My Sweet Shower!

June 26th, 2008 @ 5:57 pm by Mrs. Cream Puff

I have been MIA for days! I suck!! I’ve been waiting to post about my shower and bachelorette parties until I collected pictures from my friends. Luckily they are all super awesome and on top of it, and I got them less than a week later! Let’s start with my shower, which was hosted by my friends Amanda and Marianne, with help from Momma Puff.

First off, the decorations. Holy cute! All my favorite bright colors in one place, punctuated by lots and lots of candy!!

Did you see that? That bowl is full of chocolate covered gummy bears! My favorite!

And there was a sundae bar!

Clockwise: enjoying my sundae, Momma Puff and bridesmaid Julie making sundaes, Marianne and Marion, and Kathy creating a sundae masterpiece. And then there’s me, never one to turn down more sugar:

Thanks, Cousin Carol!

The thing I was most worried about regarding my shower was that I’d have to open gifts in front of everyone. Well, my friends, I am here to tell you that a) I survived, and b) it really wasn’t that bad! I am really thankful for all the gifts, too. I love them.

Marion and FMIL Puff made the lovely shower bouquet:

One of my favorite things about this shower was the Video 20 Questions we played. Amanda and Marianne conspired with Mr. Cream Puff to get him to answer 20 Questions on video. Then Amanda’s fiancé, Jason, edited the whole thing with funny music and we watched Mr. Cream Puff answer the questions.

The questions were things like:

1. When Mr. Cream Puff and his sister, Katie, were little, Mr. Cream Puff helped her look pretty by putting what in her hair? (answer: vaseline)

4. What is Mr. Cream Puff’s favorite board game? (answer: Scrabble). I totally did not know the answer to this question. When I saw the answer was Scrabble, I said, “he hasn’t played that game ONCE in the three years we’ve been together!” The group of us then watched Mr. Cream Puff show the box to the camera as a visual aid and blow three years of dust off the top of it!

10. What did Mr. Cream Puff do on your first date when you introduced him to your pet rat? (answer: he dropped her!)

18. Mr. Cream Puff once lost a baby tooth while eating and he thought it was a bone. What was he eating?
a) Chicken
b) Sea Cucumber
c) A marshmallow
d) An eggroll
The answer to this one, believe it or not, is c–a MARSHMALLOW. Yes, I got this wrong.

Overall, I did pretty well (sort of). I got thirteen right, and Mr. Cream Puff said he would have given me extra credit for getting so many details on the other ones. :-D

Obviously, my shower was amazing. I loved it! Thank you Amanda and Marianne, and to all my friends and family who came!

Yay!

Okay, so I learned how to do the photos like that from one of my friends, Courtney. She used this:

I have actually had that dress for a lot of years. I bought it at Nordstrom Rack for Passover when I was in college, and I bought a different dress for my shower. When I got the invite to my shower, I felt like the other dress just wasn’t “cupcakey” enough, so pulled this one out of the closet. :)

I absolutely love it!! I’ve already emailed this post to my MOH! LOL

Also, I’m glad you survived the gift opening portion. I’m a little worried about that part.

I thought the pictures I took sucked at the time, but you made them look pretty good when you posted them here! I’m sorry I haven’t sent pictures yet! There were too many to e-mail and the zip file was too big so Mark said on Tuesday he’d do it for me. I’ll bug him about it again tonight. I almost e-mailed you today to apologize because I KNEW you’d want to post about it. Fortunately for you most of my pictures are from the bachelorette party.

I LOVE the picture of you with the whipped cream!

I love the bright colors, decor, and games! I had a great time!
