So far, in my 7 months here, I have been to many birthday parties, a baby shower, a bridal shower, and now a bachelorette party. Yes, we can do it all here in Dominica...it's just done a little differently. The bachelorette party was actually a surprise for my friend Kelsey who is getting married at the end of August and was held at our place. We decorated, had some appetizers and wine, and best of all, I think she was truly surprised.
Dominican decor: note cards, a sharpie, duct tape, string, and clothes pins.
The surprise! Kelsey is on the right...does she looked shocked?
I made pizza bites, chocolate coconut blondies, and a lemon cheesecake dip with apples and vanilla wafers. Some of the other girls brought wine, deviled eggs, and caramel popcorn. It was truly a group effort.

Playing some games.
Nicole got the most right for the "Famous TV Couples" game and she won a lovely pair of red undies. We went for the gag gift approach since nothing here is really worth buying.
What was the most Dominican thing at the party? A veil made out of mosquito netting! Kelsey wore it with pride.
What a great night. We wish Kelsey and Jordan nothing but the best. They are such a great couple who have brought smiles to many of the people here in Dominica.
Oh, I loved this post! Isn't it so true. Instead of fabric bunting banners, we have duck tape papers:) I think you guys made it adorable given what you had to work with though! Of course, I would expect nothing less coming from you.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Kelsey!!
