We are in terrible NEED of a Bachelorette-Props Shop in KUALA LUMPUR! Well, if you have one It’s gonna stay long, for sure.
Sash - The ones which are sold in our party shops in Kuala Lumpur are most made out of Plastic; Of course that didn’t work for me. I bought one tho out of eagerness. A FEW steps too early; only to realize later that, it’s not gonna be elegant. Plastics are not iron-able. You do not want the Sash to look furrowed; cause that’s the first thing peepz are gonna notice; and that concludes my grounds. Trust me ;)
So instead; I googled for a fabric printer/embroidery shop. In luck I found one near us in Damansara Jaya – Stitch Planet. My idea was to have the words printed on a separate material, satin of course (it’s traditional) and have it sewn on top of a ready sash after. I was pretty sure it might work. It did!
Send your fabric/s to tailors to do the job ;)
HEAD GEAR – Again, jumping in too soon. Instead of a Traditional crown and veil for the Bride to Be; I bought a Fascinator as an alternative. My initial idea was to dress her up with a ‘simple’ yet elegant head gear Buuuuuuut clearly I was wrong. The OTHER girls in FB looked just as great in the Traditional Crown + Veil. So again, my fickleness set in, I got her THAT. Now, that’s 2 headgears for the Bride-To-Be. So much for wanting to ‘change’ the tradition – I think I might have just moved SIMPLE to a SCREAMING-WOW! Lols .
Girls, don’t go for something different. You WOULD WANT TO STICK WITHIN TRADITION LINES. Trust me.

Name TAGS – Alright the last Hen’s taught me a thing or two, which is the buttons or ‘name’ tags rather. (Google – Buttons. Badges) Buttons are found in almost all parts of the world here in KL. One item which’s a tad difficult to find tho’ are the name tags. Right. I wanted a name tag for each of ‘em – And it didn’t take me long to decide that I should design my own and have em imprinted on Buttons and that would create ‘a-badge-cum-nametag-of-my-own’. Which I did. and the outcome? Wow-ing. I Love it. Most importantly, they loved it.
Laydies, it’s not that difficult really.

MESSAGE FOR THE BRIDE TO BE - I got this idea from the internet. But HOW I DID IT was off the cuff. I wanted ANOTHER sash for the bride-to-be just so we could pin those written messages on it – BUT it might not work because she might look ‘occupied’ and we do not want that. Alternatively, I decided to do a mini wall-of-fame, I wanted the ‘recipes’ framed up. Yea something like that. I didn’t wanna spend too much time thinking if the idea would work, hence I bought the frame immediately. And for the messages, I went to Craft Haven (one Utama) to look for something passable to write our messages on. FOUND IT. The pieces were in forms of kitchen appliances, ie: blender, cup, roller pin, ice cream cones, pot. Etc. Of course, the subject of the activity was changed to Recipes for the Bride To Be.
FAVORS – For favors I got cupcakes from Bisou Bakery cause they’re convenient to fetch and ‘handy’ on my end. I pre-ordered a few mins before; got the attendant to pack the cupcakes individually into a cupcake gift boxes and tie ‘em up with pretty blue ribbons.
NEXT; Earlier in the week I printed a whole A4 of Liana’s Bachelorette insignia, had them cut and was used as tags on the Party Favors. ‘It’ worked marvellously, like predicted. And to top the cake, use simple objects like, a condom, plastic rings, flowers, or mini crowns and slip it thru the ribbon (make sure it stays, otherwise use double-sided tapes) and Walla! Beautiful like planned = )
CERTIFICATE of ‘APLENTY’ - An activity to divert everyone’s attention from BOREDOM and for laughter sake. Lol. The certs were of course from the bottom of my heart; Certificate of Appreciation was given to those who participated and Certificate of Honor, to the Bride-to-be for being such a good spot. And she was.
Laydies, certs are easy to do. ;)
I had other things decorated/planned for the event but those are the small bits am gonna leave out.

So, there it is, my first Bachelorette Luncheon ever. I can’t say there was no pressure involved. But in the end my efforts paid off and the Luncheon was a success =) Here’s to my Bestie.
AND THE EVENT THAT WAS
The Luncheon was held at Vineria BSC, Bangsar. One of the many things i liked about the place is, the color, which suited the Luncheon's theme.
