Cads About Matrimony: a game for the snark-loving bachelorette party
Last year, I was put in charge of games for my dear friend Nicky’s bachelorette party.

A girls’ guide to throwing a “surprise musical roast” bachelor party
When you’re a girl and your best friend is a guy, and that guy gets engaged, it just may fall on you to throw the bachelor party. That’s where I found myself a couple months ago.

Shreyas objected, saying mehendi was a “girl thing” and didn’t want to do it. We compromised by having a manly activity too, and thus the Henna & Halo party was born.
Throw this low-cost, super-fun, beer-lorette party
When I talked to my Maid of Honor about my bachelorette party, all I asked was to try to keep the cost down — as people would be traveling and not everybody has a ton of money — and that I could wear jeans. My Maid of Honor and other local bridesmaid absolutely rocked my bachelorette, or beer-lorette, as it was called.
