Shower Time!

My youngest niece, Shaelyn who is my sister Terri's daughter, is getting married this Fall. We had a family bridal shower for her on Saturday at our house.


Shaelyn's fiance's name is Jonny, he and his family live in Indiana.  His mom, 3 sisters and 2 grandma's drove up here for the shower.
We had the shower in the family room in our basement.  Here's a few photos from that evening.


Here's a little decoration on the gift table.




Here's our food table with a big balloon arch over it.  My daughter Laura did the balloons and they really looked cute.
We had chicken salad croissants, chips, spinach salad, stuffed tomatoes, chocolate dipped strawberries, punch and cake.  It was all good!




Here's the whole gang!





My sister Cheri planned a fun game involving cake testing. She got these different flavored cupcakes, split our group into teams and put blindfolds on everyone. They tried to come up with the flavor of the cake which our guests said was not easy when you didn't see the cake.  The team with the most right won.  Our flavors were german chocolate, key lime, apple crisp, peanut butter cup, cookie dough and strawberry cheesecake.



Time to open gifts!  Here's our bride-to-be with her sister Kaitlyn.





And here's Shaelyn with the cake.

We had a fun evening and enjoyed getting to know Jonny's family.

Hi Mari! Looks like a great shower! I really love your bookcase in the background of the group shots. It looks like you went all out and that everyone had a good time. I hope you have a good week. See you again soon!

The food table is both stunning and fun! The cupcake game sounds like fun. Couldn't help noticing your rug is absolutely spotless!! Or maybe that is just compared to mine!

Your basement family room is just the best place for gatherings like that (and getting the family together)!! The decorations were lovely and I'm sure it was enjoyed by all who attended!! I enjoyed seeing and hearing about it!!
