It was finally time for Melissa's Bachelorette Weekend! It felt like we were making plans forever and then suddenly, it was time for the weekend! I headed to Dallas to get the festivities started!Melissa gave us these cute black and white bags filled with spa goodies. They were adorable! 
Julie put together these adorable welcome baskets that had all kinds of snacks for the weekend!
And waiting in the hotel rooms- Julie put a bouquet of red roses and chilld champagne- the bride's favorites!
We started the weekend off with a cheers to our beautiful, almost-a-Mrs. friend, Melissa.
The weekend had a packed itinerary with lots of Melissa's favorites!
First up was dinner at Fireside Pies. Really good pizza!
Me, Melissa, & Mandy
The next morning, we headed to a local favorite- Breadwinners, for a lovely brunch. Breadwinners seriously has one of the best brunches I've ever had. Everything there is so good!
We played a little game and wrote down some of the things we loved best about Melissa!
me, Julie & Melissa
Melissa's cake got a little damaged. The cake was from the same bakery that made my birthday cake. Are we seeing a trend here??? But I must say, their cakes are so good- I can overlook a little mess up.
The afternoon activity included visiting a Texas winery. I was a little skeptical, but the whole experience was really neat.

We had a great time trying a couple of different wines and snacking on meat, cheese, and olives.
Before we knew it, it was time to get ready for the Panty Party!
As you can imagine, I loved getting ready for this. I heart all-things-girl! The theme was black, white, and pink. I got little favors for everyone and used 3 different b&w wrapping papers and tied pink ribbons on theme. I also made a little recipe card for each girl that gave directions on how to make a Neese-A-Tini (Neese will be Melissa's new last name). [Thanks for your help, Am] And I made little glasses for everyone with stickers and feather boas.
The decorations were hot pink feather boas and a clothesline with white, black and pink panties. I served popcorn in tin buckets with pink, black and white, ribbon.
I think Melissa was surprised . . .
Here's a little sampling of the gifts Melissa received. I don't want post pics of all her goodies- a few should be a surprise. wink wink!
And what bachelorette party is complete without a bachelor in barely-there-leopard-print-speedos . . .
Special thanks to John for his brief appearance! ha ha!
Sweet Melissa- I can't believe you're getting married! The weekend was so fun. I hope you had a good time, but most of all, I hope you know how happy and excited your friends are about you and John! My favorite part of the weekend was getting to your house on Thursday night and staying up late and chatting about reality tv and snacking on sushi. That's just us! I know we will make time for girl weekends and shopping, but I also know it will be a lot harder! You are a dear friend and I'm so glad we had this weekend together!
