OLT Meg’s SATC-Themed Bridal Shower!

Monday, May 24th, 2010

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!

The event began with a mystery text instructing the bride to go home and look in her closet.  There she found a little black dress, hot pink accessories, and instructions to await her transportation that would arrive at 5:30pm.

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 a gift bag for each character… each filled with character-appropriate lingerie (think conservative and classy for Charlotte; leopard print for Samantha)

Congrats, Meagan!

How are you celebrating Sex and the City week?!
