Invitations for a turtle-loving bride-to-be's bachelorette party
Inside: "The shells are coming off!"
This is astoriabout shell-less turtles on bachelorette party invitations, and it begins with soup. I can't write about this bride-to-be's turtle-love (and therefore turtle-themed parties) without mentioning that I once downed an entire bowl of turtle soup. It was served to me at a rehearsal dinner. The turtles used in that soup probably looked similar to the ones drawn for these invitations. Just imagine them standing on a cutting board instead of on a card.
Stefanie is a dear friend of mine, and along with her finance James, she has developed an affinity for pets with cartilaginous protection. She's a real diamond-in-the-rough for pulling off a turtle obsession and a law degree at the same time. On May 16th, 2011 I suggested that their pet turtle, Turnip Greens, have a role in the wedding. Stefanie replied: "I had the same thought about Turnip as ring bearer. James thinks he might hiss at all the guests and run and hide in the darkest corner...I suppose it could be like a wedding ring scavenger hunt."
All this to say, Stefanie is engaged. Stefanie likes turtles. I'm Stefanie's Maid of Honor, and therefore, her bachelorette party planner and invitation-maker. This evening, I lugged out my suitcase of paper scraps and "snapped" to it. Three turtle-themed bachelorette party invitations are signed, sealed, and waiting to be delivered.
