My ideal Bachelorette Party
Yes, I know that this celebration is a LONG ways off, but recent involvement as a bridesmaid (do you hear that old phrase about “always a bridesmaid”?) had me thinking about my ideal Bachelorette Party. After many years, and many different levels of involvement I have come to a conclusion about the “what I wants” in this joyous, pink celebration. (Note: the “what I wants” are about a party and NOT about a husband. Which, perhaps, is the reason that I am the perpetual bridesmaid.)
Must Haves
- Booze. And I mean A LOT. No shots please, but tank me up with Moscow Mules (or any other cocktail with ginger beer), Gin & Tonics, and yes, I will even drink a cosmo (sigh! SOOOO 6 years ago). Frankly I would be happy drinking Ninkasi Summer Ale all evening, but I have a feeling my friends won’t think that is refined enough for this event. Like wearing a Prom dress and eating ribs.
- Team uniform. If I have to wear it, you bitches have to wear it too. Whether a t-shirt, tank top, or cocktail dress, whatever! But this ship isn’t going to sail without a matching fleet.
- Dancing. Nothing too fancy, but preferably not standing outside of someone’s bumpin’ Honda dancing on a sidewalk. Even though that is something that I would do.
- Accessories. Now here is where it might get a little complicated: a guy named “Chet” and another guy named “Chip”—fully clothed, and ready to be mouthed-off at by the bride-to-be. Also I would like for there to be squirt guns and a monkey. Monkey should be diapered, and I would prefer a chimpanzee.
- Food? Sushi? I will leave it up to the gals. I would prefer to not have to be the one cooking. And don’t let me even if I volunteer and persist.
More to come. Let me think about it.
