This is the year of the wedding, at least for me. I was in my brother’s wedding in March, my sister’s wedding in April, and will be in a friend’s wedding in September. The date is fast approaching so it was time to shower the bride to be with gifts. I hosted a lingerie shower about a week ago and it turned out well! I kept the decor pretty simple. I used fresh flowers and the succulent bowls found on the cheap for centerpieces. I placed a pretty cloth napkin around the plastic bowl the plant came in, using a rubberband to secure it.
I chose to have the main meal catered but made my own salad and a festive party punch.
We played two games: What’s in Your Purse? and a game where teams had to create a ‘dress’ out of toilet paper! It was quite comical.
The guest of honor received such beautiful gifts and her lovely grandmother even gave me a gift for being the hostess! She gave me a magazine bin which is actually great because my bed side table has zero storage. It’s just a Goodwill table with a nice skirt, remember? This bin is the perfect place to keep all my reading material and gadgets.
Have you hosted any parties lately? Any fun games or prizes?
