About Mrs. Plaid

…you love with love…

Oh, James Taylor. I got showered with lots of love this past weekend.

My bridesmaids decided to throw me a bridal shower/bachelorette party extravaganza all crammed into one day of delightfulness. BM Jenna even flew in from San Francisco for the weekend to party with us!

It was a very intimate affair. Four out of five of my fabulous BMs were able to make it and a few friends joined the party, too. I can’t get over how generous everyone was. I felt so loved!

I’ll start by showing you the details:

BM Tiffani ordered chocolates off TheKnot.com with our names on them and in our wedding colors. She also ordered custom cocktail napkins and personalized confetti. Is she cute, or what?

My sister organized the games. We kept them pretty tame. We played a game similar to Scattergories first. (If you don’t know what that game is, go buy it immediately. It’s awesome!) And then we played the Newlywed Game. My sis emailed Mr. P and got his answers. Some of them were very interesting. For instance, I apparently remind him of a chipmunk. (Homework: Ask your SO what animal you remind them of. It’ll be interesting. Promise.)

Co-MOH Leesa made lots of delicious food. Orange pecan mini-muffins, white bean dip, cinnamon fruit dip and loads more. Serious loads. We have lots of leftovers. Please come over and eat them so I don’t get fat. Just kidding…sort of.

There was a bit of a lingerie theme to the shower. Check out these adorable cookies BM Jenna made.

Cute, huh?

And I got some fabulous lingerie to temp Mr. P with.

I also got a picnic basket filled with wine, cheese, wine glasses and crackers, an awesome spatula for pancake flipping (Mr. P was very excited about this gift as he picked it out when we were registering) and an aphrodisiac cookbook. Oh yeah, and a panty sundae.

I sent the picture Mrs. Cheeseburger posted of her panty sundae to my sis in hopes she’d re-create it for me!

Check out this gorgeous cake my co-worker Bert made for me! And it was Funfetti inside. My favorite!

My bridesmaids and friends are awesome. I love y’all so much. Up next, bachelorette fun!

Did you have an awesome bridal shower? Was there a theme?

That looks like a fun shower! Since so many of my BMs are out of state, the plan is to combine the shower and bachelorette party into one weekend too!

Nearly everyone is in favor of going to heaven but too many are hoping they’ll live long enough to see an easing of the entrance requirements.
