Last Swing Before the Ring was a fun idea for a themed bachelorette party for my daughter Becki. This was a great way to celebrate that bride-to-be that loves baseball. The last swing was a perfect plan for her last hurrah with her friends and family.
The afternoon started as a tailgate party at my house and ended at the ballpark. It turned out to be a beautiful day with lots of fun memories. Here is a peek at how the whole party went down.
Surprise!
It was a surprise party – always the best kind to have! The guests paid for their ball tickets in advance. This helped lock down the rsvp’s for the evening. Plus it allowed us to get the group rate for our tickets.
Tailgating
We all parked our cars next to eachother and lifted the hatches to stage the tailgating part of the afternoon. There were red and white streamers, themed posters, cracker jacks, baseballs, and peanuts everywhere.
We set up a drink station which included a cooler full of Budweiser. The perfect drink for a Cardinal game! Ballpark hotdogs and chips were on the menu. And how about these cute cookies from Brookie Cakes?!
We asked the ladies to wear their red St. Louis Cardinal’s gear. The bachelorette was going to be in white. We got Becki a “Diamonds are a girl’s best friend” t-shirt. The back of the t-shirt said Mrs. Joiner and the number 13 (year she got married). She also wore a St. Louis Cardinal’s veil that you can order here.
What fun is was to show up at a BBQ Tailgate event hosting all of her besties. We opened presents, ate, enjoyed refreshments, and laughed about the silly signs hanging everywhere. Each guest got a themed gift bag with peanuts, bottled water, Cardinal beads, bubblegum, and STL temporary tattoos to sport at the game. The guests all signed a baseball for Becki to keep to remember the amazing day.
Go Cards!
Next, we headed to Busch Stadium for an evening of baseball for her last swing. It was a great time hanging out at the Ballpark watching the hometown team win a game. I am sure she will remember her bachelorette for a long time.
