I am still remembering the great time me and my ladies had at the bridal shower. They all competed for the best designed TP Bridal Gown. I was the judge and MOH was the moderator and timekeeper.
I didn’t realize the ladies would get so serious about the game. The competition was tough and it obviously made my decision more challenging.

Yesterday was my bridal shower and I had fun from start to finish. My Matron of Honor along with my bridesmaids and mother-in-law, did an outstanding job organizing the shower. They went for one theme and that was the wedding dress. I’ve been dreaming and telling everyone about my journey of finding the ONE dress for me and this bridal shower was a great way to celebrate.
The following images are the fantastic ideas that my bridal party used to portray the theme.

My first bridal shower was back in April. There was an 11×14 mat and pen placed on one of the tables for all of the guest to sign and write a little message. I love it. I filled it with my favorite photo from the shower – one of my daughter and I and found a lime green frame for it. Here it is – it hangs on the wall now in our office and is a great memory of a lovely shower.
Has anyone else used on of these for the showers or receptions?
My maid of honor, along with my bridesmaids and future mother-in-law have been organizing my bridal shower. I recently receiving my bridal shower invite and I thought it was lovely.
MOH tried really hard in finding a card that matched our wedding colors. This invitation is just perfect. She did a lot of research and got it all made through the Internet. The company that made these is called InvitationBox.com I thought this was quite amazing.

My bridal shower was this past weekend and it was wonderful. There were so many little details that made it great. My colors of pink and lime green were also tied into the event. My mother and sister hosted my shower at a local Mexican restaurant. We had lots of chips and salsa and guests had their choice of 5 different Mexican dishes such as chicken taco salads with jalapeno dressing or cheese enchiladas with rice and beans. Dessert was assorted Cheesecake Factory cheesecake.
It started with these beautiful invitations from Wedding Paper Divas.

So, I’ve got to tell you about the cutest bridal shower gift idea from all the attendees to the bride. I used this idea a year ago for my future sister-in-law’s shower and I think it went over very well. Basically, I collected favorite recipes from each woman invited to the bridal shower and along with the recipe, I asked them to include a picture of themselves. Then, I compiled all the recipes submitted with the help of Tastebook, which basically is a tool that allows users to create their own, personalized recipe book & have it printed. Here is what her particular cookbook looked like, but there are tons of different themes available as well for you to check out at Tastebook.com

This is such a cute idea! I’ve never been to a shower where there was a guest book. A recipe book? Yes. But not a fun, interactive guest book. As I plan a wedding but prepare for a marriage, one of the things we always ask other couples is, “How do you do it?” “What makes it work?” I love getting advice from other couples, whether it is how to stay together, how to resolve a conflict or how to give each other the space that we need, it is all important.

This book is a great way to remember who your guests were, have a memento from them long after the day and a reminder of where you’ve been and how to get where you are going! The website walks you through the design:

As much I have been in full swing planning my wedding, my mom has been equally busy planning my bridal showers. Back in May I had my garden themed ’family’ shower at my Grandmother’s house. This time around it was my ‘friends’ shower, and my mom went all out with a beautiful Parisian theme.
My Parisian Shower
Back in grade 10, my high school offered a trip to the art students to go to Paris. My mom and I excitedly signed up and I have been in love with Paris ever since. Once I returned home my Paris collection began to grow – from pictures, postcards, and mini Eiffel Tower figurines, to the 5 foot Eiffel Tower I painted on my wall in my old house, it was clear I was slightly obsessed (I like to call it ‘in love’). So it was only natural for my mom to incorporate this into my shower theme. She barely had to go shopping for decor because it was all in my room!

I’ll be honest, I really did not want a bridal shower. I’m so not comfortable with being the center of attention. All that attention on the wedding day itself is more than enough for me. I told my matron of honor that I did not want a shower, and she has respected my wishes. However, my cousin very much wanted to throw a shower for family and family-friends. I couldn’t say no.
