Two of my Mom’s best friends threw me a bridal shower in Maine this past weekend. It was wonderful, and I was so much more relaxed than at the first shower I had, since I actually knew everyone in attendance at this one!
It had all the ingredients for a perfect shower…
Great gifts (and optimistic guests who think Miss Tiramisu turning into
Mrs. Tiramisu might mean she finally learns how to cook).
A lingerie-giving grandmother. Who cracked everyone up by complaining about all the attention she gets now that she receives Victoria’s Secret catalogs in the mail at her senior apartment complex.
A diligent present-recording, favor-creating best friend/bridesmaid.

The adorable favors (28 plants were potted and 28 signs were gocco’ed, despite the fact that said best friend and favor-creator moved into a new house this week and is planning her own September wedding!). Just amazing, Kate.

Lots of food, including two yummy desserts that doubled as a second cake tasting. They’re from the same bakery, and are two of the three flavors we’re ordering for our wedding cake: lemon with fresh blueberries and chocolate with raspberry and chocolate ganache filling = YUM.
And perhaps in the not totally necessary category is my adorable Mom’s ever changing theme tree… which changes with the seasons, and is currently all decked out for wedding season:

Look closely- even Duncan the schnauzer made the cut.
All together now, “awww”. How cute are Moms?
Two wonderful showers, one lucky feeling bride-to-be. And I think this might officially be the end of the pre-wedding festivities.
What sorts of celebrating before the wedding is everyone else doing?
