Bachelorette Beach Weekend

I recently returned from my sister-in-law's bachelorette weekend down in Florida. We had a blast doing all things "girl" and of course soaking up that southern sun. We decorated the condo with really cute items and I just have to share the paper banner I made (even though I don't have the best pictures). I used pinks, purples, and blues for color as well as zebra print and glitter card stock, then tied each letter together with pink, curly ribbon. I love making banners even though I do not sell them directly on my Etsy site. I would love to do a custom order though, so feel free to contact me for more information!

I ordered the perfect beach cups from Julie, a seller on Etsy. Her shop Personal Gift Boutique carries everything from cups to candles and we all know I love anything that can be personalized. I bought plastic tumblers (BPA free too!) with lids and straws, perfect for sipping "flirtinis" on the beach. Each cup was personalized in a different color vinyl lettering with the name of one of the bridesmaids and then decorated with pink and white polka dots. Here is a picture of a few of the cups. I think my favorite part might even be the polka dot ribbon she ties on top of each cup! The girls loved the cups and all wanted to keep the ribbons on while they enjoyed their drinks!

My sweet cousin makes these delicious cookies with her business, swEEt thang cookies and more.  She is based out of Alabama and creates custom sugar cookies for all kinds of events...birthdays, business lunches, sports teams, and of course, bachelorette parties! She made these little beach balls for all of the girls and then one for the bride with a wedding dress and beach ball. Check out her Facebook page for more information.

Wasn't everything just so cute! And if you are curious, I'll end this post with the recipe for Flirtinis:

Ingredients - Vodka, Champagne, Orange Juice, Pineapple Juice, Sliced fruit (oranges and limes work the best because they float when you cut them in circle slices). We adjusted the amounts below to taste, so feel free to mix as you see fit. Enjoy!

1. 1/2 Handle of vodka 
2. 2 bottles of champagne
3. 1 Gallon of plain orange juice
4. 1 Can of Pineapple Juice
