At sunrise, toast to the bride with pink champagne!
Go Retro with an 80's Party
Skate into married life with a retro-roller party. Dress up like Roller Girl from the movie Boogie Nights. Serve retro candy reminiscent of childhood: Skittles, Ring Pops, RainBlow. Give these bridal party tube socks to your bridesmaids as bridesmaid gifts.
Slumber Partying
Who could forget the slumber parties we had as kids? But this one won't be in your parents' basement! Deck out your place slumber party style and bust out old school board games (Girl Talk, anyone?). Mix in some movies and wine and you have yourself an adult-friendly sleepover.
Sex and the City Bachelorettes
If you want a salacious bachelorette party that's not over the top, make it Sex and the City themed! Serve cosmos, Chinese take out, and play Sex and the City trivia. Ask each of your bridesmaids to dress as their favorite characters. Recreate one of your favorite episodes: Attend Fleet Week, Fashion Week, or go to a museum.
