BFF Bridal Shower Pics

Wanted to share what kept me too busy to get on this weekend. I hosted my best friends bridal shower this weekend and I think it went really well, though I am now thoroughly exhausted. 

The spread (we did a cheese and a chocolate fondue with fruit and veggie trays and cupcakes):

We did a sparkling pink lemonade drink and crockpot hot chocolate with a toppings bar of peppermint, mini marshmallows, and whipped cream:

The cupcakes were sweet potato and strawberry champagne with the large cupcake being red velvet cake.

The gift table with the shutterfly photo book I made for her to have guests write in their marriage and wedding advice:

The quilt I made all wrapped up with a couple of undie-pops that I made.

She loved the quilt :

The obligatory ribbon/bow hat:

We also threw her a bachelorette party that same night as well, because it was the only time we could get everybody in town at the same time, not right before the wedding, but pictures of that, alas are classified :)

Nick and I had a very relaxing day today after getting everybody who spent the night out of our house. A hot bath with candles and bath salts really did the trick after such a long and crazy week/weekend. Glad it is over so I can get back to nesting regularly. :)

  • Undie pops? Please share the directions (and you will have to dumb them down for this non-crafty girl).

  • I kind of made it up. I saw someone do something similar with baby washclothes on etsy. Basically I took a cute pair of underwear and folded it until it was a long skinny rectangle and spiraled it like a lollipop and secured it with a straight pin. I have some clear candy bags and lollipop sticks that I bought at Michael's. you put the rolled undies in the bag and insert lollipop stick and secured with ribbon or twistie (I used both). I wish I had pictures of how I did it, but I didn't think to take any. I got her a couple of thongs too and those I rolled up together so it would be roughly the same size as the boyshort one.
