Have fun!

I wouldn't do too many games.....When the girls get together & start drinking it seems most are into talking & gossiping more than games!

Although a tropical nail polish station would be fun!
a daquiris station sounds good..they can put as much booze as they want!!

I have this great game.....it is a garage sale scavenger hunt. Each team gets a set amount of $$ (I think we did $10 last time?? and a time limit of 2 hours??) and has to find everything on their list at garage sales without going over the budget. It is really fun and you can get creative...it is fun to see what everyone comes back to the house with as well!

I just looked and I can't find the sheet....but I will look for it and get it to you somehow if I find it

When I lived in California I use to do these all the time with my girl friends. The very first one we each were told just to bring our favorite snack food. I don't remember what we had to drink, but they were all big fans of diet coke back then. We painted out nails, talked and laughed a whole lot.

We did these for several years and they just progressed over time. The last one in California....my going away party with my girls....we made dinner together while tasting wines.

Sometimes we'd have a masseuse come in. Another time we played 21 and losers had to drink shots. There were nights we'd do karaoke. We tried to watch an old movie another time but talked all through it.

The last one I went to we went to (Jan 07) we all went on a cruise with our hubby's to the Mexican Riviera. Ditched the men in Puerto Vallarta, shopped and had bad margarita's over looking the Pacific in a gay bar. We had so much fun.

I just thought of something else. At a bridal shower I went to recently we were asked to bring our regular p.j.'s in a brown paper bag...don't say which one was ours and then we all had to guess who's p.j.'s we thought belonged to who.

As we arrived at the party the hostess would number our bags. Bride-to-be pulled them out of the bag but you as the hostess could do that. Some of the bags were empty and these were mostly older women....we laughed a lot that night.

I so want to have one now. I wish I lived closer. I love Santa Ynez. Use to live in Santa Maria.

Ok now I have to go to bed. I'll be checking on this again in the morning.

That is soooo me! Even though some of this stuff sounds so corny, I need to appreciate every minute with my girlfriends. I think if I had some help I may even be able to host a party
