Party! Party! Party!

Well, following 5 months of planning, planning and more planning, the countdown to the Bachelorette party of the century is ON!

Two of my closest friends, Sam and Roy, are tying the knot in a few weeks. And literally, from the day they announced their wedding date, we (the bridesmaids) have been toiling away, plotting and planning the Bachelorette party. Initially, we planned a getaway weekend. The maid-of-honor wanted us to whisk Sam away to Vegas for a long weekend.... others thought a couple days in Orlando would be more (financially) feasible. However, when the Bride-to-be stated that she wished to stay in town, we had to go back to the drawing board.

Well, let me tell ya, "M" (the maid-of-honor) has done an amazing job of putting together an in-town girl's weekend...

Here's the agenda:

Saturday, May 1st, 2004
11:00 am: Meet for brunch
Noon: Proceed on to a luxurious day spa, where we already have services scheduled (manicures, peppermint pedicures, facials, etc...)
4:00 pm: Gather at oceanfront hotel, where we have two adjoining suits booked; change clothes (each party-goer has ordered a fitted camouflage tee-shirt, which has been embroidered with her nickname), prepare to go out and commence drinking
6:00 pm: Surprise "lingerie shower" (there is a regular shower the following weekend, but this way she won't suffer the embarrassment of unwrapping crotchless panties and glow-in-the-dark pasties in the presence of her Grandmother, etc....)
7:30 pm: Walk two blocks to Bride's favorite Mexican Restaurant for dinner
9:00 pm: Upon leaving restaurant, group will be picked up in 16-seat Humvee H2 limo (complete with hardwood floors, 2 fireplaces, 6 flat screen TVs, DVD/CD surround sound, etc....) and we will tool around town, acting like drunk, obnoxious fools for the next 6 hours, after which we will be dropped off at the afore-mentioned oceanfront hotel for the night (so there will be NO one attempting to drive home after drinking).

I have been asked (by the Bride) to keep an eye on her and make sure the maid-of-honor doesn't get her TOO blasted drunk (she said she wants to get drunk, but still would like to remember things in the morning). What can I say - "M" is a wild-woman, and if she had her way, we'd all wake up in Mexico or something.

I'm getting so excited!! This is going to be a blast (and you can be assured I will post pictures here!).
