Best Shower Idea
So as you’re aware, I was guest of honour at my first bridal shower this past weekend.
Yes the nerves were there and I was overwhelmed by the amount of people who were there. My sister-in-law’s house was absolutely packed. It was raining so we all were inside (apparently it’s good luck to have it shower on your shower). While I was overwhelmed, the realization that everyone was actually there to support me and my fiance was so touching. I opened so many gifts they are literally overtaking my one bedroom apartment. I don’t mind though, it’s just another reason to convince my fiance to move.
While this was such an amazing shower, I did learn about a brilliant idea! My sister in law had everyone fill out their names and addresses on the front of envelopes for a draw. All of the envelopes were kept after the draw and at the end of the shower, she handed all of them to me along with Thank You cards. This way I don’t have to search for everyone’s names and addresses AND I already have the cards.
I just was amazed at this idea. I am so appreciating this right now as it takes some of the pressure off of me and makes the thank you’s a lot more enjoyable.
Its good to here that people supported you and that your fiance was so touching. I’m glad to hear all about your gifts and that you had such a lovely time. All the best to you a very interesting blog.
