AW: Bridal Shower PIP Heavy

My shower was yesterday! I had an amazing time...there's was a bit of craziness but all in all it turn out great. My girls held it at The Cheesecake Factory we had about 25 ladies come.

They had a whole day of activites planned for me...we begun the day with breakfast, then all the Bridesmaid took me to the spa where we had massages, pedicures and spent some time in the sauna. The then took me to get my make up done and we headed over to cheesecake.

I ended up getting so much lingerie I don't have to shop at all for the honeymoon or awhile...I was so surprised with everyone's generosity

It was way more than I expected but I felt really special. Here are some pics...

  • I love the Cheesecake Factory!  I've thought about having mine at a restaurant too.  Gotta ask you a few questions: How many guests were at your bridal shower, Did you have a large section of the restaurant reserved, Was there enough space to do traditional shower things like play games and open all presents, and what did you do about food, did your BMs pay for it or were guests expected to pay?  Sorry for all these questions, just trying to weigh my options :)

    <div>Total there was about 27 ladies including me.The particular cheesecake we went to did not have a private room so we had a section. Some locations do have private rooms this one just did not. These was room to do presents and games etc we played a few games and presents weren't an issue. Initially I felt wierd about holding the stuff up but I got over it pretty quickly as no one was looking besides my guests. </div><div>
    </div><div>My mom and MOH arranged for a special menu with certain food in their budget and they ended up splitting the costs. There were a lot of options foodwise. After talking to a lot of ppl they were coming expecting to pay for themselves so I think it depends on your crowd ettiquete wise they all said they didn't care either way. Everyone paid for their own alcohol and my family paid for their meals. The manager gave us two cheesecakes on the house and overall it was a lot of fun. </div><div>
    </div><div>The only negatives my mom and MOH said that they wouldn't seat them until everyone was there and some ppl were running late. But the service and food was awesome.</div>
