We had my bridal shower on Saturday- it was fabulous!! All my bridesmaids came to Gainesville
They used our pink and chocolate wedding colors and the theme was "How Sweet it is" and we had a beautiful dessert shower! For favors one of my BMs had custom chocolate bars made with our picture on them, and the huge surprise was that they had all the guests send in recipes and pictures in advance, and had a really nice cookbook professionally printed!! There were recipes and pictures from some of my deceased recipes which was a really nice touch- even my dog Lily "submitted" a recipe for homemade doggie treats
I got a lot of really nice gifts, it was really quite overwhelming opening all of them in front of the guests! My cousin gave me a huge basket filled with a ton of pink kitchen tools (supporting Susan Komen breast cancer foundation) and told me she expects me to start using them right away
Surprisingly half the gifts were items not on our registry- but I loved them all!I am moving to Miami on Thursday so this is a big week for me!! Don't worry I'm going to stay on the NF board!
