My Momma's Getting Hitched

I can't tell you how excited I am for my mom. She's in love and getting ready to tie the knot at the end of this month. This last Sunday my aunts and I threw a bridal shower for my mom. It was a good group of ladies, not too many and not too few.


The Help: These women put their talents together to create a fun party for the bride to be. (Moniqua, myself, Maria, Michele, Sophia)

Gifts: The gift theme was Lingerie. I'd love to show photos of the elegant unmentionables but they wouldn't be unmentionables if you saw them would they?

Favors: Cupcakes?! Nope! These favors are loaded with mass amounts of chocolate and we know that real women love their chocolate. I was up late baking but it was so worth it! These sweets are brownie cookies in cupcake form! Thanks for the sweet idea Bakerella!

Go for the prize: We had a few games set up. The Bubblicious Sculpture game is one of my favorites. Each girl was instructed to use a piece of bubble gum (unchewed) and sculpt anything that has to do with "Wedding"

Some were really creative like the "wedding dress & shoes" and the "wedding cake". There were some sculptures I cannot mention but had us laughing almost to the point of tears. We had a very creative group of "ladies".

And the winner is Moniqua with her sculpture of the "happy bride".... It looks just like her!
Purse Raid: The crazy game where women pull all their junk out of their purse. There's really no need to have a bunch of useless junk in our purses but we do.

Wisdom Bouquet: I created a bunch of pretty floral cut-outs for this bouquet. Each girl wrote down her words of wisdom or wedding wishes for the bride. Later I will create a scrap book for my mom using these flowers and the photos from the shower as a keepsake. For now she's enjoying her bouquet at home.

The shower was a hit! We accomplished our goal for making it memorable for and fun for my mom.
