On Location Tours' very own Online Marketing Manager, Meagan, had her own (surprise) Sex and the City event this weekend: her bridal shower!  Her bridesmaids brought a little NYC to York, PA with this fabulous themed event!

At 5:30pm a taxi cab (how New York!) pulled up to take her to the shower destination, where she was met by her father, her future father-in-law, her brother, and her bridesmaids' fathers, who had been serving as valets for the evening. From there, she was welcomed to the SATC-themed bash by her bridesmaids and their accommodating hubbies, who dressed in tuxedo tees and served food and drink at the party. No SATC-related detail was left out:

• Guests' stiletto'ed invite asked them to don the apparel of their favorite SATC character and a "costume contest" was later held, with the bride acting as judge.
• Upon arrival, guests were instructed to select name tags indicating which SATC-character they most identified with: Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda
• Hot pink and black were the colors of the evening
• Flirtinis and cosmopolitans were the signature cocktails of the evening, served in hot pink martini glasses
• Table centerpieces were comprised of black feathers, hot pink hydrangeas, and "diamonds"
• A pink-and-black New York City skyline cake was baked using the Magnolia Bakery recipe and was adorned with a Manolo Blahnik and pearl necklace
• The Sex & the City Movie soundtrack was playing throughout the evening
• Guests received copies of the Sex & the City Movie DVD as prizes for the night's various games
• The bride received a SATC-themed gift from her bridesmaids, which included
