel Crisps and Stacy's Pita Chips, Laughing Cow loveliness and Buffalo Chicken Dip just to name a few!

4)  Beverages - Sarah, Jaaci and I made jello shots and pudding shots which were tasty and gone by Saturday afternoon - lol!!  We also had ourselves a few "Mona Coronas" (A Corona with a shot of Bacardi Limón in it - mmmm!) at dinner Saturday night.

5)  Genuine Friendship - To see so many of Jami's friends drive all the way here (a three hour drive at the least) to celebrate with her was beautiful!  One friend even drove up late Friday night after her flight arrived in Columbus just to spend the night even though she had to leave early Saturday morning for a birthday party.  Now that's a good friend :o)

On that note, I just want to thank you all so much for making Jami's Bachelorette Party Weekend FABULOUS!!  You really are the best friends and family a girl could ask for :o)
