You guys, I have some of the best friends in the world. In January four of my local bridesmaids (Lemon, Nole, BOC, and Danger) banded together to throw us a seriously amazing engagement party. A
speakeasy has recently opened in Tallahassee and Mr. B and I love to go when we have a free night (and can get a reservation!). Our bridesmaids took this and ran with it.

They set up a special gmail account and google phone number so people could RSVP and receive the password.
By telling you the password, I am going to reveal a very strange fact about myself. The password was "manatee." I am completely terrified of manatees. Yes, I am aware of how irrational this fear is but it is something I have been battling for quite a few years now. I think it stems from the fact that we didn't have them where I grew up and when I started doing triathlons I would practice my open water swimming in a river that is full of them. The thought of running into one while swimming seriously strikes fear in me. Yes, I am crazy. Moving on...

They decorated every corner of Lemon's house and it looked amazing.
They even set up a faux-to booth, complete with props and "Flapper Flair" for your hair!
The food and drinks were amazing as well. They had our favorites - bruschetta, dips, and cupcakes.
In addition to beer and wine, there was also a signature drink, "The Bee's Knees."
It is one thing to have a theme party where the food and drink match the style. It takes it to a whole different level when the people get into it, too!

One of our friends gave us these fabulous Mr. & Mrs. glasses, complete with a mustache and lipstick kiss. And yes, I do drink champagne out of my glass on a regular basis - wouldn't you?

We loved having most of the important people in our lives together for the evening. It was a great opportunity for everyone to meet and enjoy good food and drinks. Of course as the night came to an end we did what we always end up doing - epic dance party!

I know everyone thinks they have the best bridesmaids but as you can see, mine really are the best! I am so grateful to have such wonderful friends and I can't wait to celebrate with everyone in October. Did you have a themed engagement party? Or an engagement party at all?
In case you are wondering, the dress I am wearing is Badgley Mischka "Sparkle in the Sky" from Rent the Runway.)
