(post) Bridal Shower

Last weekend, a few friends and I hosted a bridal shower for our dear friend, Jennifer. This was an unusual shower because it is almost 2 months after she got married.  But our philosophy is that every bride deserves a party in her honor regardless of how early or late that may be.  So this shower was a travel theme because Jennifer - along with the rest of us - loves to travel.  In fact, Melissa and I knew of the legendary Jennifer long before we ever met her because when we first moved to the PB Ward, we heard about a gazillion times, "Jennifer's in Paris", "Jennifer's back from Paris", "Have you seen Jennifer since she went to Paris"..... Paris, Paris, Paris.  

Anyway, that was 9 years ago and we have all been many places since.  So the theme was travel and each guest was asked to select a country that would be represented in their gift.  I selected Egypt and gave her Egyptian Cotton 400 thread count sheet set.  Nice, I know.  (HINT: when I get married, I really like new sheets!)  It was great fun and I think all the girls were amazingly creative with their countries/gifts.  So here are a few pictures of our shower.  But first I want to say congratulations to the new couple.  I really am happy for them and wish them all the best in this world.  I look back on that time in my life with tremendous joy.  It was a very special time with a very special group of friends.  I am so glad they allowed us new girls to be part of them.
