Bachlorette Party Decor

This past weekend was my best friend's, since 3rd grade, bachlorette party! So, I was the coordinator of party in a pack :) The main theme for the party was "Ali's Favorite Things" with a Hot Pink/Black portion for the Lingerie party that went along with the weekend.

Welcome area, cute chalk board made by Marietta at She Blogs

My creative touch and an invitation of sorts since we did an Evite to all the girls. I wanted her to have something to put in her book as a memento.

Her favorite candies. Food tags by KGD , loved them!!!

Utensil station

Sunflowers are her favorite flowers

The table with easy, cute tissue flowers hanging from the light. Learn how to make these here:

Thank you to Katie, Marietta and Megan who all helped me put this weekend together. I couldn't have been successful without you all!

Our Activity Room

We have just revolutionized our marriage and life together!! The "man cave" has been re-invented into the "Activity Room". Jordan likes to play games and I like to blog, yet my computer battery is dead unless plugged in and so I didn't really get on it much since I didn't have a desk.

That all changed today and has changed everything as we know it!!!

Welcome our new desk! 

I love my chair! 

Besides some at home tasks today, we have spent time "together" doing our activities! 

Beauty and the Beast and a SURPRISE!!!!

Our Kid Date centered this main event of Beauty and the Beast! 
*outside Walton Art Center


To all those wondering, yes Jordan sang all before the show and then with great effort whispered his singing once the show began. I was awesome! My most favorite show EVER! 

But that is not where our great date ended to my SURPRISE! We headed out of the Art Center and at some point up Dickson Jordan had me close my eyes and walked me all over the place it seemed. I ended up here: 


and opened my eyes to this cute spot, awesome and to this..

LOOK at that view of Old Main and Dickson St. It was lovely!!!

I was shocked and so happy to be here. Fun way to end our night, but at this point I didn't realize that we were at Dickson St. Inn and staying the night too!

The view from our room and it had it's own balcony.
I'm beyond thankful for my husband and his thoughtfulness for such a special evening. I don't deserve such a great creative man!  Our goal is to stay at a Bed and Breakfast each year for our Anniversary and since year 2 is just a couple weeks away this worked perfect! 

I would recommend this place to anyone. The staff is amazing, the room was lovely and each room has a different decor to it. This is an older home remodeled and it is just exquisite!!!

KID NIGHT, DATE NIGHT!

Jordan and I have a huge passion for DISNEY WORLD!!! I know you might have been expecting something deeper, but there it is, we love Disney World and all the goodness of being a fun kid! So when we heard that the show: Beauty and the Beast was coming to Fayetteville we knew we would have to get tickets! 

So in honor of our Disney fun night, I decided to make it a fun kid night all together. We will be having grilled cheese sandwiches, mac-n-cheese, green beans and chocolate milk for our supper. I found the fun kid plates for $1 at target and grabbed some butcher paper for the table cloth with crayons! 







On my side I wrote out fun kid questions for us to chat about.

On his side I wrote him notes.

And then we will be off to sing and be merry to the lovely Beauty and the Beast!!!

Hope you all can have a little fun this weekend!
