In England, Bachelorette parties are called "Hen Parties". A few of Rebecca's friends threw such a fun evening for her 2 days before the wedding. My momma and I went and also Rebecca's mother, grandmother, and aunt. We started off the evening by eating at a very nice Indian Restaurant. Dinner came in like 5 courses and was good, but a little bland like some of the English food over there...it's because they don't use as much salt as us Americans do :) While waiting on our food and drinking our drinks we played a few games. Kelly, one of the bridesmaids, asked my brother about 15 questions and he wrote down the answers. Rebecca had to see how well she knew her "future" husband. She did very well and only missed 1! Questions ranged from fav color, first job, etc. Another game we played was a poem contest. We were split into teams of 3. The team then had 10 minutes to write a poem about the bride and groom. The poems were sweet, funny, and just outrageously funny!!! That is a good game and fun for any shower/party. For dessert we had Rebecca's favorite cake, "Banoffe" Pie. Guess what is in it? Bananas and Toffee. Yum!
The "L" balloons in England mean "learner". Learner drivers have to have that magnet on the car when they are driving, these are for "Learner Wife"!
