Party Recap...

As the guests arrived they signed in and were given a handmade corsage that they could later take home with them as a favor. We had a light fare of finger foods and cupcakes for desert. Then we played the “How well does the bride know the groom” game and let all the guests guess how many questions Olivia would answer correctly. The winner took home a small flower arrangement. Olivia had no idea that we were going to ask her questions so it was a lot of fun for all of us. I especially enjoyed asking her fiance the questions before the shower. But, I believe the best part of the shower was having the guests give Olivia advice or in our case “Ingredients for a Happy Marriage”. All the messages were so special and I know Olivia will look back at them for years to come.

I co-hosted this beautiful bridal shower for my sister Olivia who is getting married in late August. All the decorations, flowers, and food were done by my co-hostess, Kristian, and me.
