Transportation

Ladies (Houston),

What are the travel arrangements? Donna and I will be leaving Highlands Texas no later that 6:30 A.M.. If you guys are going to follow me, then I need you in my driveway at 6:25 A.M. We will probably stop in Beaumont for a quick breakfast. My hope is to be in N.O. by 12:00. It's my understanding that Lauren plans on getting the party started the minute she gets on the plane, so we need to get there quick so we don't miss any of the FUN!!!

Around the corner!!

OMG - we only have 15 days and 20 hrs until we will all be arriving in NOLA! Can you believe it? We are going to have a blast!!! The packages are almost ready and my craft projects are coming to an end so that means we are about ready to go. We are going to purchase her Lingerie next weekend so I can't wait to pick out something "horrible" hahaha. Vanessa came up with a great idea to do a scavenger hunt with her gifts for the party and I think it is a great idea and goes right along with the party atmosphere. We are going to get the gifts from everyone on Saturday and hide them in usual places then give Lauren some clues to make her find her presents before she can open them..........................now since this isn't happening until Sat. night I am sure that none of us will have had any drinks during the day to delay our judgement so it should be a quick game..............right?? Well, maybe none of you will have had any but I plan on filling up on Hurricanes while I am in the capital way before this goes down! Let me know your ideas!! If anyone has something fun to add, please let me know.............I am all open to suggestions on how to make this weekend even more memorable!

T-shirt and Contact Info Needed

Good Afternoon Ladies,
Please review the sizing chart for the t-shirts I e-mailed out earlier today and let me know what size you would need ASAP!! The shirts are considered “unisex” but it appears that the sizing is labeled for men – FYI. The other option for shirts were the Junior Fitted women’s T’s and they weren’t very long and might not fit everyone with over size C boobs…  so we are going this route.

On another note, I will be sending out your info packets in the next couple weeks and I would love to include everyone’s contact info. Having a cell phone number for each person might prove to be useful while in NOLA or even on the trip there.

As always, you can contact me anytime with questions or ideas (817-714-9759).
Thanks so much!!

P.S. For those of you that haven’t gotten your velour suits to Prissy along with $$ yet and you would still like to do so, please get it to her by the 19th. She will be coming up here that weekend and we are going to try and make an appt. to get them all done at that time. Generally the large bling on the back is about $10 and the small one in the front runs from $5-$7. You can choose not to have anything put on it as well, it is up to you.

- Paige

Welcome

Good Morning Ladies,
Welcome to Lauren's Bachelorette Weekend Blog!! This has been set up to provide you all the needed info about our upcoming trip to NOLA in honor of Lauren's Final Fling! I will be posting all information on here and sending updates through the site (so make sure to sign up as a follower).
Several links have already been included on the right side, including the house, places we will be going and a survey. I will put some information in regards to the lingerie shower up here after Christmas as well as copies of everything that will be sent out in your packets (just incase you misplace it). You can use the link on the right side to send me e-mails or contact me directly if you have any questions.
I am looking forward to a crazy weekened with everyone...............it is around the corner.

Paige

HUSH!!!!

Oh - I also wanted to make sure everyone was aware that Lauren DOES NOT know about this blog and we don't want her to have access since it will have all the info on it and it might ruin the surprise for her....:)!! Thanks!!
