Best Friend's Bridal Shower

First off I would like to say sorry for my lack of posts these last few weeks. I've been really busy with work and with helping my best friend with her wedding preparations, that is now a month away. Last year she asked me to be her maid of honor and I was shocked and excited at the same time. And yes I was shocked because even though she is one of my best friends I thought she would have chosen her roommate who she was super close to. It has been great to be by her side and helping her with creating her invitations, bridesmaids shopping, tasting the food that she will be serving and so much more.  It has also been fun/stressful planning the fun things for her like the bachelorette party (which she had requested that we stop planning for personal/financial reasons), and the bridal shower. 

We had the shower almost a month ago and I have to say it was amazing. She was so happy to have the small shower and to be with some of the people she loved the most. The theme of the shower was Southern belle since she is from South Carolina and is a southern belle. All of the decorations were from Party City and looked amazing. 

The food was southern comfort food that she loves! Like pimento cheese sandwiches and corn muffins. And then the rest was all things that we thought was good southern food like chicken and waffles, roasted turkey biscuit  sandwiches. As for drinks of course we had southern sweet tea and mimosas (one of her favorite types of drinks). I also decided that instead of a cake a small donut wall would be better and I was right. 

Now I come from a Hispanic family where you always have to give out some sort of party favors. I thought that it would be cool to give out something practical that they could use over and over so I cut out some vinyl with my mom's circuit and gave out some mason jar cups to everyone. Both the bride and her mom loved the cups, as well as everyone else. 

For the party the other bridesmaids and I thought it was a cool idea to have the guest come in tea party hats/fascinators. All but one of the guest came in one, which is ok because I did put on the invitation that they were encouraged but not required.

Aside from the shower itself, one of the best things were that the bridesmaids and myself came in black floral dresses and none of us planned it.

I'm super excited that there is only 30 days left till she says "I Do!" to her soulmate.
