Wedding Showers Galore

It has been the season of wedding showers!!! It has been so much fun to have a sister getting married and it's been fun to be a part of so many showers (and I haven't even gone to all of them)! I was able to throw a shower for her on Saturday and it was really fun. Our cousin, Kelsi, did the invitation for me and I just loved how it turned out. Becky invited her friends from high school and college and it was fun to get to know them (I spent most of Becky's high school and college years living in Ohio, so I wasn't able to know many of them). The girls came and we had lunch (chicken salad on crossaints, fruity pasta salad, veggies & dip, and chips. Dessert was a chocolate fountain with strawberries, bananas, pretzels, pound cake & vanilla wafers and cookies). Then, we played a wedding version of Scattergories. We used the letters in John & Becky's names and everyone had to come up with wedding words. Then, Becky opened gifts and we all visited. It was great!

The party favor!! (My favorite parts of parties are the invitations and the party favors!)


A couple of weeks ago, we had a family wedding shower. My aunt Mary and her girls put it together and did such a great job. It's a tradition to do a big dinner all together (including the men and children). John's parents and 2 sisters came as well and were really great sports about our huge group! We had Hawaiian haystacks and then Becky had asked Mary to play the "Hokey Pokey" on her accordion. Everyone was such a good sport and jumped right in!

Then, several weeks ago, John's cute mom, sisters, sister-in-laws & cousins, threw Becy a shower. My mom, Becky, Candy and I all went to it and they did such a great job! We had fun games to play (including a DVD of John answering questions) and a super yummy lunch!

We were also blessed to have a 2nd cousin, Camilla, get married last week, so several weeks ago, my mom and I threw her a family shower. Again, Kelsi made the invitation for us, we all had a big dinner together (this time BBQ beef sandwiches), they opened gifts and we had a great time.

Once again, my favorite part -the favor!! The shower was on Valentine's Day, so it was easy and fun to decorate for.
