Bachelorette party 101

As the M.O.H. (Maid Of Honor) for Yan, it is my duty to organize the bridal shower and most importantly, the bachelorette party. Due to Yan's extremely hectic schedule, both events are combined into one... a little unorthodox, but time is not on our side.

I have been, sending out invititations, getting people to RSVP, making car arrangements - too rush to get a limo :o(, getting party games and naughty favors and shopping for shower gifts!!

Get ready girlfriends... the party is ON tonight!!
