My Mom, FMIL, etc decided to go the non-traditional route with this one! My Mom wanted to make sure that it was held at the place I wanted and that I was happy with everything so she asked for my input before booking it.

So, we went looking around and found a great place with awesome food to have it at!! I also bought a nice dress for it so she told me the date of the shower so that I'll be able to get ready, get my nails, hair and make up done and wear the dress I bought too! It is going to be on June 10th from 1-5 at Mannino's in Commack!!

We picked a great menu and I'm really excited. The date works out really well too because it does not coincide with vacations plans! I don't know any other details like favors, invites, decorations, etc... My bridal party will handle that so there is still some element of surprise. And BTW, a big thank you to Melissa for being so helpful and all-around wonderful with everything lately!!! You are the best bridesmaid, seriously, I'm so lucky to have you!!

Thank you to everyone who was so kind to me the last few days- it was tuff but in the end it worked out and we got a place and everyone is happy- including me! Yay!!

Re: My Bridal Shower is all set!!!

yay!!! so happy it's at Maninno's...cause quite frankly that's a YUMMY place!

and as for it not being a surprise.....well...i think we see all the time how ppl try and pull of the surprise and it doesn't work! my girls 'surprised' me, but it didn't work. but i still loved it cause i didn't know allll the details.

due to other reasons danielle didn't state....it was important that she be involved in the shower decision of location. so i'm very happy that you all came to an agreement and have it set. now myself and your other BMs will handle the rest!

Dani the place looks GREAT! That is quite the delish menu! YUM

I actually know where my shower is to (I just don't know when). My mom, FMIL and BM's wanted to make sure it was held at a place I really liked so they went with one of my favorite restaurants.

Good luck and congrats sweets!
