I usually have a blog post up pretty early every day but this morning I was a little slow moving. I have a good excuse though since I helped throw a surprise bachelorette party for my friend Maggie. You may remember that I helped throw a
surprise bridal shower for her a few months ago and gave her a
Kodak Gallery photo book of the bridal shower as a birthday gift. After months of careful planning and countless emails, we finally got to celebrate Maggie's last fling before the ring!
We started off with a pre-party at my place and I was of course happy to be in charge of the food and drinks! I didn't get photos of some of the big hits - signature pomegranate champagne cocktails, garlic bread pizza, baked brie with fig jam, chicken fingers with honey mustard and sweet and sour sauces, and pigs in a blanket. I was too busy in the kitchen to get a good photo and the food and drink went quickly. But here are a few photos of the spread:
 |
| Just two of countless bottles of wine... |
 |
| Mini Chocolate Chip Cookies |
 |
| Veggies with Sour Cream and Onion Dip |
 |
| Buffalo Wing Pretzel Crisps - these had some serious kick! |
 |
| Chips and Salsa (but I sadly missed a photo of Bret's famous guacamole) |
 |
Mini Cupcakes: Chocolate with Peppermint Frosting and
Banana with Salted Caramel Frosting from Mix Bakery
|
There were also plenty of decorations....
A "naughty" gift basket for the bride...
And of course lots of photos from the evening!
With the wedding just a few weeks away, I am hoping that Maggie had one "last night out" before the big day!
Don't forget, just a few more hours left to enter my Kings bowling pass giveaway!

That sounds like a fantastic spread!
I think my "bachelorette party" will have to include a spread that good as well. Actually maybe the whole party can just be eating! :)
