Cluck Cluck
My hen's party rocked!
The right mix of people and activities meant that I had a fabulous time, and everyone else is saying how good it was also.
We started at my parent's house with a few drinks and nibbles.
I was given a red sash declaring 'Bride to Be', and the bridesmaids and mothers wore appropriate ones also. Not to mention the obligatory silver tiara with veil and fluffy pink sceptre!
Then we piled into a bus which was decorated inside with butterflies and silver and black balloons, where we sipped (and poured on ourselves) pink bubbly.
We enjoyed a delicious dinner at Soy, a Chinese restaurant in Mornington which has such a modern but warm decor. They were even kind enough to position the round tables in such a way that they would accommodate the 15 guests.
We played a game throughout the meal, and the person who knew the most about me won a prize. Interestingly, the person who has probably known me the shortest time, won the game!
Back home in the bus, then more games (of course my mum engineered things so that my future mother-in-law won the fluffy handcuffs), drinkies, and the most generous dessert table I've seen (outside of a buffet!).
My sister handmade me a gorgeous scrap book, which held individually designed pages. Each guest chose their favourite page, and left me a personal note. I cried with joy at the love and effort that went into it. There was even a beautiful picture of Stu and I, which made me all the more soppy! I read it again yesterday, and cried all over again, it's so special.
Lucky me to have such a wonderful mother and sister to organise such a great party.
This all makes me feel confident that the wedding will be enjoyable for everyone, as the guests, who mostly did not know each other, mixed perfectly.
Can't wait - 12 sleeps!

*sigh* So upset that I missed all the fun. I was stuck at home, a snotty little lump on the couch, occasionally glaring at the outfit I'd gone out and bought especially for the occasion too. It sounds so awesome. Keep an eye out in the mail, babes.
