Weddingbee

I’ve never been more awestruck in my life. These girls are simply DIY creative geniuses. Every ounce of detail was covered and no corner was left undecorated or spruced. I learned just about a million gazillion things from my gfs through the bridal shower they threw for me, and I want to share it with you (finally!). Gotta tell you, out of 350+ pics, I’ve narrowed down just a bear-with-me-few (and very embarassing ones at that) to demonstrate how amazing this shower was, BEST EVER! Thanks to my girls, I love you gals so much! I was left in the dark to the happenings until I was brought to my destination….

It all started with this amazing invitation that guests received. It drove me nuts when people would ask if I knew anything and kept raving about the invitation they got and I didn’t get to see.


Genius! She created an email address for the shower so that no one’s personal email address would get bombarded.  That way all the BMs had access to it too! I loved the themed shower, it helped us SO much! Since then I’ve received invitations that sported the same idea!

The back of the invitation (no corner of details, left undone)

My girls even rented a place just to throw the shower. Who the hell would have thunk it? I was so clueless, I was screaming out every place we passed by as a guess and completely missed this house that had balloons attached to the outside. Look at the spread….. details details details! Presentation! BOW DOWN!

Fancy shpancy party for moi! They even posted the shower invitation in a frame next to a digiframe showcasing pictures of me and my girls….

OH MY GAAAAAWWWWWWW - fancy shpancy food for the guests. Everyone was oohing and awwing and asking for recipes. SCRUMDILICIOUS! And lookie how pretty the DIY food card was! I kept every single one! No joke!

You can’t tell but each napkin was individually wrapped and had a little box sticker with the letter J on it. WOWEE!

Because they sick like that - color coordinated napkins and color coordinated soap!

Favors for the guests - individually wrapped tulips! They served not only as gorgeous decoration, but it was also something pretty guests could bring home to put in a vase and not feel guilty tossing later.

And the prizes, potted plants (served as decorations too!)

Here are the tags using exact color ribbons that we used for our wedding!

Okay okay… the party finally starts! And I arrive adorned with the UGLY CRY face ….

I seriously was so honored and happy so many people showed up just for me that I ran around the room, screaming and giving each individual person a hug. Each guest that arrived late, I’d run screaming SURPRISE and throwing my wide open arms and body at them.

I stopped short when I saw the super cute display of invitation and pictures (thinking secretly… please please can I have it?- indeed it was for me)

I have no idea what I’m doing here… maybe showing off my wedding colored nails (hand and feet?)

Soon after gorging my face with all the foodgoodness, we played the first game - 20+ questions which we failed miserably. No joke. I think I ate 1.5 lemons. It was pure sadness.

She created individual questionnaire forms for each question, questions about me were in pink, with Mr. CB in the bottom right corner!

That’s me, seriously, stressing and praying for the answer to come to me. Sad, I know. LOL! (Ooohee - you can also see the name tag each guest got that matched the invite!)

Next on to the blind makeup game. Let’s just say this is how they envisioned me to look on the wedding day. My adorable flower girl said I was a pretty clown and kept laughing at me.

Bridal transformation begins…




When Mr. CB saw the pictures, he was, um, speechless to say the least.

Haha - even I was shocked at my own beauty after Bridal Transformation.

Next came gift time! Talk about setting up home, these ladies really helped us fill our kitchen out! THANK YOU!

Of course my little flowergirl was awesome at helping me opening gifts. I still loved her even after she called me a clown, a pretty one at that. She’s sOOO cute!

Best wrapped present goes to ….

All the effort deserved a shot at me wearing my lovely gif … so kinky!

I so was going to wear the panties too, little girl’s size poo wee - let me try. The room screamed “NO!” Of course, a couple of these kinky lady sized goodies snuck their way into my big girl shower.

And last but not least, a chance to make a steal at the gorgeous potted plants. We played “pass the carrot”. My goodness it got harder and harder as the carrot got shorter and shorter. It sure was a workout! Man I sure look agressive - COME TO ME! LOL!

What better way to end the shower than with me on the toilet and the plunger! My BMs were the sneaky ones that were the first to buy things off our registry that I posted about.

Just when you thought that was the end of already a genius shower, weeks later I was dying to see pictures of the shower. They presented me with this on slave driving night.

That in my hand is a stack of cards that they had given each individual guest to write 3 things they liked about me and 3 adjectives to describe me. (to the right, you can barely see more details that she used to wrap the gift and the cd over that had all the tags used for the shower)

Why do I look so shocked? Check out the amazing book, they ordered through Apple for me. *sniff*sniff*

 
The cards! So prettay!

I am the luckiest girl in the world. Period.
