Bachelorette Party

Two of my good friends from my softball team are getting married so we threw them a surprise bachelorette party this past Saturday night. If anyone out there has ever thrown one of these bashes, they know that the commercially made stuff for these parties is ridiculously expensive. Buck-a-suck shirts, made on cruddy looking, ill fitting men's t-shirts can run upwards of 30 bucks. Hokey looking headgear is equally expensive. The above ensembles were made for 7 dollars each, fit the girls beautifully, and were WAY nicer than any of the items on the market.

Cost breakdown:

Pink Longsleeve Shirts on clearance $3.00
Pink baseball caps at Dollar Tree $1.00
1/2 a roll of tulle from Dollar Tree $.50
1/2 a silk floral pick from Joann Fabrics $.50
1/2 a bag of Lifesavers from Dollar Tree $.50
1/2 a roll of white wired ribbon from Dollar Tree $.50
Curly gift ribbon from Dollar Tree $1.00

The veils were assembled using the wire of a floral pick to hold the tulle together, adding a large bow of the white wired ribbon to that, then the hotglue gun attached the curly ribbons to the wires from the picks, then hotglue to the top of the cap. The Lifesavers were attached to the shirts simply by wetting and applying them directly to the shirts. All of the writing was done by moi with a couple of Sharpie markers.
