Something Blue {with a Twist} Bridal Shower

My younger sister Rebecca's Bridal Shower was on Saturday.
As soon as she got engaged & her chose her wedding colors, I started planning this shower in my head. I hosted the shower at my house & I was in charge of the invites, the cupcakes, all the "details" and the decorations. You know how I love those little details! My older sister, Mom & Aunt made the food. It was a total group effort!
Our bridesmaids dresses are Aqua "Tiffany" Blue & she is going to have pops of orange, lime green, red & yellow for our flowers. Because of that, I knew I wanted to incorporate that into her Bridal Shower. I am loving the color combo of aqua & orange right now, so I decided that the "theme" for the shower would be:
Something Blue {with a Twist}
The twist was the splashes of orange that I added for the shower.
Here are the shower details!

Invites that I made:
{Available in my Etsy shop}

Decorations:
Pom Poms!
I love Pom Poms!
On the tables I had flowers along with blue & orange candy:
Nothing says Spring like Tulips! And, on Saturday it was 77 degrees! In February!
At one of the tables, I had dipped pretzels also:
The plates had the favor cookies on them:

I got 2 types of cookies at a local bakery, wedding dresses & wedding cakes:
I made the favor tags with their initials & wedding date:
I also had a bouquet of flowers that will be similar to what our bridesmaids bouquets will look like. The coloras are going to look so pretty with our aqua dresses!

My sisters & I:

And, one with my mom & her girls!

The Menu:
Beverages - We offered mimosas, white white, sparkling water & sparkling lemonade.

Veggies & Hummus:

Banana Bread & Zucchini Bread:

We had 3 types of Quiche:
Spinach & Bacon
Ham & Cheese:
Veggie:
Fruit Salad:
Mixed Greens with mandarin oranges, pecans & avocado:
Funny side note, my mother in law brought a sponge to the shower & gave it to my older sister so that they could use it when cleaning the shower dishes.
In case you missed it, I am a sponge-a-phobe.
The tables:

We got to meet my cousin's new baby, Brodie for the first time!

We had about 25 women attend.

The Activities:

When I sent out the invitations, I also included a blank recipe card & a note that said to include your favorite recipe in order to build Rebecca's cooking repertoire.
When I got married 8.5 years ago, one of our family friends did this for one of my Wedding Showers & it was so great to have a collection of great recipes. That is where I got my Taco Soup recipe!

She got some really yummy recipes! I am going to borrow some :)

The game we played was called 20 Questions.
We came up with 20 Questions about Rebecca & Jason's relationship and future.
We asked Jason the questions the day before the shower.
Then at the shower, we asked each guest to write down how many questions they think Rebecca & Jason will answer the same.

Rebecca was getting a little stressed after she missed a few questions. She needed more wine :)

She answered 14 out of 20 questions the same way Jason answered.

Next, it was time for dessert while Rebecca opened presents!
Dessert was 2 types of cupcakes. I made Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough & Funfetti (Rebecca's favorite)

Jason's mom gave Rebecca a gift from Victoria Secret (that could have been awkward) but it was a really pretty white satin robe that said 'Bride' on it:

My family room looked like a Crate & Barrel show room after she finished opening all her presents!

We had so much fun celebrating Rebecca this weekend!
Next up is the Bachelorette party in March & then the wedding in April!
And, today just so happens to be Rebecca's 27th Birthday!
Happy Birthday to the Future Mrs. Baker!
