tribute to my girls - adventures of the bride to be: bridal shower
This past Saturday was my bridal shower. I am a very blessed girl to have four friends that wanted to make a special afternoon for me. They took such time and thought into every detail and made an event that was so "me". :)
The tables were covered with purple hydrangeas as the centerpieces, purple nail polish for everyone to take home with them, and even the punch was purple(and delicious). For anyone who knows me, they know that purple is very Erin. As Miranda said, purple is not just a color- it's a way of life. True story! The room looked beautiful!
There was good food to eat! We had yummy chicken salad sandwiches on croissants, bacon wrapped little wienies, veggies, fruit salad in cute little mason jars(went with the theme), and chocolate cupcakes that looked like hydrangeas in the icing. All I can say is YUM-O!
They picked out a few games with me in mind. I had such a good time playing Miranda's version of famous couples. I especially liked the "nerd" category with all the couples I knew! Couples like: Sheldon and Amy, Ron and Hermione, Nathan and Haley, and of course Dexter and Erin! :) They had Dexter help them by answering 30 questions about himself for me to answer. When I got one wrong, I added a piece of bubble gum to my mouth. By the end of the game I had eight pieces of gum chewing around in there. Not too bad for there being 30 questions, and I think I was robbed on at least one question. ;) The door prize was so unique! At every seat there was an envelope that had a little groom inside. Who ever had Dexter won the prize. Every one else just got to see a cute fantasy groom (celebrities). I had such a good time!
It was a wonderful day, and I wanted to take time to recognize and thank my dear friends that were responsible, and have wanted to do this nice thing for me since the moment I told them I was engaged and getting married. I am a lucky girl to have these friends that stay a part of my life no matter how busy life gets! We may not talk every week, but we stay connected and make the effort to be a part of each others lives and I know that they will always be there for me. I can't wait to celebrate my big day and have each of them with me.
Whitney-
As far as maids of honor go, she is the best! She has made everything so wonderful for me so far. She has come to every thing that I have asked her to, gave me advice, and just been a helpful aide during the planning process of the wedding. She cut out the heads of fifty of today's best looking celebrities, and glued them on little tuxes. Dedication! She is still working hard and planning my bachelorette party. She hasn't stopped working for me yet, and has made herself so available to help. She is a very giving friend.
Randi-
Give her a task, and she is on it! She was our shopper for the shower. She could find all kinds of shades of purple nail polish. Thanks to her, everyone had purple options to take home with them. Even though Randi is super busy being a great mother to her three kids (including new baby girl!), she was there to help every step of the way as well.
Richelle-
All of the beautiful decorations were thanks to Richelle. She made all of the centerpieces and the rest of the little bits of beauty that were stuck every where in the room. She took lots of time to make sure everything looked just gorgeous! And she made her chicken salad croissants, which are one of my favorite things she makes.
Miranda-
Every bottle of nail polish had a cute saying attached to them. Mir was the creative mind behind the gifts for every one, as well as the games. She really made the party unique with her cute ideas that were made with me in mind. I really appreciate her thinking of things that I would love.
I just can't say thank you enough to these four ladies! I am having such a good time doing all the traditional wedding things. They made my shower such a fun time, I just can't wait to see what they have in store for me and my other friends at the bachelorette party!
