Bridal Shower

My former roommate Tashina is getting married in a little more than a month! So, my friend Ali and I threw a bridal shower for her! I had lots of fun planning it. I don't know if you know this about me, but I think it would be so fun to be a party planner! I was hoping to be able to minor in event planning, but that's a different story. Anyways, the bridal shower was tonight and I was super happy about how it turned out so I wanted to share it with you so that you guys could see how creative and talented I am! ;) haha jk. kinda...
Anyhoo, here are some pictures! Here colors are pink and gold. We also had it in my apartment since not many people were coming on planning.... I mean planning on coming. I think I've been up too long today.

The whole view of the living room!

Close up of the banner. I love how this turned out! I got the idea from Pinterest and also from a bridal shower that I went to last year!

Refreshments! (best part, amIright?)

Yum! I love chocolate covered strawberries. I am also happy to announce that I made these. :)

We thought fruit would be a good snack because it's not too sugary, it's light, and it's healthy. Especially when covered in chocolate. ;)

Chocolate covered pretzels. So yummy! I did these also, with the help of Ali. She was in charge of the sprinkles.

And of course there has to be cake! These cupcakes we so delicious. Good job Ali! Ignore the naked cupcakes on top, and you can see that the white ones are sort of laid out in the shape of a dress. Can you guess where we got that idea from? You're right it was Pinterest!

 For the games, I did the Newlywed Game where I had a list of questions that I had her fiance answer yesterday, then for the game she had to guess what his answer would be and if she got it wrong, she had to eat a piece of gum. She ended up with 6 pieces I think. Doesn't seem like very many, but when you have that many in your mouth, it feels like a lot! I got the idea from another bridal shower I was at, but I got the questions online. Isn't the internet so great? The other game was a madlib! I got the printable from here. Only I made it a little cuter. Umm... oh I was also going to do a Present Bingo. This is where you give the guests a blank bingo card and they fill in what they think will be in the presents, and the first person to get bingo wins! We didn't end up doing this because there were only about 5 guests.
Overall it went well and I had fun. It would have been a little more fun and lively with more people, but that's okay! It was a good place to start at planning a party and I really enjoy it and hope that I can get better and be able to do more in the future!
