Had My Shower Today!

I know I told some of you that my sister-in-law had told me when my shower was, but I thought is was next weekend. Well it as today and it was wonderful. My mom and sisters, along with my friend made it so pretty, quaint and wonderful. Talk about a house full of stuff though. On top of the stress, planning, now you get a whole living room full of gifts. LOL. I love my gifts; I just have no where to put anything in my apartment. On top of the bags of favors, centerpieces (porcelain angels), programs, etc., we can't walk in here anymore. On top of that, my brothers and sisters came back to my house (the messiest it could possibly be) for a chinese food dinner. Gosh, now that they have seen my apartment at it's worst, I'm not worrying anymore. I really never wanted a shower where I had to sit and open gifts in front of everyone,but it was fun and I had a wonderful time. Enjoy your showers ladies, it is a wonderful time. I made my sister go get my ring bearer, her son (3 years old). He came and helped me and I'll never forget the day.

I highly recommend James Faith Entertainment + The Peter Duchin Orchestras.

Thanks

Had My Shower Today!

Hi Kate,

I had mine also...it was fun! I am positively the ANTI-GIRL when it comes to showers...I HATE them...so I kept telling everyone I felt their pain by watching me open the ENDLESS presents...I could see how much planning my mom put into it, getting every detail down, including her original wedding hankerchief, making a garter from my communion dress lace and haveing her wedding night maribou slippers re-heeled....so funny...she built me an actual trousseau filled with lingerie and honeymoon things....It was so cool....It made me realize how lucky I am with my family, as well as all my friends and relatives...and my MAN-OF-HONOR was a natural!

They have two rooms. Our room has a room max of 240, and we had to guarentee 150 min. I think the other room upstairs is a bit bigger.

The wedding is May 20, 2000 at Land's End in Sayville. Time is ticking away....my mom took care of a lot of the little details that have been plaguing me for a while...garter, pocketbook, stockings, etc. The favors still have to be done and gifts, gifts, gifts....it'll all get done soon though...how about you?

I'm May 26th and gifts gifts gifts is what I'm doing right now. I finished my favors, centerpieces. I made my girls quilts, which I thought would be easy, but it wasn't, but I'm glad I did. I didn't buy a garter, or any of my little stuff yet. I'm just mosying along. Every week I go do a little something more. I still need unity candles, garter, stockings, and SOMETHING BORROWED. I have no-where to put something borrowed. UGH!

I know...too many details....boys gifts are the hardest...my fiancee is a jewelry maker and designer, so the girls are covered....I want to do something for the moms, but the dads are so hard to buy for and I don't want to leave them out...

Stephanie on this site has a favor business. She gave a great idea for Dads. She has handkerchiefs for Dad with nice sayings on them. My dad and my FIL both use handkerchiefs still so I'm going to get them. I have to call her this week. I can't find her site, but if you post a message to her, she'll respond.

My fiance is a musician so my mom thought up a pretty saying, I printed it on paper in blue and green and matted it in a blue denim mat with a rutic wood frame. The border around the saying is cleff notes. My wedding is at Eastwind in the Country Gardens.
