Did you adore the movie Bridesmaids? Now is your chance to star in a real life version of the hit movie. We just heard from a casting director who is looking for the perfect bridal party to feature in a one-hour major network reality show. Of course the casting director came to The House of Bachelorette for help because he knows that hot, crazy bachelorettes shop here! “We are all fans of the movie and we are trying to do a reality TV version of it,” says Rich, the casting director. “So we want to document the events leading up to the wedding with the bridal party, like shopping for dresses, planning bridal shower or bachelorette party. We want to capture the fun and the stress of all of this and we are looking for a great group of women who want to be part of it”

So here’s what you need to know to apply:

• They’re looking for bridal parties that are the perfect blend of fun, diverse and a little crazy.
• You and your bridesmaids must be made for TV!
• Bridal events must be coming up in May or June
• You must be based in Southern California.

Does this all sound like YOU? Then email bridesmaidscasting@gmail.com for a chance. Even if you’re not eligible for this opportunity tell us– would you ever want a reality TV show made starring your bridal party?

Bridesmaids the movie opens nationwide today, but I had a chance to see a sneak peek of it last week. Let me just tell you– IT WAS HILARIOUS! I cant’ remember the last time I laughed so hard at a movie. Even my husband was laughing so hard he teared up so it’s definitely not just a chick flick. There were scenes in there that every bride or bridesmaid can relate to.

Typically in the movies the role of bridesmaid or maid-of-honor is portrayed very romantically. It’s an easy breezy job, full of parties and pretty dresses. But Bridesmaids tells it more like it really is. There are expensive dresses to buy, crazy wedding party members to deal with and bridal meltdowns to avoid. Of course many of the scenes are over the top (like the flight to Vegas where Annie sees a colonial woman on the wing of the plane or the dress fitting session where everyone becomes raging sick.) But I’m pretty sure you will see at least a glimpse of your own wedding experiences somewhere in the film.

So grab your girls– or even your guy– and head to the theater right away to see this movie. I guarantee you will laugh. And who couldn’t use more laughter in their lives? When you do see it, be sure to come back here and tell me what your favorite scene was! I’d love to compare notes!

Bachelorette party guests deserve a little gift to remember the celebration by. So check out our ideas and let us know if you’ve got a great option for bachelorette party favors.

A big trend in bachelorette parties is to have all of the guests where little black dresses, while the bride wears (of course) a white party dress! If you’re invited to a bachelorette party like this here are five hot options for the perfect little black dress.

This slim fit mini dress features a cool, sheer racerback with a zipper closure. It even comes with a necklace attached so you don’t have to worry about finding accessories.

As more and more women prolong that walk down the aisle, bachelorette party dreams are changing. As brides get older their idea for the perfect way to send off singledom seems to change. They would rather pay a masseuse to rub them down rather than a stripper. And some would like to trade in the penis hats for a princess tiara. Here are some bachelorette party ideas for older brides.

Grown-Up Slumber Party: Invite the girls over for a grown-up slumber party. Make sure there’s plenty of wine and treats to last the night. Pop in a favorite chick flick and giggle the night away like old times. The Wake Me for Cocktails Sleep Mask is a must.

Tea Time: For sophisticated brides, a bachelorette tea time can be lots of fun. Hold it at a fancy hotel like the Ritz Carlton or The Four Seasons. Or set it up in your backyard garden. Require dresses and party hats for a regal feel.

Spa Date: Bachelorette parties are about indulging and what better way to indulge than with a day at the spa. Help make the occassion perfect with the best Bachelorette Party Supplies. The Spa decorations are a great way to set the tone!

Wine Tasting: A wine tasting can be a great alternative to bar hopping. Older bachelorettes may enjoy the sophistication of sampling wine from around the world. These adorable Wine Charms will make sure everyone knows which glass belongs to the bride.

Karaoke: Let the bride sing her little heart out to all of her favorites from the 80s and 90s with a night of karaoke. Make sure to give her her own glitter microphone so she can feel like a rock star for the night.

Pole Dancing Class: Older brides may love learning something new. Take the group to a pole dancing class. Check out our extensive list of pole dancing bachelorette party locations around the country.

Pole dancing bachelorette parties are a great way to celebrate the end of the single life, create memories with your pals and launch into wedded bliss with some new knowledge that may spice up the honeymoon.

Lots of brides are strapping on stilettos for a night of pole dancing instruction rather than the typical bachelorette party at the bar.

Krisha at Seattle-based Pole for the Sole says plenty of girls are apprehensive and nervous when they show up for a pole dancing bachelorette party. But once the class gets going, most women are pleasantly surprised. “Some girls get dragged along to a pole party because the bride wanted to do it. They think they will be clumsy or feel embarrassed or intimidated,” explains Krisha. “After the party they tell me that although they didn’t expect it, they ended up having more fun than they could have imagined and found a sexy side they didn’t even know was there.”

Need a little help finding a pole dancing studio or instructor for your bachelorette party? Here are some to check out.

After a super fast six-week courtship, Khloe Kardashian and Lakers forward Lamar Odom announced they are getting hitched! The engaged couple could be planning a quick wedding since their pre-engagement relationship was so brief. We’ve got some great stuff picked out for Khloe’s impending bachelorette party. First up, a bride to be tank top.

The reason we’re so sure Khloe will love this is because she recently lost 12 pounds by watching what she eats and working out with her sisters, Kim and Kourtney and we know she’ll want to show of her fab new figure. Next, we think Khloe will love to see her Kardashian sisters wearing matching tank tops.

Since the sisters are all so close, both Kim and Kourtney Kardashian will probably share the title of Maid of Honor. Order one for your maid of honor for just $15.99.

Finally, we picked out this fun truth or dare game for Khloe Kardashian’s bachelorette party.

Khloe loves to have fun and withthis game you know she will! Which of the sisters will be the most daring?! Pick up some for your bachelorette party for only $3.99.
