I can't wait to see Bridesmaids! I love Kristen Wiig – hilARious~! I wish I saw it in the theaters only to have laughed my butt off earlier seeing as how it is one of the top comedies this year. At least now I can do it in my living room. Oooh, I'm looking forward to the gag reel. That's always my favorite bonus feature! Thank goodness I'll get to check it out a little early… (DVD and Blu-Ray come out on September 20th)
So, I'm working on my party details and inviting friends over to watch it with me on September 17th. I considered hosting a Bachelorette version 2.0 party, but I want to keep it family friendly. We're all married after all and one's about to give birth and well, I'll be sharing the party with you after… So… that means no pasta shaped like male genitalia.
We are just going to have fun. Good, clean(ish), girls night in fun! Of course this is making it harder for me to come up with cutesy themed food. I just keeping thinking of all our favorite grazing foods from parties and gatherings!
So here are some ideas I've been tossing around before I go shopping for supplies:
Games
- A few rounds of Apples to Apples is a good way to get the laughs going
- MASH – A 80s elementary school flashback. Let's see if we ended up in a shack with 9 kids with the kid who ate glue.
Food & Drinks
- Blushing Bride Punch
- Bridesmaids cupcakes
- Taco dip
- Creamy Strawberry Jello
- Salsa Queso Dip
What do you like to have on a girls night in? Are you excited about the DVD and Blu-Ray release of Bridesmaids?

Disclosure: I'll be receiving the DVD in order to facilitate my review and some items to assist with hosting this party. All thoughts, ideas, and opinions are my own. It's totally a fun idea!

Everyone should come dressed to unimpress – can you see the line up at Goodwill to find the ‘best’ bridesmaid dress for your party?
Darcy says
Love it! And my preggo SIL should dress as the bride :P

Fun party ideas! I haven’t seen this movie yet but I’m in the middle of wedding planning so it would probably be extra funny right now. ;)
Marcie W. says
The movie was hilarious even though my mother saw it with my little sister & I. I’d love to watch it again surrounded by good friends and a good cocktail!
Closer to Lucy says

How fun! What a great touch to any girls only night out!
I may have to get a copy and join the party, in a cyber sort of way :)
Amy T. says

That’s a great idea for a GNI. I may have to steal your idea when it comes out on DVD…
Jenn says
Sounds like fun! Have you ever played Quelf? It makes Apples to Apples look tame.
Darcy says
I have not but I will have to check it out!
Angela says
What a fun idea! This is one of those movies that I missed and look forward to catching on DVD!

I actually went to the theater and saw this with some girlfriends, they thought it was too crude. but I thought it was hysterical! lol parts of it was kind of gross though lol
Tamara says
I’m having a Bridesmaids party, too! I love your ideas. I still haven’t decided weather to keep it totally clean or include some naughty stuff too. Either way, I’m super excited to see the movie!
Stefani says
Great ideas! I want to see that movie!
