program and will only be back in her home town for wedding planning and fun once before the big day. So her mother, my Aunt Glor, decided to throw her a surprise shower before she headed to the west coast. She got my mom and Auntie P. involved to coordinate and of course they put my sister and I to work.
Somewhere in the planning process we decided on a Parisian pink and black theme. You know I love a good color combo! The event was fabulous and the bride to be was surprised and thrilled.
One of my favorite projects is this Bon-Bon banner for the sweets table.
Mom and I collaborated on the design and had a blast using her new Cricut Expression machine.
The paper bride's crown and pins I made for the bridal party were well received.
We even got my dad in on it. He made this wishing well for a previous shower . . .
. . . and the Eiffel Tower centerpiece on the buffet table.
We, of course, included a fun candy bar . . .
. . . and decorated the shower umbrella made by my great grandmother that has been used at every shower in the family since the 60s. I also made on of my traditional banners for the bride to take home.
It was a blast creating and collaborating for this event but it was even cooler to see how much fun was had by Katy.
