Bachelorette Party: Kamasutra Drinks

Last June my girl Erin got MARRIED! The wedding was beautiful and the husband, Jellybean and I had an amazing time. I am just so honored to have been her Matron of Honor. Though we aren’t related by blood this girl is like a sister to me. Our birthdays are just 10 days apart and we’ve know each other our entire lives … we met while our parents were preparing for our birth at lamaze class. But enough mushy stuff, let’s talk about the bachelorette party!

The bachelorette party and bridal shower were held the same weekend. I already shared the Badass Bachelorette Survival Kits we made for each of the ladies for the big night out. What I haven’t shared was the theme for the evening or the details of the pre-party. I’m ashamed it has taken me so long to get this post together!

Saturday night was ‘sex’ themed … yeah, I know, but it’s a bachelorette party. The night was broken into three groups …

“Foreplay” – Drinks/Bachelorette Games/Pantie Game
“Midpoint” – Dinner
“Climax” – Dancing!

The other DC based bridesmaid’s came up with the fantastic idea of doing Kamasutra themed drinks during the “foreplay” portion of the evening. They were so tasty and the at the bachelorette really like the little details and descriptions of each of the drinks. Assuming I am remembering correctly after searching my emails (errr why didn’t I do this earlier again?!) there were 4 drinks…

The Perfect Manhattan and the Kamasutra Probe (sweet vermouth, extra dy vermouth, bitters, bourbon)
The sexy devil (vodka, cranberry, dry vermouth, lemon peel, cherry)
The Naked Martini (It’s a take on the classic dirty martini).
Can’t find the name … POUT … Vodka, grapefruit and rosemary (pictured above)

And here is the drink table my friend put together … that guy still cracks me up!

Have you seen this before at a bachelorette party? Any recommendations on other fun ‘bachelorette’ themed drinks?

Bachelorette Survival Kit

by Nicole ⋅ 4 Comments

A couple of weekends ago I took off my mommy hat and put on my ‘adult’ pants for my oldest friend’s bachelorette party!! My family and friends were joking that I would be calling it a night around 11pm, however I am happy to report I stayed out dancing with my friends until 2am … sometimes I really do surprise myself! As I’ve gotten older I have become more into going out to dinner than a going out clubbing or to a bar, but once in a while it is definitely fun to let loose and have a late night. And lucky for me, my husband was kind enough to handle baby duty for the whole evening and the next morning so I could get some sleep.

As the bridesmaids and I started to brainstorm for the bachelorette party I took to Pinterst (obviously) to see what ideas were out there. First I checked out my Fling Before the Ring board to see what I previously pinned and I immediately found something that triggered an idea. For my bachelorette, my maid of honor had put together little goodie bags for each girl. I loved the idea and wanted to do something similar. Enter the badass bachlorette survival kit inspiration, which can be found here.

It took us a little while to determine what should go in each bag. In the end each survival kit included:

Penis Straw {not pictured}
Altoids
Chocolate
Party Beads
Bangles
Red Lipstick
Scratch a Dare
Advil

Originally, I had intended to print everyone’s names on the front of the bags and ‘Badass Bachelorette Survival Kit’ on the other side, however the printer and the bags didn’t get along well. Hand writing everything on the bags would have been a possibility if I had nice hand writing. Overall I am really happy with how the survival kits came out. I think the bride-to-be and her possy put the kits to good use!! =)

FREE Badass Bachelorette Printable can be downloaded here. I have uploaded the MS Word version so you can add/remove survival kit items as needed. I really get bummed out when I find a fabulous printable and then can’t use it because it’s un-editable. You will need to download two free fonts for this printable: Pottery Barn and FangSong. I purchased 4×6 Cardstock to print the survival kit message on.

Did you do bachelorette party favors or survival kits? If so, what did you include in the bags?
