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!

Sincerely,
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!

Sincerely,
Carly
