Bridal Shower

This is Chantae, the bride. She was pretty nervous about what she was in for. We were actually pretty nice to her.

The funnest thing we did was to divide into four groups and each group got 4 rolls of toilet paper and they had to make a wedding dress.

We were pretty impressed about how well they did. It was a pretty big pile of TP when we took it off.

These are the cupcakes that nearly caused me to have a mental breakdown. I baked them two days before and the cake mixes weren't cooperating (lesson learned was always use Betty Crocker cake mix). Our local grocery store sold cupcake holders so I could transport them safely, which saved my life. Then the night before the shower I frosted them. My parents don't have AC and their house was crazy hot and my frosting was melting faster than Chelsey and I could get it on. We stopped and waited until about 10 pm to finish. However, I think they turned out so cute...all 60 of them!

The bridal shower turned out to be a success but I don't think I will ever volunteer to do another one. Thanks Julia for your help.
I forgot my camera for her wedding but it turned out perfect and we had a great time sharing the experience with them. Congratulations Kyle and Chantae!!!

I'm Can't believe I did It.

My little sister is getting married in a couple of weeks and her maid of honor and I are throwing her a bridal shower. Come to find out when I finally got her invitation list she has 50 people on it! Well, needless to say that many people sure changed my entire plan. No more handmade cards, party favors and really great punch (requires a lot of expensive ingredients). So I had to rethink things. First was invitations, to send that many invites was going to cost me around $80 at least. Then I thought if I could do a post card that would cut postage in half, Yeah! Well I couldn't find a post style anywhere unless I had them special made and then my price went back up so I thought well why can't I make one. So I don't know how to digital scrapbook even though I have been wanting to start. So I downloaded the program, purchased a few items and 5 hours later...urgh.... viola. I scribbled out the personal info so if there are any freaks out there.
