Your Bachelor/Bachelorette Party

The get together known as the “bachelor party” or “stag party,” has recently been joined by a female counterpart known as the bachelorette party.

Like the bachelor party, the bachelorette party has become a celebration of the last night of “being single” and usually includes the immediate wedding party and very close friends of the bride or groom. The best man or maid of honour is usually in charge of coordinating the event.

Be creative when planning your party. Many local businesses have suggestions that guarantee a night to remember. A private dining room in a restaurant, a hotel or spa suite are popular party locations because they allow you to fully enjoy yourselves without disturbing other guests.

Bar hopping or nightclubs with comedy acts or live entertainment are other popular choices. And while you are out enjoying the evening, avoid any problems with drinking and driving by treating yourself to a night out in a limousine.

For a party at home, movie rentals/giant party games, a pool party or a BBQ will be a fun and memorable. A caterer can provide a menu that suits the event and a baker will provide a great cake!

 

The bachelor or bachelorette party can sometimes takes the form of a shower, with the bride or groom receiving small gifts. Lingerie, gag gifts, or things to use on the honeymoon are popular themes for this type of party.

The bachelor or bachelorette party should be a fun evening for the bride and groom and their friends. Be sure the party is tailored to suit the style, and personality of the guests of honour. Also be sure to preserve the evening in pictures. These party pictures will create an album of laughs that will last long after the party is over!

Wedding Planning -Looking Good

Love is the greatest refreshment in life. Pablo Picasso

Knowing you look great on your wedding day is a simple task with the help of a professional. A calming relaxing facial is the best possible way to forget any feelings of chaos and frustration that you may be feeling before the wedding.

You will not regret the time  you share with an esthetician  salon or spa,  a week before the wedding. Another bonus is the beautiful way make up goes on to a properly cleansed skin. Little things like this make all the difference to how you feel before your special day.

Nails properly manicured, add a lovely finished look. If growing strong, beautiful nails is not your forte, nail extensions or nail tips may be professionally applied to look and feel very natural. Once your wedding day is past, these tips will aid in the growing of your own nails. Nail polish is another important consideration. You won’t want a bold colour, choose something soft instead to complement your colour scheme and personality. Don’t forge the relaxing hand massage that is include.

Your beauty regime should start very early on, right when you get engaged; while everyone is looking at your stunning new engagement ring, you’ll want your hands to be well groomed.

Skin care is always an ongoing and scheduled task. If you suffer from acne or skin conditions, a good esthetician can work with you at the beginning of your planning d to have, beautiful glowing skin for your wedding day.

Countdown to a wedding, bridal blogger shares her journey. Windsor, Ontario

It wasn’t such a long time ago that I said, I will, and started the exciting process of planning my wedding. I bought magazines, breezed through bridal shows and debated over roses vs. freesia. The freesia won out because of its heady fragrance, that will drift through the entire wedding day.

We are going to take the aisle flowers from the church to the reception, and with a simple addition of a hanger, they are going to decorate the front of the head table and augment the centre pieces. Brilliant thinking. I was bedazzled at (flowers), where I had the coolest service and walked away filled with great ideas  and one more thing ticked off my giant to-do list!

I’m still not certain about the menu for the wedding. My fiancé Jeff and I are still debating roast prime or a medley of chicken, garnished in a Mediterranean- style sauce. That decision is still up for grabs!

My brides maids love me because I decided on a turquoise colour theme, and, now they can choose their own style dress. That way, they will still be able to wear the dress to other celebrations and not curse me when they look inside their closets. LOL

I’ve hired the photographer we were so impressed with; a little photo-journal style and a little traditional. We wanted to share as many family shots as humanly possible, but still have the balance of cool shots that we can look at years from now. Candids are fun too!

I am contemplating a reality-type video, but want to really think about it longer, and the cruise to the Caribbean is locked and loaded. Ah, Jeff, you did it well!

I have a little time now to check out invitations and I hear that trendy vintage is the newest rage in wedding stationery. With our glam- type theme, ( thanks to the Wedding Guide- I saw this when I picked up my guide!)

I’m thinking of another spa appointment soon. I am so pampered and feel so much lighter when I spend an afternoon at Estetica Day Spa in Lakeshore. I started going on a regular basis about six months,  as the reality of the wedding started to hit me. I am going there because I wanted a radiant complexion on my wedding day. It’s definitely brighter  with the treatments happening and I am loving the new me. The spa is relaxing and I found the occasional massage has certainly soothed out any stresses that I feel coming on. The place is an oasis and I love the atmosphere- so soothing.

Well, I’ve been rambling, but I wanted to start this blogging. The wedding is in October , so there wil be lots  more to come as the months get closer.

Signing off!
