Backyard Bridal Shower

My mom has a friend Mrs. T.They have been friends since high school! That's over 30 years people! We'll her daughter is getting married in August, someone I have known probably 20 years.....give or take. Mom and I were both so excited for her that we both jumped in feet first to help out! when it was time for her bridal shower, Mrs. T asked that I help by creating some fun games for the shower. I opened up my brain and pulled out the funnest games I could think of from the various other showers I had either attended or given.

We did the "Pass the Basket" game, a general ice breaker game where you read out a series of phrases and pass the basket until the final poem where the person keeps it. My aunt did "Guess the Celebrity Bride" for my shower so I revamped it. Taking a picture of a bride and Photoshopping a celebrities face to it. Guests have to guess the celebrity. The "Love Music" game. Where I took snippets of various songs that had the word 'Love' in the lyrics and guests had to guess the song title and artist for points. We ended the games with "What's in Your Purse?" I read out an item that many women keep in their purse...pen, chapstick, tampon, etc. The first person to pull the item out of their purse got a raffle ticket, most tickets win! All the prizes my mom made. A handbag, a water bottle holder with a strap, and calendar covers for your purse.

We had great food and wonderful desserts provided by the bride-to-be's M.O.H. and bridesmaids. They threw a wonderful shower. Once it was gift opening time we all sat and watched her open prize after prize! Getting married is so fun! A family friend made her rehearsal bouquet out of ribbon and paper plates...and I snapped away photos. Can't wait to celebrate with them on their I Do date! Congratulations!
