Guest Blogger - April for Flirt Boutique Experience

A friend of mine, April, mentioned she was going to host a bachelorette party at Flirt Boutique in St Paul. I said, "Let Radar book it for you." So I did, which was a snap. Working with owner, Jessica Gerard, was an easy exchange of emails and the whole process was professional and fun. Since April and her gal pals wanted to do it up with noshes and champagne, there was a bit of coordinating with Flirt's caterer, Mellissa Deyo. But, once food, timing and final count was determined, the party was set for flirty fun. Here is April's take on the experience:

"I chose Flirt because I wanted to do something other than the expected bar hopping/sex toy bachelorette party. The bride is a unique girl and I wanted the event to fit her fun and spunky personality. Life is crazy busy so I enlisted the help of Radar to coordinate all the details. They did an awesome job of taking care of dates, timeframes, costs, food menu, drinks and all the details of how the party flows that I hadn't even thought of. We were able to bring in 10 people from 7pm to 9pm and had the store to ourselves. She tried on a pile of stuff that was hand picked for her by the guests. We were able to pool over $300 that got her 8 outfits. The food was awesome and the staff at Flirt were super helpful throughout the party. The bride had a great time and went home with pieces that will last her a long time. I hear her fiance' was just as thrilled with her loot."

Thanks April for the insider scoop on your experience and for using Radar! And thanks to Jessica for having a local business that offers this unique experience with high quality products.

I don't have a dog, so I can't write from an owner's perspective. I don't have little kids, so my "Mom" perspective is limited. And, let's face it, I can't be in Mpls, St Paul and Stillwater at the same time or take-in overlapping events. Although I would like to.

So, I welcome you to become a guest blogger and share your favorite local sites and scenes. Together, we can shout even louder about all the local reasons why we live and love the Twin Cities.
