The Bridal Shower - Part I

Here's a sneak peek of the Bridal Shower courtesy of my Aunt L. There will be other posts coming soon.

So do you remember this post ? Well, it NEVER happened (at least not at that time). It was all a part of the grand scheme my Mom had come up with to lure me back up to my parent's house this past weekend. My Mom and my Uncle's now Fiance (let's call her C) worked together on this. C actually went out to a jewelry store and picked out a ring to put on just to take a picture. She then sent me the picture with an email announcement that my Uncle had proposed to her. (Sneaky, Sneaky)...And it worked. I fell for it and fell hard! I am so thankful though that it was a true surprise, it made it that much more special.

So without further ado...The Bridal Shower!

The Guests:
We had a huge turnout. 30 + people had come from as far as an hour and a half to celebrate with me. I had many aunts and cousins, as well as, HS classmates, previous and current co-workers (& Boss) and of course my girlies! There were also a few guys but they left when the fun stuff began =).

They caught me licking yummy chocolate off my fingers.

The Decor:

My Mom and FMIL came up with the theme, Naughty & Nice. They dressed up the outside as being tropical since tropical usually means nice (lol). There was a tiki bar with grass skirts and palm trees everywhere. They then set-up the dining room to be the Naughty room. There were all sorts of naughty items there...You can see for yourself in the pics.

The Nice...

The cake table.

My Mom made homemade chocolate and stuffed them into those boxes with a monogram on there.

Close-up pics coming soon.

The dessert and snack table.

The desserts were samples of what my Aunt L will be making for our dessert table.

Yummy, yummy cake balls!

The Naughty...

Made by my sister.

The Penis Pinata to be hit with a Dick Stick (ha!)

Please excuse the Bible in the picture.

The Naughty table with all types of goodies...

Condoms, handcuffs, dice, love gels and candy.

The chandelier had shot glasses, garter belts and a honey do whistle hanging from it.

The Entertainment:

My FMIL with the help of my Mom came up with some awesome bridal shower games. Before my arrival the ladies were playing the game where they wore clothes pins and the only rule was that they could not say my name or the person who heard it can take their pin from them. They had a lot of fun with that one.

Other games:

• Kiss the Stud - Every girl had to put on lipstick then be blindfolded. They then had to kiss the poster of the male character. I think the rules were to get close to his lips but we changed the rules and made the gals kiss close to his (ahem)... You get the idea =)


• The Teddy Game - Bridal Shower version of Hot Potato. In a huge circle, us ladies had to pass the gift bag that contained a teddy. Whomever had the bag when the person in charge said stop, they had to wear the teddy for the rest of the shower... When the winner ( or loser) peaked in the bag, it was really a Teddy Bear and not a teddy =)


• Bridal Bingo - This was done when opening the gifts. This is a pretty common game but the jist of it is that the ladies had to write in the boxes the gifts they believed I received. They then gave their card to the person on the right. When I started to reveal gifts, they had to cross off their card the gift if it was listed. The winner would have Bingo.

Yes, the apron had a schlong...

This was actually the gag gift given to my Mom at her bridal shower 29 yrs. ago by her late step father. I am supposed to pass it on to my daughter on her shower.

Not much to say!

The last bit of enterainment came with a stripping gorilla (yes, I said it!). Thank God they chose to stay away from a real stripper!! Even so, I was really embarrassed. Enjoy!

That's a penis hat by the way!

I hope you enjoyed the first pictures of my shower. Any interesting things done at your shower? Share with us your experience.
