AW: Bridal shower

[winelover123]

Just being an AW here :-D Anyways, here is a photo from yesterday (sorry I don't have more - but it does show my outfit!). It was absolutely amazing. My FSIL made the cake, which was awesome, and my mom and sister had a few games planned out. With one, there was a ball of yarn and after everyone introduced themselves they threw the ball to someone else so it created a web. After everyone introduced themselves, I got to follow the web and prove that I knew everyone's name and how they know me. It was quite amusing trying to follow a web of yarn in heels and a dress. Everyone was amazingly generous and we got a lot of really cool off-registry gifts. My family from OOT came down and spent the night, so it was really nice to see them. After the shower, we went back to my house with the intention of swimming, but it ended up being cold and rainy, so we just hung out drinking mojitos and wine :-)

Thank you! FI brought the ears back for me from Disney when he went with work (we're huge Disney fans). She made it - it's a silk hydrangea with ribbons curled in it. I'm going to ask her how she did it because I'm hoping to do something similar with my bouquet!

What was your favorite off registry gift?

Aw, you look awesome! And so does that cake. BTW, DH and I ended up making mojitos last night due to your inspiration, and apparently they were delicious. So, thanks for that!

Love the color of your dress. You look fabulous!

The yarn game sounds like a lot of fun.

Yay! You look adorable!! Too cute with the giant ears. What were your favorite on and off registry gifts? Anything that was a total fail?
That's a really cute game

Aw thanks guys! On registry my favorite items were 2 sets of our dishes. We aren't doing fine china, so we registered for 3 sets (12 place settings) of nice stoneware. I love entertaining and these dishes look so awesome! Off registry another favorite was a stand mixer and a wine/whiskey gift basket. I got quite a few sets of soap and lotions - some are really nice, others are not so the not-nice-soaps were a bit of a fail since I have really sensitive skin.
