Sissy's Bridal Shower

So this past Saturday I hosted my little sister's bridal shower.  I, along with the other bridesmaids, organized the party so that all the bridesmaids would be able to attend. 

We had some delicious food and fun games.

We played a total of 5 games:

♥ Who Am I? ♥

You could only ask yes or no questions and you had to try to figure out who was on your card.

♥What is the bride-to-be wearing? ♥

Jess was asked to leave the room and everyone had to write down what the bride was wearing

♥ TP Wedding Dresses ♥

 

    

♥ 'Staches and Tiaras ♥

I asked both Jess and Doug a series of questions in advance.  Then I decided whose answers to use for the game.  I asked the question and then revealed the answer, asking the ladies if Jess, Doug or both said it. They then raised the mustache or the crown or both to their faces/heads to show their answer.  The person with the most correct won a prize =)

  

♥ Pass the Teddy ♥

I told the guests that it was like Hot Potato.  When the music stopped, whoever was holding the box had to unwrap one layer of wrapping paper.  This would continue until getting to the box.  The last time the music stopped, that person had to open the box had to try on the teddy for everyone =) What they didn't know is that it wasn't a teddy in the sense of lingerie -- Jess still thought so when she saw the fuzzy pop out of the box haha

 

She got to keep the bride teddy =)

 

We had a door prize: Jess decided who had the best hat and they received a prize. Hayley was the winner of a happy ECU Snuggie =)

I DIY-ed many aspects of the shower. 

The hats for Hayley (who won), myself, my mom and the bride-to-be. I am going to have to take better pictures of some of them to show them off a little more =)

The 'Staches and Tiaras (with the help of Sissy and Mommy) -- which everyone had an absolute blast playing with!

 

   

The floral topiary

 

The cupcake stand

The favor-cakes -- They had Lindor Truffles and a DIY key chain in it.

  

I believe it was a highly successful party and the bride-to-be was over the moon excited and pleased with everything. I had so much fun hanging out with these wonderful ladies and planning a special party for my beautiful little sister.

   

I will be posting DIY stuff later this week  =) I hope y'all enjoyed the shower pictures and are having a wonderful week so far!

P.S. Sorry about some of the pictures being cell phones pics haha -- I forgot to upload/take some pictures but I really wanted to share =)

Miscellany Monday

I don't know if I am disappointed or relieved its Monday -- how sad is that?! I am just SO exhausted -- I don't have it in me to share much.  SO I am linking up with lowercase letters for some MM.

{1} My sissy's bridal shower was a huge success!! I am so happy she had such an amazing time and I can't wait to share all the details, pictures and games with you! In the meantime, here are just a few teasers. 

   

{2} We were almost rained out of the bachelorette party -- so we had to improvise and ended up at Howl at the Moon. I was DD so it wasn't over the top fun for me, but I was highly enteretained people watching and seeing my baby sis let loose =) I am so happy I was able to plan it all out for her and make it so that she had an awesome time.  More teasers from that.... 

{3} She made us all shirts to wear while getting ready, so we wore them to breakfast on Sunday morning.

{4} Have I mentioned I am exhausted?!

{5} Most of Sunday I spent in and out of sleep.  I did the good wifey thing and cleaned/did laundry -- which didn't take long. Thank goodness we maintain throughout the week!!

{6} My daddy was in Reno for the National Bowling Tournament, but J and I did spend Sunday night dinner with his family.  We surprised his dad by taking him to Vito's chophouse. WOW! It was divine! I had a Hawaiian Cosmo and it was fabulous. OH and we all split an Almond Tiramisu which was heavenly! YUM!

{7} We went and looked at houses on Friday afternoon.  I was disappointed in most of them. Seriously -- some people are just SO dirty! OH! AND the first house we stopped at had the tenant THERE. He didn't have a shirt on and kind of gave off a creepy vibe. YUCK! WORD OF ADVICE: If you ever sell your house, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE for the love of all things not creepy -- do NOT be in the house while it is being shown.  AWKWARD!

{8} I am NOT in the mood to do anything today. I told J that we are NOT making plans for this coming weekend. It isn't allowed. I'm just so tired and I am tired of not being able to sleep past 6 because we have had so much going on. AND I am tired of having so much going on...I am ready for a day of relaxation.  Hopefully we get that here this next weekend.

{9} I hope this week goes by quickly and smoothly -- have I mentioned how tired I am?! I need to also get back in a workout routine...maybe I will get back into it tonight??...But then again I am spending tonight celebrating Father's Day with my Daddy since he will be back from Reno in a few hours =)

{10} I hope you had a wonderful weekend and that the coming week is kind to you lol!

What are your random thoughts this Monday Morning?
