UGH! so i wanna have a super cool stagette for my best friend whose wedding is in July...so we have to have it soon, but i'm getting ZERO help from the wedding party!

it's going to be at my apartment, and we'll just have a fun girl's night in...

here's the plan so far:

Paris theme:
-decorations-eiffel tower candle and tealights around the room, silver, white and black for everything else
-drinks-champagne, french wines, girly cocktails
-hors d'oeuvres...french food, obviously...cheese etc...

i was also thinking of asking everyone to bring a romance-themed gift like for their honeymoon or something...they're going to london and paris...like lingerie or something small like chocolates or candles, that kind of thing...

the part where i'm stuck is what do we do? i think she'd like it best if we just stayed in, maybe we could go out afterwards but that's nothing that needs to be decided in advance...but it'll be in the evening, and i just need ideas for games etc...because it won't be any fun to just bum around my apartment...woohoo...

PLEASE help me out ladies! i'm not really getting help from anywhere, even the other girls in the wedding party aren't offering up any help...it sucks! and i've never planned a party before either so i'm stuck!

thanks so much

How about some fun word games, like write down a whole bunch of french sayings, then everyone has to guess what they are in English, and the closer the person gets to the real thing wins! After a few glasses of wine this game could get fun!!

There are lots of movies that have to do with paris and london.  You could come up with a game where you have to guess the title of these movies or the actors.

you could have extreme close ups or distorted pics of various parts of famous landmarks and have people guess them. 

you could have everyone bring something that they feel represents the counties that they are going to... of course you would need a list so that not everyone brings a baguette, or english muffins...lol
