My mother and sister hosted a bridal shower for my daughter this past weekend.  Over 40 people attended and we all had a very lovely time.

I was overwhelmed by the generosity of our friends.  And I was delighted to find that friends from one circle knew friends from another.

Mom and Wendie (that’s my sister) served a light luncheon.  It was very well received:

  • quiches – cheese, broccoli, ham & broccoli, and ham
  • a beautiful green salad with strawberries
  • a gelatin salad
  • pickles
  • nuts
  • mints
  • cake
  • punch
  • coffee

Mom had collected every card table from every friend and family member she knows.  They were scattered about, giving guests little clusters of four to enjoy.  Rose candles floated inside ruffled jars on each table.

RJ, my future son-in-law popped by the hen party for just a few minutes.  I heard several people mention what a beautiful couple they are.  I agree!

The shower made the impending wedding so much more real!  This weekend, I enjoyed the festivities.  Now I’m in a panic to get everything else done for the wedding!
