What is your message you are conveying on your last night out as a single gal? Or a bachelor?

Let your group stand out with a message and color of shirt of your choice!  Strange Cargo is able to provide your wedding party with a way to make a scene and be the center of attention on your bachelorette party!  A small investment in some t-shirts will definitely pay off when you are out. Bars like to have groups who are there to have a good time and will often offer you some free drinks and appetizers to keep you all there and happy!

Of course you can always go with the typical “Game Over” t-shirt for the guys. To personalize it further you can add nicknames or a funny saying that is an inside joke with your group.

What catchy saying or message did you convey on your bachelorette party?

When planning a night out in the city, especially a city as full of excitement as Chicago you need to be prepared! Typical bachelorette rides are usually stretch limos with girls hanging out the open top.  Make a statement with your next bachelorette party by renting a Chicago Trolley and riding it around the town!

Split the cost between the group, bring your choice of drinks on the Trolley and plan for a fabulous night!  You can plan for the Trolley to stop at any destination point while you run into the bars and complete scavenger hunts or grab a quick drink!

Can you imagine three delicious pastry shops under one roof?  In one trip to Sweet Collective you can find chocolate & candies at Rich, designer cakes at The Sugar Syndicate  and gourmet ice cream at Ruth&Phils.

Three women brought together for their love of sweets and designing customized treats for you!

Rich :: chocolates & candies

With their philosophy: while trends may come and go, chocolate should always be sweet.  They are inspired by childhood memories and the city around them, to their own favorite food and drinks! Each delicious delicacy is made by hand with the sole purpose of making someones day a bit sweeter. :)

The Sugar Syndicate :: Specialty Pastries

Modern and classic, playful and sophisticated, The Sugar Syndicate combines sumptuous pastry and hand-crafted decorations to provide you with a uniquely personal creation for your special occasion.

Ruth&Phils :: Gourmet Ice Cream

Ruth & Phils Gourmet Ice Cream is a retail and wholesale store selling ice cream, sorbet and frozen desserts with customized, original flavors. They use fresh, top quality fruits, chocolates, nuts and spices to produce complex, deep flavors. Their ice creams and sorbets are strong on taste, but light on fat and sugar.

My mouth is watering simply writing this post!  If you live in the Chicagoland area I highly recommend checking out this sugary collection of sweets.  Whether you are featuring them at your wedding with a one of a kind cake design, or you are serving up individual unique chocolate candies as favors, your guests will love not only the yummy taste but the scrumptious presentation!

If you haven’t gotten a chance to see Chicago dye the river green for St Patty’s Day it is a trip worth making! I love that this couple is capturing this once a year tradition with their wedding pictures!
