A Spring Shower

Saturday, May 19, 2012

Today I hosted my sister's last bridal shower. She's getting hitched in Mexico in just a few weeks, and we're all so excited about our trip.

Today was a great chance for friends to visit over good food and a great atmosphere.

She wanted an informal shower....she didn't want to open presents (I don't blame her), so we hosted a display shower. It gave everyone time to chat and catch up. The only activity we had planned was a blessing ring for people to fill with favorite recipes, scriptures, or advice.

We wanted simple but delicious food, so we decided to go for an omelet bar and a yogurt parfait bar. Everyone helped themselves.

Each guest who wanted an omelet took a cup, wrote their name on it, added the veggies they wanted, and handed their cup to the cook.

I found this handsome guy to cook up the omelets, and he did a great job. They were delicious!

We had a variety of drinks available....coffee from the Keurig, orange juice, mimosas, and orange flavored water (which we have refilled about a dozen times today...everyone loves it including the kids).

We also had cupcakes and bundt cakes for dessert.

All in all, it was really a fun shower. Everyone raved about the food, and as long as you have a cook, it's really easy! (Thanks again, babe!)

Here is my mom, my sister (the bride to be!) and me posing for a little family shot.

It was a great, great day. Thanks to the 30+ women who showed up today to shower my sister with love!
