I have the best bridesmaids IN THE WORLD!!!

I would like to send a massive thank-you out to my two beautiful bridesmaids, who have gone above & beyond to produce these BEAUTIFUL invitations for my hen's party! Yes they are actually invitations! I have had NO idea as to what my bridesmaids were planning for my hen's party & when these arrived in the mail I was VERY intrigued. Each lovely piece of origami opens out into a beautifully printed invitation. I was SOOOO excited when I received them. I thought the pink, suggestively shaped piece of origami was a rather nice touch, (it also made me laugh because it made me think of that skit at the end of the first Austen Powers movie) - well done girls.

I must admit I was very afraid to open them up for fear that I may not be able to re-create the origami shapes, but I opened them & was actually able to re-fold them (correctly, I think). YAY!

Anyway, in case you haven't noticed from the large number of words in uppercase in this blog, I am really excited about my hen's party. Now I just have to dream up an outfit that fits with the 'A Touch of Japan' theme. Awesome.

The Great Gatsby

A friend of ours is having a great gatsby birthday party soon & I'm very excited to be planning my outfit! Here is a collection of images I'll be using as inspiration.
