Okay, so, I have some bad news. Well, good news for me, bad news for the blog. I just got the big promotion I've been vying for (make that really good news for me), which I couldn't be happier about, but it does mean that I'm going to have to work a lot more. And that means I'm going to have to cut back on some of my hobbies, which includes this blog. It's unfortunate because this is sort of ending the blog early - I had plenty more advice to give, I'm sure, if I could ever think of it.
However, it might not go ungiven forever. I've been thinking about transferring all of my blog posts onto a website, with its own domain name and everything. And if I do that, there might be a chance that I could keep posting to that site - although it's slim. It will depend on how much time I have with my new job duties. But I definitely want to at least try and move everything I've already posted over to a real website, because I feel like I can reach more people that way and hopefully more girls can benefit from my tips. So, it'll probably be a while before that launches, but I'm going to try my hardest to make that happen. And if (no, when) it happens, I'll post the link to it back here so you all know where to go in case I ever post new tips, too. Okay, so, I guess that's goodbye for the blog. It's been awesome, and I hope to talk to you all again with that website some time soon.
Sincerely,
Carly

Tip #43: Waist Accessories
Today, I was checking back on that necklaces and boas category to make sure I didn't miss any, and I found a surprise! I didn't miss any necklaces or boas (at least not any that I would recommend), but I did miss something else they had hiding in there - waist accessories. What do I mean by that? Well, take a look!
The first thing that caught my eye was this pink neon belt. And that's not really surprising, it's quite the eye-catcher! This would be an absolutely perfect accessory for an 80s-themed bachelorette party, but I could see it going well with a lot of other kinds of outfits, too. No matter what you put it with, this looks like a great thing to wear if you want your bride to attract lots of attention! Of course, maybe you'd prefer another kind of belt...
A shot tube belt! This is hilarious and one of the most creative concepts I've ever seen. You have no idea how much I wish I had this for some of the parties I planned back in the day (I feel so old saying it like that!) I know I've said that about a lot of things, but this is probably one of my favorite things I've ever found, hands down. It's like a utility belt for booze! The only concern I have with it is an obvious one - you have to be very careful not to spill when you walk around with this thing. But that problem can be easily avoided by only filling the tubes halfway up. Which should still be plenty of alcohol; there are six of them after all!
Okay, I can't top that, but there is one more accessory I found that I wanted to share:
A bachelorette tutu! This would be a cute accessory for a classier, penis-free party. Or if your bachelorette used to take ballet lessons. Or you could combine it with a tiara if she wants to be (or thinks she is) a princess, hah! I think this could contribute to a very fun look in a lot of ways. But it's still not as versatile or hilarious or stylish as the shot tube belt. If you can't tell, I really wish I had that back when I was planning parties! Haha. Okay, that's all for waist accessories (probably), so I'll be on to something else next time!

Carly

Tip #42: Necklaces part 2
As promised, here's another post about necklaces! I finally got around to looking down farther on that page, and what I found were some necklaces that were unique and different in a lot of ways. Any of these look like they could be fun, but I confess I've got a favorite - I'll save that one for last! But first, here's this one:
They call it the hottie whistle necklace. I love the concept behind this, that you can blow the whistle when you spot a hottie at the bar - that could turn into a fun game for the entire party! One of the comments raises a good point, though. You can't do it too often (or at all some places) because the bar manager might not like the noise. If you're going to spend any of your party outside in the city, though, this could be perfect!
They also had a couple shot glasses attached to necklaces, and these were my favorites. The first one says bachelorette on the loose and the second one is a penis shot glass! So there are options whether you're having a raunchy bachelorette party or a penis-free one. Shot glasses on necklaces tend to work very well, in my experience, at getting the bride-to-be drunk. People are a lot more ready to buy a girl shots if she's wearing a shot glass on a necklace, for some reason - especially if that necklace is dangling down into a low cut top. Bridesmaids, be careful and make sure the bachelorette doesn't accept too many of those free shots! But if you're careful, these can be a lot of fun. Not as fun as this next one, though. Here comes my favorite!
What's the best kind of necklace? A candy necklace! I love these things, and I saw it in the category on that site so I just had to include it. They have a pack of 12 for $4, which is a pretty good deal I think! This is a great option if you want something for the entire party to "wear" - the only catch is, a lot of girls probably won't be wearing it for long! This could make a good accessory (for a little while) to hand out or something for goodie bags if you choose to do something like that. Or if you just want something to munch on! The uses are endless, hah! Okay, that should be all for necklaces. Now I'm off to think of what to post about next time!

Carly

Tip #41: Necklaces part 1
Well, we're done talking about boas already, but it looks like we're not done talking about things that go on your neck! I was double checking that boas and sashes category (to make sure I didn't miss any boas, of course!) and I noticed that there were also a bunch of necklaces in it, too. So here are some necklaces I spotted that looked good (and a cuple that I've actually gotten before)
First, but certainly not least, there are regular old mardi gras beads. They're kind of plain compared to some other options, but they're a classic for a reason. They're fun, colorful, and go with just about anything. They're one of the cheapest options out there, too. I've gotten these before and they've gone over well. I think this is the best option if you want to get some sort of necklace for everyone in the party - at least, they're the most cost effective. Just make sure none of the girls drink so much that they actually think it's mardi gras, and do what they would then for the beads! I almost saw that happen once... luckily, the maid of honor intervened!
Here's another mardi gras bead type necklace that's a little less subtle and basic - penis mardi gras beads. They're pretty much exactly what you'd expect, a bead necklace with little penises attached to it. I think I would pick this for the bachelorette to go with a penis-themed outfit and party! But here's another option, one that I actually did pick once:
A glow-in-the-dark penis necklace. But it's not just a necklace with a bunch of little penis decorations on it, it just practically has one big glowing dildo hanging off the end of it. I bought it for a party once, and it went over great - you had better believe it attracted plenty of attention - but I don't think I'd ever buy it again. It's just too much. If you have someone wear this, be prepared. It's going to be a crazy night. Like they say on that website, it's definitely bold. Maybe it's because the party I bought it for was near the end of my planning days and I was already growing old and boring (hah!) but one night with this thing was enough. If you're young, though, maybe you'll be more up to the task. But you have been warned.
Changing directions, here's another necklace I found that's raunchy in a totally different way - a condom necklace. I'm mostly just posting this because I thought it was hilarious. I can't imagine anyone actually wearing this around. I mean, really? A bunch of penis-shaped things is one thing, but actual condoms? I don't know. I think I'm glad I never hosted a party for a girl who would want to wear this, let's put it that way.
Anyways, it looked like there were even more necklaces further down the page, but I didn't get a chance to get to them because I've got to run, so you can expect another necklace post next time!

Carly

Tip #40: Boas
Okay, we're finally done talking about sashes now, as I'm sure some of you were hoping (but not expecting)! So I thought it would be a natural move to move on to something similar next: boas! I don't know if those two are too inherently linked (other than that they both go around your neck, maybe?) but they're in a category together on that bachelorette party site, so I thought it would make sense to look at what they have there for boas next! I even found a couple that I know I've bought for parties before. For example:
There isn't much out of the ordinary about this pink feather boa, but it's quite bright and eye-catching! I got it for a friend at her bachelorette party a couple of years ago because it went along with all of her other clothes and all the decorations and things we picked out - everything was hot or neon pink! Of course, I'm sure this would be a good looking sash even if everything else isn't bright pink, too, but if it isn't the color you want, you're in luck - it looks like that site has the same style of sash in purple, red, and black, too!
But if you want something a little more exciting (and raunchy) than a solid color boa, how about this?
Yep, it's a boa with light-up penises in it. I know I've gotten this one for a party before, too, but I can't remember for who or when. I'm sure it went over great, though - how could it not, with light-up penises? I have to admit, those are some of my favorite types of accessories for bachelorettes (or everyone!) to wear.
Okay, now, believe it or not, those are all the boas that they had on that website. I know I've gotten some other designs before, but I either can't remember them or can't find them online. But I felt like this post wasn't long enough compared to the last two, so here's a little bonus: something I found there while I was looking that isn't quite a boa but is pretty close!
Okay, maybe it's not really that close, but I saw it and I wanted to include it in the post. It's a bachelorette party lei. From the picture it might just look like a normal lei, but if you look closely (or read the product page) it reveals that there are all kinds of bachelorette-themed goodies attached to it: penis pacifiers, condoms, candy, lube, and a button! Isn't that fun? If you're throwing a penis-free party, you could always remove the inappropriate items beforehand and give the bride the lei with the other things still attached. Okay, that's it for boas (and a lei), so next time I'll be moving on to something else again... probably!

Carly

Tip #39: Sashes part 3
I know, I know, I said I would be moving on from sashes this time. And just when I thought I was getting better about not doing this! But something occurred to me when I was looking for what to post about today - I posted about all kinds of sashes I found for bachelorettes, but only that one set of sashes for the rest of the bachelorette party! So I decided to do some more searching for those kinds of sashes to see what's out there. It looks like that set I got for a party way back when is the only real set I can seem to find, but it looks like there are some individual sashes for maids of honor and bridesmaids too. For example:
This is a nice white sash for the maid of honor with glitter lettering on it. The thing I like about this sash is that it could probably match anything that the maid of honor would wear, and it could match pretty much any sash the bachelorette herself would wear. So this is very versatile, perfect if you're not trying to coordinate your outfits beforehand! (and who has the time to do that when you're busy planning the rest of the party?)
Now, these two sashes look like they were specifically made to match up with the flashing pink bride to be sash (the first one in my last post), the only difference is that one is for the maid of honor and the other's for the bridesmaids. Although, what I can't figure out is, the bride to be sash and the bridesmaid sash are flashing, but it looks like the maid of honor one isn't. That's kind of weird, isn't it? I guess you could just give her a bridesmaid sash if she really wants to flash (with the sash, she shouldn't be doing any other kind of flashing!) But either way I think all three of these sashes look great together and would be a nice choice if you all want to match perfectly.
Last but not least, I found this sash that just says "Bachelorette Party!" - So you could give it to anyone, really, whether they're the bachelorette or a bridesmaid or not even part of the wedding! It has a cute little rhinestone martini glass on it, which is fun. It's a little pricier than other options, but apparently it's much higher quality, so if you can afford to get one for everybody, it might be the best option. You wouldn't want to get these for a couple girls and cheaper sashes for the rest - that just wouldn't be fair. Especially if the bachelorette gets a cheaper sash!
Okay, I think that's really it for sashes this time. I'll post about something different next time, I promise! Really!
Sincerely,
Carly

Tip #38: Sashes part 2
Yesterday I finally got a chance to go back and look at the sashes some more and pick out the ones that look the best to me. So, as promised (for once), this post is about my favorite sashes that I've never actually bought before! Here's one of them:
This one is another flashing sash, but in pink. The design has a little less going on than that other flashing sash, but it's more elegant, I think. So if you want the bachelorette to look elegant but still show a fun and wild side because of the lights, I think this sash would be a good pick.
I also really like the look of this one. It's metallic, which seems pretty unique, and the word "bachelorette" is spelled out in all different letters so it's colorful and a shiny metallic at the same time. The design looks really cool and modern, but the only worry I have is some of the product reviews about it - they say that it rips easily. As long as you're careful with it, though, I can't imagine that would be too big of a problem and this could be a very fun sash to wear. But not as fun as this next one, which has got to be my absolute favorite of all the ones I found:
It's a caution tape sash! I've never seen one of these before but this idea is hilarious and great. It doesn't look too bad, either - it's funny and fashionable! This sash is great if you want to warn everyone that the bachelorette is coming - I sure could have used that for a couple of the parties that I threw! I think this is the perfect sash for a girl with a sense of humor, or a wild girl who might not understand that you're really serious about the warning to everyone she encounters! That's just too funny. Okay, that does it for sashes, I think. I don't know what I'll post about next time... other neck wear, maybe? We'll see!

Carly

Tip #37: Sashes part 1
Okay, as promised, no more posts about headwear! Now it’s on to another very popular accessory that I often bought for bachelorettes to wear: sashes. I have to say, though, even I was surprised by how many options there are when it comes to this! I don’t think there were nearly this many sashes available in the heyday of my party planning, and definitely not these kinds of designs. So I can only make a few recommendations based on my own actual experience. I’ll do that this time, and then maybe I’ll post about sashes that look good but that I’ve never bought before. Anyways, for starters, here’s my favorite that I ever bought:
I bought this sash for a good friend’s bachelorette party and she absolutely loved it. If you want a sash that will attract a lot of attention to the bachelorette, this is it. Especially in a bar where the lights are sort of dim, the flashing lights will really stand out. It’s a little wide, but with some bobby pins holding it up you shouldn’t have to worry about it sliding off. I really like the design on this sash, and the light-up feature is pretty unique, and with those combined you can see why it’s my favorite. Here’s another one I really like:
This one’s got a sleek, sexy feel to it. Plus, it’s a nice change up from the typical pink-and-white color scheme that you find with most sashes (and clothes in general) for bachelorette parties. I had a friend whose taste this suited perfectly, so I got it for her party and she loved it.
Now, maybe you want to buy sashes for the entire party to wear and match. I did that once, and these are the sashes I got. The only issue is that the set doesn’t include a matching sash for the bachelorette, but then again, maybe your bachelorette wants a unique sash so she can stand out. I managed to find a very similar design for the bachelorette at the party when I got these, but I can’t seem to find it online any more. I did find this, though, and it seems like it would go along with them pretty well. It’s a pretty different design and style, but I think they would compliment each other nicely. Maybe there are other options out there, though. I’m going to look through all the sashes they have and find some new favorites, since I can’t seem too find too many of the sashes that I’ve actually bought before. So, that’s what I’ll be posting about next time!
Sincerely,
Carly

Tip #36: Miscellaneous Headwear
Okay, this really is the last post about headwear, I promise! I know I said that last time, but after this there’s definitely nothing else I could post about that goes on your head. I saw these things the first time I posted about the veils and I made a mental note to post about them at some point, but I guess that note got lost – not too hard to believe with how scattered my mind’s can be sometimes these days! Anyways, these are some headwear items that don’t really fit into any of the categories from the previous posts… you’ll see what I mean. This, for example:
Bet you wouldn’t think of light-up devil horns when you were thinking of headwear for a bachelorette party, right? Seems like the sort of thing you might see girls wearing on halloween, if anything! But I know a couple of girls who I’m sure would love to wear this sort of thing to the bars, and it would certainly get you noticed, that’s for sure! Just make sure the bachelorette’s also wearing something that says she’s the bride-to-be! But if you want something even more flashy and attention-grabbing, there’s also this:
Flashing sequin bunny ears. It doesn’t get much more attention-grabbing than that! Sequins and flashing multicolored lights? You could probably make a game of trying to make your bachelorette not get noticed wearing this, and it would probably be pretty hard! It’s another thing that I’d only expect to see on halloween, but hey, I’m all for creative use of accessories like this! Plus, both of the above work great at any bachelorette party, and can convey a bit of a naughty side without using penises if you want to avoid that. But if you don’t want to avoid that, well…
Then there’s this dick through the head. If your bachelorette party is penis-themed and you want everyone to know it, I think this would work much better than any veil or tiara could. Because instead of being a normal clothing item with small penis designs added to it, all this could possibly be is a giant penis through your head. This is probably one of the silliest things I’ve found for any bachelorette party, and that’s really saying something, because there are some really silly and stupid things out there related to penises, as you can imagine. Okay, I think that’s really it for headwear this time. Seriously. Next time I’ll really move on to something else! Really!
Sincerely,
Carly

Tip #35: Cowgirl Hats
I guess I was just kidding when I said I was moving on from headwear - I took a quick look back at that page to see if I missed anything, and what do you know, I did! I’m not surprised that I didn’t think of it at first, though, because it’s not a very traditional bachelorette party option. Tiaras and veils are both classic attire, but this is something new that I guess has been on an upward trend recently. And that trend is cowgirl hats. I guess it’s a sign of the changing times, or something, and cowgirl hats give off a more wild party vibe than tiaras or veils. I guess that makes sense. It’s just a little strange; everybody wore tiaras and veils back when I was planning parties regularly. But I don’t want to give outdated advice, so here are some of these new hats for the modern-minded girls out there.
This one’s just a standard pink cowgirl hat. And believe it or not, when I looked again, it’s the only normal cowgirl hat I found! All of the other ones had veils attached to them. It looks like girls aren’t giving up on tradition that easily! I really like how the cowgirl hat with a veil attached looks, too, so here are a couple of my favorites that I found:
This one’s just a standard-colored cowgirl hat with nothing remarkable about it, from the looks of it. But there’s nothing wrong with the basics. If your bachelorette’s the type who doesn’t like anything flashy, this one would work great. But if she loves flashy things and your party’s going to be full of sequins and glitter and shiny banners, this one might be a better bet:
This one’s pink with a bunch of gems and rhinestones on the front of it, it looks like. So if your bachelorette likes flashy, it’s certainly that. And it manages to pull it off without being gaudy - I think it looks pretty cute. I’d never wear it, of course - I was a traditional tiara+veil gal - but if you’re looking for a cowgirl hat, this is probably my favorite one. And with that, I think I’m finally done covering headwear, for real this time. I promise, I’ll move on to some other clothing accessory next time! I promise!

Tip #34: Combo Tiara+Veils
So I’ve posted tiaras for girls who want tiaras, and veils for girls who want veils. But what if you just can’t decide? Well, you’re in luck, there’s options for all the indecisive girls out there (or the ones who don’t know what their bachelorette would prefer) too. Presenting...
The bachelorette tiara and veil combo! It’s a veil attached to the back of a tiara that says “Bachelorette.” It’s a great option if your bachelorette wants both or can’t decide on either. But if pink’s not really her style, there’s a black one, too:
And this one says “Bride to be” instead of “Bachelorette” on the tiara, so you’ve got a few stylistic options even in this small little subset of bachelorette party attire. And of course, it wouldn’t be something for bachelorette parties if there wasn’t a version of it with penises on it.
Yeah, remember that blinky and wiggly penis tiara from last time? Well this penis tiara with a veil is basically just that, but with a veil. So if you’re throwing one of those over-the-top-penises-everywhere parties, this one’s a great option. Unfortunately, there don’t seem to be any combination tiara+veils with just tiny penises for the girls who only want to embarrass their bachelorette a little bit. But you could always buy a tiara and a veil and put them both on her head, I don’t see why that wouldn’t work. Anyways, I think by now I’ve probably exhausted all the headgear options there are out there for bachelorette parties - probably - so I’ll move on to something else next week. Unless I discover there’s something I forgot, which from the way things have been going, is totally possible. There’s just so much stuff out there, how is one woman supposed to sort through it all? Well, that’s what I’m here for, and I’m glad to do it. Bye for now!

Carly

Tip #33: Tiaras part 2
As promised, here are some tiaras I found that have penises on them! There actually weren’t nearly as many as I expected there to be. It looks like as far as tiaras go, the ratio of penis to penis-free is actually pretty even, what do you know? But of the penis ones I found, here were my favorites.
Just like with the veils, it looks like there’s a fairly subtle option here. This tiara just has little colorful penises on it which no one would be able to identify from more than a few feet away. This is another one of those options that’s good if you want to be a little bit fun and naughty but not too over-the-top, it’s a good middle ground. If you want to embarrass your bride-to-be just a little bit (like if, say, a guy comes up to talk to her and sees the penises) but not too much. But if you do want to be over-the-top, there are options for that too, of course. Like this:
If she wears the flashing pecker tiara, there’ll be no question about what’s on her head. Not only are the rainbow-colored penises displayed prominently, but they flash, too - flashing penises is quite a trend with bachelorette party clothing accessories these days! I’m quite a fan of the design of this, I like how the penises look against the fuzzy white tiara. This one’s probably my favorite, and it’s sure to draw a good amount of attention and embarrassment to your bachelorette, if that’s what you’re going for. But if even that’s too tame or subtle for you and you want your bachelorette to be wearing something really crazy, you’re in luck. Look at this last one I found:
Yeah. How ridiculous is that? It even has a silly name to go along with it: the Blinky ‘N’ Wiggly Penis Tiara. Not only do the penises light up, they bop up and down on your head. What a silly piece of headgear. I think it’s safe to say that if you want your bachelorette to draw lots of attention, this is the tiara I’d recommend she wear for that. And on that note, I think that’s all the tiaras I found (that didn’t seem sub-par), so that’s it for today’s post. Until next time.

Carly

Tip #32: Tiaras part 1
If you remember way back when I posted the first time about veils (it wasn’t actually that long ago!) I mentioned that there are two main types of sort of “headgear” that brides-to-be usually wear at their bachelorette parties - veils and tiaras. Well, we’ve gone over veils, so what’s next? Tiaras, of course! As was the case with veils (and most other things you might buy for a bachelorette party), there are both penis-themed and penis-free options. So I’ll start with the penis-free ones again, for the sake of appealing to everyone.
First, here’s the classic silver tiara that says “Bachelorette” on it. It’s simple, it’s attention-getting, and it goes well with pretty much any outfit the bachelorette might be wearing. They have it in pink, too, if you think it’s a little boring and want something more colorful. I’m always partial to items of clothing that designate the bachelorette, because it’s her party, and everyone should know that! Plus, if the bachelorette makes it obvious that that’s who she is, she might even get a free drink or two - I’ve seen it happen at several parties I’ve planned before! Of course, if your bride prefers a little anonymity (which has it’s own advantages, I suppose), there’s this one:
It’s just a simple silver tiara that doesn’t say “bachelorette” or anything like that. Not only would this be good for a bachelorette who doesn’t want people to know who she is, but you could have bridesmaids (or at least the maid of honor) wear these too, if you want your entire party to match! Personally, though, I think the bachelorette should stand out a little bit, even if she doesn’t want the word written on her tiara. So I think this one looks really fun:
It’s a tiara with a big gem heart in the center and it looks much more colorful and flashy than the other ones. What I don’t understand is why it’s so much cheaper. It might not be made of the highest quality materials. So, maybe this would be one for the bridesmaids, since it’s more affordable, and you could get the one that says “Bachelorette” for the bachelorette? That’s probably what I’d do if these were my selection, but I’m just throwing out ideas here. You can (and should!) go with whichever tiaras you like best, or better yet, that you think your bachelorette will like best! And of course, if you want tiaras with penises on them, I’ll be posting about those next time!

Carly

Tip #31: Veils part 2
Okay, now we’re back onto veils! Sorry about that little detour last week, but I hope at least some of you appreciated that website as much as I did. Then again, I used to want to make sure every small detail of my friends’ bachelorette parties was perfect, so even small things like the straws were important to me - but that might not be the case with everyone. I’m sure everyone does at least consider getting a veil, though, so without further ado let’s get back to those!
This, I think, is the basic, typical penis veil. The penises are noticeable, but not too extremely extravagant. It looks like a pretty solid choice if you know you want to get your bachelorette a veil with penises on it and you know she’s okay with that. If she isn’t too okay with it but you want to anyways, just to poke a little fun at her, I found this one that might be a better option:
This veil is decorated all throughout with tiny shiny penises. I can barely see them in the picture, so you probably can’t tell what they are from far away - but I bet you can from up close! So this is probably good if you want to embarass your girlfriend a little bit but not too much. You don’t want her to refuse to wear it, after all! I like that there’s something like this available. There’s such a wide variety of things with penises on them for bachelorette parties! Of course, this is probably at the opposite end of the spectrum:
It’s a flashing penis veil. This one will definitely attract attention. So I’d recommend getting this only if your bachelorette is completely shameless and wants to flaunt her... well, her penises! I like to think I would have had the courage to wear this at my bachelorette party, but I am only saying that with the safety of hindsight... I don’t think I know many girls who would dare wear this flashy thing out in public. But maybe some of you do. Are any of you reading this and thinking you might get that last veil for your bachelorette? You should post pictures of her wearing it after the party, I would love to see proof of a girl actually wearing this thing! I think that’s it for veils. I’ll move on to other types of headwear next, unless I come across something cool or funny but sort of unrelated like that penis straws website again!

Carly

Tip #30: Penis Straws
Okay, okay, you don’t have to say it. I know that I’m supposed to be talking about veils right now, but I hope none of you will mind terribly if I take a little detour from my planned route. I think you can wait another week for those penis veils! I just came across this website earlier today and I wanted to post about it before I forgot about it, and I know I would have if I had waited. So what website is so important that I couldn’t wait or risk forgetting about it? www.penisdrinkingstraws.com.
Just think about that. It’s an entire website dedicated to penis-shaped drinking straws. An entire website. Isn’t that crazy? Well, when I stumbled across it I knew I just had to check it out and see if it was for real (it is!) and then I thought it would make a great blog post. So that’s why I’m posting about it now instead of more veils. I don’t really know what I wanted to post about it - maybe just how crazy it is that there’s an entire site. But it does bring up a good point, that penis-shaped straws are an excellent addition to a bachelorette party. They might not be vital, but if you’re going to be drinking (especially if you’re drinking some of those bachelorette party-themed drinks I posted about a long time ago) then I can’t think of anything better to drink with! And this website shows a great selection of straws, and even groups them into categories: flesh color, multi color, giant, and glow-in-the-dark. (It even has some penis-shaped waterbottles, too.) I had never seen any glow-in-the-dark penis straws before, so I checked that out - here’s a picture from that section of the website.
Isn’t that awesome? It’s amazing what we can do with modern penis-straw technology! By the way, here’s the place on the website where you can find the glow-in-the-dark straws if you think they’re as cool as I do! I think those were my favorite straws on the entire site. And I still can’t believe that there is an entire site all about penis straws!
Sorry again to everybody who was expecting some penis veils today - I promise I’ll post about them next week!
Sincerely,
Carly

Tip #29: Veils part 1
Okay, as promised, we’re moving away from shirts and tank tops now, onto what I think is the second most important piece of clothing you can get for your bachelorette party: things for the bachelorette to wear on her head! There are two main types of bachelorette party “headgear,” if you will - veils and tiaras. I’m going to start with veils because those are my favorite. I think they’re just more consistent with the theme, since they’re a symbol of marriage. But it’s personal preference. If you know you want a tiara, feel free to skip reading the blog for the next two weeks or so, because I’m going to have a couple posts about veils first.
I think I’ll start off with the veils that can be most widely appreciated, that would work for any bachelorette party: the ones without penises. As with everything else, there are tons of veils with penis designs, but I was surprised to find out that there’s actually quite a few without them, too. So without further ado, here are my favorite penis-free veils that I found.
This one’s just a simple, plain white veil. And there’s nothing wrong with keeping it simple! It gets the message across better than some of the more complicated ones. No one at the bar’s going to be confused looking at this, they’ll know it’s a veil, and they’ll know the girl wearing it is the bachelorette. Not that that will stop them from hitting on her anyways!
This one is another simple, plain veil, but it’s pink. Not quite as traditional as the white one, but if it’s the bachelorette’s favorite color or it matches the rest of her outfit or something, this looks like a good safe bet too.
But I think this devil veil is my favorite of the ones I’ve looked at so far. It’s not plain, it’s got an attitude. Looks like a great option for the bachelorette who’s, well, a little bit of a devil! Or even if she’s not, it’s fun, and it would be sure to draw plenty of attention!
Okay, those are all the penis-free veils I could find. If I find more I’ll let you know, but otherwise next time we’ll move on to all the veils with penises in them. And some of them look so fun... I can’t wait!
See you next time,
Carly

Tip #28: Other Shirts
Okay, okay, this is the last post about shirts, I promise! But a thought occurred to me when I was looking at the shirt section of the website after I posted last time. Personally, I think you should get matching shirts for everyone in the party, so people at the bar or restaurant or wherever you go can identify all of you, but I know that some people might just want to get a shirt for the bride-to-be, which is totally understandable. Especially in this economy! Of course, you could just buy the “bachelorette” shirt from one of those sets, but I found a couple of stand-alone tank tops that might be funnier if you’re just getting one for the bride. So here they are:
This one issues fair warning to everyone you come across to expect all the chaos that will ensue when your bachelorette steps in the door. I’ve always thought that whole idea was pretty funny. I guess this top doesn’t have to be specific to the bride, so you could just have everyone wear one of these if you want everyone to match exactly. But if you just want a shirt for the bride, this would work pretty well, I think.
This one just says “Bridezilla” on it. That’s always a fun way to poke fun at a bachelorette who everyone knows can be a little bit of a... well, a bridezilla! This could be a fun top for the entire party and everyone else if you know the bride will take it in good humor and wear this top with pride.
Last but not least, this one is my absolute favorite shirt/tank top of all time. I just think it’s so funny and clever! It’s a play on the fact that this kind of top is called a “wife beater.” I’ve never understood why that is. Anyways, this top is just too funny. And the best part is, it’s not bachelorette party-specific - unlike most of those other shirts, the bride will probably get more use out of it after the night of the party than on the night of! And I guarantee everyone will laugh at this. I wish someone had thought of this back when I could have gotten it for someone’s bachelorette party. Or better yet, back when I was having mine!
Alright, well, I think I’ve said more than enough about shirts and tank tops now. I promise I’ll move onto something else next time!
See you next time,
Carly

Tip #27: More Shirts
Before I get off the topic of shirts, I just wanted to provide some more options for those of you who didn’t like the design I posted last time. Plus, they were technically tank tops last time, and I thought if I’m talking about matching shirts, maybe I should provide some examples of actual shirts. So here’s another design that I remember getting for a friend’s bachelorette party a while ago. I just found it on that website - I think it’s a new product for their store, but it’s one I’m already familiar with. Take a look:
Again, there’s designs for the bride, the maid of honor, and the bridesmaids, so it’s very convenient. I think there’s a “matron of honor” design on the site too, but I never had to use that. The tank tops I posted last time were my favorite design I’ve ever gotten, but out of actual shirts these ones are probably the best I’ve seen. The pink floral design is fun and spunky and it really stood out when we were at the bar, if I can recall correctly - it’s been a while! Also, in case you didn’t notice, these links are to medium shirts, but if you scroll down on these pages you can find the same shirts in small and large sizes, too. I think that’s all for shirts and tank tops for now, so I’ll move onto some other item of clothing for next time - unless some other shirt design catches my eye, of course!
See you next time,
Carly
