Barbie Bachelorette: The Plans

I have been hard at work coming up with a fantastic way to have a hip, modern bachelorette party minus the male members. (You know what I'm talking about!) Anyway we decided to do it up Barbie style as I posted a few weeks back. We don't want it to be a kids party but a take on Barbie as a woman. Come on now she had Ken AND G.I. Joe.

So here we go. When you walk into my house you are going to see a red carpet and on the back wall where you would turn to go into the formal living room (a.k.a Barbie's Lounge) the whole wall will be papered in pink with Barbie written up and down it, kind of like this:

This was taken at Barbie's 50th Anniversary party, our backdrop will be Pink with the Barbie in Black. Heidi Klum will not be present. And my "red carpet" is going to actually be red. lol. Purchased the red carpet at Party City for $4.99, and the Pink Paper at the Mighty Dollar for $1 a roll for 40 sq. ft. I bought 4 rolls. I will use my Cricut to cut out the Barbie with the free Barbie font I found online.

Since my living room downstairs is so big I can do different sections. I definitely want to set up the photo in the large walk in closet. There is a software you can purchase for your laptop or computer, it turns your computer into a "Photo booth". It uses a web cam to take the photos and someone will walk into your "booth" press the space bar and voila the program starts to take photos then you can immediately upload them to facebook or print them. (Program is here)

I am going to set up a formal table for dinner, a stripper pole, a Candy bar, Swag Bags! (Come on what red carpet event doesn't come with a Swag Bag?), a custom CD and a night on the town. I am going to create a vanity station where the girls can touch up their makeup. And the one thing I'm kind of proud of us the Adult Swag Bag auction. I am going to create an Adult Swag bag (something for the couple...or a single lady!) that she can purchase tickets to win and all the money of course goes towards making the brides night a success. No Bachelorette should ever have to pay for her own alcohol! And we've also cooked up a little something involving pulling tickets out of a high heel to see what girl buys her the first shot.

Just a tip Charlotte Bachelorettes, if you email a request to Dixie's Tavern here in downtown Charlotte, they will set up a small section for you at the bar and serve you Pink Shots, the section has balloons and all kind of goodies. So there you go!

Here are some Photos to show what exactly is on my mind:

This is Barbie's Suite in Vegas:

Ok, so I don't have that couch or those chairs, but I do have very similar tables and with all the Pink paper I have my walls will look just like that. I am on the search for a chandelier and also some of those wicker chairs in the background.

And I am working hard at getting the high heal center piece right, trust me this is not going to be easy, I'm going to do pink carnations instead of the cabbage roses but I will spray paint the heel silver.

If you know where I can find those big Barbie brushes please let me know! lol

I also found the recipes for the drinks that were given at the Barbie Anniversary party and those will also make an appearance along with my cupcakes. I plan on three different flavors, I'm pretty set on an Oreo inspired Cupcake, I'm toying with a Cosmo Cupcake as well as a Dreamsickle Cupcake. Another contender is also a Smore's cupcake. SO! There you go, that's what's on my mind, let me know what you think!
