party planning — Blog — Clothes + Choreo

No one knows my wants and needs better than I do, so I decided to plan my own bachelorette party and just delegate tasks to my bridesmaids. All I wanted was two simple things: a dance class and a tea party.

With Adobe InDesign, I created these little itinerary cards to map out the day. If you don’t have this software, Canva and Figma are free alternatives! I handed them to my bridesmaids with short sets that I bought for the dance class. At first, I tried looking for wedding themed swag, but realized that basic solids were a safer choice. I just thought these tees and shorts were more practical and versatile than anything with bachelorette slogans.

I love dancing, but I rarely get to take dance classes with my friends, so I booked a private hip hop class at Rae Studios in San Francisco. It was so fun getting to share my favorite activity with my favorite people. I was also mesmerized by how airy, bright, and well decorated the studio was. It was a place that I was simply happy to be in.

After the dance class, we had brunch at Lapisara Eatery, which is just a five-minute walk away. They have so many yummy dishes to choose from that are beautifully plated. What I was most excited for was their assorted iced lattes that come with the cutest bear-shaped ice. Some of the flavors were ube, lavender, and salted caramel macchiato, just to name a few.

We all went home to get freshened up, and then I had the girls over for afternoon tea. I’ve never had a tea party before, so I had to make it happen! All of the tableware are things that I’ve collected from Poshmark, Home Goods, and other random shops. For the decor, my Maid of Honor bought me a tassel garland and “SHE FOUND HER MAIN SQUEEZE” banner from Etsy. Since I couldn’t find another bachelorette banner that I was envisioning, I just used the one from my MoH as a stencil to DIY a “BACHELORETTE PARTEA” one.
