My shower review..hehe

Everything was really great.  We did a luncheon buffet, and there was TONS of food, all was better than the last thing.  I didn’t eat to much, but everyone raved.  The wait staff at the restaurant was awesome as well.  The room was set up really nicely, and my girls added some awesome centerpieces and decorations.  Favors for starfish tealight holders from Yankee Candle and each table was named after a different beach location that has meaning for me.  The table cards, the centerpices, everything was awesome and looked amazing.  The invites were super cute.  They did play 1 game and had really nice gifts to give to the winners as well.   We got almost everything off both our registries at Macys and Williams-sonoma.  A LOT of pot holders and dish towels!  A bunch of people commented that I did great opening gifts and acknowledging people and what they got.    I will tell you, it is REALLY overwhelming.  We had invited 60 and 32 came, and holy cow, I still feel bad that I didn’t get to talk to everyone or even say hi to some people.  There was a lot going on, but overall it was perfect!!!!   Yippee!  Now it’s all wedding for the next 6 months.  Might need to put an addition on the house for all our awesome stuff.And thank you for the well wishes ladies :).  OH one gross side note... I was rushing to get ready and after my shower I was so hot.  I just couldn't cool off.  I started sweating HORRIBLY, and no in deoderized areas, on my face.  Once I started, I couldn't stop.  I sweated the ENTIRE shower, it was gross.  Ugh.  Need to fix this before the wedding.

  • Cristina I am so glad everything went well for you!!! How exciting! You'll have to post pics in your planning bio for us all to see!! Or on FB! :)
  • Congrats on an awesome shower - glad you got so many great gifts! As for not being able to visit everyone, I'm sure they understand. My baby shower had 51 people and by the time we ate, opened gifts, and passed out cake, they were all leaving. I still feel horrible about that but I made sure to make my thank you notes a little longer and let them know I was sorry we didn't have more time to spend together.
  • Sounds like you had a great time!  It's really nice that you were able to at least acknowledge people as you opened their gifts.  Nice touch.  :) As for the sweating, do you think it was related to nerves from being in the spotlight?  I got so nervous the first time I was a bridesmaid (yeah, not even the bride), that my neck and chest got all splotchy before we walked down the aisle!  Maybe the cure on your wedding day is a hefty glass of wine!
    Anniversary
  • It sounds like everything went well!! I'm glad to hear that :)
