J & A Chronicles: Bridal Shower

** Just a note: I WAS going to wait until our anniversary to roll out the wedding recap but I am getting impatient so you will start getting a recap in roughly 4 weeks beginning with the rehearsal =)

My bridal shower was held November 2009 at one of my bridesmaid's homes and co-hosted by all of my bridesmaids and maid-of-honor. Everyone was asked to dress up and bring their favorite side dish or dessert to share.

A bunch of ladies brought pretty presents =)

 

We played some games: Like How Well Do You Know J? They asked him questions and got answers.  Then they asked me the questions about him to see if I knew what his answers would be. When I got them wrong, they made me put on some of his clothes/accessories/shoes haha.  It was fun and in my defense, some of the questions we wouldn't have talked about -- ie: what elementary school did he attend.

     

 

We also played the toilet paper wedding dress game

 

  

 

 

 

Then it was time to open gifts.  I received A LOT of nice things.  One of my favorites was made by my dear friend, Christy. It makes me smile every time I walk by it in our house.

My other favorite was a recipe book -- filled with my guests favorite recipes.  I love it! I knew I had good recipes too!

Gifts not pictured: everyone brought pictures of themselves with me and they all made scrapbook pages! So thoughtful! My girls also bought a nice frame and photo mat that everyone signed.  I have it hanging in the house with the group shot picture in it.

We made my rehearsal dinner bouquet from ribbons and tissue paper off the gifts I received =)
