I’ve Been Invited!

May 3rd, 2011 @ 11:46 am by Ms. Gazelle

I’m so excited, you guys—I’ve been invited! My super-awesome maid of honour and bridesmaid are planning my bridal shower. The girls know that I love tea. This is my shelf at work, full of a ridiculous amount of loose-leaf tea.

I also love me a good afternoon tea! We celebrated MOH T’s birthday a few years ago (when she was prego with my niece) with afternoon tea at the Fairmont in Banff Springs.

And my mom and I got off a red-eye flight and went straight to tea at the Chateau Frontenac in Quebec City a few years ago.

The girls were savvy and knew that a tea-themed bridal shower would be totally up my alley. They were so creative with the invitations, and I may have squealed as I opened mine up.

And finally there was a tea bag inside with all of the details printed on its tag. Seriously, how creative were the girls? I absolutely love it. Thanks, ladies!!!

Time to find me a hat…I wonder if Kate Middleton has one she can lend me?

Were you bowled away by your bridal-shower invite?

Lovely idea, maybe you can put some cognac in the tea and make it more interesting :)

I’m a tea lover too! The corner of my desk looks like your shelf- although I only have 4 or 5 bags, so you’ve got me beat there.

I’m not a tea person, but even from an outsider’s perspective I can appreciate the beauty of these invites. Well done, Gazelle friends!

Super creative invite. I love the idea of a tea themed bridal party. I need one of my girl friends to get engaged (well, find a boyfriend and then get engaged) so I can throw them one!
