Little did I know what 2020 would bring us all, I had planned my original wedding for June of 2020, but that did not happen happen for obvious reasons. I had a small backyard wedding in August of 2020 with a small group of people, and broadcast it over zoom. We rescheduled our bigger party for July of 2021. A perk to being a covid bide? Getting to have two weddings?

Spa Day Bachelorette!

I was fortunate to have a bachelorette right before the world went into chaos. In February of 2020 I had rented out a spa called Release in Westborough Massachusetts for the afternoon where my friends could all meet up, sit in a hot tub, lay in a salt room,  get massages, sit in the saunas and relax. 

It was such a fun celebration. My Matron of Honor, and best friend Tara made Scott and I some adorable Bride and Groom sashes. Of course mermaid themed, and I am a mermaid. My other Matron of Honor, my sister Carrie, brought champagne and we toasted to many amazing years.

The group of friends that joined me were amazing. I had a mixture of my partners, metamours, poly and monogamous friends, and family. It was inclusive of everyone in my life, and everyone accepted each other for who they were. It really was a magical moment for both Scott and I. I came out of this experience very relaxed!

Mermaid/Princess Bachelorette June 2021

Because it had been so long since I had my bachelorette, and I wanted to make some light out of all of all the alterations we had to make for our wedding, as well as I was going to have my big wedding in the month, I decided that I wanted to have another bachelorette party. This one was going to be a little different. I hosted it at my house, and this also included the important friends, metamours, and children in my life. I had a princess style bachelorette with a hint of mermaids.

The day consisted of Princess movies all day! I had two televisions going during the day playing different movies. This was so that people didn’t necessarily have to watch a movie that they weren’t interested in. So they had a choice between two movies at any given time!

With the help of my good friend Amie, who is just as much of a planner as I am, we turned my house into a magical princess’s world. My dining room/game room was set up with a princess themed tent set up for the kids to have a cozy spot. It was decorated with mermaid pillows and blankets. 

Also in this room we set up a beautiful mermaid themed buffet, complete with beautiful and delicious truffles made by one of my friends! Their company is called Truffles of Love. She started making truffles as a side business and it took off. I was very lucky to be her co teacher at the time and got to taste test a lot of her new truffle experiments. I would highly recommend her for your party chocolate needs!

We also put up an under the sea background so that we could have a place to take photos during the night. As you may have seen in my blog posts, I love pictures, so this was something that was very important to me.

During parties I always find it important to label where certain rooms are. So I place signs on all the doors so people know where to go. I quite enjoyed the sign for the bathroom, or should I say the throne room! It made me giggle a bit. 

In the living room we played more movies, and also set up the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. I had put out nail polish, and manicure materials, as well as all of the items needed for doing facials. I wanted to create something fun for all ages, and something we could do while we relax.

I have always found coloring to be very calming, and I would always color, especially in college, when I needed to destress. The point of today was for everyone to destress and have fun, so I also set up a coloring station for people to be able to color while watching a movie.

What can I say, I am a big kid! I had so much fun with my friends and the kiddos in my life that day. And it ended with a bang! My friend brought over her beautiful malamutes. They were huge, fluffy, and super cuddly! It couldn’t have ended any better. Enjoy more photos from this fun day below!
