AW: My Mad Hatter Tea Party Bridal Shower!
in Connecticut
My bridal shower was yesterday at Farmingbury Hills Golf Course in Wolcott and was absolutely amazing! My mom and all my bridesmaids threw me a beautiful mad hatter tea party shower with so many neat little details. There was a topsy turvy cake with three layers, each layer was a different flavor and they were red velvet, strawberry swirl, and white cake. Yum! There was also a mimosa fountain and tea pots on each table with several different flavors of tea. There were also different tea recipes framed on each table and the table centerpieces were tea cups with roses in them. One of my BM's also laminated pictures of Alice & Wonderland and had them at each table. And the favors were cupcakes that the guests took home in little cupcake boxes.
We played a few games, one of them was the pocketbook game and it was funny to see how huge some girl's purses are! We also played the newly wed game and I was really embarrassed by some of the answers FI had given to my BM's before the shower...haha. My mom also passed out recipe cards and a lot of ladies wrote down some great recipes that I can't wait to try out.
Then it was time to open gifts, I can't believe how many gifts we got! Although, I will point out that no one touched our Crate & Barrel registry. Not at all! Our Target registry is almost depleted and then BBB was also very popular but I couldn't believe no one shopped at Crate & Barrel.. I love that place!
It was such a beautiful day, and I'm so thankful for all my BM's they did an incredible job and everything was awesome! I posted some pictures below of the fun.

My MOH got me these super cute flip flops to wear on the HM that'll leave the words imprinted on the sand.

[QUOTE]That's awesome! (LOVE the cake). BTW, I've heard lots of comments from my family in CT, having no clue where Crate & Barrel is. I guess I'll have to rely on the Boston people b/c I love that place too!

Yeah it's crazy.. my mom and one of my close friends love Crate & Barrel and neither of them shopped there! haha... we always go to the one in West Hartford, but there's one in Westport too. I'll definitely be using that registry completion discount after the wedding because both me and FI love their stuff! :0)
