Bridal Shower

 

This weekend we threw a bridal shower for one of Mike's good friend's fiance. We had never met her before since she is from Pennsylvania. She was such a trooper for flying out here to meet her family and let us shower her. She was so sweet too. I would've been so scared and nervous to be thousands of miles away from home and hang out with a bunch of strangers, what a trooper! We all really liked and her and quickly realized why Taylor thought she was "the one" Marcia volunteered to have the shower at her house. Katie was in charge of invitations, Marcia was in charge of food, and I was in charge of the decorations and games. Of course I left it all until last minute. I seem to have the best ideas when I'm under pressure (at least that's my excuse) 

 

 



Thankfully most of my sister in laws were in town so I had help with all the last minute decorating. Plus it was fun to sit around the table and mingle while doing crafts.

 

 

I woke up the day of and thought we needed a cute banner to put up (Procrastination at its best:)

 

This little guest book tree was such a pain in the butt, but boy was it cute when it was finished!

 

We played bridal shower bingo. We were supposed to fill up our own bingo cards of words she would say while telling her love story. It was such a great idea from Ann. We got to get to know the bride while playing a game, it was perfect.

Next we made wedding dresses out of toilet paper. This game never gets old. It's so fun to see how creative people are. Kaitlyn's dress almost looked like a real dress!

 

 

After our games the future Mrs. Rohm opened her presents. Since they would be flying back home we asked for people to bring gift cards. I think she's going to have fun shopping when she gets home!

 

It was such a fun crowd! Every one was so fun during the games. It was a mini Stewart-Rohm reunion and there was a lot of mingling and giggling. I think it's so great that my family and the Rohms grew up almost as family and they still are such great friends.

I loved meeting Kara. She is such a sweet girl and I'm excited for her and Taylor to start the married life together!
