Soo I promised you Bachelorette goodie tutorials in my last post about the Lilly Pulitzer Bridal Shower Decor.
Well then I thought I went through all the work of making printables for the party, why not share them so someone else can benefit from them too! All I ask is that if you blog your party please link back to this post so others can find it.
I created all of these using graphics from my Lilly Pulitzer Graphic Archive (which I just updated with new goodies so check it out).

Lilly Pulitzer Party Invitation

Here’s the Blank Invitation, add your text in your favorite graphics editor, and print as a photo greeting card. It is sized to be printed 8”x5”. We used MPIX to print the ones for the shower, and the paper was thick enough that we didn’t need to ‘beef it up’ with cardstock. (Click on image or here to view the full-size graphic)

Lilly Pulitzer Thank You Card

Then there is a matching Thank You Card. I highly recommend using something from the Archive to create a cute ‘signature’ for the back.  It is sized for a 5.5”x4” Card. (Click on image or here to view the full-size graphic)

Lilly Pulitzer Guestbook Scrapbook

For the Guestbook I went a unique route where I created ‘journaling’ blocks using Lilly graphics for guest to write their messages on, I’m in the process of combining these with the shower photos into a little 8x8 scrapbook for the bride.
You can download the whole PDF of the all the pages, just print on a heavy weight paper, cut apart, and you’ve got versatile Lilly note cards, each one is different. These also made cute note papers for the games so they can be added into the scrapbook too.


Page 11 of the PDF are the graphics for the Tent Labels, just mount on pretty folded cardstock.

This post is partying here. 

As you know Bestie is getting MARRIED in July. The other Maids and I threw a wonderful Shower and Bachelorette party the weekend of Cinco De Mayo in her hometown of Fort Lauderdale. After settling on a Lilly Pulitzer & Derby Day theme since it was held on the same day as the Kentucky Derby.
Like all great events it started with the invitation.
I used some goodies from my Lilly Pulitzer Wallpaper Collection, added some grosgrain, and a julep cup silhouette. I also made matching Thank You cards, which turned out super cute! (You can download these from my Lilly Pulitzer Party Printables Post).


For the favors Brides Maid Hannah found great handled Mason Jars to serve as cups and favors as well. I used some awesome white with gold bamboo contact paper I found at TJ Maxx to cut all the Guest’s initials in the font from the Invitation (CAC Pinafore). This worked out great since we all arrived in Fort Lauderdale about 12 hours before the shower the next day, we were able to quickly add the initials to the jars the morning of. I made special ones for the Bride and one that said Mom, which turned out super cute.

Using the ‘scrap area’ from my other cricut shower projects, I cut out lots of little shift dresses, horseshows, and hats, these worked great as scatters on all the surfaces to tie the party areas together.

Combined with a pink paper straw, a strawberry mojito, and a lime, it was perfectly Lilly!

It also made this awesome photo!

I created food label tents with Lilly ‘clipart’ I created layered on pink and green card stock of course. Extra mason jars wrapped in ribbon were the perfect accent to pink and green paper goods.

Bridesmaid Kelly arranged this cute and very tasty cake!


The final piece of décor was the banner, which made for the perfect ‘gift’ spot. I cut the shifts and horseshoes using the cricut, then I added the Bride & Groom’s initials and a heart in the bamboo contact paper. I attached them to the ribbon using baby clothes pins.

Up next, the Bachelorette and associated Tutorials!

Becca and her fabulous Maids

And of course, I’ll have to leave you with the obligatory toilet paper bride photo!
