What you may or may not know is that in addition to my role as "bride" in my September wedding, I have an alter-ego as a
bridesmaid in my Matron of Honor (MaOH), E's, Floridian destination wedding in July. After a marathon engagement of approximately two years and two months, her and her FI are quickly approaching the finish line. As of this past weekend, her combo bridal shower/bachelorette party, there are officially NO more celebratory milestones between now and becoming Mr. & Mrs.!
In keeping with her Spanish heritage, MaOH E is getting married in St. Augustine, Florida, the oldest city in the nation, which boasts an insane amount of Spanish charm. To keep with the feel of her wedding, we chose to host her shower at the closest thing to Spanish flare we could find - a Mexican restaurant!
We continued to infuse Spanish theme into our New England-based restaurant by decorating the large guest table with mini potted flowers that resembled palm trees, and with favors from
Whetstone Chocolates of St. Augustine that had been slyly shipped to my apartment by MaOH's mother, who resides in Florida!
Brunch was had and champagne for toasting was enjoyed by all! Finally, after a delicious fried egg with truffled breakfast potatoes, it was time to open gifts:

After gift time, we finished up some conversations and hit the road to rest up at the hotel room. We had a looooong night ahead of us....filled with jello shots and vodka drinks and.....
....bachelorette party human pyramids...

Yup, that's the "bachelorette" sash and one shoe from the bride-to-be. Looks like they didn't make it into the room for the night....a sign of a good time, indeed.
Have you been to a bachelorette party recently? What's your idea of a kick-ass bachelorette party?
