THANK YOU for all of your encouragement and words of advice - I sincerely appreciate them !!
If I do say so myself, the shower went quite well ~ YAY!!
The bride ended up being
totally surprised (she thought we were just going out for lunch), and everyone that came (about 10) ended up having a good time ... her mom even managed to come for an hour (both her & the bride live just over an hour away, across the US border).
The toilet paper wedding dresses and guests with their mouths absolutely stuffed with marshmellows (while trying to say Enrigue Iglesias & Sarah Michelle Gellar) will definitely make for some great photos!! I'll be sure to share some here as soon as they are developed.
Now it is on to putting together a special memory book for the bride (including pics from the shower, memories, etc), the final dress fitting (AGGHHH! now that's a whole story in itself!), the rehearsal dinner, and the big wedding on Friday ... so much to do, so little time (fast becoming my favorite saying)!!
Thanks again for your input, and I'll be sure to let you know how it goes
liEP,
~ Jen
