We haven’t sent out our wedding invitations yet, so I’m not currently expecting anything in the mail, unless it’s bills or junk mail, that is. So I was pretty darned excited to open up the mailbox just the other day and find a letter with my name on it…one that I was really looking forward to receiving!

Oscar-cat is in the background, not to scale.

My mum and maid of honour have been in cahoots for a little while now about planning some sort of a shower together for me, and the invites have officially been sent out. I’m nervous/excited about the event at the same time—but I have to say, so far I’m loving the cute design they came up with!

It looks so much better without the blurred text.

Any invitation with a request of both frocks AND hats sounds brilliant to me! It’s like a little nod to my home away from home, England, where weddings are a great excuse to dress up all fancy and don your best head-wear. We may not be able to do that for our wedding, but now I get an excuse to go shopping for one anyway. Thanks, ladies!

After seeing the invitations, I had to giggle at the following message which fell out of the envelope— wise words from my Maid of Honour:

Duly noted, Miss K. Duly noted.

The shower is at the end of the month, and I must admit, I can’t wait to see what they’ve come up with. I know how much effort has already gone into it and I feel so lucky to have such beautiful women in my life. I don’t have many close girlfriends, so I know the day is going to be casual and intimate, and I couldn’t be happier.

What did you do for your bridal shower/kitchen tea?
