We ended up having two showers, mostly due to our crazy schedules. That, and the fact that the Mr. and I are from different towns. Our first shower was held in St. Louis, and hosted by my fabulous bridesmaids and some family friends. We opted for a couple’s shower, so we could both attend, and feel more comfortable.

The soiree was catered by the fab Pasta House (one of many St. Louis traditions), desserts provided by my bridesmaids, and the company by family and friends. Mom Argyle, with help from Mr. A’s mom, put together two memory boards with photos from throughout our childhood to provide guests with a little entertainment.

The Argyles before we open our gifts! We received some great gifts from everyone, but my favorite is definitely the Dyson vacuum. It was also the first gift I opened as soon as we got home (as in the same night).

Our second shower took place in Springfield, IL, which is Mr. A’s hometown. His mom put together a guest list that consisted of mostly his family, and some family friends, and had the shower catered by a local caterer.

We received some monogrammed towels!

And matching aprons (of which Mr. A seems obviously thrilled).

And enjoyed some delish cake!

We are forever grateful for the family and friends who not only helped to plan our showers, but were there to help us celebrate.

Did you have more than one shower? Were they similar or totally different?
