The Bride-to-Be
It was a pleasure to host a bridal shower for our friend, Lauren. Matthew’s and her wedding is just around the corner and we’re all very excited for them. The festivities centered around a Kitchen Recipe theme. All the guests stocked her up with plenty of cookware and Fiesta ware to fill their new kitchen.
We caught up with friends. We played games (because I love games). We played one game where the guest had to guess the spices in unmarked jars by looking or smelling it. We also played a memory game with some obscure kitchen items. And the favorite game was one where I read the ingredients to a recipe and the guests had to guess what the dish was. The game prize was some of that homemade blueberry jam I’d been working on the last few weeks.
I found the cutest wedding cookie cutters at Hobby Lobby in the shapes of a wedding dress, cake, double heart and double bells. And I couldn’t resist. They’re not as cute at the examples on the package, but the ones I made didn’t come out too shabby. But the hit of the party had to be the Lemon-Blueberry Cake with White Chocolate Icing. (We have enjoyed this cake many times at our friends, the Selvaraj’s, home on Dominic’s birthdays.) The party favors were lovely herbs that the co-hostess, June, picked out last week.
And Lauren’s wedding favor is a St. Michael Chaplet that she made by hand–250 of them! She gave them out early to friends who weren’t going to make it to the wedding in Kentucky.
We wish you many blessing dear friend. God love you, Lauren!
