My shower was yesterday, and it went so amazingly!! As you guys know, I was kind of anxious about it - but as soon as I walked in, my cousin had a glass of sparkling wine (with blackberries in the bottom of it to go along with the purple theme of the shower!) ready for me. I was much less nervous once I was sipping on wine!
We had about 35 girls/women there - about 10 of my closest girlfriends and the rest were family. EVERYTHING was purple - my cousins bought every purple food they could think of(even purple potatoes!) to go along with the theme.
I was absolutely in awe of everyone's kindness as far as gifts and enthusiasm at the shower went. My friends were so much fun and so sweet to all of my older relatives. I think my favorite gifts were our kitchenaid food processor, kitchenaid blender, a kitchenaid coffeemaker, lots of fun stuff from crate and barrel, and a gorgeous silver serving tray/matching vase/table decorations from India that they had gotten at a fair trade store from my cousins who hosted the shower.
I am having trouble with PIPing on my macbook - I am hoping to be able to add some pics soon!
