My Bridal Shower

Here are some pics from my bridal shower back in September of 2014. I LOVED the way my bridal shower turned out--the decorations were gorgeous (Thank you sister and mom)! Most of the decorations were homemade, although some of the decorations were bought from the dollar tree. We love the dollar tree/dollar store in my family! They have some seriously good party decorations.

The first picture you see above are the bridal shower gifts I made for my bridesmaids.
I got the glass jar cup at Old Time Pottery, and then I just hand  painted the jar cups. After the cups dried, I put little goodies in them (socks, lip balm, pop rocks, and a picture of each bridesmaid made with me). I had the pictures printed at Walgreen's and then I hot glued a pop-sickle stick to the picture and put it down in the middle of the jar cup. I got lucky and found those cute colorful socks on clearance.

Here is a pic of how I displayed them at my bridal shower! I think they turned out really cute!

So, I made this picture really big because I wanted everyone to be able to see the awesome banner my sister made by hand!!! Is it not awesome? We used it at my bachelorette and bridal parties!

So, Once again, my sister made the LOVE letters by hand! She bought the letters at Hobby Lobby, then picked out colorful scrapbook paper and glued the scrapbook paper to the letters (I'm assuming that was pretty tough considering you would have cut out the scrapbook paper to match up perfectly with the letters)! Anyway, I used these letters in mine and my husband's bedroom. They are beautiful and will last a long time I think. The picture on the right was a gift!!!! I love creative gifts like that. I really did think that was the coolest thing.

 I really loved how all the food turned out. Everything was fall-themed/bride themed. I made the cupcakes and underwear cookies. My sister made the owl cookies, and my mom made my awesome wedding dress cupcake cake. I really recommend trying to make your own food decor because A). You can make it look how you want and B). Make it taste how you want and C). Pay what you want.

I really enjoyed being able to help decorate my own bridal shower, mainly because I love event planning and decorating. I like to have control of how everything will look which is why I helped with some of the food and decorations.

Alright, well I hope you guys enjoyed the pics from my bridal shower and that I have inspired others to DIY! 

Thanks,

Ms. Monday : )
