After most of the guests had left the bridal shower (and I was totally exhausted), Mr. Ticket decided to surprise me.

I had mentioned a few weeks ago how awesome it was when he brought me flowers at the first shower, but I didn’t think he would remember and actually bring me flowers (two dozen roses, no less!). I love that man.

I gave my amazing hostesses their gifts. Sister/MOH Ticket got a bottle of wine and an apron from Anthropologie, and Mama Ticket got a 12-quart red stock pot by Paula Deen she had been eyeing for months.

We both got aprons that day!

With Reno relatives and Sister Ticket still over, we sat around and talked (and snacked) and might have even popped open a bottle of Bug Juice (sooooooooo yummy).

FB decided to inspect our presents and make sure they were all up to her standards.

FB approved of the Paula Deen cookware.

FB tried to escape on multiple occasions to play with the dogs.

FB wore out Mr. Ticket pretty quickly. She’s good at that. =)

Overall the “after party” was just as fun as the shower. Nothing better than relaxing with family after a long day of bridalness. I even got all of our thank you notes written out that night, after a glass (or two…) of wine.

Did you have a fun “after party” post bridal shower? Do you ever just take a break with family/friends after long bouts of wedding planning/mania?
