MI Shower!




The MI Shower, hosted by Aunt Wendy and the Bridesmaids, was beautiful!

The garden party was complete with a big white tent covering lime green tables surrounded by tons of fresh flowers. Aunt Wendy, Jax, and Dev assembled gorgeous centerpieces of watering cans with bright fresh cut flowers, and cute favors of potted herbs tied with personalized lime green ribbon.

The Bridesmaids severed delicious Maurice salads, and Mom-Ross’ homemade Sanders hot Fudge creampuffs.

The big white tent came in handy, since we had a few tears from heaven. The Army of Bridesmaids went in to instant defense mode and quickly covered the gift table. They even powered through to serve the lunch and dessert in the rain! I couldn’t ask for better Bridesmaids.

While the ladies were enjoying the amazing shower, the boys were at the Man Shower. Basically Thom’s Dad took Thom, Chris, and Dad-Ross to the bar for some micro-brew, pizza and nachos. Then Dad-Ross delivered Thom to the shower to help open gifts.

While we were waiting for Thom to arrive, I pulled from the recipe cards to give the beautiful center pieces as gifts. Each woman was asked to write a recipe for a successful marriage. One of my favorite winners, was to “Love, Honor, but NEVER Obey”.

When Thom arrived, to a round of applause from all of the ladies, we started opening the gifts. We got so many nice gifts! It was so much fun opening all of our presents. Thank you to everyone for all of the wonderful gifts.

There are so many great pictures from the shower, but these are a few of my favorites.
