Lauren's Bridal Shower

When I heard I was gaining a little sister I knew I wanted to host a bridal shower for her. I enlisted my two big sister's help and we got to planning. We decided on a bright, multicolored champagne brunch to be held outside at my house. I hit Pinterest for ideas and away the planning went.

We kept the invitations simple. Brown Kraft paper printed with bight colors, postcard style, were sent out to family and the bridal party. We decided to use Kraft paper to top the tables with bright pink table skirts on each table. There was a long table for guests to sit, eat and play games. Down the center of the table were wine glasses and martini glasses flipped upside down with a flower underneath and a brightly colored candle sitting on top and small glass dessert dishes with blue hydrangeas. At each place setting was a water bottle with a custom label. We also had vases of colorful flowers sitting around and bright polka dot balloons!

Upon arrival, guests were asked to sign a champagne bottle. Lauren would get to take the bottle home to enjoy and when she popped the top she would think of everyone at the party. Each guest could also chose a brightly colored ring to wear for the afternoon.

• Party Favors

  As favors, each guests was given a small colorful hand sanitizer from Bath and Bodyworks.

• Activities / Games

  We played a couple games for some entertainment. Chrissy hosted the game 'How well do you know the Bride?' She had a series of questions for everyone to answer and who ever got the most right was the winner. I hosted the veil game. Lauren wasn't wearing a veil on her wedding day so I thought it would be fun to incorporate a veil into her shower. Each girl was given a couple sheets of white tissue paper and a roll of toilet paper and 15 minutes to create a veil. After the 15 minutes were up, each girl had to walk the catwalk one by one for Lauren to judge the veils. Lauren picked a winner and she got to wear the veil for the rest of the afternoon! It was a lot of fun to watch the girls craft the veils and strut their stuff down the runway!

• Budget

  $400

• What People Ate

  Food was a brunch buffet style and all bite size. Fruit skewers, quiches, mini doughnuts and bagels were set out to enjoy. There were polka dot plates and napkins and purple silverware adorned with rhinestones.

• What People Drank

  The main attraction was the mimosa bar. Champagne, 3 flavors of juice and 3 choices of fruits made for fun palette pleasing drinks. Each girl got a champagne glass with their name, a fun colored straw and were let loose to make their drink. I think this was everyone's favorite part of the afternoon.

• Best Moment

  Watching the girl's strut their stuff down the runway to model their handcrafted veils.
