Showers of Happiness for the Bride and Groom

Dear Diary,
I had the best birthday on Sunday!It was not only my birthday but my bridal shower! My mom and the girls did an awesome job! It was so overwhelming walking in and seeing all 90 faces staring up at me! Yes, I said 90! I was so happy to see everyone there and still couldn't believe they were all there for me.

I immediately started to make my rounds as I knew I wanted to make sure I got to thank everyone and spend a little bit of time with each of them. Then it was time to eat course one so I went to sit at my table where I was greeted with the standard Italian sign for good luck at these events: Jordan Almonds or confetti as we call it:)

J's Mom Mom filled two tea cups with these almonds for me and then made little favors for everyone else. My mom also got these adorable manicure sets for everyone too:

They were awesome and I was so excited they matched and I knew all the ladies would appreciate a gift I knew I could use.

J's mom had candy bars made as well and of course we had way more cake and cookies then any human being could eat. haha


Then I looked up at the tables of gifts. There were so many presents. Thank God I didn't have to sit and open them all. My mom wrapped hers for me to open but we asked all the other ladies to not wrap them so I could spend time with everyone and we could have fun. My mom made me this awesome towel cake that looked so real. It was beautiful:

It worked out great. The girls had plenty of games to play for everyone and everyone seemed to really have fun with them, especially the toilet paper bride game! My personal favorite!

I'm still waiting for pics from the actual shower so as soon as I have some i'll post a few:) But I just want to say how lucky I am to have such a great family, great group of friends and wonderful in laws. I'm truly blessed.
