I can't believe how close the wedding is getting. Not long ago it seemed like everything was taking FOREVER to get here but now time is just flying. It probably doesn't help that I have something going on just about EVERY day. Time flies when you are busy, and that's my life so... Anyway, last weekend was my bachelorette party! My sister picked a peacock theme (which is fun cuz I love peacock feathers and their colors). First, just a few of us met to get pedicures (my ugly toe is normal enough to look good when pedicured ;) and then we headed downtown. She got us a room at the Courtyard Marriott in GR so we would be near to everything we wanted and we all met there to hang out. She made pretty favors for everyone, wine glasses with fun beads/marbles and a few fun girly items for everyone. We took photos and opened presents, where I got lots of fun stuff, including LOTS of things that Mike will like even more than me!
Then we headed out to HopCat for dinner. Of COURSE HopCat was an hour's wait (and they don't take reservations so hrmph!) so we went to Tavern on the Square down the block. Still pretty yummy there too. We had some drinks and food and lots of laughs. THEN it was time to find a bar. I was kind of discouraged when we went to Mojo's because of course it was packed and I really wanted to dance but the piano bar part just doesn't have the space. So instead, we headed to the BOB. Kind of cliche as we always go there but we went up to EVE instead and that made me feel better about it. We had to wait because there was a wedding in there until 11, but after we made it up there (with only one minor insident with a creepy guy I've named Chester, who tried to get busy with three or four of us at Crush) we had fun. We were early enough that we managed to get a section of couches without having to reserve them and we had lots of fun. They made me take a few shots and then we just danced. It was such fun!
After we were done with that it was back to the hotel and although I got irritated with some not-present people at that point, the night was fun, successful and kudos to Kara for planning a fun party for me!!! Yay!!

Joyous to hear about your bachelorette party and hope it will help me in arranging my best friend’s bachelorette party in next month. I am in hunt of elegant New York venues and came across few of them. Planning to book best one.
