Showered with Love – Part 1

I was fortunate enough to have two showers thrown for me before our wedding. The first on April 26th was organized by my mother-in-law.  I designed the invitations, which we sent mostly to Taylor’s family and our friends from the area. 

The cake matched the invitation I made!  Here’s a closer peek…

Of course my mom, sister and all but one member of the bridal posse were there (it’s kind of hard to make it to a Sunday bridal shower when you’re in Italy!), decorating, running around putting ice in cups, restocking food, chatting with guests, you name it, they did it.   My sister was even on pimple watch…yep, pre-party touch up! 

Here’s the hardworking team: my mother-in-law, my sister, me, mom, and my best friend from college.  
 

I opened presents, and my best friend from college was lucky enough to write down the gifts.  She returned the favor from when I did the same for her at her wedding shower, baby shower and baby’s 1st birthday.  She says she owed me.  🙂  You can see her smiling from the left when I tried on my new onion cutting goggles!

Taylor was even there, helping put gifts aside after I opened them, and helping out wherever we needed.  Everyone had a good time and it was really awesome to see how much people love us.   

Up next, the not-exactly-a-shower, shower!
