So, in addition to the fabulous food and super awesome gift planning, sister Joey also put together some games and little extra gift for me. The games were really fun and really funny.
She made her own mini version of wedding themed Scattergories, with special game sheets.

The categories were:
According to the picture, someone is having a Rico Sauve themed wedding where they dance to Rock Your Body and then get ready to leave for their honeymoon in Rhode Island. When they get back, they have some lovely rocks to enjoy. I don’t know what the bride is thinking.
The funny thing is, I actually gave someone rocks for a wedding gift. My friend registered for them.
Sister Joey also put together the sweetest gift that still makes me laugh and cry at the same time. She took a scrapbook and asked all the guest to give me marriage advice on the page with their assigned letter.

Some people wrote really sweet messages, and some wrote really funny ones – like my sister.
OK, here’s my disclaimer. This is not meant to disrespect Christians. It’s more of a play on an inside joke. Both my sister and I had the same religion teacher (at different times) who was a little kooky in a great way. He was really into what he taught. One year, on the last day before Christmas break, my sister’s religion class had a little Christmas party with cake. The religion teacher put a candle on the cake and lit it, and then the entire class just sat there. Someone asked what they were doing and the teacher said he was waiting for his homeboy JC to blow it out. Seriously. He wasn’t making fun of Jesus, he was just a character. That’s why everyone loved him. Occasionally, my sister will refer to Jesus as her homeboy and church as his crib.
Okay, now that you know the background story, here’s sister Joey’s entry in my fabulous advice book.
“J is for Jesus. If Jesus was married, I bet he would be a great husband. I mean really, who wouldn’t want to marry the Son of God. Those kids would have the best grandfather EVER!”
She’s not lying.
What kind of words of wisdom did you get about marriage?

What a cool idea for a shower game. So many of the shower’s I’ve been to have had some pathetic games, but I love scattegories! : ) Sounds like you had a great time!
I can’t wait to see what shower games come my way. I already told my mom I want to make tp dresses, but scattergories would be great too. Love the uber-thoughtful gift.
Haha. waiting for his homeboy JC? That’s awesome. = ) It’s still making me giggle.
What a great gift from your sister. = D
Usually I hate shower games, but Scattergories seems pretty fun. I may have to consider that idea!
Your sister sounds hilarious! I’m trying to come up with fun, not cheesy, games as an entertainment alternative (as opposed to dancing, which may easily flop) for our wedding, thanks for the idea. And, “Big Ups” to everybody’s homeboy. BTW, how long did her teacher wait for JC to drop by?
Well, I am not yet married. But I need to think of something to say to my friend who will be married soon. That may be difficult since, again, I’m not married. I guess I’ll make it funny! =) I’ve been helping her do some research on finding a Chicago Wedding Band to play at the reception. Maybe I’ll take some lyrics from one of those songs we listened to and incorporate it into my message somehow. Any advice on what an unwed girl should say?
@JBeebe: I guess they sat around for about a minute and eventually another teacher came around and blew out the candle when the religion teacher wasn’t looking. 
That scrapbook was just a wonderful idea HOW SWEET! and I love your sister’s message.

About Me: I'm a Seattle girl through and through except for the fact that I don't drink coffee. I love my job most of the time because I get to travel and work with brilliant people who are trying to prevent Malaria. I love DIY projects of all sorts, cooking, and watching sports. I'd wear anything at Anthropologie and could spend all day on Etsy. I love to travel but shouldn't because I always get myself into unbelievable situations!
