a pride and prejudice affair
How to throw the classiest Pride and Prejudice theme party
First of all, find yourself a bestie who’s favorite flick is Pride and Prejudice. Even if you’re not a fan of the story, the cinematography of that movie is impeccable and it is, undeniably, very visually stunning. We recycled all the wine bottles to use as candle holders, and it was honestly, the best sacrifice I’ve ever had to do.
It’s all in the details! We thrifted a mirror, spray painted it gold, and wrote our welcome sign on it with a white sharpie, with a quote that applied to a long distance relationship such as this one. (Don’t panic, the writing can be removed with acetone) We filled our empty wine bottles with some water to give them some extra weight, and added some greenery from our garden inside. We then added a long taper candle on top for that 1800’s vibe. I had some extra wooden boards from a previous project that I drew on with a blue pen, scenes from the Pride and Prejudice book and covered in resin. We then washed those very well, and served finger foods on them. We bought disposable fancy plates and cutlery, and even disposable flutes. All our guests brought their favorite bottle of wine for everyone to try, so there was plenty of wine to go around. The photo booth was made from a $10 wooden slate from Home depot, spray painted white, and some wooden trim from Amazon, spray painted gold. Super simple, but the finishing look was theme worthy. The picture frame was thrifted and a piece of art was photoshopped to contain the bride and the groom’s face. They loved this detail by the way.
All the guests arrived 30 minutes before our Bride did, and we even had some guests on zoom. We showed her around the whole house and she was pleased with our set up.
We had games for our guests to play and prizes to go along with them that encouraged our guests to get to know one another. But first, we eat!
After we were all satisfied from eating, the game playing begun. We had 5 games in total, each with a prize. The famous “He said She said” game had a fun twist. We recorded the bride and groom saying their answers and played the videos for the guests to view. This helped a lot with the guests we had through zoom.
After dinner, it was time for something spicy! The Bride showed off her spicy and not so spicy gifts to all her guests.
Afterwards, it was time to take photos in the booth!
It was a white chocolate rasberry cheese cake! Despite of it’s presentation, it was delish!
And that’s how you throw a Pride and Prejudice theme bachelorette party! Thanks for reading! Hope you guys enjoyed it.
