AW - My bridal shower (PIP)

My bridal shower was yesterday.  There were about 40 people there and another 10-15 who had RSVP'd but didn't show up for various reasons (a couple of them brought me gifts to church this morning).  It was a little overwhelming to realize that everyone was there for me and all of those gifts were for me.  My friends were so generous and I got so many compliments on what FI & I had selected for our registries.  I only had a couple of duplicate gifts (2 coffee makers, 2 ice cream scoops and 2 apple slicers).

Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and my hostesses did a great job.  They took the picture we included in our wedding invites and had them put that on the cake.  The cake was marble with the whipped dairy frosting and bavarian cream filling from the same place we're getting our wedding cake (our wedding cake is going to be chocolate with bavarian cream filling and chocolate fudge frosting).

I've already started writing my thank you cards - 12 down, about 30 to go.  Here are some pics from the shower:

I smiled through at least 4 cameras taking 2-3 pictures each


this is my maid of honor, Shelby


this was the 1st gift I opened - mixing bowls!


this gift was too pretty to open


this beautiful frame was inside that beautifully wrapped gift - it wasn't on our registry, but it fits perfectly with the frames we did put on the list and I like it so much better (even FI likes it)


this was handmade by a dear sweet woman - we call her Grandma Carol (she's the nursery attendant at our church)


this is me with 2 of my BM's and my MOH...my 3rd BM couldn't be there (she lives out of state), but one of my BM's texted her pics all afternoon so she could feel like she was there...and I'm holding the ribbon/bow bouquet that I'll use for my rehearsal.

    I love that frame! It looks like you had a blast!
    I'm not good at feelings.

    I am not at all surprised that you had a large number of very generous and loving friends attend. You get what you give. :)

    I'm really glad everyone had a good time.

    And, whoo hoo! A month and a half! Ditto Jeana -- enjoy every last second of this special time!
