A few weeks ago we threw Katalina her bridal shower. In my house. Like I hosted. And this is what I learned--hostess with the mostess.... I AM NOT. The party started at 2 o'clock and the first guest rang the doorbell (on time) and I was in my pajamas. It was pretty shameful. But I managed to recover and the party was a success despite the rocky start and I'm pretty darn proud. After weeks of pinning ideas from Pinterest and laboring over such fine details like what cupcake toppers to use we pulled it off. "We" as in my entire family because it takes a village, literally, especially when I decide that I want to craft and DIY decorations when I've never even held a glue gun in my hand before planning this party.
Katalina will be a May bride, as in, holy cow the wedding is less two weekends away! So our theme was "April Showers bring May Brides."
And it wouldn't be a party without some kind of photo booth set up. Which after a lot of trial and tribulation we were able to pull off! It was probably 15 minutes before the party was about to start when Chris (my other sister) and I were this close to just nixing the idea. But it turned out great and was a big hit.
The adorable "I do" cake toppers were from this etsy shop.
And this adorable print came from the lovely Jessica at it's Just my Type
I didn't get a good picture of it framed but it was a sweet touch, especially since Kathy and Jessica are friends and used to work together.
Now any ideas what I can do with 15 strings of colorful rain drops? Because I cannot bring myself to throw them away. Not after everyone in my family spent nights cutting out rain drops and I burned myself a zillion times using that damn hot glue gun.
