Yesterday, I received an exciting piece of mail:
Albeit a little beat up from the USPS
My Matron of Honor had mentioned that I should be receiving my bridal shower invitation soon, so this must be it! I immediately tore it open with glee, ecstatic to be getting a tiny glimpse of the details of my fabulous shower, only to find this:

What a tease! They sent me a fake-out Mad Libs-esque invitation, with only my name filled in at the top. I know the date, time and location of my shower, but those clever, creative bridesmaids of mine are doing a good job of hiding all of the fun details from me. They know it’s killing me to not have a clue, but I’m sure the surprises will make my shower all that much more fun when it finally does roll around.
In what clever ways have your bridesmaids kept your shower details a secret from you?
That’s awesome!! My MOH actually managed to keep the date a surprise, along with all the details. She told me it would be one day, so I expected a shower then, details to follow. Completely unrelated (or so I thought), FI got us tickets to see a play one Saturday afternoon. So we’re driving to play and stop to get lunch on the way. We walk into the restaurant, and SURPRISE! It’s my shower. Turns out MOH had been emailing FI and all my girlfriends and planned it from 3000 miles away. It was amazing and I had the best time. Love her!!
The mad lib is very funny!
At least they gave you the date. My sister (the planner) was trying to keep everything so secret that she didn’t even tell me the date… well luckily my mom spilled the beans, because I had a flight that day! They had to reschedule, although they fortunately had not yet mailed the invitations. I could have missed my own shower! 
What a cute idea!
that’s adorable. yah… they kept the bridal shower info top secret from me. i was sooooo itching to contribute party ideas
The only thing that I know is that it’s August 3rd… other than that, my MOH isn’t telling me ANYTHING. The only reason I even got the date was because I was stressing about other August activities I had!
I know the date and location, and kinda the theme…and the guest list (they needed addresses) but mum has been the word on the rest of it.

About Me: Mr. Cupcake and I hit it off at a Halloween party and immediately began a long-distance relationship. After two years, he moved to my neck of the woods, and a year and a half after that, he proposed at the “place we fell in love.” I am a true perfectionist who enjoys designing and creating more work for myself, so wedding planning is my perfect outlet. Mr. Cupcake and I are both old souls, and we hope to weave that aspect of our personalities into our wedding day.
I’m so jealous..that ROCKS…I *heart* Mad Libs
