My baby sister got married last year. My two sisters and I threw her an amazing Bridal Shower. It was set outside on a beautiful sunny day in the country. We are a very simple and budget minded family. We put together a salad lunch buffett. This included a myriad of dressings, grilled chicken, fresh cooked bacon bit, lettuce, hard boiled eggs, veggies, croutons, cheese etc. We also had rolls and fruit salad to accompany.
We should to decorate in yellow and white. As we grew up as children we all had "colors" that would signify what object or belonging was ours. Angela's had always been yellow.
We used a combination of white flowers, lemon and dollar store finds to decorate. We also created tissue paper pom- poms to hang from the tent we had. We all coordinated our gift wrapping in yellow and white so that even the gift station looked like it was part of the decorations.
My mother put together these delicious cupcakes with homemade buttercream frosting. We served lemonade out of an old fashioned decanter into fancy classes with a lemon twist. It was a very simple but elegant occasion.
We played a variety of games including bride & groom trivia, bridal gift bingo and Guess Who. Guess Who was my favorite. We had printed several names of strong females in politics, movies, literature etc. Each woman who attended the party had a name attached to their back. The object of the game was to guesss who you were. This could be done using only yes or no questions. All winners to the games go to pick a hand sanitizer from Bath and Body Works. Each prize was only $1.00. They were practical and pretty!
It was a lovely afternoon.
