My shower was on Saturday and it turned out beautifully! I was a little worried about the invitations going out on time (as you may remember), but it turned out okay in the end. It was a pretty small group of us, just about a dozen--but that was perfect. It ended up being my closest friends and family. Win-win!
I didn't take any pictures myself, but I have a few my mom took. The one I'm attaching here is of me and my sister, who surprised me by flying down from New England just for my shower! It was so nice to see her. We really don't get to see each other that often.
The shower spread was fabulous--quiche, salad, chickpea salad, some bacon-wrapped dates (my fave!), fruit, and deviled eggs, plus yummy cupcakes, cookies, and all kinds of candies. We had mimosas and some margarita punch, which was all so good. (I may have drank a bit too much--oops! FMIL had to drive us all home.)
FI and I ended up going to dinner with MOH, FILs, my mom, sister and her FI that night, which was great. We invited the other BMs, but all of them had plans. It was sort of a last minute thing, and but it was so nice to spend more time with everyone.
