Bridal Party Party / Surprise Man Shower

Last year we had lots of pre-wedding events like our engagement party, wedding shower, & rehearsal dinner.  My all-time favorite was when the entire bridal party and dates all got together and we had a Surprise Man Shower for Matt. 

Matt is the one on the far left, how cute is he?!?

My brother was nice enough to host the party.  We all got Matt fun "manly gifts" like booze, Cubs Tshirts, McDonalds Giftcards, etc.  It was such a fun night.  It was warm enough to sit out on my brother's roof, even though it was October!

It was such an amazing night.  A great way for our bridal party to get to know each other.  So.. we are doing it again!  This time Matt and I are hosting for our friends Matt and Erin who are getting married in August.  We are going to have a party on our roof top in June and I am starting to plan the night. 

I am thinking everything in pink and black (all from Target) with some pink peonies as centerpieces. 

For the ladies, I want to make SkinnyGirl's new White Sangria.  How cute is that glass container from Target instead of a pitcher? 

I will make sure to post pictures after the party!  Do you guys have any fun / unique ideas for pre-wedding parties?
