My wonderful friend Lauren is expecting a baby boy this June. Today, we had a work shower for her. I was not the only host, but they gave me full control over decor. I decided after I saw a super cute baby shower idea on Bump Smitten, that I would steal their idea and do a book/owl shower. I also decided to do it as cheaply as possible. I used two vases I already owned, spent 3.99 on flowers, bought a very expensive but cute cake for 45.00 and made the rest. I took one 2.00 Best American Plays book I had in my classroom and proceeded to rip it to shreds. I made the cute book flower balls seen above using 0.00 in supplies.

We are probably repressing memories of a horrible bachelorette party. I’m sure there are common themes: a cheap, plastic tiara, blow job shots, and a large inflatable penis. I’ve personally been to parties that started with a nice dinner, but ended with riding a mechanical bull, pulling over the car to puke, and the police. My own went a little wayward.

Here is my best plans for NYC!
You will fly into JFK probably, and have to take a pricey ride into the city. This means going in a tunnel that is underwater. Kinda weird and super scary if you get the kind of driver I get every time- crazy!

While you should most definitely focus on the font of your reception cocktail napkins, it’s imperative to have these conversations with your fiance to make sure that you will be placing your happiness in the hands of a like minded person. I even offer you questions to ask. I suggest you pick a night when your partner is not stressed from work, their sports team is not on tv, and you are not drunk, that would just be you looking for a fight.
