Bridal Shower #3

My BEAUTIFUL bridesmaids threw me a wonderful shower! It was a perfect day. I still can't get over the detail and the creativeness of the whole thing. Bare with me because I have a lot of pictures to post... only because I still can't believe what an amazing job the girls did :-)

The Shower was thrown on Saturday April 26th a Mexican Restaurant called "Cozy Mel's" in Manhattan Beach.

I WAS GREETED WITH A LEI!


The theme for the shower was "Honeymoon In Antigua". Everything was very tropical, which is what I LOVE!


Everyone had a flower shaped name tag, and they were pinned up on a decorated board. As if you couldn't tell already... three out of my ten bridesmaids are teachers... very much in their element :-)


And of course the cake was PERFECT for me!! I didn't want to cut it because it was so pretty.


I'd have to say I was most impressed with the centerpieces. I'm so glad they arrived safe and sound!




The tables looked great! Yummy Cookies!


Even down to the signage!


A cute "fun fact" display about the island of Antigua was posted on the opposite wall.









It was really nice to see everyone!

The Margaritas were flowing. I think MANGO was my favorite.








After Lunch... which was DELICIOUS! We played a few games. The first was entitled "How Well Do You Know Julianne & Mark?" Who ever got the most questions right WON! It was VERY cute!


We then played another game... It was a test on how well I knew Mark. I answered only 11 questions out of 20. But in all fairness... our answers had to match and MARK answered the questions WRONG!!! If he had answered the questions correctly I would have AT LEAST gotten 18 out of 20 correct. I hate not getting a PERFECT SCORE!!

On to gifts! I can't even begin to thank everyone! The generosity was unreal!






And I have to comment on Laura's wrapping job and card... I wish I could do what she does!


THANK YOU TO ALL MY BRIDESMAIDS! I CAN'T EVEN BEGIN TO EXPRESS MY GRATITUDE! I AM SO BLESSED TO HAVE EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU IN MY LIFE!

Only missing 2 girls... can't wait to actually have a picture with EVERYONE!
