Pretty In Pink

Last weekend my mom and sister co-hosted a bridal shower for one of my sister's longest and dearest friends. They have been friends for years and years. When it came to selecting a theme for the shower it was a no brainer...PINK. It's the bride's favorite color, as well as the color scheme for the wedding.

They rented linens from Choice Linens. When they heard about the theme, the owner quickly went into the back and brought out a new linen that was perfect for this event. It was a crinkled silk linen in bubblegum pink! It found it's place at the party as the foundation of the buffet table.

Tulips in various shades of pink stood with graceful elegance in silver vases. Flowered tea cups gathered over four generations were stacked. Candles were lit. The stage was set.

As the guests arrived, they were served a glass of pink punch from a silver tray.

Games were enjoyed, old friends reacquainted, and delicious food was devoured.

The favorite game was writing a love poem for the bride and groom. Each person was given a lovey-dovey word like "cuddle". They were also given a not so romantic word like "garden gloves". Each guest was then asked to write a poem incorporating both words. Some were funny, some were heart felt, some were off the wall, and all were incredibly creative!

As the party wound down, guests were encouraged to fill a clear cellophane at the candy bar which was filled with pink and white sweet treats.

Oh what a fun afternoon we all had! Congratulations Katie and Mikey, we wish you all the best!
