I had followed some really great blogs when I was wedding planning and I loved it when they did a recap of their wedding day. So I figured I would do the same...hopefully these posts won't be too sporadic (since I'm starting up school again soon), but be sure that they will include some great stuff!
June 25, 2011--bridal shower day! (also hubby's bachelor party!)
My bridesmaids' mothers (hubby's aunts) hosted the shower at the family church in the social hall. It was a nice big room with lots of space to spread out and be comfy!
 |
| The pretty (and delicious!) cake |
 |
| The tables were all decked out in our wedding colors and were so pretty |
 |
| See how much room we had! |
 |
| They added "baby" pictures of hubby and me to each table...what a nice touch! |
 |
| All the great gifts! |
 |
| Raffle baskets |
 |
| More raffle baskets (there were some good ones!) |
 |
| My (late) arrival! I always have crap in my hands! |
|
|
After eating and some fun games (couples match, 20 questions about Mr. F), we opened gifts. As I opened gifts, the guests played bridal bingo and tried to get as many gifts matched.
 |
| My fabulous Matron of Honor was a big help! |
 |
| And so begins the ribbon bouquet! |
 |
| uh oh, a naughty gift! |
 |
| The title was a tad inappropriate! |
 |
| Somehow, we received 3 of these! |
 |
| Another naughty gift! |
 |
| Of course, I had to model it! |
 |
| Some super soft towels... |
 |
| Our really pretty cake servers... |
 |
| I tried so hard not to break bows (for every broken bow that's one more kid to add to the womb!) |
 |
| A very heartfelt gift from my MOH...with explanations of the personal meaning of each piece...so perfect! |
 |
| My honey showed up (from his party!) with my favorite flowers, daisies! |
 |
| Thanks sweetie! |
 |
| Aren't we just the cutest?! |
 |
| And then we opened the rest. |
|
|
|
The shower was so great and everyone was so generous!
Meanwhile, back at hubby's parents' house...
Mr. F was having fun with all the men in his life playing Minute to Win It games...jumbo beer pong, high jump, rock/paper/scissors; you name it, they played it. Sorry, no pics of that...hubby can't find them!
After the shower, the bridesmaids, me, my mom and a few other friends went out for my bachelorette party!
 |
| I'm the one with the black sash and denim bermudas. | | |
|
|
 |
| My MOH and me (love her!) |
 |
| Me and the girls! |
We had a blast! Lots of dancing and lots of "dares"!
A few days later, hubby and I lugged as many gifts as we could fit in our poor car back to B'more and waited patiently for our wedding day to arrive!
