I know I've been a bride for over a year now, but receiving the invitation to my bridal shower was really the first time I thought, "Oh my gosh, this is really happening!" I'm SO looking forward to my shower. It will be one of the first times that all of my family from both sides and all of my friends from both 'home' and 'school' will meet, as well as David's mom and sister getting to meet everyone. And how could I not be excited with invitations this cute?!
It was so weird to see my name as the 'bride-to-be'!
I actually found these invitations at TJ Maxx a couple weeks ago for $2/pkg and BM S loved them, so she went ahead and bought them. They turned out even cuter than I pictured them! It's a room to room shower, meaning that everyone is given a certain room of the house, and their gift is supposed to be something that can be used in that room! I'd never heard of this idea, but I'm so excited about it! She also used the cutest little poem on them:
And she included an adorable stamped recipe card (using the chandelier stamp I absolutely love!) in each invitation - I'm excited to see and use everyone's favorite recipes!
I can't believe the shower is now less than 4 weeks away. It's going to be here before I know it! All of the wedding related activities are going to make the time go by even faster - And they'll definitely make it feel like this is really happening! I'll be sure to post a recap of the shower, BM S is keeping most of it a secret from me, but I have a feeling it's going to be lots of fun!
What moment made you realize the wedding was actually happening?

ReplyDeleteVery exciting! My MOH used the same poem in mine. Love it!
ReplyDeletei didnt realize it until i was walking down the board walk. and i was like omg.. daddy.. im getting married!
ReplyDeleteGotta love TJ!! Cute invites and I can't wait to hear all about you shower!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I got it in the mail today and can't wait! I also love the idea of the room to room shower!
ReplyDeleteOh I just love the room to room idea!! We just settled on a shower date yesterday and like you it's all becoming reality! woohoo!!!
ReplyDeleteThe invite is adorable. The room to room theme is a great idea. We did an 'hour of the day shower' for a friend many years ago. Each guest was given a different hour of the day and told to bring a gift that the bride could use at that time. It was cool. For 7 am, she got a toaster, for 8 am, she got a massage shower head, for 9 pm, she got a magazine subscription...different stuff.
ReplyDeleteThe poem is super cute. I love it all. I was kind of freaked out (and excited) when it was finally time for my shower last month. But so sad because it truly did fly by and I barely got to speak to most of the guests. It made me realize that I really want to make the wedding day 'slow down' to be able to enjoy it and take it all in. :)
Ok - sad that I didn't get the recipe card in mine. :( I don't want to be the odd duck out and do my recipe on something ugly! :) Let me know what you want me to do. I LOVE THE INVITES. I was sooo excited to be included.
ReplyDeleteAnd...your hair-do trial - FUN!! Twenty five years ago --- that didn't happen!! You look SOOOOO BEAUTIFUL .... Thrilled for you. Does David know how BLESSED HE IS?? :)
