To kick the shower off, we had some delicious (non-chocolate) food and then launched into the lone shower game we played. (I’m not really into shower games, so I was happy to hear that we were only doing one.) One of my BMs had sent a list of questions to Mr. Snow Cone, and I was instructed to guess his answers. For every incorrect guess, I had to pop a piece of gum in my mouth. Unfortunately, I didn’t do nearly as well with this game as I expected, so I had a big ol’ blob of bubble gum when all was said and done.
(It looks kind of small in the photo, but the gum blob was HUGE. And gross. And neon blue.)
After the game, we tore into the sweets!
I’m sad to say that I started my dessert course with a “Death by Chocolate” trifle that got the best of me; I couldn’t scrounge up the strength to keep nibbling on all the other delectable goodies. It’s seriously my second-biggest bummer of the shower that I didn’t get to try everything. It’s my first-biggest bummer that I didn’t snatch any leftovers to binge on since the shower itself.
Finally, as all of the guests and myself fell into a sugar-induced stupor, we got to the gifts.
I was really nervous about this part of the shower, since it’s really easy for the present portion to draaaaag on and leave guests looking at their watches, scouting out the nearest exit. I booked my way through the gifts as fast as my hands would allow; one BM even deplored that I slow down at one point, since I was getting dangerously close to ahead of schedule for the one remaining shower event…
Mr. Snow Cone’s arrival! Although I wasn’t surprised to see him walk through the doors, I was pretty pumped about the gorgeous flowers he brought along with him. Chocolate out the wazoo and a huge bouquet all in one day? I should have a wedding shower every weekend!
I know these posts only offered kind of a quickfire rundown of the event and a barrage of photos, but I walked away from the shower with some new realizations about what the wedding day would be like. Stay tuned for my post-shower bridal brain!
Did you play any fun games at your shower?
Love your dress SC! We did a trivia game too, but luckily it was all info off our Web site, so I won.

youuu’re gonna need to tell me where you got that dress. kisses!
I love that your gift tracking was digital! We did mine on a plain ol’ clilpboard and notepad! (Albeit was a very cute pink clipboard bought for the occassion, but still…)
That was so sweet of Mr. Snow Cone to come with flowers! We played the brides/groom question/answer game too.
@Mrs. Prairie Dog: True dat! Your dress is super cute!
Your shower sounds awesome! I love the game where you guess your FI’s answers cause they are always wrong (the FI’s answers that is).
Love that dress, too!! And I am totally not looking forward to the present opening part. Is it weird that opening gifts in front of people totally freaks me out?
That’s the part I’m most dreading about my shower - opening all the presents! I always feel like I sound disingenuous even when I’m being sincere, so I’m afraid both that people will think I hate my presents and will be bored watching me open them. But hey - chocolate is awesome!
that’s a beautiful shower! and you look so beautiful in your dress!
My shower is Sunday… The part I am most dreading is if we play the question game (like you played)… I made my FI promise me this week that we wouldn’t be upset, even if I got EVERY SINGLE question wrong haha I hate it because I feel like everyone expects us to know our guys perfectly… and then they ask question that have never come up (esp. considering FI and I have only even been talking for just over a year…)… Oh boy!
I blew through the presents part, too, for the same reason. 
You had such a fab shower! That bubblegum game sounds like it gets exponentially hilarious.
I don’t know anything better than chocolate, presents and flowers. Your shower looks like a lot of fun. I am definitely not looking forward to the present part either. Maybe I can convince the Sammie sisters to skip it!
Shower games could be awesome, but your FI showing up with flowers for you sounds even better!

Mrs. Snow Cone, Pittsburgh/Johnstown, PA Age and Occupation: 23, Public Health Graduate Student Fiance's Age and Occupation: 23, Engineer Engagement Date: April 9, 2010 Wedding Date: August 2011 Venue: OMOS Church ceremony/Sunnehanna Country Club reception About Me: I’m one of the lucky ones---I met my future husband at the ripe old age of 13, started dating him as a mature woman of 15, and have been enjoying the ride ever since. Here we are, 8 years later, living in Pittsburgh, planning a "homestination" wedding in the place our school romance began---Johnstown, PA. I thrive on talking a mile a minute, eating my weight in chocolate, and internet shopping. I love a lengthy to-do list almost as much as I love a healthy amount of chaos in my life. Mr. Snow Cone and I watch countless episodes of Friends and The West Wing on repeat, root for rival college sports teams, and make each other laugh each and every day. We’re putting together a small-town wedding with a big personality and a classically modern (or modernly classic?) look for 250 of our closest family and friends. It’s been 8+ years in the making, and sometimes I still can’t believe I’m finally getting to marry my high school sweetheart!
