Sex and the City Bachelorette Party

Long overdue post....but in July I threw my wonderful friend's bachelorette party. Tara is a girly girl who loves Sex and the City, pink, and high heels. We've been on the Sex and the City tour in NYC together, followed by Sex and the City 2 (the movie). So, I knew she would love a Sex and the City themed night. I scoured the internet for ideas on Sex and the City parties, but all of them were based on home parties. So, I pulled some inspiration and figured out how to make a night out on the town have a fun theme.

As with any good party, the theme starts with the invitations. Luckily, my husband is a great graphic designer. I made a horrific looking word document with a pixelated skyline, off-center print, and directions to "make this look good!".

Then came the challenge of how to mix the theme into dinner out. Luckily, Level Dining Lounge looks like something from Sex and the City; white leather chairs, low lighting, hot waiters...did I mention it's a gay restaurant/bar? I, of course, had lots of penis paraphernalia  for the bachelorette. So, when we got to the restaurant I quickly put up a penis centerpiece, put favors on each girl's plate, and put Sex and the City trivia cards scattered in the center of the two tables we had. I found the Sex and the City Trivia game at my local thrift store for $1.99! The cards from the game are really cute and added a lot of decoration to the table, plus the questions were fun to ask each other as we were mingling and waiting for our food orders to arrive.

For the favors, I got each girl a colorful penis straw, because what bachelorette party is complete without those? However, I wanted to once again incorporate the theme. So, I made penis-shaped sugar cookies with pink icing. I attached a tag to each one with one of four quotes from the show, one from Carrie, one from Charlotte, one from Samantha, and one from Miranda.

The last way I incorporated the theme into the night was with our scavenger hunt. I didn't want to have a bunch of trashy games for Tara to do, but I wanted there to be a fun way to make the night a little more interesting than an average night bar hopping. So, I came up with a scavenger hunt with tasks to complete. The group was divided into four teams...you guessed it: Team Carrie, Team Miranda, Team Charlotte, and Team Samantha. Each team had a list of items to complete. It was a lot of fun!

The night was a blast and everyone enjoyed themselves! Tara loved the Sex and the City themed "Sexy in the City" bachelorette party and I had an amazing time planning everything for my best friend :)
