So I started telling you about my oh-so-lovely shower, where I wasn’t only showered with gifts—but certainly with the care and affection of family and friends…
But I didn’t share the deets with you! Shame on me for teasing you and then falling off the planet. Although it is by no means an excuse, my day job has got me bouncing around the country non-stop—on top of a wedding that is almost here!!
So let me get back to business, bees!
Just for a refresher of the invites were my (yes my) labor of love…

So besides telling you about the menu in the “Mr. Sweet Cream & Mrs. Sweet Cream Go Together Like…” themed shower… Let me show you!!!
The scene of the beautiful presents!
Appetizers that made everyone’s lips smack!
Aunt Sweets made little cut outs of me & Mr. Sweets to adorn the bar…
with wine, beer, punch & homemade lemonade (with vodka to add yourself, of course!)
A “Cheese & Cracker” bar… Because like the sign says…
Me & Mr. Sweets…we go together!
A sandwich bar… with little signs like “Mr. Sweets & Miss Sweets Go Together Like…
Ham & Cheese…BBQ Pulled Pork & Apple Slaw…” You name it—it was there!
The deviled eggs with bacon was not only perfect for “Bacon & Eggs,”
but I don’t think I can have deviled eggs sans bacon ever again!
Look how sweet those signs are! BM Sweets wanted the font to go perfect with the invites!
And the cherished cookie bar! The crew had vintage milk bottles filled with milk and they thought nobody would drink it… And had to keep refilling them(!)
Sandwiches like: Pork chops & apple slaw sliders, chicken salad with grapes & walnuts, turkey & cranberry sandwiches with a mayo spread, apple & cheese open faced sandwiches…
And the cookie bar!! The cookies! Snickerdoodles, chocolate chip, oatmeal, sugar cookies & PB&J cookies all were devoured. And for those that weren’t? The leftover take home boxes that will be used for the wedding served as the perfect container for a take home treat!
My mouth is now drooling looking back on all of this.
What was your favorite thing to feast on at your shower? Did your crew go above and beyond your wildest dreams???
I loved the ‘Rach & Chris go together like cookies & milk’ sign, it’s reaaally cute.
I was hungry before but now I have to do something about it. Truly you were showered with lovingly made food to celebrate your shower.
The invites and paper cut-outs of you guys are so great! I’m kinda also wanting to reach into my screen and steal a few “Bacon & Eggs.”
That food looks and sounds amazing…this is one of the best themes I’ve seen for a shower! Love it!
This is such a great theme! I might have to drop my MOHs a hint…
Thanks, Ladies! I still feel so lucky looking back on it all. And trust me — the food was even BETTER than it looks!!! @tmaherne - drop the hint! People LOVED the theme!

Miss Sweet Cream, Philadelphia Age and Occupation: 26, Public Relations Account Manager Fiance's Age and Occupation: 26, Outside Sales Engagement Date: July 4, 2010 Wedding Date: October 2011 Venue: Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church / Rosebank Winery About Me: Born in the ‘burbs of Philly, it took some time living in the Big Apple to realize that I’m a girl who likes her roots. That’s why the mister and I bought a 1950s house on a charming street not too far from our childhood stompin’ grounds. This could also be the reason why our hometown is the scene where we are planning our super sweet, totally charming, BBQ-for-supper wedding that I never knew I always wanted. I DIE over DIY projects and live for vintage, heartfelt inspiration. I obsess over all things mid-century (from forks to furniture). Love is… cartoons and flea markets, and I am known to whip up a mean banana cream pie. I met the Mr. in grade school and after that boy took me for a spin on the handle bars of his BMX, I knew that things would never be the same again. Besides lovin’ my Mr., I also love to plan, sew and create, and that’s just what I’m doing as I navigate through the details, creating a laid-back day that oozes charm; one that will go down in (at least our) history as the Best. Day. Of all time.
