My Bridal Shower

OK - Better late than never, right? I'm working a bit backwards here, but wanted to share a few key thoughts and moments from my Bridal Shower - - - back in March :)

My Matron of Honor (we prefer "maid") Robbie, and my bridesmaid Megan, threw a great party! They ran with the wedding theme and bought all polka-dot decor. I loved the balloons, the super-cute dotted napkins, and the amazingly yummy cake!


I am SO thankful to all the guests who came out to help me celebrate this BIG rite of passage... My mom, mother-in-law, aunts, long-time family friends, distant cousins, college friends, work friends, my best friend from high school, many of Tyler's friends whom I've come to love and adore, and so many others - - - WOW. Thank you all... I'm so glad we share such a great memory together.



Robbie had some fun games planned: a quiz about how well our guests knew Tyler and I (we even stumped our own mothers!), a memory touch exercise where guests had 30 seconds to reach in a bag and feel for "wedding night" items... then they had to recall what they felt and write it on paper, and finally a bridal bingo game for gift-opening. All the games were great fun, and at times a bit "revealing" and funny!



Tyler and I got several generous gifts from our wedding registries and other unique and "sexy" things that made me blush! I was overwhelmed at the generosity of my family and friends - Thank You!!!!


Robbie and Megan - a HUGE shout out to you - THANK YOU for creating such a special day for me. You two are truly the best kind of friends (and family ;-))
