Selecting the right gift for a bachelorette can be tricky…especially if she’s getting married for the third time! While I doubt I’d be brave enough to try again after two divorces, my cousin is, and I want to share in her excitement. (A lot of folks are being very negative. That’s understandable, but I don’t judge!) Since I offered to plan the party, it was up to me to create something special, something different than she had done before.

When I asked for her input, her requests included bride-to-be gear, a night out, and champagne (sounds pretty reasonable, right?). I started by visiting a local party store, thinking it would be easy to pick everything up there. Not so! A lot of the bridal stuff looked cheap and junky, but the prices were outrageous. What I needed was a kit that had everything included.

While the store didn’t offer such a thing, I was pretty sure I could find one online. The Something Blue box from Novel Erotics was exactly what I had in mind.

The kit is packed into a hollow book. It features a one page story and these awesome party favors: 

• Pink bridal sash
• Tiara
• Veil
• “Dare to do It” activity cards
• Collar/bowtie/cuffs set for the groom-to-be

The plot of Something Blue features a group of friends who go to see a male dancer show. While the story is a bit racy, it’s by no means filthy and anyone who likes the Chippendales wouldn’t be offended. Obviously, it’s just for grown ups, though.

Knowing my cousin so well, I wasn’t worried about her reaction. As expected, she loved it! I told her to wear a plain black dress and the accessories from the box matched perfectly. She wore her hair down with the veil/tiara pinned securely on top. (Like any tiara, it was a bit heavy, especially as the hours wore on, but not unbearable.)

Because I am a firm believer in responsible drinking, we had a designated driver. My wonderful hubby waited for us as we went to dinner and then to a wine bar. He sat in the car throughout, playing video games on his phone, and never complained. Such a sweetheart!

As we enjoyed a few drinks, we took turns reading from the “dare” cards. Between the bride-to-be accessories and our hysterical laughter, lots of attention was directed our way. I’ll admit we did get a bit goofy, but nobody was sloppy or dangerous, and it was all in good fun!

Something Blue is definitely the perfect gift for the bride-to-be that’s adventurous. If you’re getting married soon—or know someone who is—you’ll want to enter this giveaway. It could be yours for free!
