Hey Ladies!!!!! First I want to thanks every one for their help.... Lots of your help was given without you even knowing!!! I got some of my ideas from the ladies here, such as a towle cake, and the Photo Cube ( AKA Photo Card Box).... I made many things, more thank I thought I could, but it was good practice for my Wedding!!!!! Well here are the pics.... Oh, we had the shower at Pomodorino's in Hauppauge on Motor Pkwy.. And they did a Fabulous Job, Eberyone had a great time....
Ok... A list of things I made!!!!

My Sister's Bridal Shower Invite and I put it in a Shadow Box

I put my Sister's wedding Invite in a Shadow Box Also.

Towel Cake (Her wedding colors are Lavender & White, But she registered for Black towels)

A Rolling Pin For all the guest well wishes... I fought with the sewing machine for 2 hours, then I stiched the satin by hand....

Candle Basket- I don't know who I got the Idea from, but when I read it to my Sister, had the whole room in tears....

Oh, My mom made a Cinderella Carraige with Flowers and the Cake topper inside

Oh, i also made menus for the tables, b/c the guests had five entree to choose from...

I think That's it... Oh, wait, I don't know if I have pics, but I made the favors too.. I made Popouri Saches, and we had candles that I bought at CVS, they are big, and their scent was 'New Beginnings'.....

Here is the Poem..... I got it from another post, I forgot which one....

A Basket of Candles
For bride name

A basket of candles That come in a pair
In all different colors, For you two to share
The white ones burn first
They are wrapped in white lace
To celebrate your first married night
In your new chosen place
The green pair is taller, and also much thinner
Burn with the first company, you have over for dinner
The dark blue candles are for after your first fight
Use them to burn while making up all night
Pink candles set the mood and pave the way
For your first married Valentine’s Day
Now, when your first year of marriage is through
The cream anniversary pair, will light for you two.
Red candles aflame, both your futures are bright.
Celebrate promotions you’ve worked toward with all of your might.
By this time we hope, maybe, just maybe
You can light the purple ones, on the birth of your baby,
And just when you thought, you’d put these away
Take the light blue ones out-for your fifth anniversary day.
Now just one more pair left-for the big 2 5
The anniversary pair that will keep your love alive
Congratulations bride and groom (enter names)
On the start of your forever
May the two of you always be happy together
And burn these candles
Just the way we said
But please don’t forget-blow them out before bed!

With love,
Your bridal party
